Windows 95B has them included. Maybe also original release, but I haven't tried. CL GD-5434 is a chipset from early 1994 and was used for ISA, VLB and PCI cards.

For 1995 game in 1995 any VGA card would support SVGA. I used to play NFS on my ISA only 486DX2-80 with ET4000 ISA card and my monitor at the time was true VGA with 640x480 only. Of course I played in VGA mode.

Yes, you do need to run SoftMPU before the game. Why do you need softmpu? The module is an SC-88VL, not an MT-32 so it doesn't need intelligent mode. See here for some instructions: https://www.ixbt.com/multimedia/sblive-dos.shtml I think it should work under DOS just fine if configured properly. …

I've tested around 50 cards, mostly ISA and VLB and some PCI for comparision. Total 70 benchmarks as I've also done the combos with installed memory (1MB vs 2MB vs 4MB where possible). Of course only difference with installed memory is in Windows and only with chipsets that support memory …

So you're saying Trident 9200 is slow in DOS. How much slower then S3 805? As I only have Trident 9440 cards. My tests were done with AMD 5x86-133 and PODP5V83 running at 100Mhz.

Performance VLB vs PCI with the same chipset and the same motherboard (486 VIP with 5x86-133) is the same. PCI isn't faster. Tested with ATI MACH64, S3 Trio64, Tseng ET4000/w32p. Comparing PCI vs VLB on a VIP style motherboard is tricky as you are essentially penalising PCI - see https://www.vogons …

Cards in my interest era (ISA, VLB) are all pretty rare to find, no matter the brand.

Do you have any info on GreenMath 487 fpu? Many just renamed 387 to 487 to reflect the 486SLC and DLC upgrades. But performance didn't change.

Anyone you want. There isn't much difference between them in real apps anyway.

It's the same. Look at the date on the photos - upper left corner area. They are both from 2017. I had no idea about this... but then again I don't watch/read news for many years now. I also have no clue about the motivation for this topic.
