This soundtrack is sooo good!

Turns out, the best retro* game card? *1995 (directx support) - 2005.

7:27 The chipset cooler you have there is a thermalright NB-1. I know this is 3 years late but do not lose that, they're rare little nuggets. They were apparently unobtainium even back when they were being sold, judging by the old forum threads. The heatsink is built along the same principles as their SLK series of CPU coolers, which was their last high-performance line before they adopted heatpipes. I've got a copper one with the P4 mounting hooks, which I jealously guard until I can get an SLK to have a matching set. Also please appreciate that I didn't offer to buy yours for the mounting hardware lol.

I had that same case for my system of that era. Unfortunately I couldn't afford a real Pentium CPU back then, and had to get by with a Cyrix 6x86 PR166, which performed pretty bad running Quake, due to the extremely slow FPU. For Christmas in 1996 I received a 3dfx Voodoo 1 which allowed me to run GLQuake, and claw some performance back. I ran that system for a couple of years until I built a legendary overclocked Celeron 300A @ 450MHz system, with a Riva TNT1 card.

I was there Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago!!!

by any chance if u can extract that Creative boot logo and share? That would be cool. Great video!

The Pentium 2 233 mhz MMX I had ran this game at a much more acceptable framerate. You should see if you can track that processor down.

What I dislike about the Voodoo is the biliniear filtering gives weird edges around 2D elements and the sky is broken.

geforce pcx version with two nv30 cores is better than geforce 6800 ultra

I managed to achieve an average of 92 FPS in 4K resolution with RT Ultra settings on an 11-year-old PC: th-cam.com/video/NOBOfeSEmjU/w-d-xo.html

Finally! The good stuff

chaotic good all day long! good ol ssi

Use Norton Commander :) Make your life easier :)

Nice video, just found an Asus M2N with this iGPU on the street 😉

NICE!!!

today tech is supposed to be less complicated

How many attempts to find the shortest route?

I played the MDK demo so many times I lost count. Good times.

except doom (can be fixed changing the soundfonts), the sb cleaned the floor with the sc-55 LOL

If you want a modern interpretation of this classic game try GRIP, it took me right back.

I spent hours of time on this game. the audio tracks on this game is crazy. MMX on my compaq presario and i still have the sidewinder joystick with the box $89.99 sticker on it.

10:00 Serius Sam. The problem with the 2x Antialiasing in with the Voodoo 4, which drops the FPS to unplayable is the fact that Voodoo 4 has only 32MB ram. Because of the 2x anti-aliasing the card has to keep 2 frame buffers only for anti aliassing (a frame buffer is 1024*768*4byte = 3MB, and we need at least 4 from them, because of the triple buffering, and a depth buffer. Total it makes 3*4=12MB. With anti aliasing we double the one buffer, which makes it 16MB. The textures are eating a lot of memory as well. To render a picture, always new textures needed depending where the player located. And that's why less memory means the textures has to be swapped more frequently from the system RAM. Because you are using a PCI version of the card, which has only 33MHz Speed on 32bit, you can make the math, how slow is the data transmission rate from CPU to Voodoo. The 2x AGP card, is 4 times faster as PCI.

It would be good to do a benchmark on it.. to compare with non accelerated version.

what resolution are you running it in?

My 1st PC was a DX2 66 from late 93, i upgraded it to 8MB in 1994 so that it could play the games you have mentioned.. love it.

You can remove the yellowing of it.. just google how to retro brite it.

In my view the sweet spot for Voodoo2 was around P3 600, it does scale up to P3 800 and anything after is a waste. When it came out the fastest P2 you could get (2 m after Voodoo2 came out) was P2 450. So if you are aiming at that 1998 period correct HW, stick to that.

Sell?

