Got GPL last week & have decided my Screamn 3D just doesn't cut it for
anything over 512*300(?) :(
I've decided to go the 3dfx route (nobody around here has even heard of
a 8meg Thriller). A 12meg Monster II is about $70 more than an 8meg. The
for the games they tested (Quake etc.). They say most current games
don't require the extra texture memory that the 12meg card has over the
8.
Is GPL a game that will benefit from those extra 4megs & 70 bucks?
Thanks

Basically same performance as V2, seems like it has better image quality,
plus it 2D/3D, Glide/D3D
Look into it.

Please explain why the 12 meg Voodoo2 is better than the 8 meg Voodoo2
for GPL... As far as I know, the only difference between them is more
texture memory on the 12 meg card. Does GPL do any texture swapping on
an 8 meg Voodoo2?
