Anyone:

Does anybody know if there is a 3D driver for Nascar 2 that will work with
the Diamond EDGE NVidia chip.  Thanx in advance.


         http://www.racesimcentral.net/  has some great prices on fast computers for
all of you who need the upgrade.

Hi Greg,
Nascar2 can be run in VGA or SVGA mode which will work fine with your card.
So far, the only 3D port is for the Rendition Verite based cards. The 3D
graphics are great and the speed is acceptional with the Rendition boards.

No there isn't, but even if there was why would you want it?  The Edge
is not a stellar 3D card, so although the game would look better it
would more than likely run significantly slower.  John Carmack refused
to do ports of Quake to most of the 3D cards for this reason.  The Edge
can't compete with any of the 2nd generations 3D cards like the
Rendition and Voodoo.
