The Lost Art of Tech Demos

Описание: Strap in and take a ride with me to the past, exploring the history and nostalgia of graphics card tech demos made by many of the most famous vendors in the industry!

A total of 58 demos from NVIDIA, ATI, 3dfx, Matrox, and more were recorded for this video using my own hardware. In many cases, substitutions were made in place of the intended hardware where it made sense to, for the sake of efficiency and time management. These were the graphics cards used:

-3Dfx Voodoo 4MB
-3Dfx Voodoo2 12MB
-3Dfx Voodoo5 5500
-Rendition V1000L-P 4MB
-Matrox G400 MAX
-NVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX
-NVIDIA GTX 285
-ATI Rage Pro 4MB
-ATI Rage 128 Pro
-ATI Radeon 7500 64MB
-ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
-ATI Radeon X1950XTX
-AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB
