hi
i am on the hunt for a nvida geforce 6800 graphics card 512mb model or best one for win98 - xp rig
if any other best card that has drivers for win98 and xp
If anyone can point me to where i can get one
While I can't point you to a place where you could buy one, I'd recommend avoiding 512MB models since they usually use DDR or DDR2 VRAM instead of GDDR3 which is a lot faster. So, consider looking for a 6800GT with 256MB VRAM instead.
What games are you trying to play by the way? While the 6xxx series is supported in Win98, you have to use newer drivers which may break some older games, so perhaps an older card would serve you better, such as a GeForce FX 5900.
PCIe? Quadro FX4400's are all over ebay for cheap. It's pretty much the same as the 6800 Ultra.

If you softmod it to a 6800 Ultra, it should let you get the win98 geforce drivers installed--I think.
looking for best graphics card to play games from late 90s to 2005/2010 ish
games that need more than what dos-win95 rig has which 133mhz to games that use up to 2.2ghz wth drivers for win 98 to xp as I have modern rig for games from 2010ish to now
Best win98 unofficially compatible cards are GeForce 7xxx series, so 2005-2006 is your limit.
But you can do dual setup with PCI-E and use GeForce PCX 5950 or Quadro FX 1300 for win98 games.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
I thought about dual card setup but would like to keep it using one card
where would I find drivers GeForce 7 cards for win 98 and xp drivers are easy to find
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
would using these drivers have a bad effect in games
Using anything beyond GeForce FX for win98 games is not a good idea in general.

if i can keep it original using original hardware and drivers, if possible
