Well, I've never seen CPR with or without 3DFX, so I cannot comment on
that. However, the fact that you had to download a patch indicates that
the game wasn't originally designed for the Voodoo Card. NHL98 is
designed for 3D accelerators including 3DFX. I have a similar setup to
yours, a Pentium 200MMX, Millenium 2, Pure 3D.. All of the games I have
played, played well. Frame Rates increased dramatically. What API is
the CPR game using? Direct 3D, OpenGL, 3DFX's Glide?
