We've received several requests to release the driver package we used in this video, and we've received permission to do so from Layne and Collins Aerospace. As far as we know, this is the only driver now online. archive.org/details/es_simfusion_software

Hey, with any luck, someone might be able to update that driver package and get it back to you with the ability to handle d3d properly. Assuming that's ok with the original owners, of course.
Just a note: We worked with similar cards in simulation back in the 2000's. You should turn off Hyper Threading on Single Core CPU's. The majority of drivers were not built with hyperthreading code (you had to build with intels compiler for this to work properly). Disabling Hyper-Threading usually gives a 1.5-3x perf boost on those machines.
During the same time, CAE (a flight simulator compagny) create the Raster 2.0. It was a system bridging together 4 video cards and 1 calligraphic card. On each video card, there was 4 GPU on it (ATI 9600 if I remember). Since the calligraphic card contain only 1 GPU, it's makes a total of 17 GPU working together. The output was 1 DVI port.
"I actually had to re-cap the board" Aaaaaaaaahhhhh Anthony! Always going the extra mile, just so we can have something on in the background, while eating french fries ^^
@iTheGeek Even after seeing the price he could have got it for, I'd still be pretty irrationally careful around something I paid that much for. Besides, it's still a pretty cool piece of gpu history and damaging one will make others rise in price.
Anthony, causally: " I actually had to recap the board before it would work" Linus seconds later: "Don't over think it. Lets just throw the card in here!" (jostles valuable antique hardware into place) Anthony is a saint
Back in 2001, I had a dual Xeon workstation with a massive 4gb or rambus memory and a 144mb wildcat 4110. It cost somewhere in the region of £11k. Fast forward ten years and your average smartphone makes it look like an abacus... the real difference in “industrial” workstations was the move away from bulletproof custom hardware (a la SGI) to “cheap” disposable x86-based stuff. The fact we still don’t have single-*’age clustering since SGI died shows we haven’t actually progressed in a lot of areas.
In '99 we started the switch to Xeons after they bought a bunch of SGI's ill fated attempt to cash in on the changing of the tide. Those weird SGI-NT systems. We basically called it a "bad deal on a monitor" because I think they ended up running the studio about $5K or so with display. They were a major performance upgrade from the Indigo 2s we had been using, but until the studio switched to Linux around 2002/2003 a lot of folks had both their old and new(ish) SGI on their desks. Made the place toasty. Those early days with bouncing between Quadros and FireGLs in Linux were bumpy though. Loads of problems with the drivers for years and we never again really saw an equal to the user experience with 3D you got with SGI. Clustering used to be a hot topic in the early days of OSX and OSX-Server. It was so easy school kids were doing it, and their solution allowed for much greater flexibility and even heterogenous hardware, as I recall. I wonder what happened.
Here's a weird thing: My monitor only supports its maximum resolution via DVI and DisplayPort, but not HDMI, since HDMI was actually lagging behind regarding support of resolutions above 1080p for a while. With a PC, this is fine (just use DP), but with my Xbox One, I had to experiment with various HDMI to DVI adapters until I was able to properly use the system.
Really reminds me of when I had 2 7950GX2's in SLI. Effectively running 4 GPUs. The funny thing is, when the 8800 GTX came out, that single card eclipsed that setup.
I also had 7950GX2, mine died because of artifacts (it was so toasted that my bios was rainbow colors and letters in text mode boot screen were also rainbow colors) but just before warranty ended that I RMAed it and they didn't support that card anymore so I think I got 8600 GT as replacement? I remember I was pretty happy because new card was better than 7950GX2 but I still miss it to this day, it was a crazy card.
I could almost swear I knew a guy back then with one of these. He had an incredible (at the time) flight simulator set up with 3 displays and a freaking cockpit. I was amazed at the time.
Or the 2021 Pentium i27 still manufactured on a 12nm process but it's better because of rapidly wearing thin Intel marketing, because size matter, right guys?

