Which memory configuration do you have? For the 8 MB model, no update is necessary.
For the 4 MB model:

Version 1.62 appears to be the latest (as of 1999):

That's a good bit of detective work. 😀 Looking at that old archived diamond mm webpage, there's something "pleasing on the eye" about it - it has a nice and simple retro 90s look to it. The links don't work, which is a nuisance, but finding the filenames to these updates and patches is more than half the battle.

Yeah I always went to their site back in the day for support since I own a bunch of Diamond products. Always simple to navigate through, never anything overly flashy. I often refer back to their old pages in case I need to look up some info on their classic products, since such info is long gone from the current site.

I miss the old Diamond. Too bad S3 killed them off. The new one just doesn't have that vibe of innovation and uniqueness that the old one was known for.

Here's the generic nVidia drivers for Riva 128 cards. They may or may not be better than OEM drivers.

thanks guys!

i found the 1.82b revision at ftp.tcrc.edu.tw/Hardware/Diamond/display/viper/viper_v330/flash182b.zip
but.. what the hell someone put a 486 and a riva 128 togheter? nonsense!! its a waste of vga. riva 128 only realize its full potential with pentium II class machines.

nonsense - the riva128 is one of the most top DOS performers ever built.
however thx for the new BIOS =)

It's my vga of choice as well 😊

Can this bios be used for both agp and pci riva128 cards?

I think that that doesnt matter, this bios is only for 4MB cards.. I think 8MB versions came later and had the right updated bios from manufacturer. If it was specifically for AGP / or PCI they already had mentioned on there website.
