+SerBallister a shader unit is not a mapping unit! A gtx1080 "only" has 160 mapping units. A shader unit is essentially a very small processor which can execute arbitrary shader code, while a shader map does nothing more then warp a texture so it can be mapped to a polygon.

A large factor in Unreal's poor performance here was that this graphics chip would force you into using the infamous Direct3D renderer without modifying the game. To give you an idea of its performance, on my personal retro machine; a Pentium III 866 MHz, and a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 on the 45.23 driver, I would fairly frequently get dips below 20 fps in hectic battles even if I set the resolution to 640x480--but I never tested with lower settings than max because I felt that I shouldn't _need_ to lower settings with my overkill hardware. Oddly resolution barely helps (or hurts) at all with that renderer. (I ended up using an unofficial opengl 3.0 renderer that was _waaay_ better). The game was built to use either the software renderer or the Glide renderer, but software would not really reflect as a benchmark on this chip's performance (even though it would probably run _better_ at low resolutions), and this chip can't use the Glide API so Direct3D was the logical choice here.

[@Ren-kei]

Licentious Howler 3dfx glide was amazing for it's time. We're still behind on Api's now it kills everyone's experiences :(

[@licentioushowler3400]

While Glide was rad and 3dfx pioneered so many concepts with it (among other things), I disagree about being behind; we live in a great time for APIs imo when you have an open-source API like Vulkan that is getting actually decent support, and can go toe-to-toe or sometimes perform outright _better_ than Microsoft's best low-level efforts. (And DX11 or Opengl are fine widely-supported fallbacks if you just need something that works for a simple project.)

[@honkhonkler7732]

I've actually done this, it's a pretty fun idea for a video. Not spoiling, but if you want an extreme bottleneck, the best AMD mobo with AGP slot is the Asus A8V Deluxe (supports Dual Athlon FX of socket 939) (loved by me and Phil from Phil's computer lab) or the Biostar K8M800 Micro AM2 (really shitty mobo, but to my knowledge, the only AGP mobo with AM2 CPU support and DDR2 RAM), good luck.

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

Janghan Hong the a8v deluxe is a terrible motherboard. I picked one up because it was one of the few left to support my orphaned Opteron 185, and all it did was corrupt the install within minutes of installing the accursed VIA chipset drivers.

They had SOME meager game capability, but anyone wanting to run really graphics-intensive stuff pretty much knew onboard graphics were not up to snuff, and you'd need an add-in board. When I built machines back in the 90s and early 2000s, boards with integrated graphics were the ticket to selling more-or-less modern computers at a competitive price (while still maintaining something of a profit margin) - and if the custy wanted game capability, an add-in card was the 'upgrade path' (along with a slightly better-spec CPU, some more memory, and a bump to a larger, faster hard drive).

[@mcrsit]

You should've tried C&C: Red Alert 2! That's a really heavy 2D game, since units are voxels and not sprites.

I have an ASRock P4i45GV, my grandfather gave me that board, still working fine with a Northwood Celeron 1.8GHz

[@MR_FIAT]

I remember having had something similar to this or maybe even the same chip, with a 1Ghz coppermine celeron. playing standard skulltag deathmatch (Doom2) was a disaster with plasmagun spam it would slow to a crawl. GTA2 and rayman 2 ran fine tho albeit on lower resolutions. and my mobo had no AGP slot so no addon cards. dark times. and the worst part? i had it till 2010.

[@nathanhamman418]

No PCI slots?

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

@@nathanhamman418 Probably dedicated onboard AGP video that can't be disabled. Those were the worst as you couldn't even add in an additional video card even if there was a PCI slot.

I am assembling a retro pc i got the motherboard, 866mhz p3 processor , 512 mb ram , psu for 3 $ at a local market its working . But my question is should i buy a ati rage xl , will it give me more gaming preformence on 90's games.

[@hoppstech]

iGPU or bust

[@michaelbradley7704]

I used a i740 and it was fantastic..... with a voodoo 2 add on. The world of 3D and gaming was very different then as most 3D games had a software mode so you didn't need a 3D card, give me a big trinitron CRT monitor with my setup and I was the most envied gamer in my suburb.

[@Scorpius165]

My first PC ever was a 300 MHz Celeron with this beast. I played Fallout 1 on it and it still struggled sometimes in firefights.

[@pc-broke8348]

I waited for video since so long

[@dbozan99]

If you're looking to build a P3 based Win98 system, an i815 mobo with an AGP port is usually a fair bit cheaper than a 440BX board. No ISA, Max 1G RAM, and no overclocking are the only drawbacks to i815 over 440BX, IMO.