I bought a Voodoo 5 5500 back in 2000 when it launched, it was only a couple of months before 3dfx was scooped up by Nvidia and all driver support was ended. Before that I had a Banshee. The earliest GPU I had was an ATI Mach 64 that bridged an ISA slot and VLB slot, that was mid 90's
Ah, my and my buddy built a double Voodoo 2 system before the milenium! Thx for the memories! Still remember playing X-Wing vs Tie on it. Good old days.

Evans & Sutherland made the graphics chips called TR3(Texture Mapping, Real-Time, Real-Visual, Rendering System...it was not a single chip but an entire board with multiple chips) for the Namco System 22 arcade board which ran Ridge Racer, Time Crisis 1, Cyber Commando, Tokyo Wars, Aqua Jet, Alpine Racer, Air Combat 22 and some other arcade games. The TR3 could do 240,000 textured mapped and Gourard shaded polygons every second in 1993 and all the games ran at 60FPS locked! Sadly, Namco went with PowerVR for their System 23 arcade board (Time Crisis 2) and the partnership with Evans & Sutherland ended.
@ early 90s was a very strange time, the cold war had just ended so all the US Defense companies that made chips for military simulators needed to make money so they teamed up with Japanese game companies. General Electric started to talk with Sega but then they sold their chip division to Martin Marietta (Real3D) which teamed up with Sega for the Model 3 board. Evans and Sutherland teamed up with Namco. Good times
ATI did release a consumer product with multiple GPUs in 1999 called the Rage Fury MAXX. It was a single AGP slot card with two Rage 128 Pro GPUs on board that performed alternate-frame rendering. Arguably just the distant ancestor to multiple card interlinks, but they were obviously working on getting GPUs talking to each other long before anyone uttered the term "CrossFire" in relation to graphics.
Brings back memories of my 3DFX SLI setup from 1999. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace never looked so good! I was also using a 17" NOKIA CRT that was Neon Pink. Would have been perfect for Linus!
Can't wait for the 10 year-old computer video.

See, that's a properly interesting build. 10 years back is just Nehalem and Sandy Bridge, which are still remarkably serviceable and have little difference in build from a modern PC. Just slower and no M.2/nVME.
@@yo5942 my hp radeon 4650 has only dvi-i and 2 displayport (it was a business computer OEM part) and I am running a VGA monitor on it though dvi. Though Would have preferred its original 2 dvi-i and 1 s-video, could have run a dual VGA monitor setup and also run my TV.
Amazing! The oldest video card in my possession is one Micro-Tecnology Unlimited K1008-11 from 1981. It was needed for high resolution on Commodore PET and for KIM-1!
It's called thermodynamics equilibrium. Since Linus has taken in so much high tech that his complexity has increased to a point where a fatal entropy burst may have occurred, and the primitive outlook was the natural reaction to balance out the complexity. Also none of this is accurate, I've forgotten my thermodynamics already
To get a proper FPS counter in the first Unreal Tournament, you need to type "timedemo 1" instead of "stat fps" in the console (Alternatively, Main Menu > Tools > TimeDemo Statistics). Typing "stat fps" in the console of UT99 just gives you those stats like at 12:26 at the bottom of the screen. This was changed in future releases of the game, so using "stat fps" will give you the framerate from UT2004 onward. Typing "timedemo 0" shows some stats taken between timedemo 1 and timedemo 0 in the console. I immediately thought UT would be good for Open GL testing when it was mentioned, so I was glad to see it :)
I became a NVIDIA fanboy after my ATI Radeon had crapped out on my for the final time. Got my first NVIDIA card and it was a FX 5300 and it was rock solid. Now have a 1650 super