Ive been building something similar. Its an Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard with an intel core 2 duo e8600 (3.33ghz, air cooled with zerotherm nirvana), corsair 1600 ddr3 (8gb installed but as its xp home it only uses 4), gtx 780ti and a 650w corsair power supply. All these parts i got for free over time, except the 780ti, which was an ebay buy for £28 to replace the free 580 that it had. Not even stretching it's legs on Crysis 2, let alone anything else 😅

Vindo lá do RIRIS

I have a BH6 that I found at a dumpster, it works but the caps are bulgy

Ohh, hi tehere Sucra, couldn't help myself but watch your "old" video LOL. Just was looking for some nforce 430 IGP tests and how it compare to older cards under 98 (if it is even possible at all) and your video came very high on my search.

Português!

cut to me playing Unreal Tournament 3 at 320x240 resolution on this card

So unless you are running the original copy of pacific assault, the EA digital version is modded to support 16:9 and to support modern OS. I own the original, It is a direct X 8.1 title and runs on windows 98se. I can play it flawlessly on a athlon XP 3000 with a ati 9800 pro max settings at 1024 x 768 ( most common res of the time, were still in the transition from CRT to crappy early LCD TN panels. )

Tur4x can support up to 2gb of ram, what a legend.

9600 Pro the the first true gaming GPU i owned; picked it for my PC back in 2004 originally to play World of Warcraft but ended up getting sucked into other games instead. Had many hours of gaming on that thing. Still have the box, but the card is long gone. RIP my 9600 Pro.

Sexy ass

Is that a laminated screen?

If you would have turned off the sound, the 486 would have had the chance to manage the 3D graphics. But Unreal uses Tracker Music, wich alone would oversaturate the 486 in an instant. Even on standard quality wich is only 22Khz and ?16? voices. A very fast and optimized 486 can barely manage 4 to 8 voices with CD quality at 16Bit (Stereo vs. Mono) by itself without buffer underruns. If anything is going on additionally (Running Windows and such), the 486 will not be capable to hold its line. Sound in most cases was so hard on non MMX-CPUs that it would eat up all ressources. Unreal only works good on MMX CPUs, because with MMX instructions the music playback will only eat a fraction of CPU cycles.

It's all what you need for Windows 9x gaming.

I just looked for a Radeon 9800 XT and geez, the prices went up like crazy. 150$ for one in not great condition. Some years ago I bought 3 Radeon 9550 and one HD 4670 1GB and one Radeon 1950 Pro, all AGP, all for cheap. Now I see powerful AGP cards (I have two of them as you see) have crazy prices.

I need this exact build now, great mix of parts dude, some real nostalgic voodoo magic.

Nice build and what a generous gift from your stepfather! I'm hoping to obtain a Rendition card someday - I will be doing exactly the same as you, I think, by putting it in my 200MMX build, which currently uses SLI. You're right about the games from this period. I love the idea of having all the parts you own in as many PCs as you can build. Originally I just wanted one example from each generation e.g. 8086, 286, 386, etc. but when it gets to the 486 I think it's important to have a slow one and a fast one. The same is true of the Pentium, I think. It's a neverending task!

Fantastic machine, motherboard was stored properly so it worked without any issue it looks like brand new.

I have a asus P3V4X slot 1 motherboard and have a weird issue, right now I'm running a pentium3 500mhz 100mhz fsb and works great but when I swap in a pentium3 with a 133mhz fsb it doesn't wanna boot. The board totally supports it and I used to run a P3 1ghz with this same board but now it doesn't like it. Caps look good and is fine with 100mhz fsd, it's got me scratching my head.

Hey Sucra, I am happy to see you 🙂

I put my Pentium MMX 233Mhz in a super socket 7 motherboard. Runs at 300Mhz at 2.9v. 100% stable. Combined with nVidia Riva 128 and Voodoo 1 4Mb. It runs almost all DOS games and Windows games up until Unreal 1 / Halflife 1 (barely). I also have a Soundblaster 16 and Aureal Vortex 2 sound card in it.

Nice video SUCRA!
