I can't find anywhere to explicitly select a 3dfx driver.

Found it. Note that you can also select Meduim resolution (i.e.,
512x384) which gives a nice frame-rate boost without really affecting
graphical quality. I'm pretty happy with the graphics and frame-rate
now.

you have to be under "device 2"(which means secondary video card, 3dfx,look
at the botton legend)
on graphics setup.Not as fluid as if it was native (glide)3dfx,but highly
playable and fun.Maybe they fix it later

As I mentioned, also try setting the resolution to Medium. With Medium
res and High detail I'm now satisfied with both the frame-rate and
graphical quality (P200 w/3dfx). I'm pretty sure I'll buy this one,
it's a lot of fun to drive.

I really like the weather affects, both graphically and surface-wise.
It's a rush to use the rainy track to bump a car on a curve and knock
them into a sand trap!

JOe,

I got word back from Codemasters that it will be a while until TOCA
comes to the USA/Canada due to lack of distribution/license ... BUT,
they are willing to ship direct from the UK ...

Here is the word I got:

Dear Doug

Thank you for your email.  The 3Dfx is supported natively. Do you
have a 3Dfx card? If so, do you know what Chipset it uses?

If you are after the finish product then I'm afraid you will not be
able to find it in the US as we have not acquired a licence yet. It
may take a few months until we do so we urge you to wait until then.

However, if you are desperate in obtaining a copy, then if you
cantact us 3 - 4 weeks after launch (28th November) then we will be
able to ship you a copy.

Thank you.