@@fightingfalconfan I gave ATI another chance with the very first Radeon released. I was playing Alice at 1600x1200 on my 21" Trinitron and it "popped", all the video went corrupt. Exchanged it on warranty, then traded it for my first nVidia card, with the thought process "they bought 3dfX so they're bound to be good right?" I was right and haven't looked back. Sadly I'm an AMD CPU fan, and was back then. I admit that an APU is a good way to go for a cheap gaming rig, but I still like my AMD/nVidia rigs.
This card looks like it was a brainstorm project on the actual card itself instead of on paper, which is cool in its own way. I remember seeing a card like this made me think it was out of this world. Very cool, too bad we didn't get more benchmarks and details out of it, but that's LTT today... I remember Linus being excited for unboxings, testing, results, comparisons and details, now days LTT just gives overviews and maybe a history lesson every now and then.
I was building ACAD workstations back then and we used E&S Accelgraphics Eclipse II. Of Course I had to install one in my game computer and was playing UT99 on 1024x768 in openGL. Good times :)
When Linus was playing Unreal Tournament and he mentioned OpenGL I had this idea - what would gaming on Linux look like with this machine? Theoretically wine translates not only Windows calls to Linux calls but also translates D3D calls to OpenGL calls so in my theory it will eliminate the problem with graphical artifacts.
@@Somethingafw In one of the product pages, they mentioned supporting red hat linux. Considering it ran on servers, linux support was likely to be well supported.
DVI is still a current standard btw. Still used for 1080p displays, which is also why the 1660 cards have DVI. "Old" in that context would be a card with S-video out, or even UHF out which was a thing on some cards in the 90s (and incidentially on CGA cards in the early 80s). My 8800 GT has dual DVI and S-video and I bought that in 2007 or 2008. It was just before HDMI took over
I worked on launching the simusphere for L3 link simulation and training using about 48 networked parallel processed Nvidia TI 4600s from 2002 to 2007. We collaborated with E&S on a 20Mpixel laser projector as well. Great group of people. My team basically ran silicon graphics out of the defense business, while they were busy losing their butts adopting itanium 64bit CPUs of course.

DVI-I was introduced in 1999. It's old as fuck in computer years.
@@no_tread_ or it's just an objectively better cable that is cleaner, easier to make, carries audio and can do 4k and higher resolutions at high refresh rates and has been the dominate cable for the past ten years
Stop spreading stupid, lame conspiracy theories that have no base in fact.
@@CarlSlime Sooo, tou missed the joke completely? It's pretty obvious that it's old. I pointed it out to joke about me being old, and that in my mind DVI is still pretty fresh (despite none od pcs in our home still using it)

Nice save, Linus...
2004 sounds too recent!
Have you guys ever managed to get your hands on the "SLI" 4-bay 4-Card PCI interface Pin-Linked Voodoo 2?
tf is this?
Voodoo series first multi card in Europa. Back in 1996
I bought a Voodoo 5 5500 back in 2000 when it launched, it was only a couple of months before 3dfx was scooped up by Nvidia and all driver support was ended. Before that I had a Banshee. The earliest GPU I had was an ATI Mach 64 that bridged an ISA slot and VLB slot, that was mid 90's
Ah, my and my buddy built a double Voodoo 2 system before the milenium! Thx for the memories! Still remember playing X-Wing vs Tie on it. Good old days.
I still have a voodoo card, it was my best memory
"Here we have a 4xGPU AGP/PCI card tuned for OpenGL software... Let's fire up a bunch of D3D software and ONE OpenGL game!"
@rogerwilco99 like when he comnpared the price of the graphics card to the price of a old server at the end then says we grossly overpayed lmao those are two diff items you cant compare them lmao
"old enough to use DVI"...am surprised it's new enough to *have* DVI
Same thing I was thinking until Linus burst the bubble
I am watching this video on a DVI monitor right now...
I remember my first motherboard with an AGP slot. Athlon XP 1600+ with a Radeon 8500. That felt like such a monstrous upgrade from my K6-2 533mhz. First time I ever experienced buttery smooth framerate on a 3d game. With my 100hz Sony Trinitron CRT monitor. The best days.
Just my story bro, but i upgraded from k6-2-266@300mhz
Same back in 2008 I went from a 900mhz Duron with 224mb of ram to a Socket 478 Pentium 4 @ 2.4ghz and a Geforce MX440
Watching Linus fling rare hardware around while he's emoting with his hands makes me so very anxious.
Damn Linus made happy the fella that sold this GPU, I can imagine him waiting for the new cards soon with his cash ready.
I love these old pieces of weird tech, especially in the enterprise field ever so often you find out about these sorts of quirky hardware that just dazzles you

