Best 3dfx card?

by EDavid41 » Sun, 30 Aug 1998 04:00:00

Hello

I have a P-200MMX with 64 meg of ram.  I was wondering which card would you
recommend for a system for this.  The games that I normally play are NASCAR
Racing 2, TOCA, and GPL (when it comes out :0).

I have the Voodoo Rush card....its ok but it wont run GPL in 3dfx mode (SVGA is
MAJORLY SLOOOOWWW).  And I can't enjoy any Rendintion graphics in ICR2 or
NASCAR Racing 2.  A friend of mine gave me a Screemen 3d card from
Sierra....NASCAR RAcing 2 is VERY choppy,,and as in terms of ICR2, I have the
original ICR2 that was made for Win 95, and it won't run in Rendition graphics.

Any help would be appreciated!!

You have the Screamin' 3D installed?
Are you running the RENDDMA when you run NASCAR Racing?
I ask, because N2 should be flying on your system with the Screamin'
3D. Consistent mid 20's with almost all details on.
I have a Screamin' 3D in my second computer, a 166 w/o MMX, and it
delivers smooth framerates.

If you're getting a Voodoo1 card, my pick at this point would be the
cheapest one you can find.
Best Buy had Diamond Monsters for 89 bucks and a 30 dollar mail in
rebate. I thought that was a pretty sweet deal.

As long as you haven't a CPU >266 get a REAL 3dfx-card (Voodoo I). If you
plan to upgrade your system you should think about buying a Voodoo II...

Also, man mailt sich...
