The rendition verite v1000 is slow in dos or at least in a dos window from 98.

But are there more common cards that are similarly slow?

I assume Trident ISA cards would be one but are there other PCI cards than the rendition that give slow dos performance?

the rendition1000 is not "slow in dos", its just slow in certain video modes(probably called "mode x"), which are used by doom and probably a few other dos games. but well, its overall 2d performance is subpar after all.

Fair enough - on reading about the rendition, it looks like mode X may well be what I mean.

So - are there any pther PCI cards slow at mode X?
