Rage Dawning ATI Rage 128 Pro Tech Demo

[@UrielX1212]

I had that card . Brings back good memories of mid 90s gaming.

For those wondering, the music is Cleo by Lauri Järvilehto from the album Twilight Cinema .

Thank you sir 😁

The reason of my presence here, thanks a lot !

[@topaxx101]

THANKS!

[@8skellerns]

That brings back memories upgrading from a S3 Virge 325 PCI to a AGP card! Days when a top of the range card didn't require a months salary to buy, and upgrading was a giant leap! Now we live in a sterilised service based computing era with streaming rather than raw hardware power.

[@MrSkyw4lker]

Smartphones killed everything on computers . . . and internet too, so many customs.

[@jevgenijobzigailov2376]

To be honest, current "free" CPU integrated graphics units give us much more - video decoding, basic 3D (remember myself playing Unreal Tournament 2004 1440*900 maxed out with Intel HD graphics from i5-560M CPU) and older gaming cards like 1070 still have their uses, 5+ years after introduction. During Rage128 era, new PC was useless after 2-3 years no matter how one upgraded it. And I would not call today computing sterilized, even internet browsing now is extremely toxic, impossible to use without AdBlock.

[@weltvonoben]

Man what a childhood memory. I still remember the music

[@LenweSaralonde]

This demo looked awesome back in the day on a 120 Hz CRT monitor because it ran around 120 FPS too.

[@MrSkyw4lker]

OMG ! i remember the day when i bought this GFX card in 1998 ! it was the best for games and i liked the demo animation lol, now this demo looks so POOR . . . thank you for this wonderful memory. 🤩

[@MisterMuffin_]

Wonderful textures for its time for sure.

[@jblasutavario9549]

this is the mostest epicest graphics tech demo in the universest! My Dell Dimension XPST 600r pentium III will never be beaten! ever!!!!

[@genecook3571]

Me and my good friend Ricky had this card in our system at the same time man i can remember us being blown away by this demo!

[@KantusKid]

My very first graphics card back in the late 90s while in high school. Bought at EB Games. Times were easier back then.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Looks better than the PS2's graphics, in 1998! :)

[@AndyMarsh]

Watched this so many times when I got my Rage Fury....

[@Adam-rt7lp]

This demo is better then most games today!

[@thongchat457]

This Tech Demo look cool as Dreamcast 3D visual quality.

[@juliusvalentinas]

I had this card too, it was epic and cheap unlike voodoo ii, but then I got that and it was worth the money.

[@corgiverse9550]

Dammit phil you fucking did it. I just ordered a pentium II box. Here's praying my old Rage128 pro still works.. it's the only card I have rn!

[@philscomputerlab]

Welcome to this cool hobby 😄

[@corgiverse9550]

@@philscomputerlab I've just been binging your vids in anticipation. I want to put this in a more modern PC case eventually but for now it's going in an Antec case from 2012ish.. I don't have anything truly vintage anyways. Can't wait to play some Windows 98 games

[@stevenbasnett881]

I still have my GA-5AX that I built with the rage fury and k6-3

[@antoniorsoftware]

You should have also shown the "educational" mode. It is kind of fascinating that this works on my new computer 20 years later after all Windows, GPU and CPU changes over the years.

[@mckluty8660]

Ah, the legendary ATI Rage Fury 32 MB TVout. For a very short time around easter 1999 she was the best graphiccard you could buy and i think she was the first 32 MB card two! She was better as a Nvidia Riva TNT or a Voodoo II Banshee both with 16 MB. But After easter 1999 the Nvidia Riva TNT2 Familiy and 3DFX Voodoo 3 Family published with much more power than the Rage Fury.

[@MaximumEfficiency]

did tv out work?

[@robertmosen6126]

Looks better than reality. Maybe one day i can afford a rig like that

[@pretzel1313]

Do you know if it would be possible to extract the model and textures of the Pharaoh robot from this tech demo? This was all rendered in real time as a demonstration of what the tech at the time could do, yes? I remember watching this several times on our computer as a child, and having the model and textures to play with and iterate on as an adult would be so cool!

[@philscomputerlab]

Not sure...

[@kunlesanders]

This reminds me of ReBoot (TV series), The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (Quest World style), and more.

[@mauriciochacon]

ati doing raytracing since 98

[@christopherlesage5995]

That was great! I haven't seen that demo in probably 15 years! I had a pentium 3 450 mhz with one of those cards but it was stolen right out of my home. :( I do still have a pentium 3 750 mhz with that card in my closet but don't really know what to do with it.

[@philscomputerlab]

That's it, bringing back the good old memories :)

[@mauriciochacon]

Btw this is no Rage128pro demo but rage128 regular.

wow my first computer had this card...

[@shmaded2763]

can you do an office tour

[@airmicrobe]

Techno music good

[@Saved_Sinner0085]

It's hilarious watching these old tech demos that were supposed to be mind-blowing cutting edge stuff back in the day. I can't decide whether my favorite part is when it pans out over the waterfall and drops to 12 FPS or when it renders itself and has awful texture pop in between texels from the lack of trilinear filtering. "Yo, Dawg, I heard you like ATI Rage 128 Pro's, so I had your ATI Rage 128 Pro render you an ATI Rage 128 Pro!"

[@philscomputerlab]

Yea it's funny seeing the card on the screen at the end.

[@warrax111]

at that time, anything, that ran hi-color, and 640x480, and was 3D, with some transparency, bi linear filtering, was considered cool and new. Many people didnt have any 3d accelerator at all, in that time, and few years before, noone saw such thing. So of course, for many people it was exciting. They were playing Prince of Persia and 16 color games few years ago, with PC speaker.

