I do have a Quadro 4 900 XGL. I was thinking of putting it up on ebay. Do you think that might be a better option? I'm really looking at getting nGlide at 1600x1200 working smoothly. I think outside of nGlide, the Quadro 4 would do great.

If the only complaint is the noise can't you replace the heatsink and fan on the Quadro?

Thought about it. I think a heatsink for a FX 5900 or 5950 would work. I just have several "free" options.

Vogonswiki has an entry on games which support 8-bit Palleted Textures, although I'd guess its still a work in progress because there's not much there: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_ … texture_support

It was also discussed a lot here: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

I did read those. My main question I guess would be if the card doesn't support the palleted textures (and table fog) does nGlide on its own? Does the card have to? I play games using nGlide on Windows 10 with a RX 580 and they seem to work without issues, FF7 or FF8 isn't one of them. Thief uses a different engine to run in Win10.

For starters, a lot of the major paletted games are UnrealEngine1 based. Any images are required to be a paletted texture as there's no other supported texture format (Besides DXT1 for the s3holes)

Can dgvoodoo2 emulate palatalized textures with shaders?

Does Nglide use palatalized textures if the card supports it? I have always been curious about that.

The 9xxxx like 9600 has support for Nglide in win98? ATi were no good for win98

I beg to differ, especially after what I've learned these past few years getting back into retro. However, I did look down on ATI pretty much religously without a second thought until I got a Radeon 6670 HD but ATI was not AMD (figure out how many years that was). I was a 3dfx fanboy and then a nVidia fanboy. Now in my wise old years, I'm no one's fanboy other than being particular on motherboard brands (ASUS above all, MSI second).

I've kinda put this project on the back burner in favor of a true Win98 PC with a Voodoo 3 3000, P3B-F, P3 933MHz (can only run at 700MHz due to 100MHz FSB) an SB32 CT3670, Vortex2 and Audigy 2 ZS. The missing piece is the Voodoo 1 I have that might be busted. Bought as new-old-stock, pass through works, but as soon as glide loads, I just get a black screen. I've tried several monitors, several boards, several games and nada. Look brand new and the thing just won't work. That is for another day.

Almost all of the games that I would play on this high-end Win98 work fine on my XP pc or in Win10 with new engines. Some games are great in 2560x1080 ultrawide (Wolf3D, Doom games, Duke3d, Tomb Raider 1, etc..

After some headaches with my p3 550Mhz, i moved to a p4 2.2GHz, GF2MX( will be replaced with a fx5500 or 5700LE for Nglide), 32gb sd card and Aueral vortex1 to cover some dos and win games until 2002 era.
For old stuff just a pentium classic. For later xp games , my actual win 10 machine will cover well(I3 6100+ rx 460).
