Hearing "dual rendering pipeline and 1 shader map unit" is like when people from 2050 hear "6 cores and 12 threads"...

Intel graphics: "I expect nothing and I'm still let down."

Calling it the Extreme...you have to admire their optimism lol. Nice work man!

Ugh dude you're giving me flashbacks of the computer i was stuck with for a large bit of my childhood

This is less of 'Can it run Crysis' and more 'Can It RUN?' 😄

Can it run games is out of the question. CAN IT WALK GAMES?

A large factor in Unreal's poor performance here was that this graphics chip would force you into using the infamous Direct3D renderer without modifying the game. To give you an idea of its performance, on my personal retro machine; a Pentium III 866 MHz, and a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 on the 45.23 driver, I would fairly frequently get dips below 20 fps in hectic battles even if I set the resolution to 640x480--but I never tested with lower settings than max because I felt that I shouldn't _need_ to lower settings with my overkill hardware. Oddly resolution barely helps (or hurts) at all with that renderer. (I ended up using an unofficial opengl 3.0 renderer that was _waaay_ better). The game was built to use either the software renderer or the Glide renderer, but software would not really reflect as a benchmark on this chip's performance (even though it would probably run _better_ at low resolutions), and this chip can't use the Glide API so Direct3D was the logical choice here.

Can it at least show a screenshot of Crysis?

Get the AGP Intel graphics card and put it on an AMD mobo.

This video was about a graphics chip? I couldn't stop looking at the lead solder on that motherboard. It was so shiny.

*looks at the motherboard* oh sorry i was too busy looking at the clean motherboard to comment

This makes the 8400GT seem like a GTX 1080 in comparison

I'm overly obsessed with old hardware and old processors, so I love these kinds of videos, so much so I replicated the Scott CPU ("How a CPU Works" video, just search it if you're interested.) in the Lua programming language, except mine ran at 200Mhz after special compilation processes in which I compiled it down to a barebones assembly program.

This was my first "GPU" ever, in my first ever PC. The board I had was IIRC a Packard Bell rebranded GA6WMM7. It didn't even have an AGP port, I was stuck with the i810 for a few years during high school. It could run the first CS, and I remember playing the first Soldier of Fortune on it, but almost completely without textures. Beat that game, too, but to this day I have no idea if it had good visuals or not :D

Finally got a chance to watch this video. Loved the video, seeing these games brought back some good memories.

Back in the 90s, integrated graphics were a bloody god send when I was building computer labs for my high school.

The PC cafe I frequented in 1999 had i740s installed on the PCs and it was quite capable of running games of that period. I mostly ran Half-Life mods (Counter-Strike Beta anyone?!?) and Quake 3 Arena with my friends and also some single-player focused games. (Homeworld ran not bad...)

I had one of those back when they were new. Kept if for a week and returned it for an S3 Virge card which was much better for what I needed at the time (re: not playing games). The i740 was the worst graphics card I ever owned.

Ah, Bowserstone Market. Such a great track.

I have Intel Extreme Graphics 2 in an HP d530. It runs half-life(cd version) in 720p smoothly without a drop. Works perfecty with a 1440x900 monitor and Windows XP.

This is cool, I just got a laptop with a Rage M1 mobillity chip looking forward to seeing what it can do, I remeber when I had my Q6600 system last year it had a Intel express fmaily chipset or something for its graphgics and I was really curious to see what Intle graphics were like before the main "Intel HD graphics" we all know these days

Imagine having a build with cpu being this and the gpu being the rtx 3090

This card was good back in the day compared to competitors prices. I really enjoyed my i740 pci card back in the day. Nice video brings back good memories. Thanks.

I don't know why intel decided to make a gpu almost purposely bad, if theyre going to make something, do it well, seems to match their marketing today, over hype for something not as good as they say

Brilliant as per usual. Worth the wait.

Great video as always!! - always very interesting to see the history of everything you review

5:49 Benchmarking

That was a great vid Hamish. Though for the minute I'd suggest cutting your internet connection and hiding in a hut on Rackwick.

