Where to find STB video drivers

[MustISO]

Now that STB became 3Dfx and 3Dfx is gone, where can you find drivers for the older STB cards? Windrivers.com and sites like that just point to stb.com which doesn't really exist anymore? Any ideas?

My guess would only be to go to the site of the owners of the STB name. Try Nvidia.com and look up drivers there.

See if you can use the reference drivers instead. Much like Diamond, the only chips that STB used were from S3 (SonicBlue or whatever they call themselves now), nVidia and 3dfx themselves.

Which STB card exactly is it?

AndyHui, it's the STB Nitro 3D. I know it's really old but a friend needed the driver.

A driverguide.com search through Windrivers.com turns up two probable matches:

Link 2

The STB Nitro 3D is a 1997 card based on the S3 Virge/GX chipset.

Although Windows should have generic driver support included, you can probably find some better reference drivers at ftp.diamondmm.com (S3 moved all of their reference drivers regardless of where they came from to DiamondMM).
