GeForce 6600 Retro Review...not impressed!
As much as I dislike rap and "gasta" culture, I believe San Andreas to be the second best GTA, after Vice City.
I had 9600 pro and my friend had 6600 gt, i was so jealous that he was able to play F.E.A.R in highest settings xD performance difference was huge. This game was sick, btw my cpu was athlon 2000+ xp and i had 768MB of ram
Today I personally like more LCD than CRT for using with Retro PC.
Mate I just restarted this on Friday night. Cannot believe how relevant things are still today. Still a great game! Cannot believe it was released 20 years ago!
amazing content man, I have got so much nostalgia, keep it going, thanks)
Yes
I'd say it's worth it as long as you apply the SilentPatch fix, which is absolutely essential on PC - it fixes a mind-blowing amount of bugs and features that were either always broken, or were broken after porting the game from PS2 to PC. Even one of the main developers of GTA:SA (Obbe Vermeij) has endorsed using it on his Twitter, for getting the truly "definitive" experience.
I don’t think you should use the 32-bit color mode on this card. Plus, can you really see a significant difference in color? It’s better higher resolution, but 16-bit color.
Yes it was.
Yeeeeeeeeees
Enjoyed the video! I'm interested in getting a Radeon 9600XT for a win98 build, do you know if this is possible or am I in for a headache?
mate I think d2 looks like that, because your v2 has only 8mb, and afaik it needs the 12mb version. if somebody knows better, please correct me!
You should have told something about the infamous flying school. I couldn't beat it many years ago and so the game 😥. I thought about buying gamepad especially for this game, but I finally didn't. And I also remember the (maybe second infamous?) "all you had to do was to follow the (...) train, CJ", but I finally passed it.
The music in the 3rd part is pretty good, what is it?
Windows 98 like the fast food you cannot withstand? Amazing metaphor, and true 😂 I just installed one of the fastest pcie GPUs under win98, xp and 10 😉
That's a nice collection there.. So fun to tinker with old cards! My favorite at home is probably my Radeon 9550 256mb agp... Old card with bios overclock, half a P2 cooler on for extra efficiency, does Doom 3 on 720p with ease 😁❤
CRTs is like new OLED instant pixel response
Nvidia 900 series is the newest gpu. I had a 980Ti and an i5 2500k with 8GB of 1866 DDR3 😂 I made it pre pandemic and it's still in storage. The XP is the perfect sweet spot. I ended up using a 750ti and going with a smaller PSU. A 980ti will run elden ring lol
was my first playstation 2 game import and my first playstation 2 game ever! in fact, it was my only reason, to dive in the PS2 waters - and boy, would I have missed out! thank you SA for opening the playstation 2 world for me! gaming since 1989, oh baby. that was a hell of a ride!
It's worth trying the GTA San Andreas gamesave editor :)
Great game, best GTA till now, but the Performance isn't well, its stuttering a lot in some places
Yes, worth playing the original. I feel for those that have only the new trilogy.
Thank you 😊
First and I’m currently playing crisis 1 on intel hd 4000 for that 2009 feel 1024x768 40fps even though I have rtx 4080
I bought a Rage Fury in 1999 when I upped from my garbage Trident 3dimage 9850. Going from 4mb of vram to 32mb was great. My mind was blown.
I still have q6600 on budget mobo that cannot be overclock but I've done it to 3.0ghz by bsel mod
loveley lg monitor we had few of those but my retard parents threw em away
im thinking to build a xp gaming pc with a nvidia gt210 its kinda shit but for most retro games it should be fine
YAWHOOOOOO!
I am watching this indeed not for the real world but only for the theoretical comparison. No more gpu bottleneck please.
You know what...all future comparisons will have a period correct component, to see "how it was back then", and a way overpowered component, to see the maximum difference.
Like DRDOS was Digital Research and not Doctor DOS, but i still called it Doctor DOS. I like to live dangerously like that!
:))) Also, anything "doctor" sounds way better!
Greetings, Is that S2100 or S2133?
S2100
@ Got it. I have both, but in black. May I ask you, when was it manufactured? It should say in the back of it.
