Good cooling solution for older GPU’s?

Has anyone found a good solution for attaching heat sinks and fans to the GPU’s that never originally had them? Right now I’m MacGruber-ing it with rubber bands and paper clips lol. Is there a thermal adhesive tape that actually works? I’d rather not use an epoxy that would be difficult to remove if …

Re: PowerVR Fun Thread

So 18.432 is just a bit too much, seeing some graphics corruption even with a make shift cooler, which admittedly isn’t the best. But damn it’s quite a bit faster! Unreal@512x384x24=58fps, up from 49 Quake2@640x480x24=30fps , up from 24 Quake@400x300x24=71fps , up from 64 Maybe with better cooling …

Re: ATI Xpert 98 refuses to work in Win98

No prompt here but I went ahead and installed DX9, unfortunately still having the same issue. If I attempt to change the display resolution it will ask to restart and then I’m presented with this error on startup. Appreciate everyone’s help so far, I’m sure we’ll figure it out!

Re: PowerVR Fun Thread

Looking at the guide I posted earlier trying to figure out the pin disconnect method mentioned but I can’t seem to find the “AV9107-05” IC on the board. Can anyone point it out? Thanks!

Re: PowerVR Fun Thread

Sounds like that mwdmeyer's cool new card is doing the pin lifting mod mentioned in the guide you found Chadti.. Overclocking your FSB/PCI speed really helps all round performance as well. I am trying to get a system stable with the PCI bus at 50MHz +, then I might test this mod in conjunction. I …

ATI Xpert 98 refuses to work in Win98

Purchased one new off eBay, looking for a Rage Pro chipset. This guy is a RageXL PCI and I’ve tried the drivers Included on the installation CD and drivers from the vogons ftp. And so far I’m stuck at 640x480x8. I’ll post some pics of the card and box later if that helps. I’ve had the issue on two …

Re: PowerVR Fun Thread

Okay, moved it over to the 1.4 Tualitin for fun and seeing ~47fps in Unreal at 512x384x24. Quake 2 is hitting 33fps at 400x300x24. Some decent gains over the K6-3. This was using a Tseng Labs et6000 has the host. I tried also with a Matrox G200 AGP and was having issues. Unreal wouldn’t start for …

Re: PowerVR Fun Thread

So I’m currently hitting ~37FPS@512x384 on a Matrox m3D in Unreal 217. In Quake 2 I’m seeing ~24 FPS@400x300. This is on a K6-3@450Mhz. Before I go to the trouble, would moving this card to a 1.4Ghz Tualitin system yield much gain?
