WHY DOES WINDOWS SAY I HAVE A DELL E207WFP SERIES
I'd love to know if it's true what Wikipedia says about the X800 series haveing VESA 3.0 support.
Therefore you couldn't use VBEHZ and some of the nifty VESA utilities. The Radeons seemed to only go to VESA 2.0, however, and I don't think SDD supported them. The ATI Radeon actually seemed to offer a sharper image in DOS then all the Nvidia cards I tried. I tend to agree that Nvidia is the best solution most of the time, although I haven't tried any of 3dfx's cards past the Voodoo Banshee. Does anyone have a card that actually says it supports Hardware Triple Buffering when doing a scan with SDD's dos vesatest program? This could affect a handful of later games and front-ends, in particular games created with Allegro and ZSNES. This is supposed to be one of the features of VESA 3.0, although it's not mandated that a card supports it from what I can tell. Seems to be best overall, except none I have tried support "Hardware Triple Buffering" according the SDD's test utility. I found on Wikipedia for VESA 3.0 that both Matrox G550 and ATI x800 boards support vesa 3.0, although personally, I like the Nvidia solution. Output looks great on a Lacie Electron Blue IV 22" CRT monitor (rebadged Mitsu 2070) and a Dell E207WFP LCD 20" 1680x1050 DVI monitor. Great card for either DVI or analog VGA connected monitors. 😏 However, the BIOS is editable, *ahem*, if you like like to 'roll your own' and know your way around a table-driven system.
WHY DOES WINDOWS SAY I HAVE A DELL E207WFP CODE
The NVidia 7950GT VBIOS was subject to the removal of the display refresh code which would allow CRTs to display at refresh rates higher than 60Hz with DOS utilities such as VBEHz and UniRefresh, plus the fact that it does not do 15bpp VESA color modes, together, are the reason as to why I gave it a VESA 3.0 (-) compliance level. Now the WinXP (SP2) VGA.SYS does have to be edited so as to allow all of the 32 VESA modes (including all VESA v1.2 4bpp, 8bpp, 16bpp and 32bpp color modes) and 13 VGA/EGA/CGA modes, plus non-standard ModeX to display in the NTVDM, but the results are worth it. Not quite 'state of the art' for the very latest Windows DirectX9/10 games but very good for almost everything else in the Windows (or DOS) world with the correct drivers. 😁 The apex of NVidia VESA 3.0(-) support, the PCI-e v1.0 based BFG 7950GTOC in the 256MB, (or 512MB) DDR3 flavor.
