- Is NASCAR 2's Rendition 3D version worth a new card? 1997-02-20 · 21 postsA poster asked how much the Rendition-accelerated version of NASCAR Racing 2 differed from the software version before buying a card. Replies said the main gains were speed, bilinear filtering and, as Papyrus's Jim Sokoloff added, 65,000+ colors instead of 256, though some felt the improvement was smaller than in IndyCar Racing II. Owners argued over whether the Intergraph Reactor/Intense 3D card was buggy, with one user listing display glitches and hangs while others said theirs worked flawlessly.
- SciTech Display Doctor 5.3a adds Verite support 1997-01-28 · 21 postsEric Busch noted that SciTech's Display Doctor 5.3a added support for the Rendition Verite chip. Most users found no frame-rate gain in NASCAR Racing 2 or Quake on Rendition cards, though it added extra VESA modes and helped some other cards. Rendition NT drivers were said to be in alpha testing.
- Choosing a Tyan motherboard for Rendition DMA performance 1996-12-30 · 32 postsA Packard Bell owner sought a better motherboard to get good performance from his Intergraph Reactor. Posters compared Tyan Tomcat and Titan boards with HX, VX and FX chipsets, and Eric Busch recommended HX boards such as the ASUS over VX unless SDRAM was used. Several users reported poor DMA transfer rates with VX and Tomcat III boards.
