NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 280 PCI GRAPHICS 1080P
The choice here seems to be between 1080p performance and compatibility. The MX4000 was not really good at anything compared to the two others. The 9200SE and NVS280 were the best cards. UT99 is playable in full-HD + full details with 30-50FPS Has a minor issue with EGA games where it has some latency if the game changes the palette (i.e. from magenta/cyan to red/green).Ĭons: Despite the fact that the 3D mark score is similar to the 9200SE, its a lot better at high resolutions.

Has a minor issue with EGA games where it has some latency if the game changes the palette (i.e. Cool even after prolonged use.Ĭons: Its about as slow as the MX4000, but a little better at higher resolutions, although it still feels a bit like a slide show so it hardly matters. Pros: Works with all the games I have thrown at it. Has the same game incompatibility issues as the NVS280, except with VESA line frame buffer (runs build games perfectly). Absolutely useless in UT99 at higher resolutions than 720p. MX4000 (core derived from GeForce 2 / GeForce 4 MX440)Ĭons: Sort of slow.

VGA signal quality is a bit noisy to my surprise. Tested with the newest and oldest compatible drivers but it made no difference. GTA1 graphics are flickering and flashing to a point where its unpleasant to play. Does not work with FIFA 98, FIFA99, FIFA2000, and Ignition - it either shows a black screen or crashes.

Ken Silvermans "NOLFB"-patch fixes this issue for Duke Nukem 3D, but not for Death rally. Allows for smooth full HD game play in games like Unreal Tournament (DX mode only) and Shogo (albeit shogo needs patching before it will work).Ĭons: Does not work with some VESA games that require line frame buffer (i.e. NVS280 (uses the same core as a GeForce FX 5200) The CPU scores were largely identical with each card.
