Oh boy, when you see those game requirements. Today gamers would change GPUs not every year or so but kind of. Those software rendering engines are true gems because the guys who worked on them literally pushed CPU and RAM to their limits and beyond. Is also a reminder of how much you can do with so little. I highly respect and admire people that grew up chewing up assembly during the 80's and 90's, wished I had that pleasure.
- liquidgecka 3y agoI worked in the qualification department for a large memory company around y2k. We ran thousands of computers with samples of all our memory so we could spot issues early. One of our best tests was running Quake in a pre-recorded speed run mode. It could run through in about a minute or so. It torched the CPU and memory and was great at seeing if a system was going to have issues. =)
