Need help identifying an AGP video card

Hi all,

I've got a 16mb AGP video card that I can't seem to identify. I checked
driver guide and unless I am overlooking it I just find what this card is.

I'm needing a Windows 98SE driver.

Here is what is on the card.

Label
90272889
Bios Ver: V1.00.07
DA911-11914-0399 Made in Taiwan


EON on a chip

DA911
10000 Written on Card

Has a heatsink but no fan on it.

It comes up with 3DFX Interactive on the screen when it boots

Any help anyone?

Thanks,
Jim
 
Hi SKORPI0,

You are right on the money. That is the exact card
that I have!

I'll give those drivers a shot and see how it goes.
I'll report back soon.

Thanks!

Jim
 
Ouch a banshee, I'm not sure I would bother trying it. It was a buggy mess back in the day, it can't be much better now.
 
Okay as I said I would report back and here is what I see.....

The video card installed and didn't warn me that Win98se didn't
like the drivers when I installed it (that's an improvement) but
when you go into display properties it shows 16 color
and 640 x 480 but the colors are good and its actually 800 x 600
(according to what the desktop looks like). You can open the setting
window and change it to 32bit but it doesn't make any difference and
if you slide the slider over to 800 x 600 it changes it to 16 color and you
click the apply button and it doesn't do anything.

Is this card locked into 32bit 800 x 600 automatically?

Thanks,
Jim

Check here for newer drivers.
 
if it's voodoo 3 based your not going to get 32bit color. a large part of the reason everyone stopped buying their stuff.
good luck
 
Yes, I remember reading a quote from 3dfx ages ago that they didn't support 32 bit color because they thought it was unecessary.
They actually snubbed nvidia for going ahead (prematurely) introducing mainstream 32 bit color support at higher resolutions.

Looks like 3dfx was destined to die with those in charge lacking much foresight.
 
Maybe.......the funny thing is that in windows 98se
it shows the options of the slider to adjust resolution
and color but the apply button doesn't activiate so
you're locked into what ever the settings are which
are probably 16bit and 800 x 600.
 
Just goto VooDoo Files and if your using Windows 98, download the 1.04.00 Win95/9/ME drivers.

I used to run a banshee for about two years after they were released. The were quicker than a single V2 in Direct3D (single texture) but slow in OpenGL (multi texture) due to it missing one TMU. that was their only fault. They weren't "buggy" cards. I had no problems with mine, and it is still working in an old P200 MMX system today. A Banshee was a bit slow, but definately not buggy.
