What driver did you used ?
81.98 is officially latest driver for NV stuff : https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/11
It should support both AGP and PCIe cards up to that point. Alternative would be trying beta 82.69 driver (not sure if it works under Win95)
But more importantly :
What version of 95 are you using ?
Any patches were applied (if so which ones) ?
Win95 needs patches to work properly on modern hardware.

@agent_x007
Win95 on Haswell, 8 GB RAM - error Insufficient memory...

I found out that the PCIe ATI X300 works under Win98 and there are Win9X drivers so maybe it will also work on Win95:

I ordered:

The ATI drivers will install under Windows 95, but you might only get 2D and DirectX 3D to work. OpengGL on drivers newer than Catelyst 3.4 have Windows 98 dependencies.

OK, thanks for the information 😀
I found your post where you write about it in detail:
Re: ATI Radeon 9200 AGP card in Windows 95?

I will test everything as soon as I receive a parcel with the ATI X300 card 😀

Hi. Recently, I tried to use the GeForce 6200 card but there are problems.

Does anyone use Win95 or Win98 with the PCI Express card?

I use a PCI-E Geforce 7900GS in a P4 running Windows ME.

F..k, no any driver works - only 16 color 640x480 🙁
I tried wme-radeon-7-88-030430m-008946c-efg.exe but installer not see card. Manual install no X300, after select first on list ALL-IN-WONDER 9000 and Secondary after restart still only 640x480
wme-8-03-98-3-050117a-021000e.exe - setup.exe detect card X300, install driver and panel but after restart still 640x480 and ATI2EVXX.EXE + ATIPTAXX.EXE + ATI2S9AG.EXE twice errors - fu.k, fu.k, fu.k 🙁

I tried DVI and DSub cable.
I tried Omega 2.6.37 driver but error no DirectX 9

Catalyst 3.1 wme-7-83-030120a1-007448c.exe also not work.

@gelip

Try Catalyst 6.2 - last ATI driver for win9x.

I tried 6-2_wme_dd_cp_30314.exe, install OK but after reboot only 640x480 16 color, possible select e.g 32-bit 1024x768 but after restart still 640x480 16 color and error display.
When Win95 starting, I have an error all the time with incorrect screen settings - I would set any resolution:

Obviously test in another OS to ensure it's a working card. I have an X300 that works well on a supported OS until you launch 3D and then it freezes, so maybe they're just shit cards. Looks like you bought the 64 bit version by the way, not that it matters for Windows 95 probably.

@Gelip

I think the card might be faulty, are you able to recap the card?

Yes, 4 PCIe configs with Win98 SE. It works. PCIe cards: 7900GTX, 7800GTX, 7900GS, 6800GS, 6600GT.
Driver: 82.69 and 81.98. I haven't been able to install the 7800GTX on an X299 machine under 98 yet, but I'm experimenting with it. It's interesting because it runs fine on a Zen2 machine.

@DarthSun
But I have 6200

@vvbee @Duffman
I did a card test in WinXP 32-bit (also WinXP 64-bit) on the same computer PC1 and in two others - using driver 10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc.exe from official AMD site:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/driv … 3xx-series.html

PC1: Asus B85M-E (where I have Win95) in both PCIe x16 slot
PC2: Asus J1800I-C in PCIe x1 slot - yes, this motherboard has a through x1 slot (open end)
PC3: ThinkPad X220 over ExpressCard connector using EXP GDC adapter
Monitor: LG 1920x1080 over DVI-HDMI cable from ATI X300

In all PC's, the driver installs without a problem and the desktop works in the 1920x1080 monitor native resolution (I previously install the NET Framework 2.0 because it is required by CCC)

I use for testing:

• dxdiag 3D test
• demo from ATI 9700 - ATI-9700-DebevecRNL-Demo-v1.1.exe
• Need For Speed 3 (folders FEDATA & GAMEDATA from ISO + nfs3_modern_patch_v1.6.1.7z default working in nglide)
• 3DMark2001SE.exe
• screen saver 3D Canyon

All tests in 1024x768 32-bit

PC1 - Here, after starting the tests, the screen freezes and the computer does not respond to the keyboard

PC2 & PC3 - All tests go OK 😀 However, the screen froze once when I started 3D Canyon screen saver but in 1920x1080 32-bit

On mine heavily downclocking the core or memory would delay the freezing by ten seconds or so. Recapping did nothing and the one regulator I measured for voltage was fine. I'm fairly sure it's just a bad card but maybe they don't like newer faster systems then. This was on an AM2 board but x16.

I have been testing several dozen minutes again in 3DMark in 1024x768 32-bit on ASUS J1800I-C (WinXP 32-bit) and everything OK.
Maybe the card simply does not work only on some motherboards?

EDITED

I played in the NFS3 (1 round 2 laps), saved the replay, start playing replay and leaving the computer. After about an hour I come back and everything fine - the replay is still played in NFS3 😀 😀

It is not possible for this card to be damaged.

@gelip

Regarding the Asus B85M-E system - does installing the chipset drivers help at all?

But what drivers? There are no Win9x drivers but they are not needed for anything. I only install dummy (NULL) drivers I made own so that there is order in the Device Manager, e.g. SM Bus Controller, Intel Manageability (MEI) or USB Controller

@gelip

On your XP install on the Asus B85M-E system install the Intel Chipset Driver from the ASUS website and then install the graphics card drivers.
Just want to check if chipset drivers make any difference.

@Duffman
But what are chipset drivers? Intel drivers only change the name in the Device Manager and move devices to the System devices section - they do not use any .VXD, .SYS or .DLL files because these are zero drivers (Null Drivers) - they are not really needed for anything.
Look at this - this is the Haswell.inf from ASUS website from the Intel_Chipset_WinXP_VER9401016.zip - this is NO_DRV drivers - only change name in Device Manager:
https://pastebin.com/AaT8s0p5

machine.inf file is from Windows drivers - not from Intel 😀

Anyway, see what Intel writes at the beginning of the Haswellsystem.inf from chipset drivers for Win10 (AIMB-786_Chipset_Win10(64bit)_10.1.17968.8131.zip)

@gelip

I see, so that won't do anything then.

Have you got any other graphics card to try in win95?
