Why there are two ESS Audio chip on the card? Does it mean it can do backward compatibility?

back in my days ... great Hardware long lasting and reliable

You have almost the same components like me but i opted for the fastest dual core E7500 and win XP32

I do seem to have the standard 6163 w/o extra features. Great board, I have recapped mine and it currently runs a 550MHz Katmai unti I can buy another slotket... the one I have resides in my ABIT BE6-II gaming build (Geforce 4 Ti4200, P3 1000EB, 768MB RAM, 120GB HDD, Aureal Vortex 2, RTL8169SC NIC as well as USB card, 98SE w/NUSB and a lot of Rloew's patches). My 2nd build is based on the very rare MS-6168 w/ V3 2000. It's more rare than standard boards as it came factory with 16MB SGRAM, not 8. I run a 650MHz P3 on it, 2x128MB SDR and a 13.7GB IBM Deskstar on it, also w/98SE. A few other builds I plan to do will feature the following boards: - ABIT KR7A - ABIT BX6 R2.0 - MSI MS-6195 (K7 Pro IR3) - DFI CS32-TC - DFI CS65-TC (both are Tualatin capable)

Cool !!!!😃🤝

Amazing build, good selection of parts 👍

Ωραίος. Την ιδια περίοδο πήρα το πρώτο μου PC. Πολύ ωραίο βίντεο, βγάλε κίαλλα!

это был брендовый пк? GeForce4 Ti4600 SDR lol

MGA-MYST has no BILINEAR Filter! Motoracer is D3D on Voodoo though. Texture-Glitches of JediKnight on MGA are due to wrong settings...read the info for setting the correct min-texture-size.

Amazing. How do you record the video output?

Being a Yamaha XG sound card, I understand that General MIDI of these cards only sounds in Windows but the driver also initializes the MPU-401 port in pure MS-DOS. Does General MIDI sound in pure MS-DOS outside of Windows, or does General MIDI only work in Windows? Thanks.

ATi "Rage IIC" i believe is the last card that supports the "Ati CIF" API .. One with proper memory speeds, might provide a few more drops of performance. Compared to ATi, 3dfx seems to have kind of cheated with their agresive MipMapping, in order to boast the FPS (most visually obvious in corridors and on long stone paths). Could be because of difference in resolution in this case; but I doubt it.

Thank god that TR1 have OpenLara and TR1X open source engine :P Or TRLE which is TR4 engine that uses DirectX

Talked through Dege to get it working on dgVoodoo2. Now for DDrawCompat -

This is now fixed thanks to the DGvoodoo dev.

the first time I finished it with Mystique 220 4 MB, the second with 3dfx. Beyond glides I think Matrox is fantastic with this title. ATI isn't bad either. S3 still has its charm but obviously takes a lot of effort. I also have the Rendition and PowerVR PCX2 and they are amazing. Congrats for the video. Well done👍

S3 was obviously the superior choice

It's a brilliant gaming hardware and there's plenty of games to keep you busy today with it. However I suggest you run Win 98 as you can play many more games that modern pcs cannot play without emu or a remaster

How do I get this to work on Windows 10?

Please share the solution to the problem, I can't get HD 3850 to work in Windows 7 and Vista

34 FPS in DOOM and not even in full screen? Very poor for a 486 DX4 100.

Try to run windows 11 on it

It is difficult to collect these parts in 2023 without spending a fortune. You can be very proud for doing this. Thanks for sharing Spyros! I think new AT power supplies are still produced in small numbers. Maybe you will find one someday.

