I'm looking for a new video card and was wondering if some of you could give
me some advice on witch cards are the best over all cards.  And who makes
the  Rendition cards ?  any info would be greatly helpful.

Hi Planker.
 For SimRacing.Rendition is without a doubt the best video card to get.Plus
 with the new V2x00 cards coming out,Its also the fastest 3D card.But even
 though Im a diehard Rendition lover.I cant rule out 3Dfx.Upcoming Ubi F1 will
 be 3Dfx native(But will have Direct 3D so you can use your V2x00 and probly
 still get 30fps).My advice is,Save up lots of cash.About 400$(Sounds like
 alot,but it will be worth it)Then when the Rendition V2x00 is released,Go out
 and buy an 8meg V2200.(Or if you want to spend less,Get a V2100.A scalled down
 version of the V2200(Less ram capcity,No TV out,blah blah blah.)For 119$!)and
 a Pure 3D(3Dfx).Im in a hurry so I'll just leave you with a few links
Rendition cards:
(Canopus)Total 3D http://www.total3d.com
(Sierra)Screamin 3D http://www.sierra.com
(Miro?)
Creative labs 3D Blaster PCI(Ive tried this card and its not near as fast as
 the Sierra or canopus card)www.soundblaster.com
