It's not an M64?

Better shots:

"VDC-M64AGP16" seems to indicate a TNT2 M64 with 16MB VRAM.

Is it? I cant find any that match visually.

Welcome to M64! Possibly this was the most varied card produced -- someone else here likely knows better, but safe to say there are /lots/ of M64.

So will any M64 drivers work or am I just pretty much fucked and I should get a better card. 🤣 If the latter what card would you suggest for a Windows 98SE machine running Pentium III 1ghz with 512mb RAM.

Its an nVidia card. Just get whatever Detonator works best with old TNT2 cards and have fun.

Wot 'e said. It's not a terrible card. There's always greater and lesser cards. Here, have gooey details:

Look's like eighter an M64 or Vanta. "NV-777.0" and "M64AGP16" seems to point to it.
It is most likely an TNT2-M64 with 16mb of ram. The misplaced ram chips are to be found on other M64's.
Especially Leadtek Winfast cards... Like this one here.

Honestly, with PCI and AGP cards I just plug them in (observing voltage issues, of course) and get the Vendor ID and Hardware ID.

You could also try Linux for this. Just a quick "lspci" and you'll get a description of all the discovered hardware by ID.

There are also Windows tools do get PCI vendor and device IDs:
PCITree http://www.pcitree.de/
( PCI-Z http://www.pci-z.com/ - no support for Win9x is mentioned)
Some more tools for DOS are linked here: http://www-pc.uni-regensburg.de/hardware/TECHTOOL/ (German, but easy enough to understand, or you can use Google Translate)

That said, TNT2 M64 was my first thought. A bit underpowered for a P3 1GHz, it will probably be the bottleneck for most games. You may have to use lower resolutions. Still, depending on the games you want to play it may be totally adequate. A GF2MX would be a better match, maybe even something faster.

Also you can, at least on some motherboards, hit the Pause key just after the POST screen to make the system wait on the Configuration Table. A list of PCI Devices should be present at the bottom, just above where the "Starting MS-DOS..." text would appear. I use this one a lot when boards has onboard devices I can't identify, for example, Ethernet built into the chipset. All you then have to do is check the IDs on the net, such as here.

Or looking it up at this place too:

Look's like HighTreason came before me, as I did not look at the link he posted.
