Re: FIFA 2000 with Direct 3D

You'll have to go through the same process as the ATI. This game is looking for older cards than any GeForce 2/3. You won't do any worse than you are presently, so it doesn't hurt to try. However, I found this ATI patch. It includes older ATI cards, but it at least has a Radeon option. Give it a try …

3DMark '99 - Geforce7 7950GT on Windows ME. It’s CPU bottlenecked around 24600 3DMarks all the up to 1600x1200, 32bit color, 24bit Z-Buffer. Bumping AA to 2xQ on these settings finally has the card doing some work as shown, but not much more. 22361.

Ok, got Windows XP fully sorted out. Now trying dual boot with Win7 x64, have re-partitioned the drive to install Win7 but ran into a problem of the PC freezing every time it gets to the "Getting files ready for installation (1%)". I see the disks and can format them without loading any additional …

Thanks! I remember nForce chipsets being pretty nasty and needing drivers but always thought it was for RAID only :) I'm now playing around with nLite, been ages since I used it for the last time. Shame that XP requires a floppy drive to load drivers. You can try Vista, also, I forgot to mention ( …

If OFF doesn't disable the controllers, OFF is IDE. In either case - ON is probably AHCI. XP 32-bit has no built-in AHCI drivers, so your options are: A - Create a floppy disk and copy the AHCI and/or RAID drivers onto the disk. Press F6 during setup for the prompt to insert disk and add mass- …

I've never played the game, but make sure all of the values in the registry are set like this: "D3D Device"=dword:00000001 "Triple Buffer"=dword:00000001 <---- Doesn't matter other than performance, but you change to "Triple Buffer"=dword:00000000 if you think it's a problem.

The Gravis GamePad Pro is a digital device with more buttons than a traditional joystick. I believe it requires additional software to work. The USB version doesn't need any software (unless for a Mac). Windows 98 recognizes all of the buttons out of the box. Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3D for example …

Argh... I forgot how annoying it is to install Windows 2000 in dual boot without pre-partitioning the drive. I remembered to keep the USB flash drive disconnected, but I only created a C: partition. I installed 98, but then I wasn't paying attention during the Windows 2000 install as I was doing …

I didn't believe Geforce 7 series ran on Windows 9X/ME. Is there a modified driver for it? You can get 9000 series running, even: https://theretroweb.com/drivers/96 Have you actually tried this? Newest I have been able to actually get working on 9x is the 7 series. 8 series (at least the 8800 Ultra …

Hmm... what kind of fits? There are lots of people running GPUs with way more VRAM than that on XP. 9X not XP, heh. OH... duh. :rofl: Sorry. I must have replaced 9X with XP while reading that. Though, I guess this is the first time I have heard of large VRAM specifically causing issues in 9x as …

Huh. Didn't know 7950GT had a 256MB version, I thought they were all 512s. TIL. Seems like that would basically shoot the card in the foot for titles like Quake 4 and BF2 I have a few 7950's with 512MB of RAM, but I wanted one with only 256 for 9X since 512MB gives it fits. Hmm... what kind of fits …

Yes, but you need to go into the Registry: You can add something like this, but I don't know what the 3D Thrash driver is called for Direct3D (D3D). Add the thrash driver name for "Thrash Driver"="" <--between the quotes. It will be something generic for Direct3D/D3D. Take a look inside the FIFA …