Don't think it's possible with og PS4 (have to dissasemble rather than just removing top cover and PSU + Metal plate) but yeah, definitely worth it. Mine also sounded like a jet engine under use. Dunno about PS4 Pro..
Actually I cleaned my PS3 super slim last night, wasn't noisy but it was definitely in need of some TLC and hopefully temps are a bit lower now.
Evans & Sutherland made the graphics chips called TR3(Texture Mapping, Real-Time, Real-Visual, Rendering System...it was not a single chip but an entire board with multiple chips) for the Namco System 22 arcade board which ran Ridge Racer, Time Crisis 1, Cyber Commando, Tokyo Wars, Aqua Jet, Alpine Racer, Air Combat 22 and some other arcade games. The TR3 could do 240,000 textured mapped and Gourard shaded polygons every second in 1993 and all the games ran at 60FPS locked! Sadly, Namco went with PowerVR for their System 23 arcade board (Time Crisis 2) and the partnership with Evans & Sutherland ended.
@ early 90s was a very strange time, the cold war had just ended so all the US Defense companies that made chips for military simulators needed to make money so they teamed up with Japanese game companies. General Electric started to talk with Sega but then they sold their chip division to Martin Marietta (Real3D) which teamed up with Sega for the Model 3 board. Evans and Sutherland teamed up with Namco. Good times
ATI did release a consumer product with multiple GPUs in 1999 called the Rage Fury MAXX. It was a single AGP slot card with two Rage 128 Pro GPUs on board that performed alternate-frame rendering. Arguably just the distant ancestor to multiple card interlinks, but they were obviously working on getting GPUs talking to each other long before anyone uttered the term "CrossFire" in relation to graphics.
Brings back memories of my 3DFX SLI setup from 1999. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace never looked so good! I was also using a 17" NOKIA CRT that was Neon Pink. Would have been perfect for Linus!

Can't wait for the 10 year-old computer video.
Should see my 2 Windows 98 high end gaming rigs I built (with lots of new old-stock stuff and CRT's)
PII450 Matrox G200+Voodoo2 12MB SLi Diamond Monster Sound II
PIII-S1.4GHz (have Voodoo5 but meh) GeForce 3 Ti 500 SB Audigy (w front-panel)
IDE to Compact Flash Cards for storage (the inventor deserves a freaking 🍪)
Add SCSI to get top storage performance.
My Matrox G200 set me back $250, that's like the new RTX 3090 in pricing. What the hell was I thinking.
See, that's a properly interesting build. 10 years back is just Nehalem and Sandy Bridge, which are still remarkably serviceable and have little difference in build from a modern PC. Just slower and no M.2/nVME.
Cool, I was already in the green team back then. I still have my Nvidia Riva TNT somewhere, should even work I guess.
Mycon . My TNT does.
Thank you Layne, truly a marvelous piece of hardware! Glad it is still around!
"building a PC from 10 years ago" ... guess i will know soon on how much exactly i need to upgrade my pc.
“old enough to still use DVI”

@@yo5942 my hp radeon 4650 has only dvi-i and 2 displayport (it was a business computer OEM part) and I am running a VGA monitor on it though dvi. Though Would have preferred its original 2 dvi-i and 1 s-video, could have run a dual VGA monitor setup and also run my TV.

That’s literally what they designed them for lol.
Thank you? I guess?

