Great work, thanks! Are you collect the oldest versions? For example Hi-Octane has two versions (at least), the older one is the 19951027 one (latest file date is 19951026), and the newer one has no timestamp ("00000000" and the latest file date is 19951106). The only difference between this two …

For 3D Blaster PCI, all CGL games and demos require a CGL driver file. With 1.70 beta 7 set you can play all of them: https://gona.mactar.hu/3D/CGL/

Do you have sound card in your system? If I remember correctly, for Hi-Octane you need a sound card.

Unfortunately UniVBE/SDD does not helps with scroll problem nor lagging because they not VBE related problems. I have tested all known tools on many problematic cards and none of them can help on Commander Keen or Jazz Jackrabbit.

The manual writes 5 jumper configs, but 3 jumpers has 8 possible jumper configs. I have not tested, but these are the 3 not documented jumper config: Jumper on only A; Jumpers on A and C; Jumpers on A, B and C.

Curious. Does the MVP3 chipset generally show faster DOOM results, or is it just with the Millennium series? For examplel, if you used a TNT card on the 430VX vs. MVP3, would the MVP3 still show a bit faster results? I have to correct my earlier statement: Also it seems VIA MVP3 is better in Doom, …

AGP Matrox cards also has small differences is DOS. G200; G200A; G400 and G400 MAX AGP cards are the fastest and they has full the same performance. G100; G450 and G550 AGP cards a bit slower and Parhelia 128MB retail AGP a bit more slower especially in Doom (12%). It is interesting, but in same …

In AGP I have only G100; G200; G200A; G400; G400 Max; G550 and Parhelia 128MB retail. But the Parhelia 128MB retail I cannot insert into this P100 benchmark because it not works on AGP 3.3V. But later I plan a DOS VGA benchmark with VIA C3 Ezra-T 1000MHz with most of my cards (about 170 cards).

I own a matrox g450 PCI, is it equivalent for the benchmark? Matrox Millennium, Mystique, Mystique 220, Millennium II and G200 PCI cards are produce very similar benchmark results. G450 PCI is a littlebit faster but this is still a less then 1% difference, so I say Matrox G450 PCI results are also …
