Monitor is some HP LCD it's native resolution is 1920x1080 and 60Hz it has VGA/DVI. Actually I doubt the issue is the monitor but will try some other later. It's like there is a weird screen lagging in the mentioned games. I have retested them with an S3virge 1MB PCI card and come to the same …

Hello, Is there any driver which supports 3D acceleration for Voodoo3 for OS2? ( The only thing I could find is this SciTech Display Doctor 7 driver: sddse704.exe (not sure if this is the latest version) This driver at least works even up to (1600x1200 which is a bit lulz for a 16MB video card) but …

Thanks for the answers. Yeah actually it was ... a clusterfuck but I get it working ;) I share the solution because there might be somebody some day for some reason want to torture himself with OS2. So that EL59.oS2 I don't even know where that was coming from, the setup put it in there or whatever …

Hello, I wonder if anyone succeeded with this card, precisely 3c905C-TX/TX-M works fine in all old OSes. However OS2 is always a basket case, now I getting close to at least making it work on some old hardware, because this beast won't run on tons of older machines. To be precise this is the "newer" …

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough this topic is for pure MSDOS 6.22 only. I just mentioned that in Win98 everything works fine. For Msdos it doesn't make any difference if you have 512mb ram or 4gb ram, no difference at all.

Wow 1000x thanks for this, right out of the bat I was thinking the proposed solution is: throw your card out to the trashcan and buy an ISA SB16 :) Works like a charm I can confirm both the MSDOS6.22 and Win3.X drivers, the 9X was always working even with phils driver. Maybe some1 should hit …

So you say that these CPUs are actually running on 800Mhz for real? 😦 Can you please share that wire hack if I kill the cpus then I try that Palomino version I don't really want to buy additional hardware for this box but I'm all open for ideas.

Thanks for the suggestion, I chose the 7800GS even tho my research shows there would've been still better AGP cards like: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-7950-gt-agp.c754 But probably wouldn't matter as the CPUs being a bottleneck in many games. Here are my results with the rig …

Ok guys I actually fixed this, here is the solution for those who will have the same card, same issue: Use forceware 81.98 instead of the unofficial 82.69 This solved everything, driver works with the 256 MB limiter patch in both Win98SE and WinME. Thats a lie that the patch can only patch the 82.69 …

This is what I love about this community that there are some folks always trying to help. As I have said without that 256MB patch I can't even get any driver to work and that is locks you in using the 82.69. Anyway I have figured out that much that the problem is that I cannot set the resolution. I …

GeForce 6200 in pci and low profile is pretty common, but going past the FX series makes for sacrifices in compatibility from what people around here have tested and posted. Worth a try, and has fully functioning DX9 unlike the FX 5200. I got the AGP version of this card with 512MB ram. It works …
