I still feel the Amiga was a better PC in the early 90s due to costing much less and still having good game support, although once Doom was out it was clear where the future was (DOS/Windows PC) and sometime in the mid 90s you could get a pretty good PC with some 486 DX4 or Pentium. Early 90s PC gaming was still too much hassle imo, due to hardware becoming obsolete so fast (you could buy a 386 SX in 1992 and Doom already made it obsolete in 1993).

@soylentgreenb5 жыл бұрын
Graphics card and zooming out. If you see a smaller picture the framerate looks/feels a bit better. Most of what doom did was copying things to graphics memory. Having a good graphics card that could come close to saturating the 16-bit ISA bus was essential; there is no computer so slow a bad graphics card cannot slow it down further. On the CPU side of things memory wait states mattered and enormous amount; reducing the wait states could get you like 30% extra performance in some games. Memory bandwidth mattered enormously; 386SX had half the memory bandwidth of 386DX to make the motherboard cheaper (same as 8086 vs 8088). Cache mattered. Some late 386 motherboards had L1 cache on the motherboard and it made about a 10-20% difference. Making the cache larger didn't matter much at all; just having some cache made a decent difference; doesn't matter if its 64 kB or 256 kB, just having that little bit of cache was the big thing. There are 486-like chips that work in a 386 motherboard; they are faster but don't have "real" 486 performance; mainly it's a difference in internal CPU cache (none vs like 1 kB).
@Dxceor24865 жыл бұрын
@@soylentgreenb well actually I noticed something rather strange between 386SX and DX, or at least on mine : 386DXs seem to half their bandwidth somewhere to the RAM (like if RAM was running at 20MHz on a 40MHz 386). Meanwhile, SX seem to run RAM at faster/full speed. My 386SX 25 can pretty much outperform a cacheless 386DX 25 because of that. My memory speed is comparable to the memory speed of a DX25, if not greater on some slow ones. However, you may have noticed I mentionned "cacheless 386DX" because it seems that cache talks to the CPU at full speed at least, thus increasing vastly the performance. On my 386SX, cache wouldn't matter since the memory bandwidth is pretty much maxed out ...
