I have a Trident 8900D with the TKD 8001 DAC. Id there a way to know if I have the 16 bit or the 24 bit version?

Thanks

Get PCPBENCH for DOS and run it as:

PCPBENCH /MODES

It will list supported VESA modes. Then you can test the modes with:

PCPBENCH XXX (XXX being the VESA mode number listed before)

Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

According to the datasheet I found, TKD8001 supports up to 24-bpp.
Are there TKD8001 variants limited to 16-bpp ?

PC Player Benchmark doesn't list nor support the 24bpp VESA video modes. I would suggest using VESACHK instead for that purpose and run it like this:

In the list, BP is bits per pixel.
