What is "worthiness" for you? Usefulness for retro builds or money? As for the latter, none of these cards have much value.

Fair clarification 😀 actually a bit of everything, basically usefulness and power, and also potential rarity.

Not thinking about selling at this point, but would consider swapping or if someone was particularly interested in something we could always discuss !

It really depends on if they are of any value to you. Your sound card list looks a little bit more attractive to me.

Not every piece of retro hw is collectible.

Personally, I'd recycle these. Perhaps with exception of the G400.

Yeah, fair enough. Some of them I have interest in, and will get them in anyway. I was just wondering if some had something special about them I was not aware of and would have missed!

I would keep the Savage4. If you really will throw it away send it to me.

I would also keep one of the Rage AIW cards with the tuner and VIVO.

The G400 definitely stays. G550 stays if PCI.

The 'shitty' card looks a lot like a Sapphire X300

What do you want from the card?

There are reasons to have almost all the cards in the list.

S3 Trio 3D/2x - Good DOS compatibility, low power and heat.
SiS6326 - Seem more likely to have TV out in a PCI format, that might be needed.
Matrox G400 - Great VGA output quality, Roughtly TNT2 performance on Direct3D Titles. Often Dual monitor
Matrox G550 - Similar to G400.
ASUS V8170/128M - Cheap DX7 card, good compatibility with motherboards and reasonable performance. Dirt cheap on the 2nd hand market. Cooling requirements are not onerous.
ATi RAGE LT PRO, ATi 3D RAGE PRO, ATi RAGE 128 THEATER, ATi RAGE PRO TURBO - More RIva 128/TNT/TNT2 alternatives. Great linux drivers.
S3 Savage4 - S3TC support

Good, thanks for all the nice input.

appiah4, I'm not throwing anything away 😀 I will probably make some tests and benchmarks first. Long-term I'm not sure at this stage, but I'm a hoarder 🤣
