Where i can find original (or some best) driver for this PCI card and win95?

I try driver from vogons

http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1077&menustate=0

Only they work,but with them i got this screen on startup,and some poor performance in 3dmark 99

Thanks 😀

If you use mostly win9x you can use that TNT(2) PCI card. I will always go for matrox mystique 4MB with rr-addon.
Then you get excellent OS/2 Win3x/NT/9X and Amithlon support. The drivers are escellent! the cards are very well
produced and have great image quality. If you want 3D go and get a voodoo1 in it. That would be my choice.

Nvidia TNT is much faster indeed has lot's of great 3D feautures but I would choose MGA-MYS.

Until now i use matrox mistique 4mb,and yes have super image quality but some poor performance with most 3d games (in 1997-1999 period)....because i buy riva tnt2 vanta PCI...

Voodo1 and voodo 2 have insane prices,because it not option...

Ok, that's a point. MGA is a fast 3D very early accelerator and there are some great games that support it directly in D3D or MSI.
B ut you are right talking about D3D with filtered textures you are better of getting an additional voodoo1 or another card.

Mystique was hardly any good even in games that had support for it. Lack of filtering is one thing, PS1 aesthetics is all the rage after all, but horrendous alpha is inexcusable. If not for that, it would have been an ok choice even now.

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