I've been looking for a PCI card with DVI to run some older windows games. The FX5200 128-bit is something I can find for reasonably cheap on ebay, but 128-bit, PCI and DVI together has proven a hard find. The ones from China that Philscomputerlab reviewed seemingly don't really have DVI ports, only DVI-A actually works through them based on youtube comments. I need PCI because I don't have AGP these days and I want to run it as a passed through device to a VM on my main PC.
So I'm looking at other options. I noticed the Quadrio NVS 280 uses the NV34GL chipset and actually is supported by some older drivers.
I guess the question is: How close to a FX5200 128-bit is this? It seems like the clock speeds are a bit different. I can find DVI+FX5200+64bit easy enough but the NVS 280 is about the same price. I already own a DMS-59 to dual DVI adapter.
