Re: Matrox card questions

Thanks, dionb. That kind of comparison to a TNT2 was one of my curiosities. Driver problems is my guess, too. Could this G550 be an OEM variant, which is why it has a subsys ID that's not in Matrox's official driver package? The mobo in my Win98 box is a Biostar M7VIG400, in case there are known …

Thanks, guys, this is good information. dionb, that explains a lot, and fits other descriptions I've read about Matrox in general. My Millennium II has been a great 2D card in my MMX233 box, so I was hoping for something as good or better for a Win98 box. I had gotten the G550 to a stable desktop by …

Error, you might be right about EpicA being related to the P690. A predecessor maybe? According to a wiki about Parhelia, the P690 was released in 2007. Both my G550 and EpicA cards has copyright 2004 stamped on the PCB. I came across a datasheet for P690 and they all have 128MB DDR2. So I searched …

Thanks, Error. Before shutting down last night I did find the SUBSYS number of the G550, after searching the registry. Mine is 0F42102B. I added it to the list in the inf file, and that allowed it to be detected by the setup program. However, the PowerDesk utility prevents Windows from loading the …

Thanks for the replies so far. No experiences with an EpicA ? :) I decided to take a shot at installing mine using driver versions 6.82 and 6.83. The driver setup program is not finding the card so it will not install the driver. Using the Add/Remove Hardware tool from Control Panel and directing it …

Matrox card questions

Posted on 2021-03-16, 16:07

Hi guys, I found a couple of Matrox cards in one of my boxes and looking for some information. I've searched here and in Google and so far not finding much. First card is a 32MB G550 low profile PCI (G55MDDAP32DBF). In Matrox's archived drivers list the G400 drivers for Windows 98 lists G550 as …

Re: Win95c - OpenGL not working with Voodoo3

I solved the OpenGL problem. After finding the following thread here https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=51511 I checked my System32 folder and found 3dfxogl.dll as well as an opengl32.dll left behind from another video card. I removed the opengl32.dll, then made a copy of 3dfxogl.dll renamed to …

Win95c - OpenGL not working with Voodoo3

Posted on 2021-02-11, 03:19

Hi guys, I've encountered a problem on my K6/233 machine. I have Windows 95c with a PCI Voodoo3 2000. The driver is version 1.07 WHQL downloaded from falconfly. Everything has been running fine for a while playing some non-3D Windows games, and some DOS games in DOS mode. I finally tried to add some …
