A while ago I put together a 486/66 system to play around with all my windows 3.1 apps I
have used in the past. I was wondering what the fastest VLB video card ever made for
windows 3.1x was. I remember Diamond bragging about its Viper cards back in the day being
the best, but who knows.
Google has allot of information about what the best DOS gaming card was, but not that much
on windows 3.1 (which is what I am interested in).
Also what's the best video intensive benchmarking app to test out cards with?
I have the following cards (and others but they are slower):
Diamond Viper VLB 1mb VRAM
Diamond Viper VLB 2mb VRAM
(while both have the P9000 chip for windows acceleration they have 2
different chips for vga)
Diamond Video 3000 (Stealth 64 Video Vram VLB) 4mb (S3 968 Chipset)
Diamond Speedstar pro VLB 1mb DRAM
Hercules graphite 1mb VRAM (IIT chipset)
Matrox Plus 2mb VLB (early matrox chip and a very long card that has space
for another 2mb vram)
These cards are from the early 90's so it should be on-topic for the list.
