    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.

    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.

    • @SeanCC
      @SeanCC Před rokem +4

      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.

The TR3 could do 240,000 textured mapped and Gourard shaded polygons every second in 1993 and all the games ran at 60FPS locked!

"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

      @@shagstars Actually, the "I" in DVI-I stands for "integrated," which means that the device supports both DVI-D (digital) and DVI-A (analog) connections. Most video cards with a DVI output (other than passthrough cards for motherboard video, which are often DVI-D only because they have a VGA connector on the board for analog video) are DVI-I and thus support both DVI-A and DVI-D, both in 2004 and now. The most common use of DVI-A was with DVI to VGA adapters and VGA monitors, which only supported analog signals. Most monitors with a DVI input have always supported digital signals..
      Of course DVI-D can be either single or dual link. Single link digital DVI and analog DVI both support the same maximum resolution, 1920 x 1200. Only dual link digital DVI supports higher.

      @@shagstars DVI-I dual link ports have all the holes, while DVI-I single link ports, DVI-D single link ports, DVI-D dual link ports, and DVI-A ports each have only a partial set.
      I can't give a definitive reference of when you might see one or another type of port, but this is my experience:
      You generally see DVI-D ports only on passthrough cards for motherboard video.
      You almost never see a DVI-A port, but you see DVI-A plugs on DVI to VGA adapters sometimes (though they sometimes use a DVI-I plug anyway).
      The vast majority of ports you see are DVI-I, but some may be single link DVI-I (covering only single link DVI-D along with DVI-A). Single link ones would be missing holes.
      There are relatively few dual link DVI-D cables (plugs) out there. Most cables are DVI-I single link. I have a DVI-I dual link cable to support my old 2560x1440 monitor, which I have to adapt to the card it's being used with now using a USB powered DVI to DisplayPort adapter.

    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.

      Although, assuming their XP has not been compromised, it's not a threat to anything else on the network. It is however a good target; but if you've already got malware or hackers roaming your internal network to attack this thing, you've got bigger problems.

    • @needfuldoer4531
      @needfuldoer4531 Před 3 lety

      Yeah, you'd have to be careless or very unlucky for your XP machine to get compromised if all you're doing is grabbing drivers and executables from known sources. Not to say XP is _safe_ by any means; you absolutely shouldn't be using it for anything important like your online banking or social media anymore. But as long as you don't go on the seedy side of the web with IE, and you have a properly configured firewall, you should be safe-ish enough to connect for updates without too much worry.
      A company like LMG, with servers full of critical data on site, should still definitely use a DMZ for these quickie one-off projects. Nothing sucks worse than an unexpectedly dirty device going rogue and wreaking havoc on your production network. Been there, done that, preemptively scanned every machine we got from that vendor from then on.
