Arguing against D3D these days is a waste of time.  Microsoft has won yet
again and we need to live with it.  The only place you'll find OpenGL these
days is FPS, and I can live without those for the most part.

Microsoft... making the place a better place for someone.  Although I've yet
to find that person.  I love their hardware, hate their software and curse
them for hours on end while doing my job (software developer).

RC is D3D only.

Best graphics ever in a racing sim so enough of the MS bashing..

RC2000 has the best graphics yet in a racing sim and it's d3d only, so I
don't understand how people can continue to say d3d is poor and MS is bad
for "forcing" it upon is.

Do you have a 3dfx video card?

If so, then it's very likely you would know that in nearly all cases
a Glide title runs and looks better than it's D3D counterpart.

The best graphics in a racing sim are of EASports Superbike 2000
by Milestone.  Extremely photorealistic...!

"Graphics " are subjective, David: what appeals to one may not appeal to
all, just like any artform. My personal taste is for Papyrus-style graphics,
for example.  Others prefer brighter and more "rounded" images.

It's all up to the individual.

That's fine, but 3Dfx cards are hardly "cutting" edge anymore.

My 3dfx is cutting edge, Mr. Zonky at My Pants.

Tell ya what, lets compare framerates vs. cost, but first

I prefer the graphics in GP500. It may not have the same photorealism,
but SBK 2000 pulls it off badly, it doesn't really need to.

Yep, they are excellent. The other sim with great graphics is GP500 as SS
mentioned.

3Dfx are long gone as leaders in the 3D market. So is propietry 3D. Get used
to it.
