Not sure if this guy is a member here, but I have watched a couple of his videos and he seems to have a pretty extensive knowledge of graphics rendering and GPU drivers of the early 2000s. I think he said he was a Linux graphics driver developer (possibly at Intel?) back in the day.

For some background you may want to watch his previous video that introduced these 3DLabs Wildcat VP series cards and points out some of their strange limitations and features:

I found this benchmark comparison really cool because few people have bothered to test and analyze the results of these obscure professional cards with half-baked gaming capabilities. He also has a really interesting test set up with an ASrock 939 Dual SATA2.

A while back I came across a VP990 Pro that needs a few repairs to SMD components. I haven't gotten around to fixing it, but it's cool to see someone else playing with one in 2024. 😀
