Title: Best GFX Card for Mediator?
Post by: theformula on December 26, 2008, 12:58:23 PM

Hi I just ordered a MEDIATOR 1200LT4 PCI from amigakit with some money I got for christmas. I was wondering which graphics card is recommended by you guys.

For 3d, the Voodoo 3/4/5000 series.  A ViRGE DX based card is cheaper and easier to find, although lagging in 3d (by far!) against the 3dfx based cards.

Voodoo Card is the best option for your mediator.

Yes Voodoo3 3000 16mb is the best, or maybe Voodoo3 3500 with AGP-->PCI converter.

Hi, I'm curious.

I thought the miggy couldn't do 3d? Is this on games, like quake or something?

I must say, I'm very happy with the Voodoo, I managed to get a 5500 which benchmarks a little quicker than the 3000, and have no problems. I couldn't get a 4000 to work though.