[@JawkneeJay]

I am still impressed by them

[@thewhyzer]

I didn't even remember ATI had D3D cards prior to Radeon!

[@theobserver4214]

I bet those water reflections are just an empty hole in the ground to show the skybox

[@alexandernorman5337]

They didn't have environmental mapping back then. But they had stencil buffers and so they faked it. You take one pass and render the normal environment (which has no reflections). Then you render the stencil part in the second pass and alpha blend the two together.

[@bobbywilliams-clay4153]

Does the ATI Graphics By Rage 128 supports 24 Bit Color

[@blakedmc1989RaveHD]

incredible graphics 4 it's time! now if most game demos had music diz awesome tho lol

[@H31MU7]

3:49 LOL i see what you did there ATi

[@pmosly1578]

yeah this is XTC :)

[@virgilquaid1638]

Hey Phil, I've come across an old boxed PowerColour X1950 Pro 512mb AGP under the stairs, I remember buying it but I don't think I've used it. Are they worth anything? It has your name on it if it's worth anything to you 👍

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes, that is a great card. Very powerful for AGP. However I already have one, I think it is a card from HIS.

[@riveracollazo]

Can we get a Blood GOG or Steam tweak guide please?

[@philscomputerlab]

Does that game use DOSBox? If it does, just watch some of my other DOSBox based Tweak Guides, and apply the same tweaks. They are always the same basically :)

Will it run Half life 1?

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes, my guess is at around 30 fps at 1024 x 768?

[@Wagoo]

I had an onboard Rage GPU around this time and it ran HL1 fine... except when you went underwater.. then it rendered everything opaque XD

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes and 1024 x 768 is quite high resolution. It runs better at 800 x 600 and on a CRT would have looked just as good.

[@theobserver4214]

Wagoo Could’ve been the GL_POLYBEND

[@hideouslyric6679]

I played half life with a variant of this card on a crappy pre built subsidized PeoplePC computer in 2000. looking back now, that computer was like insainley good for a $500 prepackaged computer that came with sighning a dailup internet contract.

[@alxerxes2241]

Oh my god!!! great job friend!!! nice channel!!! :D sorry my bad english!! rsrs :D i´m brazilian!

[@philscomputerlab]

Nice! Looking forward to the Olympics...

[@alxerxes2241]

+PhilsComputerLab 😉

[@690_5]

You use the Pata IDE to SATA hard drive adapter right? If not correct me please

[@philscomputerlab]

Not in this build, just a standard IDE hard drive.

[@690_5]

+PhilsComputerLab no when you use a SATA drive for the builds is what I meant. Sort of hard to explain but in an older build you never mentioned that you used a SATA to IDE adapter

[@philscomputerlab]

Oh, yes, I often use SATA to IDE adapters, yes.

[@martijnvanzanen4075]

Still go that card:)

[@modernandretrogaming]

Card showed on this demo is a little different than mine.

[@philscomputerlab]

Yea there are so many OEM versions. I don't have that model either, it looks pretty cool.

[@Lothairecliquennois]

+PhilsComputerLab Yes some OEM cards has lower clocks, lower thermal capabilities...

[@modernandretrogaming]

Mine have 90/90 clocks only and only 16 Mb of RAM, that`s propably IBM oem version, but ran good in much games, like even NFS 3-5, Tomb Raider 2-5 even with Celeron 433.

[@lukewardner4814]

do know about the ati rage fury maxx

[@philscomputerlab]

Of course!

[@lukewardner4814]

I LOVE and 3dfx and ATI AND NVIDIA

[@DarkLinkAD]

Should play Shogo Mobile Armor Division :) Monoloth FTW!

[@manuelink64]

or Blood!

[@philscomputerlab]

I'll have to check out that game. Never played it. I think I have the GOG version.

[@KennethKolano]

This requires a Rage card to run, since this was prior to the standardization that came with DirectX/OpenGL, right?

[@philscomputerlab]

I don't think it does, just standard Direct3D.

[@mauriciochacon]

ati demos were always open to run unlike the shit nvidia demos, i just ran this one on my amd 580 and 270x

[@Lothairecliquennois]

Does the ATI render this scene at real time?

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes, I captured the VGA output.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Reminds me of Dreamcast

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

thumbs up

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

Would you still have free umbs to set emm=ram config.nt in xp or emm386.exe expanded memory page frame set? if so that's an awesome dedicated video card some use umbs and destroy any chance of you getting that to work.

[@larryladeroute971]

This video needs an X-wing.

[@snikkers83]

An diese Ruckelorgie kann ich mich nicht erinnern. ;) Vielleicht ist das Demo aber auch nur schlecht gealtert. :/

[@philscomputerlab]

Das sollte in 60 fps laufen. Vielleicht hat es da was mit deinem Internet Browser? IE ist hier oft besser als Chrome.

[@snikkers83]

Andere Videos laufen ohne Probleme in 1080p @ 60fps ... :) Bei deinem CMR ATI Rage 128 Pro habe ich das selbe Phänomen. Nachtrag: Dein ATI Rage 128 Pro Retro Review läuft auch super flüssig.

[@philscomputerlab]

CMR ist zwar ein 60 FPS video, aber das Spiel rennt wesentlich langsamer, so um die 30. Dawn rennt mit V-sync und hat nur ein paar slow-downs. Auf 1024 x 768 schafft die 128 Pro die 60 FPS kaum mehr, deswegen hab ich 800 x 600 verwendet.

[@lexingtRick]

Stuttering at the first dam, odd. AMD owns ATi, DAM anagram AMD.
