If you want DVI, there are Geforce DDR cards, but they are quite rare and expensive. You say that you target games older than 2001, thats one more reason to get an older videocard, instead a newer one.

But GF3 Ti200 should be much more common and cheaper, why not try one of those? Reply 5 of 24, by SPBHM Another option would be GF2 Ultra, also rare and expensive. I understand that you might not care much for "period correct" and that you want a system that can play a wide range of games, but there are some limits.

I had back in the time Ti4600, upgraded to 5900XT (a slighty slower version of 5900), it was quite faster (compared to Ti4600).ĥ900XT were quite common, you should find them now and they are probably cheaper than 5900, you might also consider one of those.Īnyway, I think you should get an older PC for those games, playing a DOS game from 1993 with a Ti4600 (or FX5900) is not quite the greatest "retro experience", you might as well play it in a modern system under DOSBox (if you play want to play it on a modern monitor - LCD with DVI). Not sure if that's even an unreasonable expectation, since I'm not the biggest fan of buying something used with a history that's unknown to me. I'm also looking for one still new in the box if humanly possible. Is this a reasonable route to take? I'm up for suggestions if anyone has any outside of my initial thoughts.

I need something that's still a great card for use in both DOS and Windows 9x. Not precisely period correct, but not overkill either.Ĥ. The FX isn't considered so new as to feel out of place in a Pentium III system. I'm constrained on space and can't afford to sacrifice additional slots.ģ. I need a card that only takes up one slot in my machine. The Ultra versions of these cards tend to use ridiculously loud fans and inefficient cooling solutions.Ģ. I'm thinking of setting my eye on the GeForce FX 5900 (non-Ultra) model as a possible replacement for several reasons.ġ. I hear the GeForce FX cards do generally have very crisp images and still support all the modes that were slowly dropped from newer generations of GeForce cards, such as palettized textures and fog table. However, since my intention is not to run games made past the year 2001 on my machine, I'm mostly unconcerned with splitting hairs on this point.

I understand that in many ways, the GeForce FX series is considered a step back from the GeForce4 in terms of raw horsepower. I'm ok with the VGA port for now, but when I get another flat panel display for this thing, I'd rather have bug-free DVI to work with.

However, all of these problems virtually vanish when I use the VGA port. Also, on games like Dark Forces, I get additional artifacting in the status bar of my HUD.

Games using standard VGA modes like Sierra adventure games from the early 90s (think Space Quest V) have extremely slow scrolling and redraw on the display. I do love this GPU, but the DVI out on the card is a bit. So I'm currently rocking a GeForce4 Ti 4600 (made by Leadtek under the WinFast brand) on the AGP bus.
