Does GPL support glide or D3D or both?

by **Joe Marque** » Sun, 27 Jun 1999 04:00:00

Glide and rendition I believe. There is an Open GL beta patch that works
okay but Glide is the best.

Hmmm, thanks. :-) Not good though since I have a TNT. How's the OpenGL
performance?

no where near that of the voodoo or rendition boards

Uh, that's just not true. I'm running a Leadtek TNT card at 1024X768 on my
Celeron 400 (oc'ed to 450), and get a steady 28-33fps with mirrors updating
every fourth frame (this is the hack to make up for what the TNT drivers are
lacking in OpenGL optimization). For hotlapping, in particular, the TNT
works great, and it saves me a PCI slot (which I put a MX300 board into).

gpl supports out of the box, software (duh) 3dfx and rendition..

with the opengl patch tnt card users can play it at lower framerates...(but
MUCH better than without :)

no d3d

Uh, yeah it is because I have a Rendition 4mb (Diamond Stealth 2 S220) that
will run 36fps all the time (by myself) on a bone stock PII-350 with an SB16
ISA card. I'd like to see your card do that with only 4 megs

How the game performs in a full race with OpenGL? Especially, on my

No offense, but I wouldn't OWN a 4mb graphics card - I also do a lot of
graphics and animation under NT on the same machine, and I need a good
OpenGL card for the animation software. The TNT is the best compromise
single-board solution, and I needed the single board because I'm short on
PCI slots. If I had another slot, I might have a V2 installed as well.