I played it on a p3 400mhz with gf4 mx 440
Wow, hats off to you my friend :)
Nah don't get it wrong. I had the Geforce 6800 from MSI back in the day. I bought the MSI because she was on top of all the charts with performance. Back than MSI was King. I bought the 6800 because you could unlock it from 12 lanes to 16 and basically turn it into the much more expensive 6800 GT/Ultra. It's like buying a 4070 today and unlock it via Software to turn it into a 4090. Great Card.
It's insane to see the generational uplifts these card used to have
Man I love the video! I'd say that my favourite cards are GTX 8600GT and 9800GT. Used to have both of them and I remember how excited I was when I got them :D
It's a really cool idea to show the Romanian people with retro computers, I believe that all countries should do something like this, our community is very large with many small individuals, but with enormous importance. 👑
I definitely hate the noise of fans, I always built my setups thinking about the silence it can provide, and I must say that I loved your silent collection of Windows XP. 👑
I could never leave a brand new 6600 in a sealed box, I was sure I would put it to run some games...ahahhaahaha 👑
Nice! In My case, there isn't much to find from the retro world, but for some reason I really like PCI cards 🤣
What are your top video cards? :)
GT710. And maybe, when we talk about the older ones- FX 5800 Ultra 💩💩💩
Mmm, the ones I like the most to use, 8800GT, GeForce 2MX, Voodoo 3 PCI, 315E PCI, TNT2 64 PCI and AGP, Quadro K620, Radeon HD 5850, Arc 770LE, GTX 970, Radeon 9250 128bit, and yes... for some reason old Trident cards 🤣
My favorite cards are the ones I had back in the days, for nostalgia reasons. Voodoo 1, Voodoo Banshee, TNT2 Pro, GeForce 2MX, 4 TI, Radeon 9500 Pro, HD3850, HD7770. But same as you I like almost every vintage video card :) Today I also happy about rare cards in my collection - STB Kyro 1 & 2, Matrox Parhelia, GeForce 256, Number Nine S3 Savage 4 Extreme, Intel 740, ATI 9500 Pro ...
My top 5 are 1. The diamond edge 3d nv1 card 2. Creative Labs 3d blaster pci rendition verite, 3. Diamond monster 3d voodoo 1, 4. Diamond monster 3d 2 voodoo 2, 5. Matrox m3d pcx2 powervr card
I'm tempted to say my own top-10 : 1) *nVIDIA Riva TNT2 Ultra* ,my own 1st graphics card ever 1999 (*and since MidnightGeek mention the Voodoo2 as his 1st choice ,let me quote the closing words about TNT2 Ultra review in my favourite magazine back then : " *The new King is here and doesn't intend to lose his sceptre* " !! .Those words were enough for me to forget about buying a Voodoo and go for the TNT2 Ultra and all the way nVIDIA since then !!) 2)GeForce GTX560 Ti 2GB 3)GeForce GTX580 3GB 4)GeForce GTX460 768MB 5)GeForce 7600GT 6)GeForce 6600GT 7)GeForce RTX2060 8)GeForce RTX3060Ti 9)GeForce GTX1080 10)GeForce GTX970
La cagada del tdu es que arriba de 60fps tiene un bug, las patrullas se hacen invisibles, y el juego creo que no tiene vsync
It's not working after you dropped it when taking it out of the package? SHAME! ON YOU! SHAME! SHAME! 👉
There is one benchmark that the Athlon 64 will win every time: running a 64 bit OS and 64bit code.
I`m using 9600 XT 256MB HIS version to be exact and it really is the best card i`ve tried so far for my Tualatin 1.4 Pentium 3 retro gaming project. I must say i`m amazed how it works with omega drivers. Of course the CPU bottleneck the card a lot, but still speed of the card really helps along with lots of options unabled to customize the games like no other previous model i`ve tried so far. Asus ATI 9250 256mb that i used previously was not bad, but it cant pull highes resolutions well. With 9600 XT i can play Wizardry 8 (one of my favorite games of all times) on literally 1920x1080 on big 40inch TV screen and look marvelous and works with 30fps in battle combats.
It's 2024 and I needed a cheap Universal AGP card, and I bought one of these for £8.99 including postage. I hope I haven't spent too much.