I love how the more advance tech Linus sees, the more he ages back to a primitive cave man
Linus just reached puberty and hes showing it off
It's called thermodynamics equilibrium. Since Linus has taken in so much high tech that his complexity has increased to a point where a fatal entropy burst may have occurred, and the primitive outlook was the natural reaction to balance out the complexity.
Also none of this is accurate, I've forgotten my thermodynamics already
@@jazmihamizan4987I had a stroke reading this comment.
9800's? Geez, I remember when those used to be a wallet-breaker AS A SINGLE GPU!
For a frame time of 3ms, the framerate would be 333 fps. For a frame time of 8 ms, the framerate would be 125
1/frametime = framerate :)
"should we have grills on our blowies?"

Probably because they couldn't operate the teleprompter right, thus he did it.

To get a proper FPS counter in the first Unreal Tournament, you need to type "timedemo 1" instead of "stat fps" in the console (Alternatively, Main Menu > Tools > TimeDemo Statistics). Typing "stat fps" in the console of UT99 just gives you those stats like at 12:26 at the bottom of the screen. This was changed in future releases of the game, so using "stat fps" will give you the framerate from UT2004 onward. Typing "timedemo 0" shows some stats taken between timedemo 1 and timedemo 0 in the console.
I immediately thought UT would be good for Open GL testing when it was mentioned, so I was glad to see it :)
Those "desktop lines" were a plague on ATI GPUs in the 90's and well into the Radeon era, and a significant part of why I went 3dFX then Nvidia.
I became a NVIDIA fanboy after my ATI Radeon had crapped out on my for the final time. Got my first NVIDIA card and it was a FX 5300 and it was rock solid. Now have a 1650 super
Im still using an ATI Radeon 2600 pro with a water block and it is massively overclocked and overvolted and the performance is about a 1080 ti

@@fightingfalconfan I actually had bad luck on nvidia fx series. Radeon 9800 pro never let me down till I needed a new gpu in 2010. Then I got a hd 3650 and after that gtx 9600 all used ofcourse because I didn't had much.
@@fightingfalconfan I gave ATI another chance with the very first Radeon released. I was playing Alice at 1600x1200 on my 21" Trinitron and it "popped", all the video went corrupt. Exchanged it on warranty, then traded it for my first nVidia card, with the thought process "they bought 3dfX so they're bound to be good right?" I was right and haven't looked back. Sadly I'm an AMD CPU fan, and was back then. I admit that an APU is a good way to go for a cheap gaming rig, but I still like my AMD/nVidia rigs.
I miss this era of tech. Brings me back to high school when I was trying my hardest to make FS2004 look and run good on my PC lol.,
11:35 Anthony can laugh and talk at the same time XD
This card looks like it was a brainstorm project on the actual card itself instead of on paper, which is cool in its own way. I remember seeing a card like this made me think it was out of this world.
Very cool, too bad we didn't get more benchmarks and details out of it, but that's LTT today... I remember Linus being excited for unboxings, testing, results, comparisons and details, now days LTT just gives overviews and maybe a history lesson every now and then.

When Linus was playing Unreal Tournament and he mentioned OpenGL I had this idea - what would gaming on Linux look like with this machine? Theoretically wine translates not only Windows calls to Linux calls but also translates D3D calls to OpenGL calls so in my theory it will eliminate the problem with graphical artifacts.
yea, you wanna hear a joke? ati driver linux support
its a custom driver doubt they made one for Linux to.
@@Somethingafw In one of the product pages, they mentioned supporting red hat linux. Considering it ran on servers, linux support was likely to be well supported.
@@Programmdude this
And since it's normal old GPU chip, it's likely to work under modern open drivers. Although, I'm not sure about all proto-CrossFire stuff.

DVI is still a current standard btw. Still used for 1080p displays, which is also why the 1660 cards have DVI. "Old" in that context would be a card with S-video out, or even UHF out which was a thing on some cards in the 90s (and incidentially on CGA cards in the early 80s). My 8800 GT has dual DVI and S-video and I bought that in 2007 or 2008. It was just before HDMI took over
