N3 - Preferred Video Card

by John Simmo » Mon, 28 Jun 1999 04:00:00

I'll be buying a new video card in September, and I was cursious to hear
what Papy is targetting as far as 3D API's in N3.  Are they going to
support Glide, Direct3D, or OpenGL, or what?

If they're gonna lean heavily on Glide, I'll get a Voodoo3 3500.  If not,
it'll probably be a TNT2 Ultra.

So, if anyone from papy working on N3 is watching, I'd be interested in
knowing (and I'm sure many others here would be interested as well).

Hi,

i ask Sierra for a few weeks the same question, but they said its not
possible yet to give a comment.
All i know at this time is that it will have 3Dfx and D3D Support, NO direkt
Rendition support this time.

I think a Voodoo 3 is not wasted money, so it works great with GPL and i
think it will work great with NASCAR Racing 3.

If you're going to buy a new graphics card for this game, then
why not wait until just before the game comes out? Prices will drop,
more information will be available to help you decide, maybe even newer
versions of the cards for better performance, etc.

Note that this does not answer your actual question, sorry.

Grant.

Well, I'm hoping Papy releases the game in October as planned.  I don't
want to be playing around trying to figure out why my new video card
isn't working while the N3 box is sitting on my desk screaming to be
installed.  I figure September (closer to the end of the month than the
beginning) is a good time to buy a new card.   :-)
