@howtophil@mastodon.social @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org I must emphasize how much the Virge was never good: it performed worse than software rendering when it was new. Plus I had to flash a modified video BIOS to it to fix a bug in the stock one causing terrible black levels in the video output.
It was just cheap and beloved by OEMs so they could put "has a 3D accelerator" on the box. :ac_laughter:
(It is a pretty decent card for 2D DOS gaming, though.)

@gourd@indieverse.social @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org I'm pretty sure I had a few of that card from "dumpster computers." lol
