| i have a pci-card with a "S3 vision 868" chip. Is this capable of hw-3d gfx under dx? |
| ||
| lik i just upgraded a pc from that, its not compatable with blitz (directx 7), u can get a good cheap card for blitzen from ebay for about £8 including packaging |
| ||
| oh, but check to see it works with directx 7 before u bid :) |
| ||
| jfk, we found that some old S3 video cards don't like 2Xmultiply blendmodes, same with a few other cards in and around the TNT/TNT2 generation. Thats what we have found with marketvalue anyway. |
| ||
| thanks! I got this from the flee market, and my daughters old pc has no AGP slot (yeah, got to buy her a new one soonish, currently I try to save some money). Well, the card was manufactured in 1994 - likely to support nothing at all. |
| ||
| try a low level GeForce 2 card - power without the price. |
| ||
| you can get a PCI GeForce 2MX for about £30 these days. |

| you can get a PCI GeForce 2MX for about £30 these days. Well I paid about $35 USD for mine (I bought one so I could use dual monitors a while back). I'm not sure how much £30 is in USD, but I'd guess it's somewhere around $50? In any case, if you have the option to, check Pricewatch.com. |
| ||
| Likewise I picked up a PCI Geforce 4 MX 440 for around AU$100. |

| In a shop they told me they don't sell PCI Graphicscards anymore. Maybe I have to search more intensively. Thanks a lot! |