Hi from a 4coredual owner :) keep doing this type of content!!, btw do you know if there's a possibility that sapphire HD 3850 agp can be updgraded to 1gb vram? I'm asking because the sapphire pcie one, despite the connector, is the same pcb, same brand of memory (qimonda in general), same power phases for vcore and vmem, same socket type for vram (BGA 136) and adequate operating voltage for them between 1.8-1.9v. AGP 512 mb have 64mb x8 modules, and 1gb 128mbx8 modules, model HYB18H1G321AF and this memory chip is present on many HD 3850 manufacturers, like club 3d, powercolor, asus and even on the most recent HD 4850 1gb pcie, would be fantastic achieve 1gb on 3850 agp with mem clocks above 1000mhz (the qimonda chip is capable of). Nowadays is very common to see vram upgrades like the rx570 4gb >8gb rx480, rtx 2060 even rtx 3070, the question is HD 3850 AGP why not?

I had a ATI AGP X1950GT 512GDDR3 and was thinking of getting the HD3850 but with AGP platform dying I sold my PC and jumped over to PCI and a 8800GT, man those were the days.

I literally almost had this exact build when I was 11.

I had this GPU with a 775i65G R3.0 and a Pentium Dual-Core E5800 running XP Pro SP3. Oddly enough, it was a bit sluggish when I played NFS: Most Wanted. Moreso than with the Geforce 6800. That build didn't last long though, since I ended up using the CPU and board for an overkill Win9x system with a Gefοrce 4 Ti 4600

A3D much better than EAX, good choice on the Vortex 2 !

mmm, i just tossed my p3 933ES into a dfi pa61, along with a gf4 mx440 (with a v3 2000 as a swap in for when i need glide), 368mb of ram (no idea where my 256 sticks ran off to), an 80gb drive, and an awe32. oh, and usb and network cards, but they're not particularly special. tossed a 600eb in a slightly older machine to use as a dosbox, and will build a 486 rig for even older dos gaming when i can find my old socket 3 board. the 933 is doing juuuust fine, i need to stick a few things back into the 600eb, and no luck yet on the s3 board. though i wish i could find my awe64 for the 933 rig. oh well, it'll happen when it happens.

I had that case! And a ti 4200.

Σχεδιάζω κάτι τέτοιο στα κοντά. Εν το μεταξύ έχω και εγώ ένα P3 με παθητική ψήκτρα που της κότσαρα έναν ανεμιστήρα πάνω.

I had the same case. Different color but the same

12:38 I never actually played Splinter Cell, at the time I thought it was too much sneaking, and upto that point I always hated the sneaking sections in video games, should I get it on GOG it's probably like a dollar fifty or so.

8:47 50 feet away from the machine gunners that somehow magically know where you are if you shoot the spotlights out, but not if you detonate high explosives and destroy a fortified gate....

8:07 too much NOOB TOOB.

5:54 BEST LINE EVAR.

my tft can't drive 85hz fixed :(

Отлично , like

My 98 machine is a GeForce 4 ti4200 on one of them trick socket 775 mobos with a core duo. Love the way it runs

Great camera quality for '99

I have an Athlon XP 3200+ build using an ATI FireGL X3 for a GPU and an Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 3.4 GHz build with an Nvidia 6800GT for a GPU. Both are great systems. The Intel build has better performance, but the Athlon XP is one of my favorite "retro" PCs to play. Nice job on this build!

did You use the built-in dummy windows mystique driver instead of installing the whole matrox pack? why?

My ultimate win98 gaming rig has the same specs except Aureal Vortex 2 mx300 soundcard and 120GB HDD

bah. Using a P200MMX as base machine. i'm seeing this too frequently in this retro reviews. This was not the typical machine that PC gamers had in 1997. Most of them were stuck using 486s and P60,75,90,100,120. Without a 3D card, 3D games were run at 320x200 with low frame rate on these machines. This created a muh greater thirst for a 3D card than some lucky gamer with a P200MMX where frame rate wasn't a problem on tomb raider and quake.

Great build! I remember the first time I saw those reflections in re-volt and was blown away 😅

I had that same case back when I had my Pentium 2, those old antec cases were stout

I spend 10 years of my life with WindowsXP, this video with high end geforce4 give me some flashback

haha the S3 Virge is the same exact thing as Playstation 1

Literally my PC back then. 😁😁
