Title: Recommendations for PCI Video Card?
Post by: rerstad on February 15, 2005, 09:27:59 am

My built-in video card apparently doesn't support hardware stretching (some games will not run full screen and when I try to select hardware stretch in Mame32 as a test, the option is grayed-out).

I  want to install a new card that will support hardware stretching and maybe rotation.  It needs to be a PCI card.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the eVGA nVIDIA GeForce MX4000 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-217&depa=1) fits that bill.

mame was developed using ATI drivers and the machines i've built.. i've had great success with a ATI 3D Rage II+ card. they'll even power run an arcade monitor.

and for the price, even at buy it now... you cant go wrong.

I don't think they support hardware rotation, though.
