I paired it in my Athlon 650 MHz with a Voodoo3 3500(the one w/o TV). But it also worked well with VIA Unichrome integrated graphics.
It does not work well with the DirectX hooking of the NVidia drivers.

I think the board/chipset is more important to have a high transfer rate on PCI bursts.

Will it go well with Hercules Stingray 128 (Voodoo Rush, with almost the same performance as Voodoo 1)?
For now i only have one PC operation to use it in, its the one from my signature, dual 430NX chipset.

Here everyone is going to come with their suggestions and they will all be different.

I've personally tested alot of cards with the PowerVR PCX1 and PCX2. There are not that much differences in terms of performance. What you have to be aware of is:

- If you pair it with a geforce card of any type you will only be able to play SGL games on your PowerVR card
- Early SGL games + early AGP implementations on Super Socket 7 boards can cause trouble.
- Early PCI cards (1995 and earlier) generally also can cause trouble or bad performance.

Other than that, I suggest you use a card which produce a good output quality. The Matrox is good for that purpose.

In Tomb Raider, Gona benched the Rendition V2200 to be the fastest card. See attached file.

Your 133mhz will be too slow to play any SGL games in good framerate.

Mine is paired with a Mystique 220, and once I work out some other kinks I'm going to add a VooDoo 2. The CPU is a Pentium II 450.

Seems to work well so far, though I haven't ruled it out as the cause of some instability and game crashes.

I paired with a Voodoo3, works fine.

also as aforementioned the nvidia geforce is a bad choice to use with PowerVR PCX2 because nvidia's drivers are so aggressive they really want to make sure you do it 'the way it's meant to be played(r)'

I see, so it works with pretty much anything. Cool.
Actually the Mystique i have is not the 220 version. Its the original version with 4MB RAM.

Either way the mentioned pre-G200 Matrox cards suck for 3D, they're only good for their 2D and VGA signal and the PowerVR (Matrox M3D included) trumps them, but you do get the advantage of a sharp picture since it passes to host 😀

but then again, you could pair the PCX2 with a later Radeon or any card with DVI that's not a Geforce...

i've noticed it's much slower when paired with onboard video chipsets - at least for SiS anyway, and yes this can even be paired with laptops through PCI docking stations though the bus transfer performance will be very slow.

I don't mind using the PowerVR PCX1 and PCX2 with the Geforce. My main reason to have a PowerVR card installed is to play the PowerSGL games. So I don't mind that the Direct3D capabilites of the PowerVR card does not work with a Geforce card. I have the Geforce and/or a Voodoo card for Direct3D.

Depending on your requirements, using a Geforce to pair with may not be any issue at all.

It does have a use if there's Direct3D games with speed issues that require a naturally slow ~25fps framerate cap (which vsyncing to 60hz can't satisfy), like I76 Gold and Wipeout XL/2097.
