I have never owned a 840av, but I own a number of this card (a
PrecisionColor 8-Xj), which I like, but probably not for the reason
most think.
It only does 256 colors, but it does do screen sizes up to 1152x870.
The reason I like it is, it is accelerated and the s/w works for OS 6
:-)

You will not be impressed without the s/w, but it's a cheap card that
works very well in a Mac IIci running OS 6.
Other cards from that period seem to offer more colors but on smaller
screens. Personally I like to run as big a screen as possible, the
restricted range of colors not generally being a problem with early s/w
and games, and generally being faster anyway. In the case of the Mac
IIci using a video card rather than built in video gives you back some
ram as a bonus.
It probably won't outperform the built in video of a 840av, but let me
know, offline, if you decide not to use it as I'm sure I'll find a use
for it.
Cheers,
John
