Don't look for SLI to help with GPL, get a bigger CPU not another V2.
By the way, my Genoa V-Raptor 4MB AGP is faster and smoother than either 3Dfx
combination at 640 x 480 with GPL. Papyrus definitely wrote for Rendition
first then made it work with 3Dfx.

I don't think so. I run 85Hz refresh. Only change is check mark disable SLI
in 3Dfx advanced settings. I think 36 frames is max no matter your refresh
rate.
I have answered all your question truthfully, honestly, and to the best of my
ability. I never , never, ever, had SLI running more than 30 frames per second
in GPL.
