Up for sale is an exceptionally clean, beautifully preserved vintage S3 Trio64V+ 32-Bit PCI Graphics Card (Main Chipset Model: 86C765). Fabricated in late 1996 (Component Date Code: 9640), this legacy video card features a single external 15-pin female VGA interface output port and standard 32-bit PCI motherboard connectivity.
The S3 Trio64V+ architecture is widely celebrated by legacy computer builders as the single most stable and cross-compatible 2D graphics framework ever engineered. Featuring flawless hardware register mapping for MS-DOS VESA graphics modes, it serves as the premier choice for vintage system builds (486, Pentium, Pentium II) to run classic mid-90s PC gaming titles natively without graphical artifacts or texture glitches.
This card features high-speed onboard EDO video DRAM (utilizing reliable Texas Instruments TMS45160 DZ chips) alongside two open SOJ memory expansion sockets mounted directly along the top edge rail. This allows retro hardware hobbyists to easily drop in extra memory chips to expand total video memory capacity for higher resolution depth configurations inside Windows 95 or Windows 98.
