Hey Guys,
Finally got the last piece to complete my "OPTi tribute system" being the Opti 82C264 VGA card after hunting for around 1 year - which is nothing special at all apart from the fact that is made by Opti. Turns out its quite slow just like the Viper M chipset (82C556M, 82C557M & 82C558M). All this perfectly complements the Opti 82C924 sound card which features the Opti 82C941 wavetable synthesizer I would rate average at best however all my games are set to use general midi despite the card having a genuine Yamaha OPL chip just to appreciate the hardware 🤣. Was planning on pairing the hardware with a Pentium 100Mhz but had to settle for a 166Mhz to squeeze the performance of a 100Mhz system out of it 🤣.
Benchmarks
3b Bench: 81.3, Chris 3d bench: 131.2 / 78.7, Chris 640x480 36/21.6, Pc player 31.8, PC player 640x480 11.0, Doom min: 168.98FPS, Doom max 41.6FPS, Quake 28.4FPS, Landmark 1730/3447/10240, Topbench: 254, Spedsys CPU 123.06 Mem bandwidth 117.85Mb/s VGA bandwidth 15115Kb/s
Overall a slow system for what it is, but a system I will be keeping as is forever to cherish and enjoy. I think its pretty cool 1 company made such a variety of components
