Re: Recommended 2D/3D card for a 233MMX PC

Posted on 2022-05-05, 16:23

In my experience, all these 2D strategy games from turn of millenium period are surprisingly difficult to run on period correct hardware. You are experiencing this with Heroes 3 on MMX, I saw this with a K6-2 on Red Alert 2. With this kind of processor you would be perfectly well served with a TNT1 …

If you already have a Voodoo2, you have an optimal setup. What DDraw games are causing you issues? You will not really see a performance boost with a card that is faster at 2D, plus 2MB should be enough for the games the rest of the system will be able to play. Heroes 3 moves a bit slow, I had …

OK So... I have the option to get: -Savage 4 LT 8MB PCI -Voodoo Banshee 16MB PCI Currently I have S3 2MB + Voodoo 2 which is bad in DirectDraw 2D games (because of the 2MB?) I prefer to have either one of these instead of getting a 4MB S3 + Voodoo2 Is it a good fit Savage4+Voodoo 2/ Banshee+Voodoo …

Hi Yes I played those games in 1999 when I had a Pentium 3 500mhz + Voodoo 3 What about FIFA 99? does it have 3d acceleration? My S3 plays it very fine. I can find Voodoo 2 8MB very cheap from a friend, not Voodoo 1. I haven't found any settings in Sims (sims is 800x600 I believe), or Heroes for …
