I have a Rage 128 Pro 32MB PCI (Diablotek VAR 128-32P) card that won’t install windows 98 drivers using the latest drivers from AMD website or any other drivers from the vogons driver library. I get an error saying my video card is not supported with the drivers.
So instead, I’m able to force the drivers to install by updating the drivers and “have disk” option to search within the drivers folder. When I do that I get a list of all kinds of rage cards, all in wonder cards, and rage fury pro, but None of the options are my actually Rage 128 pro PCI card. The Rage Fury Pro driver option does install and seems to work good, but I just want to make sure I’m getting the most out of the video card and not losing any performance from using the rage furo pro driver.
pci.exe says:

Device 5050h: Rage 128 PP/Pro PCI (TMDS)
*A note for others who might get one of these cards and may come accross this post. There’s like 6 surface mounted capacitors (22uF 6V) and I was having trouble with the picture till I replaced those caps. Might be a common problem. I was getting a glitchy picture with what looked like distortion. Replaced the caps and its crystal clear now
