I've been told it is probably the Viper 770. Does anyone have any experience
with this card and N2/Ten/NROS????

Viper V770 will be TNT2 - it'll do Direct3D, and OpenGL.  But not Glide
(3dfx).  Will do not one thing for N2 or NR99, which use Glide and RRedline
(Rendition) for 3D support.  It will sort-of run GPL, with a beta Open GL
patch (may work better if the driver is better than for the TNT).  With N3
being based on GPL, this may or may not be an issue down the road.

But not the card to get for 3D in N2/NR99.

a tnt2 is not 3dfx compatible..

the TNT2 supports , DirectX, Opengl
the Voodoo (series of chips, including voodoo3) support DirectX, Opengl, and
Glide

so the TNT2 is compatible with 3dfx.. in directx and opengl, but NOT Glide

hope that answers your question

Adam,

All 3dfx cards use Glide. GLide is property of 3dfx.  Supports Glide,
Opengl, and Direct3d

TNT- Nvidia, supports Direct3d and Opengl , but NOT glide.
