You guys have really "new" cards with VRAM larger than system RAM of many Pentium-class motherboards can handle. The latest PCI video card I have is a Gainward CARDEXpert SG4, featuring S3 Savage4 Pro with 16 MB RAM. Currently working on my Asus TXP4.

I remember the last new AGP card I bought, a Radeon HD 3650, was already difficult to find in late 00's; new PCI video cards were almost nonexistent back then.

Another interesting buy. I bought two of these:

They work perfectly on my P1 build. I was hoping they will, because they are basically the same as Repo Man11's FX5500:
Re: Post the fastest video card you own that works in a 5v pci slot on 586

But they have a DVI which is exactly what I need. One of the most interesting things about these cards they don't have PCI bus switches populated (as other FX5200 PCI cards have). It looks like some FX5200 GPU (probably late) revisions supported PCI natively.
