Can anyone get more specific? Reply 1 of 13, by eL_PuSHeR So, if you were to looking to maximize compatibilty with the later DOS titles that require support Super VGA and VESA (or gain noticeable advantages with those cards), which video cards would you look for? Brand names of note I have heard include Hercules, Trident, ATI and Diamond Multimedia. A later game that supports VESA may not be playable with an Super VGA card, even though it has the framebuffer and RAMDAC to support the game's resolutions. I'm sure there are some VESA 3.0 cards that don't do so well with 1.0 or 2.0. A video card that supports a VESA specification, whether 1, 2, or 3 may not work for an older game that supports Super VGA. I know that just because you have a video card with a Megabyte of Video RAM doesn't necessarily mean it will support 800圆00 (I know of few DOS games that get above does VESA fit into the mix. ![]() It has been a long time since I have tried Super VGA-specific games, and I wonder how picky they tend to get about the video cards they support. Companies advertised but compatibility was by no means assured. Unlike regular VGA, Super VGA did not have a set of standard resolutions and color depths.
