Fortunately I have both cards in my system (P-166, 64Mb RAM).

It was interesting to compare the performances of the two.  Running at
640 x 480 resolution and ALL graphics effects 'ON', I gained the
impression that the 3DFX card (Voodoo 1) was slightly faster.
However, the Rendition card has anti-aliasing and, in my opinion,
provides the better graphics due to the smoothing effect.

I then tailored the graphics to achieve a better balance of speed/detail
and definitely prefer the Rendition version simply because of the
smoothing effect on the jaggies.

However, it is a personal thing and there would probably be just as
many, if not more, people who would prefer the 3DFX mode.

It's a pre-alpha demo, relax...

Any thing probably looks better than on my Voodoo RUSH card.

HELLO, PAPYRUS? How about supporting the Voodoo RUSH card? It's not like
the card hasn't been out for a year now and 3DFX will show you how to
write a game so that the GLide implementation runs on booth Voodoo and
Voodoo RUSH.

I tried them both and on my 233 didn't notice much of a difference.
The rendition (V1000) does seem to look a tad better, but both seem to
perform about the same.  I hadn't tried the 800X600 yet though...that
could tip the scales...

I tried both in N2 and the 3dfx was just a tad faster, but again wish
a slight decreace in graphics.  They both look great though.
