(Grand Prix Legends) supports Rendition too. I was wondering what the
general cost of the bet Rendition card was, and if it's any better than say
a card which supports 3Dfx?
Does it come with any free games, like the Voodoo II?

Rendition has its own accelerator API called RRedline, and when games
are written to that API they demonstrate what solid technology this
was.
Both these are very good cards, and the Rendition Verite has a loyal
and astute following. Drivers are getting very mature, and
overclocking is relatively simple.
Up against a Voodoo 1, an overclocked Rendition card with the newest
drivers can hold its own in framerate, though the Voodoo will be
faster. Image quality with the V2100, for instance, will however be
much better (IMHO).
This is an "old" chip in PC hardware terms, though, and for framerate
is blown out of the water by Voodoo2 and TNT, and even G200. Rendition
got bought out by Micron just on the verge of releasing their V3000
line of accelerator chips, and Micron has sent them underground to
work on the "V4000" or whatever they're calling it, hopefully to be
released by Christmas of this year.
You can visit the site of one of the most accomplished Rendition fans
at http://www.bjorn3d.com - and there find news and benchmarks about
the greatest graphics chip of its time!

The stealth2 S220 v2100 card kicks butt, for the money it can't be beat
I just bought a second one at a computer show for $55 dollars and Diamond has a
30 dollar rebate good through june on retail version.
Awesome card if you run papy sims. I used to have a v1000 and just changing
this card increased my GPL framerate 10fps to 30-35 fps on ppro200.

$70 + shipping

I think he means it's now for sale at BuyComp.com for that lower price.

Are there any Rendition cards for games like GPL which support something
like the Voodoo 2's SLI, so you can use two cards in one computer, to
increase the frame rate and resolution?

Hmm,,, "game that don't support any 3D hardware.... will a 3d card help"?
No

I find the rendition card runs faster and WAY better looking in RRedline
native API, but the problem is memory, it only has 4mb on board.
So the voodoo2 will do me for other games.. it's not as pretty, but maybe
when the next generation of Rendition stuff comes out, I'll switch back to
them.
