In terms of game engine performance, the CLX2 peaks at 5 million polygons/sec, compared to the GeForce 256 which peaks at 2.9 million polygons/sec. Dreamcast game engines rendered 50,000–160,000 polygons per scene (3–5 million polygons/sec), while PC game engines of 1999 rendered up to 10,000 polygons per scene (1–1.6 million polygons/sec). Character models in particular were significantly more detailed in Dreamcast games than in PC games during 1998–1999.The Dreamcast's PowerVR CLX2 GPU was the basis for the PowerVR PMX1, a PC GPU released with the Neon 250 graphics card in 1999. However, the Neon 250 lacks many of the tiled rendering features of the CLX2: the tile size is halved (halving the fillrate), it lacks the CLX2's internal Z-buffering and alpha test capability with hardware front-to-back translucency sorting (further reducing the fillrate and performance, as well as requiring the Neon 250 to render a Z-buffer externally), and the tiling is partially handled by software (the CLX2 handles the tiling entirely in hardware). The Neon 250 also lacks the CLX2's latency buffering and palettized texture support while VQ texture compression performance is halved, and it has bus contention due to having a single data bus (whereas the CLX2 has two data buses).
why are you spamming this?
The original thread got deleted, but I had it open in a tab, so I salvaged it.
>>11993041I'm not spamming. Let's focus on discussing the Dreamcast and 90s PC gaming.
why was the thread deleted? there was a thread about cod ghosts up for hours when that's completely off topic.
>>11993041It's not spam. You can't just call everything you don't like spam.
>>11993039The Riva TNT2 (March 1999) and the Geforce 256 (October 1999) both outclass the the Dreamcast.
>>11993108Name one 1999 or 2000 PC game that has better graphics than Dreamcast
dreamcast wasnt more powerful than a pcyou re'tard
>>11993108Are you familiar with a '99 game that highlights the contrast?
>>11993113Quake 3
>>11993110RevoltTrickstyleQuake 3All have dreamcast versions which are graphically inferior
>>11993061I think it's because it said "mogs" instead of "outclasses." Jannie gets annoyed when we talk like zoomers.
>>11993110i take that backgames in 1999 were shitthey only got good in 2003
>>11993117I blame incompetent western devs
>>11993117>Quake 3I played a lot of Q3A on Dreamcast. I remember that in local multiplayer, the ammo cubes were swapped with sprites. However, I can't recall whether the single-player mode ran at 60 or 30 FPS.
>>11993113Test Drive 6 should be a good example with both a PC and Dreamcast release. With a PC you could push the resolution much higher.
>>11993121>bad console version is because of "bad western dev"Bad pc version is because of "bad Japanese dev"Why fucking bother with this comparison then if you're just going to say "THAT DOESN'T COUNT!"?
>>11993140Name one PC game from 1999 or 2000 that looks as good as DOA2 or RE:CV
>>11993113There will be some PC games which have a technical advantage, but none which have a cohesive graphical fidelity that matches something like Sonic Adventure or Soul Calibur. This isn't helped by Quake 3 having a dark and brooding atmosphere. The artists working for console and arcade games at the time were just more skilled overall. The US gaming industry has historically been very programmer and engine first and art and game design second. The time when it had all those things at once (Doom, Mortal Kombat perhaps) made the few iconic US game releases of the 90s.
>>11993152Unreal TournamentMDK2But both have that neon punk PC western gaming look, so it's a matter of taste.
>>11993152>compare different platform exclusives to one anotherEnough of trick questions, fag
>>11993153sonic adventure is on pc.>muh vanilla version betternowdays you can patch it to use the dreamcast models.get a geforce 256 pc and apply the patch for a direct comparison.
>>11993263>get a geforce 256 pc and apply the patch for a direct comparison.easier said than done
>>11993039>the PowerVR PMX1, a PC GPU released with the Neon 250 graphics card in 1999It wasn't a GPU.
>>11993265Do it, faggot
>>11993263>sonic adventure is on pc.In 2003.
>>11993272House of the dead 2 got a pc port around the dreamcast age
>>11993265true, but for the wrong reason.i have a p3 933mhz with a geforce 256 but can't be bothered to get it out of storage.
>>11993272doesn't matter.we are comparing 1999 hardware.
>>11993278Go ahead and pull off the trick, Anon.
>>11993039>outclasses your 90s gaming PCYeah, for less than a year. When pic related came out the Dreamcast hardware was obsolete
>>11993326Pretty sure a TNT2 beat the DC. We were playing games at 1024x768 already.
>>119933461024x768 was possible in 1998 with a Voodoo 2 SLI, at playable framerates too.
>>11993326i prefer this box.sadly, i believe i had to trash it because i have no space.
>not buying Leadtek when they were peak
>>11993110Baldur's Gate 2, Diablo 2, Age of Empires 2.
>>11993110Giants: Citizen Kabuto
>>11993283i made some research and turns out i may not be able to do it even if i wanted to.https://x.com/doitonwin98/status/1510053115197902853i have windows me installed.dotnet 4.5 needs windows vista sp2 minimum.i could just install xp and use an old version of sadx mod installer that supports xp, but i don't want to. xp runs like ass.
>>11993406So it only doesn't work because stupid middleware bullshit.What a shit thread, no wonder the previous thread got deleted instantly
No
>>11993406Thanks, Anon. You just made it clear that the Windows PC port of Sonic Adventure is terrible.I bet the GeForce 256 outperforms the Dreamcast on Quake III Arena.The only game that comes to mind for comparison is PSO, but I'm not sure if it works with WinME.>>11993449Yet another garbage port by SEGA. I get that they wanted to showcase how versatile and dev-friendly DirectX is, but the performance of that port is terrible.
The Dreamcast was too ahead of its time.
>>11994029
>>11994048This but unironicaly, thank you Sega for the last good console
>>11993046As much as I hate jammies I cannot condone this image. It's dripping with pure evil and sadism. I feel like my soul is poisoned every time I see it.
>>11994091Nobody cares about your opinions on memes mocking a Jannie, dude.Discuss the Dreamcast and 90s PC gaming or kill yourself.
