Obviously Vanta LT.

Rage 128 Pro with 128 bit memory interface should outperform any Vanta easily.

Contemporary benchmarks place the Rage 128 Pro slightly below a full TNT2, so it should outperform the Vanta in D3D and OpenGL:

I'm not sure what you mean by playing in non-3D mode though. Software rendering? In that case the difference between the cards shouldn't really matter as the rendering will be handled by your CPU.

Yes, I mean to say software render! I have read on AnandTech that Rage 128 Pro's overall image quality and color (32bit mode) is sharper/better.

For DOS, Vanta LT would be better. VBE 3.0 support and better performance. Image quality may vary, but I had good experience with reference OEM Vanta LT card.

Thanks. Mine looks like this
Also, for DOS, I only play at 640x480 (and lower) resolution, so I don't think VLB would be a big selling point here for me.

That's Sparkle. Most likely average image quality.

Brand.
