Introduction Let me invite you to review a series of graphics cards that is often overlooked. There are too many variants of similarly named cards, (many of which are painfully slow), too many stories of terrible drivers and image quality issues, and an absolutely absurd number of model names that… Continue reading
This system comes to use when it fits the hardware being tested and represents a top-end 3D retrogaming PC for all graphics cards up to DX7 level. Hardware: EPoX 8KTA3 (VIA KT133A) AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400C (10,5×133) Infineon 256MB PC133 CL2 2-2-5 Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X 20GB Creative Soundblaster 128… Continue reading
This system comes to use when it fits the hardware being tested and represents (in its “default” configuration) a capable 3D retrogaming PC, without being top tier. It doesn’t bottleneck most DX6.1 GPUs (as long as the resolution ist 1024×768 or higher) and is also still suitable for DX7 graphics… Continue reading
This system comes to use when it fits the hardware being tested and represents the lower end of a 3D retrogaming PC. It is fast enough for early 3D titles, but is also very useful for exhibiting CPU bottlenecks when compared to faster systems with the same graphics card. The… Continue reading
Introduction This post will be continously updated, as all graphics cards that I’ll write about _and_ fit the criteria for this suite, will undergo the tests of my RHR DX6+ suite and will be included in the charts. If you are interested in further information on the suite, I invite… Continue reading
This system is solely used for the global benchmark comparisons on this site. It has enough CPU performance for the fastest DX8(.1) cards out there and its VIA KT333 chipset ensures compatibility to older graphics cards, that can only handle 3,3V AGP. Hardware: EPoX 8KTA3+ (VIA KT333) AMD Athlon XP-m… Continue reading
