In regards to my previous post asking about other graphics card:

GeForce 6200 PCI for Win9X / ME gaming? (DOS / Win9X / ME Games)

is Savage IX: Any good for DOS / Win9X gaming?

The card in my possession has TV out function as well.

Thanks in advance!

It can play 90's games. Like so many so much faster cards.

It can, but late Savage cards have certain problems with DOS games.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Comparable to Rage Pro 128, or TNT2, or any GeForce?

At low resolutions it will. And IIRC it does not support S3TC .

Yes, at higher resolutions it is slower than Savage3D in some games

You can't expect too much from laptop graphics chip working on tight TDP budget.

I just found a screenshot from Quake3 driver info, Savage IX support "GL_S3_s3tc" extension. So it support S3TC in OpenGL?

Hm, I tried Q2 and Unreal demo maps and they work OK. Good for Savage to have some consistency.