Damn, that thumbnail is quality

The i740 was created to be the reference design for AGP Texturing(the usefulness of AGP Texuring was only ever really shown to be in synthetic benchmarks, as games tried to avoid texture thrashing and extremely poor performance on older cards like voodoo2's that could otherwise perform really well).The 16 bit color looked bad but if it had 32bit it would have been way too slow

Great video bud loves videos about old comps like this i think its because i have so many of them lol!

I had an i740 AGP back in the day it was so very very bad at everything.

The i752 was basically an improved i740, which was from back in the days when you were upgrading from like...a S3 Virge DX. The i740 was literally the very first AGP gpu ever on the market. The PCI cards were actually pretty good and had great image quality, just not terribly fast. We had a few successful UT2003 lan parties on some i810 graphics systems...on like 640x480 ultra low settings back in the day. 😂

I have a system with this chipset. Perfect for a Voodoo 3 pci! Happy to see you covering late 90's hardware; aka my favourite period!

This was a nice trip down memory lane. Great video mate.

I have tested some time ago this iGPU (but the 810-DC100 one) in a Compaq Deskpro EN C500 with a 500mhz Celeron Mendocino the pirated version of Half-Life Opposing Force . It only ran in D3D mode at very low (but playeable) FPS. Fact: The first 810 ones can't run a PIII , it haves a incompatibility with SSE Instructions . This was fixed in Rev.A2 of the chipset , That Compaq PC had the older revision

I'm actually curious to see how well it'd compare to the Rivz 128ZX. Apparently its lacking some of the original 128's flaws, not that it performs well regardless.

*Others*: look at my gtx19888 200gb ram 235599 hz new processor *me , an evolved gamer* : intel 810

5yr olds: can it run fortnite I do fortnite I am a grown-up 10yr olds: LOL ITS SOOOOO BAD

Now put this igpu in a fight with my 845G chipset igpu! >:) Also you should try getting the best PCI gpu possible cause It would be really cool to see how much the PCI slot would limit the card. :)

I have this old graphics back in 2002 but its 82810e, of course its terrible. But at least Max Payne and Unreal Tournament runs OK

Crazy enough, I just found a Compaq DeskPro from 1999 that has that exact chip. The craziest part is since my parents never used it it sat for 20 years without me or them knowing! And on top of that it boot right up! after 20 years

Ps1 gpu is better than that

yeah, I have the Intel 845 "Extreme" chip in a few older computers, I absolutely hate not being able to get an AGP card, the boards didn't even come with AGP slots, just 3 PCI ones. Its extremely annoying trying to find a decent card for an ok price.

I have a IBM p3 pc that I found in a rain gutter completely submerged. Pulled it out, pulled it apart, let it all dry in the sun with fans blowing air across, put it all together, and it works. It was under the ground until a big storm revealed it

I started with this now I have a 1080 ti. We have come a long way.

An i810 based motherboard would probably be a killer DOS gaming machine. I have a mini-ITX i810 board with no graphics slots. Good candidate for a custom DOS mini-PC.

I remember when I got Q3A and I didn't have a good enough graphics card to play it. It refused to even boot on our Voodoo 2 (I think). It demanded at least Voodoo 3 and that was a really expensive card. Or that's what my brother told me at least...

wouldn't the technical first *integreated* GPU be the GMA gfx on the i3 530?

I remember having had something similar to this or maybe even the same chip, with a 1Ghz coppermine celeron. playing standard skulltag deathmatch (Doom2) was a disaster with plasmagun spam it would slow to a crawl. GTA2 and rayman 2 ran fine tho albeit on lower resolutions. and my mobo had no AGP slot so no addon cards. dark times. and the worst part? i had it till 2010.

Hey, I HAD ONE OF THOSE!!!! It actually wasn't that bad back in 98! I had it in my Hotwheels computer!

Intel the computer inside. Man I remember those days. =) have a good one budget gamer

Cyrix were first with an iGPU I think in 1997. The Cyrix Media GX has integrated video and audio processing in the CPU package itself. I didn't even know about it at the time.

