Just a note: We worked with similar cards in simulation back in the 2000's. You should turn off Hyper Threading on Single Core CPU's. The majority of drivers were not built with hyperthreading code (you had to build with intels compiler for this to work properly). Disabling Hyper-Threading usually gives a 1.5-3x perf boost on those machines.

I still have a rig with a AMD phenom 2x6. To be honest, it still runs quite a few good games with a gtx 1050. Still, the CPU is at least 10 years old.

[@cybertrophic]

Back in 2001, I had a dual Xeon workstation with a massive 4gb or rambus memory and a 144mb wildcat 4110. It cost somewhere in the region of £11k. Fast forward ten years and your average smartphone makes it look like an abacus... the real difference in “industrial” workstations was the move away from bulletproof custom hardware (a la SGI) to “cheap” disposable x86-based stuff. The fact we still don’t have single-*’age clustering since SGI died shows we haven’t actually progressed in a lot of areas.

[@SeanCC]

In '99 we started the switch to Xeons after they bought a bunch of SGI's ill fated attempt to cash in on the changing of the tide. Those weird SGI-NT systems. We basically called it a "bad deal on a monitor" because I think they ended up running the studio about $5K or so with display. They were a major performance upgrade from the Indigo 2s we had been using, but until the studio switched to Linux around 2002/2003 a lot of folks had both their old and new(ish) SGI on their desks. Made the place toasty. Those early days with bouncing between Quadros and FireGLs in Linux were bumpy though. Loads of problems with the drivers for years and we never again really saw an equal to the user experience with 3D you got with SGI. Clustering used to be a hot topic in the early days of OSX and OSX-Server. It was so easy school kids were doing it, and their solution allowed for much greater flexibility and even heterogenous hardware, as I recall. I wonder what happened.

"That's old enough to still use DVI" I was like, since when DVI is old?

There are plenty of 144mhz 1ms monitors with DVI. If you get a 3080gtx card, you have to update your monitor for NO REASON. Card manufacturers just want you to buy the same monitor with DP and HDMI.

[@darekmistrz4364]

I also had 7950GX2, mine died because of artifacts (it was so toasted that my bios was rainbow colors and letters in text mode boot screen were also rainbow colors) but just before warranty ended that I RMAed it and they didn't support that card anymore so I think I got 8600 GT as replacement? I remember I was pretty happy because new card was better than 7950GX2 but I still miss it to this day, it was a crazy card.

Evans & Sutherland made the graphics chips called TR3(Texture Mapping, Real-Time, Real-Visual, Rendering System...it was not a single chip but an entire board with multiple chips) for the Namco System 22 arcade board which ran Ridge Racer, Time Crisis 1, Cyber Commando, Tokyo Wars, Aqua Jet, Alpine Racer, Air Combat 22 and some other arcade games. The TR3 could do 240,000 textured mapped and Gourard shaded polygons every second in 1993 and all the games ran at 60FPS locked! Sadly, Namco went with PowerVR for their System 23 arcade board (Time Crisis 2) and the partnership with Evans & Sutherland ended.

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

@andrew342003 early 90s was a very strange time, the cold war had just ended so all the US Defense companies that made chips for military simulators needed to make money so they teamed up with Japanese game companies. General Electric started to talk with Sega but then they sold their chip division to Martin Marietta (Real3D) which teamed up with Sega for the Model 3 board.

"old enough to still use DVI" - a lot of GPUs still have DVI ports. What you meant is (probably) "DVI only"

[@naruto8170]

nah i think he meant that it was old enough to use a DVI-I output because that would’ve still worked with CRT monitors back then

[@GoldSrc_]

More like it has DVI-I which has analog output, unlike the modern DVI-D only.

[@cwill2127]

Yeah albeit an aging tech, digital is still pretty common, even on expensive cards ($420 2070 nonsuper).

[@m.wajihuddinkhan1857]

@@GoldSrc_ But the last cards to feature Dvi-i was the Nvidia's 900 series. P.S running a vga monitor I find this makes me sed rip eng

I could almost swear I knew a guy back then with one of these. He had an incredible (at the time) flight simulator set up with 3 displays and a freaking cockpit. I was amazed at the time.

[@thesteelrodent1796]

DVI is still a current standard btw. Still used for 1080p displays, which is also why the 1660 cards have DVI. "Old" in that context would be a card with S-video out, or even UHF out which was a thing on some cards in the 90s (and incidentially on CGA cards in the early 80s). My 8800 GT has dual DVI and S-video and I bought that in 2007 or 2008. It was just before HDMI took over

[@paradoxalll]

I do remember using a BFG 7950 GX2 in the past and it was an awsome card. The card was using this kind of sandwish where tow cards was stacked together.

[@Spike-vj5ss]

To get a proper FPS counter in the first Unreal Tournament, you need to type "timedemo 1" instead of "stat fps" in the console (Alternatively, Main Menu > Tools > TimeDemo Statistics). Typing "stat fps" in the console of UT99 just gives you those stats like at 12:26 at the bottom of the screen. This was changed in future releases of the game, so using "stat fps" will give you the framerate from UT2004 onward. Typing "timedemo 0" shows some stats taken between timedemo 1 and timedemo 0 in the console. I immediately thought UT would be good for Open GL testing when it was mentioned, so I was glad to see it :)

[@GodlikeIridium]

Amazing! I loved my 9800 pro overclocked to XT clocks. Was an amazing card.

I bought a Voodoo 5 5500 back in 2000 when it launched, it was only a couple of months before 3dfx was scooped up by Nvidia and all driver support was ended. Before that I had a Banshee. The earliest GPU I had was an ATI Mach 64 that bridged an ISA slot and VLB slot, that was mid 90's

This card looks like it was a brainstorm project on the actual card itself instead of on paper, which is cool in its own way. I remember seeing a card like this made me think it was out of this world. Very cool, too bad we didn't get more benchmarks and details out of it, but that's LTT today... I remember Linus being excited for unboxings, testing, results, comparisons and details, now days LTT just gives overviews and maybe a history lesson every now and then.

[@Emsyaz]

Linus just reached puberty and hes showing it off

[@jazmihamizan4987]

It's called thermodynamics equilibrium. Since Linus has taken in so much high tech that his complexity has increased to a point where a fatal entropy burst may have occurred, and the primitive outlook was the natural reaction to balance out the complexity. Also none of this is accurate, I've forgotten my thermodynamics already

[@luckydog7896]

ATI did release a consumer product with multiple GPUs in 1999 called the Rage Fury MAXX. It was a single AGP slot card with two Rage 128 Pro GPUs on board that performed alternate-frame rendering. Arguably just the distant ancestor to multiple card interlinks, but they were obviously working on getting GPUs talking to each other long before anyone uttered the term "CrossFire" in relation to graphics.

[@carebear1488]

As a teenager , I remember drooling over 3D Labs Glint GMX 2000 , and I used to have a graphic board ( what we had before GPU and T&L ) with a Permedia ( I had both Permedia 2 and Permedia 3 ) or Real Image Chips from Mitsubishi or even an SGI Octane 2. Never owned any , saw the Octane at a convention , but fairly unusual setup are always nice to see. You should have reviewed the Open GL performance in a CAD or a DCC app , it would have made more sense , something like Lightwave would have been good ... Anyway , thanks for this really weird and wonderful GPU's review ! :)
