Voodoo4 4500 AGP vs GeForce 256 SDR - GPU Duel (ep. 8)

The Vice City part reminds me of how back in the day you'd be playing it how it played on the Voodoo 4 and think it ran just fine. Then you'd upgrade your video card and it would now run how it did on the 256 with higher frame rates and you would be amazed just how good it looked.

I remember upgrading from Voodoo 3 2000 to a GeForce 3. Those days were so awesome. The box art on video cards were sick to look at on the shelves.

I didn't know that the voodoo could actually run nfs most wanted kind of OK, perhaps at 640x480 it might be fairly playable...

Geforce cards where great at that time! I remembered GeForce 256 DDR it wass crayzy fast, and also Geforce2 GTS, . Ti eventually Ultra was perfect gamer's choice.
I had Creative Geforce2 Annihilator GTS 64MB DDR in 2001 and this card was alble to run later demanding games such as Painkiller, NFS: Most Wanted at about 25fps, which was playable

All those games are very modern to run on voodoo 4 (and geforce 256 too)and also none are optimized for glide. Anyway very good video.

I think Hardware T&L is not the Problem with so much raw cpu power. The Geforce 256 has 4 Renderpipelines and the Voodoo4 has 2 resulting in 333Mtexel and 480Mtexel for the Geforce. The Voodoo5 should clearly win. Sadly the voodoo5 was to late...

This is like comparing a Voodoo Graphics to an S3 Virge using Glide-only games.

problem is it doesnt support a hardware T&L engine. They put a voodoo 5 5500 up against a geforce 2 ultra and it slightly out performed the geforce 2 ultra when they set it to software T&L like the voodoo 5 only supports

There must be some problem with the CPU usage indicator since it shows 50-52%.

How well does the geforce 256 runs on a 640x480 CRT monitor ?

If I was you, I’d put the resolution to 640x480 and I’d overclock.

Voodoos ve problems with hardware 2004+. At least, for a fair and square comparison, use hardware and originals drivers from their time (and of course tell us the drivers u r using)

before we used to play this kind of old games in a very low framerate and we enjoyed it at 640x480 resolution and the one who could playing at 1024 resolution was considered rich and he has one of the best gaming rigs but now if you don't run any game at smooth 50 to 60 fps in 8k your pc equals low to medium end

Good old days trying the best to get playable frame rates even with top tier graphics cards. Now a days it goes like "100 fps! Too low"