Oh, this brings me back. the first PC I purchased was an HP pavilion 6835 with intel 810 and celeron 800, 128mb ram, and 30gb HD. Windows ME. back in fall 2001. I gamed the hell out of that unit. ignorance is bliss, they say, but I never knew any better. star craft brood war, doom and doom II, test drive 5 and test drive 6. It was good times. was this referred to as the original 'extreme graphics? I know the 865g had the "extreme graphics 2" moniker (nvm, you mentioned it at the 4 minute mark). The mpeg 2 decoding is real on the i810. I tested it in 2007 with the HP 6835, at that point long replaced and collecting dust. It required an old copy of power DVD, but I was surprised that the celeron 800 could do it with only 50% usage for DVD playback. without the hardware decoding enabled it would stutter. That HP 6835 lives on to this day, the case at least, now sporting an HP ITX board housing a baytrail celeron J1850, 4gb Low volt laptop ddr3 ram, and a 120gb ssd, on linux mint. I use it for office use only now.

I have an ASRock P4i45GV, my grandfather gave me that board, still working fine with a Northwood Celeron 1.8GHz

I remember having to use one of these to play Fable back in the day and all the water was yellow for some reason.

My first new DIY PC was based on an ASUS i810 motherboard w/ Celeron 300A oc 508 which just feel like yesterday. Using that paired with two Voodoo2 12MB did give me a good time. Seeing those useless AMR slot is just funny, I've never see anything based on that slot on the retail market.

Games which have some 3D include these: carmageddon, baldurs gate 2, nightmare-creatures, resident-evil, 7th-guest, deus-ex (software-mode). Running an AmigaOS might have some better written versions of games (hexen2, quake, wipeout, etc).

I think I had this on my first ever Windows XP PC. I just remember how it was terrible to use, and most of the games refused to even start up. I still have that motherboard around, but something is wrong with it, since I can't get any "sound" from it. But yeah, still fires up and works after all those years.

Quake 3 with faceless characters is absolutely cursed.

I'd like to mention that the Intel i810 / i740 is a 3D graphics accelerator not a GPU. The nVIDIA Geforce 256 was the first GPU (Nvidia defined at the time as "a single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second").

iGPU or bust

I used a i740 and it was fantastic..... with a voodoo 2 add on. The world of 3D and gaming was very different then as most 3D games had a software mode so you didn't need a 3D card, give me a big trinitron CRT monitor with my setup and I was the most envied gamer in my suburb.

When I quit building PC’s and got away from them when *( Sata hadn’t come out yet SSD’s weren’t even an idea yet probably, and a dual core cpu? what’s that my last PC was a 3.2ghz athlon 1 core 1 thread ddr2 ram )* they were nowhere near as complex as today, I’ve learned a lot over the last 8 months of having a new cutting edge PC 5900X/3080 Ti/32gb of 3600mhz ram

What an entertaining video. I never seen these kind of video around on youtube.

My first PC ever was a 300 MHz Celeron with this beast. I played Fallout 1 on it and it still struggled sometimes in firefights.

My first GPU :) Ran AvP well enough to give me my first online gaming experience.

I mean, the fact it actually ran the games that where launched from around the same year as the GPU already makes it way better than the newer Intel iGPU, smh

Now this is what we can call budget gaming!! *thumbs up*

As a teenager my family had a PII-400 MMX, with an intel i740 onboard graphics. Certainly an upgrade from the 486 DX 33.

You should've tried C&C: Red Alert 2! That's a really heavy 2D game, since units are voxels and not sprites.

3:57 The real question is what was Lockheed Martin doing with real3d and owning 70% of it then sold it to intel.

back then it was a hassle even running age of empires 3 because it had glitchy graphics... but nowadays igpus with edram has really good performance it even runs nier automata at almost 60fps

I hope one day you'll look at the Intel 740, their early 1998 attempt to bring everyone over to their then new AGP slot technology.

What a relic! The oldest intel graphics accelerator i ever used is gma x3100 (which sucks too)

Still runs better than my pc.

I remember mostly playing Diablo 2, Quake 3 and CS 1.6 in 2003-2005 because my PC only had intel graphics and those were literally the only games it could run at a whopping 1024x768 resolution.

