Hi. Recently I've built up a nice Pentium II machine and decided I would try to stick a Rage 128 Pro in there as these cards seem to be rather underrated. I must say I was quite satisfied with VGA image quaility and it's speed. It played everything I tried with it, the only problematic game was UT99 which crashed in Direct3D mode. It was a GOG version so I'm not sure it that was a problem. It could probably be solved with newer drivers.
My biggest problem is it's DOS capabilities. Tried three games - Wolf3D, Doom a Duke3D in VESA 640x480. Wolf3D had problems with weapon sprite flicker, e.g. part of the handgund flickered in and out weirdly. Doom had the same problem, the flickering even occured in main menu and HUD text after picking up items. Duke3D didn't flicker but was vsynced which was pretty annoying.
Any DOS experience with this card? Is is something that can be solved? I would like to use it as my main graphics card but I'm sticking to my trusty TNT2 right now for great compability with everything, DOS or Windows related.
