What videocards are good and what are bad. Because Supaplex has problem with smooth horisontal scrolling sometimes.

I noticed, that Cirrus cards are pretty mutch trouble free, so are S3.

But ATI cards are giving problems.

Does somebody have experience with playing Supaplex with different systems?

supaplex won't be helped by univbe. Different videocards have different times for when they read specific registers to output the next frame which gives timing issues in certain games.

I can confirm that riva128 based cards work fine with Supaplex (infact I haven't found any game giving trouble, they are like s3 cards in terms of compatibility!)
