Is mercenaries an "add-on" or does it come bundled with the original? IT IS! Sorry mate! If someone says Mechwarrior always the Merc games came in my mind i always forget the Base Game Existed >.< Thats the Right one for 3dfx Support https://archive.org/download/MechWarrior_2_31st_Century_Combat_ …

If I can manage I'll grab a 4090 or 4090ti as soon as they drop. You might need a new 1200 watt PSU to power them beasts. That aside, I have a 3080ti that I find hard to use its full power, even recent games are hard pressed to use it fully unless I abuse RT without DLSS, but for pure raster stuff …

I recently snapped up this Montego II Quadzilla (Vortex 2) still sealed. The wrap is pretty loose, though. I'm curious to see all that's inside, but I don't know if I'll open it. Nice shot, but I don't think it's originally packaged - it seems to me that the box has chipped corners and has been …

I think baking it in the oven would do the trick. Here in Brazil it is even common for video cards to have problems when they are sent by mail, because they are inside the car during transport, and the car is under the tropical sun, all goods inside the delivery car are very hot, and sometimes …

If you got a card with 4ns memory and 128-bit bus I'd call that a win. Getting a 64-bit card would be a disappointment. The Mobility 9700 was supposed to run more efficiently than the Mobility 9600, reaching higher clocks at the same TDP. I wonder if it is a good overclocker. But here comes a …

As far i know Gotek started for the Amigas, cause thats where you need a floppy. As a PC User i tend, even back then to run most games from HDD as it was faster. I guess its a nice have as a "close to real" feature otherwise i dont really see why you would need it. Some Goteks are even modified and …

GeForce 5200 and nvidia driver 77.72 could be a problem. People tend to use some in the 4x.xx Region cause it worked better maybe try it? Have a nearly similar system here will try it the next days myself...if i can somehow repeat the problem with my 5200
