My question is as follows ;
Q1) What is the best Nubus Card for an Apple Macintosh IIci that can drive an Normal SVGA monitor @ 640 x 480 via an Apple to SVGA Adapter ?
I know this is Old Technology, but would appreciate any advice.
The best NuBus video cards are the Radius Thunder IV GX series (T IV GX 1152, T IV GX 1360, T IV GX 1600, and Radius Thunder 24/GT) and the Villagetronic Macpicasso 340. Those two have slightly different strengths but are pretty much tied for overall performance. Unfortunately, they're likely to be rare and expensive.
Perfectly serviceable cards amongst the last generation of NuBus video cards (and therefore usually more compatible and faster than earlier generations) are the Radius Precision Color Pro series (XP, XK and something else) and the E-Machines Futura II SX or LX. Note that the Pro and the II in the names are essential as there was a previous generation of each without the respective suffixes which were older, slower and less compatible.
To further complicate matters, sellers in the used market often don't know what they have and may omit the Pro or the II from the name when it should be there--or occasionally add it to the name when it shouldn't but the latter is more rare.
There are other good cards but those are the good ones with which I am familiar.
