Nice video, Phil.
Comparing your results of tested VGA cards, i come across over your selected resolutions for this test.
All values are shown in 32bit... and you compare also with the V3-3500. Isn't it (from 3dfx products), that V4 and V5 only are able to render 32bit... 😊
Maybe there's a remark, hint or a (*) useful that you've tested it with 16bit?

Depends what you mean, but TNT is DirectX6, quoting from Wikipedia "It added a second pixel pipeline, practically doubling rendering speed, and used considerably faster memory. [...] it also added support for a 32-bit (truecolor) pixel format, 24-bit Z-buffer in 3D mode, an 8-bit stencil buffer and support for 1024×1024 pixels textures. Improved texture filtering techniques, partially assisted by newly added trilinear filtering, dramatically improved image quality compared to the TNT's predecessor."

This is for anyone complaining about retro parts being to expensive.
> It doesn't have to be Asus, 3dfx and Co
Because a lot of people complained that I always use parts that cost a fortune I made a 3 part series building the cheapest Windows 98 Gaming PC possible.
In the videos I look for parts on ebay and we piece together a Socket 754 board (NIB for 12 bucks!), Sempron 2800+, 512 MB, 80 GB SATA and a Radeon 9550 AGP card. Onboard sound will do.
The first video shows the build. The second video has benchmarks of the onboard GPU as well as the Radeon. HDD performance, BIOS options, drivers and more are discussed. The last video is all about the game, showcasing games from 1996 to 2001 with surprising results.

Part 2: https://youtu.be/bYkv8zCfpuM
Part 3: https://youtu.be/zNMeH7G1KW8
Bottom line: There is so much hardware out there that you can get for little money, or even free if you are willing to think outside the box and not fixate on certain parts.
What's retro gaming like on a $79 tablet PC?
I was actually amazed at the value. Highlight is the 8" IPS screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution. This has some benefits:
1600 x 1200 4:3 resolution pixel perfect
800 x 600 resolution pixel perfect
DOSBox / ScummVM 320 x 200 games scale pixel perfect
The Z8300 has a much stronger GPU compared to the previous version.
The screen has awesome black levels, great viewing angles.
What's not so good:
Couldn't find a way to charge and use USB accessories at the same time
Storage space not enough, had to use a Micro SD card

There are USB power injectors that allow simultaneous use of OTG.
All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder
Yes, the OTG driver has to properly sense the configuration.
