STB Blackmagic 3D 12MB - Voodoo 2. But I think the Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro GeForce DDR was more memorable for me.

OG Titan. Currently on a 1080ti FTW3, soon to become backup to a 3080ti FTW3 :)

The Asus P3B-F is the best 440BX board, particularly the 2 ISA slot version. They've aged amazingly well and as we all know are rock solid. Honorable mentions of boards from the second half of the 90s include the Asus P5A (mentioned above, I prefer the B version) the Asus TUSL2 (great with the...

I sent you an email. I'm interested!

Still looking although I'm starting to believe there may not be any here!

Looking for this specific model. Thank you though. Still looking...

well, still looking...

still looking...

Hi I'm looking for the intel mobile 2860QM sandy bridge CPU. Thanks

I am actually a pretty big fan of the FX series. It's the last series to have full Windows 98 support for the venerable 45.23 driver version.

The online debate seems to go back and forth between theory and application. The theory says AMD has a leg up with this new API, but there is little way to test the theory at the moment. Personally, I would rather be a theoretician as I prefer to use logic to deduce what is true. Ultimately...

The gigabyte 390 is voltage locked? Is that still true?

This thread is awesome. It's like [H] from like 2000.

Hi, I'm looking for the Asus Maximus V motherboard. If you have one you'd like to sell, please send me a pm! Thanks

Why considering the correct price for licensed software should be zero dollars? I think it's a good thing.

BX was the best intel chipset ever. I still use my Asus P3B-F and CUBX.

Well I think most people wouldn't like a video card made by a company that didn't at least provide some code for drivers. So I agree there. That said, you don't start from scratch on drivers, it's an active collaborative community process. You might enjoy working on amdgpu (kernel) or mesa &...

That would actually be a great idea. All software should be free and open so that the community can help to improve it.

Radeon drivers are open source. If they suck it's our fault and our problem, not AMD's. This is a good thing, because it gives us control. Nobody is stopping you from contributing: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon/, http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/?s=idle

Hmm... elder scrolls series, fallout series are probably first on my list. My idea of a good game is like, valve (hl story, cs gameplay), gta (1,2, vice city, and V), NFS (the classics, but the 2010 one was fun), old school 3d MMOs (everquest, asheron's call), sega saturn shmups (radiant...

Does Mercury Research disclose conflicts of interest (i.e. subsidy from say nvidia)? Whenever I see random research groups I always think of the private research institutes funded by tobacco companies publishing papers on the benign nature of cigarettes.

Yeah, I mean I'm thinking of optimized very generally. I agree that if you are putting objects in memory and then not doing anything with them, or at least clearing them, then you are probably not being super efficient with resources. GTA V is a complex game however, so I imagine it's very...

I'm don't think that crashing is precisely the same thing as optimized. Stable implies not crashing.

All BIOS in 2015 are proprietary. You need a computer compatible with http://libreboot.org/ to have a free/open source bios that does not contain binary blobs.

Yeah exactly. I think we'll see a lot of well optimized games (i.e. run on enthusiast hardware) that make use of ram the way GTAV does in the coming year or two.

Using an old reference 290. It would be tempting to upgrade it, but I'm only 1080p (1200p) and it does 1100/1450 with no voltage or extra power.

You don't have to pay anything to not run a tablet OS on your desktop.

I accidentally did this the other day and am only now happy to see this!

It's actually quite smart on the part of the companies who are excellent at extracting money from people via DLC. Battlefield 4 was my last straw on buying into a game that uses a pay-to-play DLCs. I actually prefer BF3, but last I checked there are few servers for that too.

This is probably the most ridiculous thread outside of GM at the moment.

I consider it as a sport. Sport = competition utilizing physical and (not or) mental faculties. I would even go so far as to say any mental competition is a sport, as the mind is a tissue and a part of the physical body. Any competition that requires physical and mental endurance for example...

I only see 3 servers with greater than 40 people in them. I only have regular battlefield 4.

Bump, it's only $120!

Hi, For sale is my Sapphire Vapor-X 7970 Ghz Edition. It has a dual bios, one with the original 7970Ghz boost and the other with the Vapor-X 280X bios. It comes with box and accessories. It was never mined or overclocked and has performed flawlessly since I bought it. Fans are in great shape...

GTAV Seems to be an example of a game that was well ported and uses a lot of memory. If that keeps happening in the near future 3.5 really could be a stretch. Historically I'm gpu unbiased, but in 2015 I prefer the card with better open source driver support because it's right.

I agree those were the days. I also went from Conroe to Sandy straight (with some laptops in between). Back in the day, you would only upgrade when everyone was losing their minds over the (gaming) performance. The only landmark before that was the coppermine pentium-III (1Ghz). These...

You don't want nforce2 on windows 98/95. There are barely working drivers for 98. KT333 is a nice AXP chipset. If you're going to run windows 98/95 then get a pentium-III and don't look back. The best chipset for P-III was 440BX. Find someone with something like this: Pentium-III...

Something tells me you really want people to read what you wrote. Maybe a larger size= will work?

I think that's a great point and really highlights why card companies should be less hostile towards open source driver development. Let the community work on drivers too. If only one of these companies were supportive of open source drivers.

Well that's also a good point. If he took one look at the recent purchases thread in GM he would know not reference fox news in a negative light around here.
