VFX1
Supported Video Cards
|
|
This document lists video cards and their maximum resolution in
the VFX1. You can view the list in it's entire or select one of
the following to directly this the specified section of this site.
ISA, PCI, VLB,
Misc,
Note: Currently the VFX1 is not supported by any
AGP or 3DFX add-on cards.
- Because specifications
change so rapidly in the video card arena, Interactive Imaging
Systems, Inc. makes NO GUARANTEE that any card on this list will
or will not perform to the listed specifications.
- Manufacturers have
a tendency to change their card's without changing the model number!
Therefore please make a note of the specific chipset used on your
card and on this list.
- If you have information
about a specific card not on this list, or spot an error with
a card that is on this list, please contact IIS
Technical Support.
- Many 3D Video Accelerator
boards are external to the VFX1 and work in conjunction with your
existing video card. Typically the connection is: video card 15-pin
out to 3D Accelerator 15-pin input and then out of the accelerator
again and into your monitor. Since the VFX1 is connected internally
via the VESA Feature Connector, it remains unaffected by that
chain.
- If you have a Television
board or other card/device that uses the VESA Feature Connector,
then you will need to remove their connector to install the VFX1
and consequently switch back again to use the other device when
needed.
The VESA Feature Connector is very timing critical and cannot
be split, spliced or switched.
- It is impossible
for us to test each and every video card available, therefore
we strongly recommend that if you do not see
your video card listed, contact the manufacturer and ask whether
your card has a fully 100% VESA compliant feature connector
{this is not a VESA Driver or SVGA Video driver} capable of 640x480
resolution at 256 colors; many only support 16 colors
at that resolution.
NOTE This may or may not be a problem for you if your card only
goes to 640x480x16 colors:
- It simply means
that you will need to play your DOS games at 320x400x256 resolution,
which in fact virtually every DOS game supports.
- The higher
resolutions will only be required for MS-Windows viewing which
requires a minimum of 640x480x256 @ 60hz.
- Please keep
in mind also that due to the dithering down to the LCD's,
the difference from a game played at 320x400 and one played
at 640x480 is NOT significant; noticeable yes, but not significant.
**NOTE**
Any Card
that uses the S3 Trio64 chip will require a software utility
program to turn on the feature connector. That utility is called
FCON.exe and is available at the S3
FTP site.
If some
of your applications work in 640x480x256 and others do not (Games
like EF200, Duke3D, Quake, and MECH Mercenaries), you probably
need the newest version of the VESA driver for your video card.
Go to SCITECH for the
latest version of Display
Doctor (The new and improved UNIVBE).
