Choosing Video card

Which video card is better for sim race gaming? Nasacr heat and nascar3 and 4 ATI Radeon 64mb ddr 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 ? I have both available just wondering which one to put into the new system.

Hi Ron, Although, I have a V5 and love it :), I would recommend going with the ATI for a *new* system. Since 3Dfx is out of business, there probably won't be any new support for the V5. I can't comment on the compatibility of the ATI though. Jason. Ron Hahn wrote:

I've got the 64meg Geforce 2 ultra in my New Dell 1.5ghz monster machine I got last week and it is awesome, runs HEAT at 60fps full detail and 4x AA and the N4 Demo at 114fps in opengl mode I know hard to believe but true.. If you can swing it get this card. It rocks. "Jason Monds" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The Radeon was specifically designed for Direct X 8.0 if that helps.

I've installed the Radeon 64 Meg DDR VIVO with my P733 and it works great on F1SC2000, GP3 and Superbike 2001. It's a very fast card for the price. Be careful: If you buy Retail, the Memory is clocked at 183 Mhz, but OEM version is only 166 Mhz, The good thing that since it's 0.18 micron technology, it is very easy to overclock it. Don't run any sims with FSAA...it sucks big time: heavy drop in performance. "Ron Hahn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Kt576.2332$[email hidden]...
