Re: Dead DVI Port on FX5950

If I fried this card 5 years ago, I probably wouldn't be too concerned. I've just recently realized how difficult it is and how expensive it is these days to find parts for these old PC's. Although I'm starting to consider dropping back to the Voodoo3 and switching over to Glide. The performance …

Re: Dead DVI Port on FX5950

Can you post pictures of your card, specifically the area between GPU and the ports? A picture looking into the port may be also helpful. Have you tried a different DVI cable btw? ... now would you believe that the cable on the back of the monitor wasn't screwed it and was just loose...? Haha... no …

Dead DVI Port on FX5950

I think I got a short in my system somewhere when I booted it up yesterday. At first the screen was full of artifacts but it was booting, I tested a new card, then put it back and it wasn't recognized by the monitor. I tried the VGA port and it runs fine, than I ran a 3DMark 01 loop and there was no …

Re: Far Cry poor performance WinXP SP3

I recently played the entire Far Cry series, and FC1 ran like crap on a brand new build, using the Steam version. The reason is that it does not like multi-threaded CPU's, that old Cryengine (Can it run Crysis?) is really dependent on single thread performance, it came out at a bad time (when …

Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

My rig is weird, it's not era specific. I kept my IBM Aptiva Pentium III system I originally had for Glide (in the 2000's) and 98SE was still somewhat usable. PIII 500, 256MB, TNT2 & Voodoo 3 3500 I could swap between(I couldn't get anything else to work, very disappointed as kid, realized a decade …

Re: SB0160 Sound Blaster Audigy

So the CT4830 installs, but the game port doesn't work. Trying a format again. That didn't work. If I format with any of the SB Live! cards in a PCI slot, I get a "ATTENTION: A serious disk error has occured while writing to drive C: retry [r]" error. With the 0160, I didn't get that error Using an …

Re: SB0160 Sound Blaster Audigy

Found the same problem: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=56997 My guess is that Joystick port is managed digitally? If you connect it, it only detects a single device, the other SoundCard I have (which is defective) detects 3. It sucks I can't just use it as a card with EAX, what's weird is …
