Well, I've got the Stealth 64 as stated above. But it has 1meg Dram.
Video Speed: 146 (Before S3SPDUP)
Video Speed 182 (after S3SPDUP)
Not sure why it went from the 181 I had earlier to the 182 this time.
But it is a significant jump from the 146 I had before. But to have a
77...yeeeeuuuuucccckkk!!!!! Hmm I don't know.

At work I tested the game on my pentium 133, 32mb EDO, 2mb ATI Mach64, and from
memory it was something like:
speed: 285
Video: 69
AND ON A 166, same ram and video-
speed: 355
video: 70
I think the consensus is : ATI Mach64 sucks wind in Dos games. Unfortunately,
some applications we use at work don't have drivers for the Matrox, that's what
we did get until we found out they didn't work. Now we order boxes with ATI's
in them. What a shame. I could be flying at work on the 166 with a Matrox!

I cant imagine that the Stealth 64 2 meg VRAM Card is so bad.
What do you think about it?

My Pentium Overdrive 83 Mhz (upgraded from 486/66) with
Diamond Viper VLB 2Meg VRAM gives
CPU speed: 105
Video speed: 27
*Sigh*
Actually, I'm not sure I trust these figures as the game is quite
playable in VGA with several textures on, and even in SVGA with
no textures (and no wrecks in traffic!). Also, I'm sure that the
Pentium Overdrive 83Mhz is at least 50% faster than a 486 (in 32-bit
environemnts).
Still, can anyone recommend a good VLB video card?

Okay everybody, you should probably sit down before I give you the
numbers........ :)
P100, Imagine 128 video
CPU: 193
Video: 28 (!!!!!!) I dare anybody to beat that video score!
The Imagine 128 is a FANTASTIC Windows accelerator, but uses a Cirrus
Logic 5422 for DOS, and is truly awful.
Incidentally, I popped the machine's original video card back in to see
if it made a big difference (expecting that it wouldn't), and discovered
that SVGA was now very playable with Low Detail and most textures off
(all but walls and trackside). I figured that the slow framerate was
mostly due to the P100, but found that even a marginally better video
card (didn't do a log, sorry, but it's just a Cirrus Logic 5434) made a
big difference.
I ordered a Millenium two days ago......can't get here quick enough!

: Stealth 3d won't help with gp2, it doesn't support it. But Nascar 2 is
: supposed to...
But if one is thinking of getting this card for other 3D games, it would
be nice to know how it performs in GP2 and other "normal" DOS
situations.
I know that this is just exactly the type of information that seems to
be lacking when people talk about 3D cards. "Yeah, but what will it do
for me in DOS or Windows?"

So, I think Cyrix kicks ass [but Diamond's kinda lame :( ]
OK, for the record...

It is an S3 chipset but I don't have either of the utilities
spoken about often, so can't say how much they'd improve things.
Where's that free one to be had?

I've got a P166, 32Mb EDO ram, 256Kb pipeline cache, and a
Hercules Dynamite 128.
I only got the Dynamite yesterday - I have a slow Trident 9440
which came with the computer.
Scores I got with the Trident:
CPU: 322
Video: 86 (yuck!)
SVGA, maximum details, fps set to 25.6, starting at the back of the
grid at monaco: occupancy = 390%
With the Dynamite:
CPU: 322 (how odd - no change! :) )
Video: 381
SVGA, monaco, etc. etc: occupancy = 390%
As you can see - THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. f*** this is annoying.
THis, from a card which is supposed to be the fastest DOS card on the
market.
BUt, I am getting sent a new BIOS and set of drivers for it - maybe
that will fix things.

A little but not enough to warrant buying it just for this purpose. It is a
good overall card at a reasonable price though.
