Rendition cards...which one ???

by 131,33, » Mon, 17 Nov 1997 04:00:00

Hello,
  Well after playing ( or trying to play ) CPR demo I've deciced NOT to
buy it and go with the rendition version of  ICR2-CART instead.I don't
have a rendition card yet. I know for sure that I want to pair a Monster
3d card with which ever rendition card I get. Currently I am running a
Matrox Mistake:-) 4mb. My system is P5 166mhz , 48 meg EDO ram , 512 L2
cache , Sound blaster vibra16 , 1.6 gig hd , AI tech pro pc/tv plus pc
to tv converter. I do all of my *** on my TV using the converter.The
Matrox mistake has a utility that allows you to size the picture. This
is a must for pc to tv viewing as I'm using the SVHS port on the tv .
Without this utuility the picture is too large for the screen and
wouldn't you know it...the TV can't be adjusted in  SVHS mode. Also
heard that the 1000 series verite chipset is more compatible with
monster 3d card than the newer 2100(?) series.
 Which rendition card or cards has the screen sizing utility and will
work best with the Monster 3d and will they work within the limits of my
pc to tv converter which only works in 640 x 480 res.
Sreamin' 3d ? Canopus ? Intergraph ? others ???  PLEASE  HELP !!!!

Thanks,
Steve at RXspeed7 racing

Sounds like you would be the perfect candidate for the Canopus
Pure3d/Total3d combo. I have the Intergraph Intense3d Rendition card
and am very pleased with the addition of the Canopus Pure3d/3dfx. The
Canopus Total3d is said to be slightly faster than the Intense3d. Upon
receiving my Pure3d, there was a promo offer included for the purchase
of a Total3d for $149.50 which includes the following:

-Complete intergration w/ Pure3d's TV-out.
-Rendition Verite 2d/3d accelerator
-4 MB EDO DRAM
-Included LCD shutter glasses
-Spatializer 3D stereo post-processor
-5 accelerated games, including MDK: Mission Laguna Beach (works with
the glasses), Descent II: Destination Quartzon 3D (works w/glasses),
Whiplash (full version, works w/glasses), IndyCar Racing II (full),
Quake (shareware).

*Note the TV-out feature(s) when pairing with the Pure3d. I would
checkout www.pure3d.com and give them a call if your interested and
verify pricing for the pair or if the offer is still good after
purchasing just the Pure 3d initially. Note: The downside is the Pure
3d (Aprox. $180) is currently on high demand and may not be available
for immediate purchase.

        The Intergraph Intense 3d 100 uses to original Verite 1000 chip
and I have had many pleasant hours doing exactly what you are talking
about. I run an Orchid Righteous 3D/Intergraph Intense 3D 100 and the  
scan-converter is also an AI-Tech so I know the combo works.
        Have fun, all the best, Mike Davis
