Nice to see SHOGO and TA Kingdoms in the gameplay. Wasn't a fan of the 7000 back then, but glad to see it in one of your videos. If you do older CPU videos again, maybe try Total Annihilation with maxed units. Change the max cap to 1000 per team. It stresses older hardware, even though the game says it the requirements are 100Mhz, descent play was around 500Mhz+ for the stock game.

"Modern Athlon64" :D Great retro review as always. But I think that comparing it to Geforce 2 MX and Voodoo 5 5500 would have been nice. If you are looking for a decent, relatively demanding RTS from 2000, then I suggest Ground Control. Much better for benchmarks than Total Annihilation:Kingdoms - game from 1999 and not the most demaning RTS from that year. Dark Reign 2 could works as well.

The "grain" with 16-bit color is dithering. That's combining multiple available colors in a pattern to simulate an unavailable color overall. It avoids the severe banding you'd get if you simply assigned the closest available color instead. So another way to think of it is a way to blend colors together at a boundary.
@MadMac52 жыл бұрын
One other problem is that 16-bit dithering on ATI Rage (Rage Pro Turbo and Rage 128) and early Radeon products never worked properly. For some reason (probably to boost performance?) the cards would always dither in 15-bit colour, which led to even more obvious colour dithering artifacts! I'm not sure if it was fixed by the Radeon 8500; when I had one of those cards back in 2002 the games that looked the worst under those conditions (Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire comes to mind) ran too fast to be playable on the PC I had.
@Trunks0 Жыл бұрын
Interesting fact there though, Radeon's do not render in 16-bit colour as they didn't support it (so its all rendered internally @ 32-bit). So when you benchmark Radeons in 16-bit and then 32-bit, the performance is about the same.

Their earlier cards only supported 16-bit colour, and their later cards took a huge performance hit in 32-bit colour mode, so any games and engines developed for 3dfx's Glide API and ported to OpenGL or Direct3D typically wouldn't have a 32-bit colour option.

Downside will always be the price though - several Radeon VE could be bought for the cost of a single FX 5600XT at the moment (prices have over quadrupled since I bought mine).

I have a question about the optiplex 9010 smallest version, can I fit a Radeon r7 350x GPU in it?

You need to clock synced, core and memory. They need to have same clocks.

I do have a Radeon 7000 VE in my main Windows 98 PC, but mine is slightly different: it's PCB is smaller, it has VGA, S-video and Comp out (No DVI) and it actually has 64 MB of VRAM. And the performance is somewhat like with this one in the video. I didn't know about Anisotropic filtering though, I will need to look, if my drivers support that.

Yes your driver should support it, if not, upgrade to latest.

AMD Radeon 7000 64 mb is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP and maybe Windows 98/SE. It is also compatible with games like GTA 3 and Vice City, Metal Gear Solid 2, Elder Scrolls 3, WarCraft 3, Max Payne 1 and Mafia depending on your processor and depending on how much RAM you have.

Most of those games are gonna struggle at anything more than 640 x 480, GTA3 especially. It’s definitely suited for older games.

@@jonchapman6821 --- If you have a good computer (at least a high-end Pentium III processor or a 2.0 GHZ Pentium 4 or faster) and a good amount of RAM (at least 256 mb ram) plus the right operating system like Windows 2000, most of these games will work alright on 640 by 480 or on low settings using this graphic card. That said, I would recommend at least a Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 400 64 mb video ram card or better for most of these games especially for GTA 3, GTA Vice City, Elder Scrolls 3 and MGS2. I remember using a 750 MHz Pentium III processor with Windows 2000 and Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 400 64 mb video card and 256 mb RAM and a DVD drive and it could play GTA 3 on low settings and I could get 20 FPS. My computer surprisingly could even play GTA Vice City but barely on lowest settings (12-15 fps average) and that is because GTA Vice City has pretty good optimization compared to GTA 3. Rockstar Games usually screws up PC ports, but GTA Vice City and GTA 5 are the only good PC ports for GTA games. The rest are crap especially GTA 4 (GTA 4 was the worst PC port by Rockstar Games).

have you tested the ragetweaker that supports the R7000? there are features to activate 8bit-pal-tex and fog-table support. Don't remember if they worked.

Oh well, well. I has been disregarding 7000 and 7500Le and stuff like that. And it looks like a mistake! In their times those were the available options for most of the normal people. No one is hunting for them but I have saved some. The video has inspired me. I will give it a try in a period correct PC for "a gamer with no rich parents".. 😀

Currently i use the 9200 a member from Dosreloaded gave me for my GA-6BA P3 build. Already made the ATX-AGP current mod but in some games it still freezes. Could the 7000 series work better on my System?
