For those curious what gpu driver is being used its forceware 81.98
Are the screensavers, like 3D maze and pipes, working on your machine?
I remember them crashing constantly on my system until I downgraded the driver to 70.something.
Not sure about pipes but 3D maze works for me, I use flying through space though personally
Maybe 3D maze worked on my machine, but the other 3D screensavers definetly didn't.
The Geforce 4 drivers were somehow fricked on Win 98. I used the exact same GPU btw.
Se or regular ti 4800?
Regular.
Mines an SE but I can overclock to stock settings so it might aswell be a 4800, honestly back then ti 4400 was a killer deal consider 9/10 times you could overclock to the stock clocks of the 4600 , honestly it was a great deal back then
good old bungholiomarks
Last time I ran bungholio mark, once I made it to your mom, my fx 5950 burst into flames 🙁
Did I travel back to the year 2000?
I might redo the test with forceware 45 drivers, the 81 drivers might be too much for a 3ghz pentium 4 to keep up with and the 400 mhz adds just enough leeway to get through
That's a sick build OP. If I had that I'd be fragging noobs left and right in Quake all day.
I tried playing vtmb on it but despite the sys req being "386mb of ram" it eats up all 512, I have the max ram patch installed so I can use 4gbs but programs that require a disc to run wont work properly
Good enough for Doom 3
Eh not really, youd really want to go with a FX refresh i.e 5900 5950 or go with 6 series cards
I played doom3 at 15 fps on low back in the day and was ecstatic.
I beat ds1 at 12 fps on an A6-7310 with r4 graphics, I was away for work when I heard about darksouls through the DS3 trailer so I wanted to check the series out but the only pc I had with me att was an all in one with the aforementioned specs, at 12 fps I managed to beat the entire game and I got GOOD at it
Post your /retro/ machines.
they're all in storage in some kind
makes me sad I can't immediately hop on them
That's a shame.
>fx 5200
Ouch, throw it out
That's how the machine came. Was thinking of replacing it with something older and higher end, but it should be fine for what I'm interested in.