I bought a laptop for 1000€ and it barely rung fortnite in all low settings 600p with an averege of 40fps and in build battles it goes bellow 30. It has and intel core i7 7th gen, 16 gigabytes of ddr4 ram, intel hd graphics and amd radeon R7 445

I used to have one of those with 4mb on board ram(it makes difference). It was ok for its time. Played so many games.

Can it run Crysis?

FWIW- the AMD AMD 785G chipset with onboard ATI HD 4200 graphics is what got me back into PC gaming. This was in a Dell Inspiron 570 quad core Phenom minitower. It gamed so well with the onboard, I realized I was just a used dedicated GPU from playing HL2 and even Metro 2033. Did you ever play around with that chipset on board graphics? I think it totally stomped all over Intel's on board, and even urinated on its grave. I am probably in the minority, but I think every single motherboard should have some type of on board graphics chip since almost every CPU socket has CPUs without iGPUs. It's a very nice backup to have when you are troubleshooting a graphics card issue, or even have cheap no power some CPU/iGPU combo on board to allow the powerful CPU/GPU to remain off to save power when not needed. IDK.. some cut down 15 watt tdp atom or whatever is modern similar.. something tiny they can use to fill out their existing silicon wafers in production to keep costs way down.

The first car... Can you buy groceries with it?!

Some good memories are coming back watching this...

Architecture i752........damn this is crazy. Intel was supposed to release this thing as a discrete card back after the Intel i740 but since the card bombed so hard Intel cancelled discrete cards and just did the integrated thing until this year 2020 when they will release their Xe GPUs!

Back from a time when not every solder joint would crack within 10 years...

Now theres a classic game Fallout 2, along with Grim Fandango. Theres a lot of the older games that you young lot need to have a look at. Well this shows what older tech is capable of.

My first computer from 2005 had a chipset family. Was able to run battlefield 2

Other hint: Monolith games like Shogo and Blood 2 was capable to run at Intel 810 smoothly (tested at 640x480 when i got it). Maybe because despite being contemporary has not enough detail unlike Unreal.

Impressive mate!! Keep up the good work!!

If you're looking to build a P3 based Win98 system, an i815 mobo with an AGP port is usually a fair bit cheaper than a 440BX board. No ISA, Max 1G RAM, and no overclocking are the only drawbacks to i815 over 440BX, IMO.

I had to stick with that gpu for a few months back in the day... It wasn't all that terrible, I could play Quake3 and watch divx. DirectX5+ games wouldn't even load xD

It's a i7 so it must be GOOD!

I had a PC with an integrated Voodoo 3. Which meant no AGP slot for upgrades. Good design choice…

I’m sure it’ll do perfectly, providing you just stick to OpenTTD and UFO: Enemy Unknown 😂

wow, I would have not expected this, but seems like youtube has bloated your video?! Could you imagine that simply watching your video takes up 50% of my i5 2430m. By the time I am posting this, the cpu usage went down actually. But YES your video link required alot of processing power. I know some websites do bitcoin mingin behind your back, so they have really high cpu usage. But why is a youtube video requiring such processing power ... its usually around 3-4%, but your video is seriously demanding :O

TIL Lockheed, the one behind the SR-71, once made GPUs

Got one of these in my Dell XPS 400, but with an ATI Radeon 128 X300. The desktop also doesn’t have integrated video.

5:35 Voodoo and Voodoo2 cards also used 16-bit color in games, at least when using GLide.

I was using a VIA 4-in-1 at the time with a Celeron 900Mhz, think it was an S3 based chipset? 8MB shared RAM and I don't even know what the other specs were, although it ran Deus Ex tolerably at 640x480 and most 2D games fine. "Upgraded" to a PCI TNT2 which could run Freelancer comfortably at 1152x864@16. Then an FX5200 (ugh), and finally my first real good graphics experience with a 6800LE. A lovely little 128MB card which overclocked tremendously well and let me unlock 4 extra pixel shaders (so it was in effect a 6600GT I think)

It wasn't bad. It came out in April 99 and did what a state of the art 2d and accelerator did 2 years ago. Imagine if rtx was built in motherboard in 2 years
