Bad experience with a TNT2 M64 John? too bad i had this card and i totally loved it, i was able to play Half Life and Unreal Tournament maxed out! it gave me beautiful graphics and amazing FPS compared to the sh!tty SiS 620 IGP i had those days.
Yes. I had to use one temporarily (borrowed one from a local computer store) for a few weeks while I waited for a new Geforce 2 to arrive, as my Voodoo 4 4500 card refused to work properly in my (then) new motherboard. The M64 was a huge step down from the awesome Voodoo card and had crap IQ in comparison. The Geforce 2 kicked ass though!
You wanna f**king bet?! I'll pop it in sometime and get a screenshot to proove. ... If I can find it :3eyes:
I had a Vanta which was 16MB, so I would believe him that there was an 8MB version of the TNT2, considering the Vanta is built off the same chipset I believe.
Here is my second computer VGA ( S3 Virge 4MB ) / BS16 ( ISA ) and LAN. Its yyber fast computer with 80MB edoram 60ns. and SIS chipset
There's a quick way to end this 8MB / 16MB / 32MB / 64MB doubt of that card. Just post the specification of the memory chips (the numbers and letters on top of the memory) -I couldn't decipher them from the snapshot you took. From the snapshot, you have 2 memory chips. One on the left and the other on top of the GPU. Each memory chip should have 2 or 3 lines of sequence of numbers and letters (they should have both the same reference). Please post them here EXACTLY as they are printed (spaces and everything) and we'll try to interpret them. // FCLage
S3 Virge 3 - I think thats the first '3d' card i owned. Then a SIS 6326 - rubbish and then a Matrox Millenium G200 8MB - still in use Then a few Voodoos 2 TNTs Geforce 2/MX Geforce 4/MX Geforce Ti4200 (Still in use) and onwards...... but i owned plently of 2d cards before that - anyone remember #9 cards (Number9) or VESA slots (like ISA, but longer)
im new so i have no clue on how to attach a photo but my fav card was a BFG 7600GS OC 512mb AGP. man i miss that thing, i enjoyed it more than my 8800gt to be honest lol
Certainly remember VESA slots. Had a 386SX 16 with one, and a 486 board with one too. I actually have a 486 board (by Shuttle) which has 2 or 3 ISA slots, no VESA
The first card I remember having was the Diamond Monster 3D II... I think that's what it was... I am looking at this review at Guru and the box is the same.. Slick car there... I don't remember there being a game bundle though?
Some nice stuff in this thread, I miss the 3DFX Voodoo Banshee I used to have, that card was great, playing Tomb Raider Chronicles at 640x480/800x600 so smooth, great times
I used to love this card :roll: XFX Geforce 6800GT 256MB 'Doom 3 Edition' Sorry about the dual DVI :bash:
wow, I'm gonna contribute to this thread since it makes me remember all those marvelous times First off.... S3 Virge GX/2 4MB it was a pile of **** made games run slower Guillemot TNT2 16MB 166Mhz edition never worked in my PC Creative TNT2 32MB Best art box ever... SiS Xabre 200 64MB Biggest POS I've owned... slower than the mighty TNT2 GF2 MX400 64MB very good performance increase over the TNT2 Asus Geforce FX 5600 128MB Still working to this moment , but quickly replaced by... Leadtek A350 LX MyVIVO 128MB Ran fine here up too 108c around this time I collected a piece of gaming history.... which is Obsidian X-24, single PCI SLI sold it then for 280$ eVGA 6800GT 256MB, and a copper heatsink I won whyyyy did you die on meeeeeee..... then I got the 7800GT and finally the 8800GTX....
Used to have one of those, except I must've had a reference model, since it had no cooling and was full-size.