[@MemeReviewer]

Got one of these in my Dell XPS 400, but with an ATI Radeon 128 X300. The desktop also doesn’t have integrated video.

[@MrFunCoil]

I used to have one of those with 4mb on board ram(it makes difference). It was ok for its time. Played so many games.

Love your videoed keep up the good work

Cheers man

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

I'd like to mention that the Intel i810 / i740 is a 3D graphics accelerator not a GPU. The nVIDIA Geforce 256 was the first GPU (Nvidia defined at the time as "a single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second").

[@pagb666]

I had to stick with that gpu for a few months back in the day... It wasn't all that terrible, I could play Quake3 and watch divx. DirectX5+ games wouldn't even load xD

[@SummonerArthur]

They were bad in the time but not sooooooo bad.

[@SeñorDossierOficial]

Summoner Arthur actually better than SiS 530 and SiS 620 igpus

[@Vlad-1986]

A bit like nowdays

[@laharl2k]

Señor Dossier [Retro reviews, Coleccionismo & más] Sis was crap but whats the difference when the drivers were crap anywyas? I couldnt run most of my games on mine (i915). They would crash, or have missing textures or glitches moat of the times. And even low end card from ati or nvidia would do laps on it.

[@scottrich976]

@@SeñorDossierOficial remember the SiS 6326 ? Savage 4 8mb. Awesome cheap cards.

When I quit building PC’s and got away from them when *( Sata hadn’t come out yet SSD’s weren’t even an idea yet probably, and a dual core cpu? what’s that my last PC was a 3.2ghz athlon 1 core 1 thread ddr2 ram )* they were nowhere near as complex as today, I’ve learned a lot over the last 8 months of having a new cutting edge PC 5900X/3080 Ti/32gb of 3600mhz ram

Can you do a video showing how much better the Matrox vga output is better than other cards of the period?

[@Kevin15673]

3:43 look at the posted time, nice.

[@eduardoavila646]

6:03 Wooow This pentium 3 with a 1999 onboard intel is way better than my 2010 atom with gma3150? Lol it couldnt run simcity 4 even at 800x600 it would lag really hard, and it had a 1.6ghz singlecore atom, 2gb ddr3 800mhz and the intel gma.

[@WESKERsgm]

Eduardo Avila heh... My asus eee pc 4g has gma 910 and 900MHz atom... And 4gb storage... And 2gb ddr2 ram!! (Cuz I can)... I put windows 7 on it just for lulz)) Actually that works! Tiny7 uses only 3gb of storage so it usable... But not for gaming, even at 2d it struggles... As audio player it's ok))

[@eduardoavila646]

Wisker My hp mini 110 3735dx had the official support for only w7 starter, but i got xp working and it was better than 7. But a real crap. It looses for amost any 90's machine even at youtube playback. Now i discovered that those 90's games i couldnt run or barelly open, a pentium 3 with a 1999 onboard vga performs better. Its sad, but i had to use it as my main pc for 5 years. These atoms sucks. They have a worse performance than some pentium 3 laptops from the late 90's or early 2000's, and probably a power consuption not so small. I know they arent meant for gaming, but even for daily tasks a old laptop outperforms them.

[@WESKERsgm]

Eduardo Avila my eee pc doesn't officially support win7 at all. I have to do serious digging to find all drivers cuz most of them on official site won't install on windows 7. Cuz Asus made them in custom packages and on win 7 it says "The PC doesn't meet minimum system requirements "... 5 years ago I can somehow use this netbook. It was acceptable for simulink task as well as word. So that was my travel netbook for studying while in train. It has windows xp home basic and even internet browsing was acceptable except playing video on youtube, it lags even in 144p. And it has only 512mb of ram back then. But thing has change right now it is unusable even with 2 gb of ram. Basic task like word is ok. But internet nowadays too hard for this small thing. And battery is totally dead so it can't work even 10 minutes. I don't know why this thing exist! It was made in 2008 and it was first netbook ever. I got this for free in 2012... Personally I'd never buy such abomination))

[@eduardoavila646]

Wisker Yeah, mine lagged alot in word 2010 (bundled with it). When on xp it was acceptable. Mine fryied after i tried to replace the atom n455, with the atom d525 dualcore. Now incredibly, without processor, and after 8 years the battery still works fine and it still turns 'kinda' on. Without the processor it doesnt give any video nor load the bios, but the usbs turn on and the fans also. So i removed the screen (with the structure of it and the bezels), the hdd, the ram, the fan, the heatsink and made it a powerbank with 3usbs. And i didnt had to do a single solder, just reuse the older board that refused to die completly, with its chassis and case.
