Great find! makes post a sticky

This one’s really nice.
I think this one should be stickied.

I have owned the very card at the top of the list ! The old Matrox Mystique.
It was a great card though, I had fun with it.

Destruction Derby 2 and MechWarrior2 came with that card.
At that time there was also the Matrox Millenium.

This one really does have it covered!

Now it works.

But I’m too tired to read it right now.

I’ll read it later.

thats pretty detailed, too detailed for me though

Here is a link I found that I use all the time when recommending video cards.

This is the most complete list I’ve ever seen, awesome! Anyone found a Nvidia one yet?

11

Actually the nvidia cards are there in the same list.

12

Doh! That was dumb, I didn’t actually check out the second link. My bad.

13

Hmmm…Lost in translation. I’ve never heard of the 5800 Ultra or 128MT but maybe I’m just not very well informed. Otherwise it’s a good link (I can’t believe I didn’t check it out in the first place).

The 5800 Ultra was supposed to be the High-end nvidia card when the FX range came out. Problem is they screwed up, big time, so they replaced it with the 5900 series.
