Oh yah, I’m quite certain that was a Voodoo2 on the 8433. Perhaps I had it paired with a G200, would need to check notes.

The GLQuake/MGA numbers come from @Chadti99 - from his MS-4144 and Biostar UUD boards runing properly. He built a fully stable 180/200mhz PC around the UUD. I will let him clarify here. --- as for phil's benchmarks: they provide minimally automated minimal set of DOS benchmarks. nothing interesting …

I still have it, will probably build a system around it soon.

Yes, it's possible this revision just doesn't work with PCI Bus Master.

Is that the S3 Trio32? Not sure I still have it, let me know. I could source another though.

I tried the chipset drivers found here: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1424&menustate=0 And I've tried moving slot positions and still the system hangs in the same spot. I'll try a few more things. Maybe another Mobo.

I’m using an Asus P3B-F with BX chipset. I’ll try chipset drivers and moving slots as mentioned! I hope you’re right, would really like to see some playable frame rates.

Without “gl_ztrick 0” the rendering gets trashed so it’s def required. I tried the drivers in the p3d zip and NT won’t allow me to install, maybe they are Win95 only? The drivers in the “p3d_mcd” folder must be bus master only as they crash the same as the bus master drivers in the “p3dnt” folder. …

Got it, I pulled the files for now. Mika said it was okay but let me double check. Yes the drivers in the P3DNT folder is what I'm currently using. I'll see if I can give the other drivers a shot!

Some great news guys, Petri Nordlund, who wrote the original drivers came through! I now have GLQuake running in NT4! Temper your expectations though as performance doesn't appear to be optimized, Timedemo1 is showing ~10fps on a 1400Mhz Tualatin. It looks fantastic and even supports 32bit modes, …

Oh I’ve actually been talking to Mika. I just asked him and he mentioned he would reach out to a friend, who wrote the driver, they might still have them. The SDK files I’ve shared include a Windows NT driver, maybe that’s all we need? Or would it need to have an opengl32.DLL or similar included? I …

Thank you, please keep me posted, would be amazing to see Quake running! Which model card does your friend have?

https://archive.org/details/tritech-pyramid3d-cd So far I've not found any Direct3D or OpenGL drivers so no games are running. The demos on the SDK are using a custom API. I'll try to reach out to a few folks and see if anything else turns up. Would love to see some old promo material for this thing …

Someone reached out on Twitter and provided the original SDK which had the demos Tim mentioned. Here is a terribly captured video of the "Game"demo running on a TR25202. I'll see if I can get ahold of some capture hardware soon and reupload. https://youtu.be/5yR1iRKoesY Would love to upload the SDK …

Re: IBM Aptiva 2159 S76, any love for these “Stealth” setups?

I could swear there was a way to up the FSB to 75mhz on that board, that would improve performance slightly Yes on a later motherboard revision, I swapped to this board and I’m running a K6-3 @ 450MHz (75x6) it gave a boost for sure. Pretty cool how far you could take a socket 5/7 system with these …
