SCGT and TNT or V2

by Ding » Sun, 25 Apr 1999 04:00:00

I have two pretty good game systems (PII450-128 MB) and on one SCGT runs
using the the Viper 550 (TNT) card the other, although I have both a Voodoo2
and a TNT card will not let me choose the TNT card.  If I choose D3D it uses
the Voodoo2 driver.

from what I have seen I prefer The TNT graphics for this "sim".

Please help me config my system so the TNT chipset is used for D3D in this
game only.

Thanks

SCGT and TNT or V2

I just upgraded to a V3 (from a Viper 550), and I noticed the game runs a
lot better on the V3.  Not nearly as much background pop-ups as when I had
the TNT.  This could be a result of D3D vs Glide though.

I too have a P2-450 w/128MB SDRAM and could not play SCGT with all options
on at 1024x768.  While it was playable, it was too slow for me.  You could
see it slow down when running with a lot of cars around you.  With the V3
it's nice and smooth.

As far as graphics quality, I can't see any difference between the V3 and
TNT (except for the V3 is much, much smoother).

What really helps the performace to setting the detail to "High" not "Max."
