Incidentally this is the same driver that someone else used with an RTX 5060 Ti: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/enthusiast-ins...

It's good to see that the latest GPUs can still be used in "dumb framebuffer" mode, are mostly VGA-compatible, and have VESA VBE support. I suspect AMD / NVIDIA might still have some sort of DOS-based factory tooling when bringing up new GPUs for the first time. In sadder news, I've read that the latest Intel integrated GPUs no longer have a VBIOS and are UEFI-only; although it might only be a matter of time before someone vibe-codes (vibe-ports?) one based on those from an older model.

BIOS support has indeed been dropped from modern video cards. I was hoping something like https://github.com/CSMWrap/CSMWrap might work, but the README says that MS-DOS games don't work under that.

Now I’m wondering if someone could write a 3dfx Glide driver for hardware acceleration of late-period DOS games on RTX 5060 Ti.
