Re: Ultima IX issue - Lag on loading books

in Windows
I've had this exact issue on countless systems when trying to run Ultima IX. I'm afraid there ain't much of a solution, it seems to be tied to the Direct3D renderer. Perhaps you could try a Glide Wrapper such as the original dgVoodoo, I remember the problem going away when using a 3dfx card. Oh yes …

Re: Ultima IX issue - Lag on loading books

in Windows
It's been a long time since I played so my memory is foggy, but I think the same thing used to happen on my P2. It might have happened to everybody. I wonder if playing from a ramdisk or ssd would fix it. Just after a long search, I found an amatorial program called "Ultima IX extended setup …

Re: Ultima IX issue - Lag on loading books

in Windows
Years and years later, I am playing another time at this big big game. I have the same issue. Lag when open books. I installed the game, I installed the patch 1.05, then 1.18f, then the 1.19f and the 1.19h. Then the italian translation patch for the dialogues. How can I solve this issue?

Re: Finally my 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI project!

link to the heatsinks you ordered. Looks like some pretty thick thermal tape was used. Did the tape come with them. My SLI project is a ways out for now. The case I intend to use needs some modifications and I need to have a plastic trim piece for it manufactured, since my case was salvaged I never …

Re: Finally my 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI project!

Here I am finally. The heatsink are arrived and I just installed them! Here we go with the images! What do you think about it? I tried in Unreal for about half an hour and they was warm, but non definately hot! I think I succeded in the cooling operations!

Re: Finally my 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI project!

This is the first time I seen 2 8MB Voodoo 2 cards being used in SLI, nice. I can see that cooling is already mentioned. Your case looks to be not so great for cooling, especially with no exhaust fan. Even if you give the V2s some active cooling, they might end up just circulating the hotter air …

Re: Finally my 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI project!

Get some air cooling going for these Voodoo 2's...they get hotter the faster the cpu speed is. Putting them in like this and also with other cards above and below, they will get really hot. When Voodoo 2 got released a Pentium II 300 Mhz was the fastest processor and i'm sure the cooling/thermal …

Re: Finally my 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI project!

In short - if you're playing at 1024 x 768, SLI is good :) And yes the 4mb/4mb split is also correct for 8MB SLI setup Perfect, thanks a lot. Overall system picture sorry? Tell me what you want and I will do ;) Show us the complete build under a desk with it's monitor, speakers etc. What do you see …
