Driver / Medium settings, normal frame rate. Motocross Mania / High settings, normal frame rate. Harry Potter 1 & 2 / High settings, normal frame rate. GTA 3 & GTA Vice City / Lowest settings, low frame rate. Midtown Madness 1 & 2 / High settings, good frame rate. (Lowering the settings makes the game look really ugly). Serious Sam TFE and TSE / Medium settings, somehow low fps.
All FIFA games from 98 to FIFA 2002 World Cup / Highest settings - smooth fps. This is the list of the games I would like to play / and how they perform now with the Matrox G200:
Is the NVidia Quadro a proper selection, since it's not from this era? It is the most powerful one - similar to FX-5200 and comes with DirectX 8.īut many of the games I like to play are older than DirectX 8 and maybe do not require that much of a power.Īlso, I don't know how it will perform with the Windows 98 SE (because the card is newer) and if there are going to be driver issues. Is G550 going to perform similar to G450 (and not worth the more money over G450), or is noticeably more powerful? 3. 1 x Nvidia HP Quadro NVS 280 64MB PCI Graphics Card (untested but working HP desktop pull kept in storage). Nvidia HP Quadro NVS 280 64MB PCI Graphics Card. Is G450 going to perform significantly better than G200? If so, should I get it also because of the lowest price? 2. Nvidia HP GeForce Quadro NVS 280 64MB Graphics Card. I searched a lot for benchmarks of these videocards, yet I find it hard to choose the right one. The motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot, so here are my options: Matrox G450 32 MB PCI Matrox G550 32 MB PCI NVidia Quadro NVS-280 64 МB PCI I like the performance of the G200, yet I would like a little bit higher resolution for gaming (since it performs best in 640x480). Here are my specs: HP Brio 83xx Pentium III 450 MHz 256 MB SDRAM 32 GB HDD Matrox G200 8MB AGP (Onboard) // It's an integrated chip on the motherboard, yet Windows driver says its name is AGP// Windows 98 SE
I want to upgrade my retro gaming PC with a better graphics card.
