CompUSA's sales staff range in knowledge and smarts. There are some very
helpful sales folks working for them, but there are also some who know
next to nothing about the products they're selling.

so, aside from the release version, exactly which version are you presently
on your 4th time through?

we're getting way off topic here, so i'll stop posting on this thread after
this.

No your actually using the nvidia 3 card if you want to get technical.
Though the first 3d Chipset from them was completely porked.

Exactly....so I say forget Direct 3D you dont need it if you can sell
enough games to make millions and millions from.....<VBG> Thanks for
making a great point on why there shouldnt be ANY direct 3d patchs.

Go to http://www.papy.com for the beta OpenGL drivers for GPL

Papy has really stepped up to the plate here: they have posted beta
OpenGL drivers on their site at:
http://www.papy.com

Apparently, Papy was listening. After 5 years of enjoying Papy sims, I
must say I have never seen them respond this fast...

Thank you Papy! Sincerely.

The OpenGL patch didn't get written overnight...

by **Eric T. Busc** » Sun, 25 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Yeah, I didn't have any luck on the Permedia2 cards either. No
promises, but we'll look into it...

Go buy a STB TNT card and you won't have to worry about it. ;-)

Fire GL isn't that great of a card for GL execution.. it's a low-end CAD
card.. not even a high end game graphics card

by **Jim Dougla** » Sun, 25 Oct 1998 04:00:00

With my Viper 550 it looks great till i try to go
into practice or race and then the screen goes
black and everything locks up till i reboot.
Any ideas? Should i try the Nvidia reference drivers?
Thanks for any ideas....
Jim
