Hi all,
New to the forum. My first post here 😀
I'm planning a build of what would be the ultimate PC in 1995 (limiting myself to 1995 or earlier hardware, but going for the best). I plan to play games from as early as mid-80's (Sierra, Lucasarts) all the way through to 1995 (Full Throttle, Phantasmagoria). I don't plan to do any 3D gaming, more 2D and FMV/CD-ROM games at most. I may not bother with Windows and just do MS-DOS 6.22.
My question is this: given the above, what would be the best graphics card? So far, based on my research, it seems like an S3 968 may make the most sense, but wanted to get everyone's take on these other options:
S3 968 vs:
1) S3 Trio 64V+ or UV+
- Wasn't sure what the pros/cons of these cards are vs S3 968 given my gaming plans
2) Matrox Millennium (MGA-2064W)
- Seems like it had some compatibility issues...
3) Number Nine Imagine 128
- I was only considering more as a lark because the 8MB version was the ultimate graphics card in '95 @ $2000 USD...but seems like DOS was an afterthought on it...
Definitely open to other recommendations and thoughts. Thanks in advance!
