Hey, I have a trident 3Dimage early AGP card, with SVideo and VGA with also Video out, it seems to also be a capture card, maybe or just over video out. Though from what I can see, it seems to have a special adapter port on the board for maybe a female IDE cable, for captures? I'm also guessing it's 4mb video ram, because there are 4 chips on the board which I am guessing are 1mb each, it came out of a generic gateway clone, tower win95

Wow...I ended up getting a shitty 4mb graphics card that craps its pants whenever you try to play anything more intensive than doom. -_-

Doom isn't just a game, it's an apocalypse survival simulator.

Trident's cards never were known as strong performers, especially their 3D accelerated models.

Yea the 3DImage 9880 (aka Blade3D) and newer can do nice 3D. Previous chips are useless for 3D though.
