I've got a Nvidia tnt2 32mb pci and an onboard SiS630 (64 mb shared memory, AGP 2.0) video adapter, does anyone have experience with these two? i tried installing the SiS card and it didn't seem to do very well compared to the TNT2, even though its old and pci. I thought it might be drivers but haven't been able to find a good one. If someone could give me some insight on which adapter would be better, because one obviously sounds better than the other with it being APG, but doesn't seem to function better and functions in fact worse, but i thought it could be user error. thanks all you helpful people in advance for your replies.
 
I had onboard SIS530 graphics (I think they are similar to yours) and they were really horrible.
I think your TNT is probably better.
 
The SiS630 was outdated when it was introduced back in 1999. It was supposed to be competition to the original i810 integrated graphics, but it really didn't even live up to that. It's a relative of the really poor performing SiS300.
 
so basically even though the tnt2 is more outdated, it still whips the SiS i take it. i was trying to install a Geforce 2 card on this motherboard and it doesn't seem to like it, the screen would just go black and that was the end of it, no bios to pci settings worked and it would still cancel out the onboard video. Anybody know of a compatability issue between an amptron pIII-3758TLM 7.0 and the geforce card or how to remedy it for sure?
 
with my 1.4 ghz celeron 100mhz fsb w/ 512 sdram and tnt2 playing Counter-Strike i get a frame rate mostly in the 23 - 33 frames per second range, and that just does not cut it. Now, on my girlfriend's 697 mhz celeron 66mhz fsb w/ 256 sdram with the geforce 2, i'm getting anywhere from 45 - 60 frames per second, which is fairly tolerable. :( :confused:
 
I have my old 60mhz 486 sitting next to me with a rage 128 16mb AIW card. Thats about the only good about it. the rage 128 was an awesome card. Oh, i also added 256mb worth of simms. :p gotta love this 540mb WD hdd tho.. mmmm old school...
