My S3 Savage 4 is severely letting me down 🙁 I've tried everything I can think of to fix it. Everything works (if I lower the AGP to X1 and the Aperture to 8 or 4 - tried 32 as its a 32 meg card - no go.) Except one game (well 8 games, but got fixes for 7 of them.) In that one game, all the graphics load at the top quarter of the screen on top of themselves. The other 7 games were fixed with the font fix, another TSR, but I could have lived with that.
So, off I go to find a replacement, and found one I can't beat the price of (free.) It's an ATI Xpert 2000 Pro. Great card, better benchmarks than the Savage 4, everything worked fine with my Rage Pro before (PCI and only 4 megs, it's gone now.) So everything seems to be looking up. Only there doesn't appear to be any Win3.1 drivers for the blasted thing. I'm getting mixed results on my web searches. Some places say, forget it, you're stuck with VGA or SVGA windows drivers (800x600x8 max.) Other's say a Rage Pro driver (found those for Win3 no problem,) will work fine, you just won't get a lot of the advanced features of the 128 Pro chipset.
Anyone have any experience with this?
