Of course if I play with the options in the Detonator 6.18 drivers, I might be able to improve things. Haven't tried this much.

I have a P3 550 with the above card. I get a certain amount of jaggies. But your pictures, while they have some jaggies, do look like an improvement over my display. For example, look in Pic 4 at Mike Skinner's spoiler, or Nadeau's roof, or the outside retaining wall in general. There is a small amount of "jagginess" there, but it's much less than what I see on my machine. (A good place I've found to check jagginess is to look at the spoiler of the car ahead, when it's on the banking and I'm not.) Would the Hercules card make any difference in terms of fps and opponent count capability?

I just posted some pics of this great game using my Hercules 3D Prophet II card (only $129 at Best Buy) for all to check out. There are also some Superbike 2001 pics on my site too. I can't recommend this card enough! What a great deal and very powerful for the small cost. Pete http://kickme.to/hawker link near top of page

I must add that there is NO slowdown at anytime during racing with this card! Even smoke/dirt effects don't bog it down in any way. What a deal. (btw I'm running 16 cars at a time in Nascar Heat due to my 450 not liking much more than that) "Hawker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8PRB5.8046$[email hidden]...

Hawker, Those pics are pretty impressive. I'm currently stuck with a 15" monitor running at 800x600 because my 19" monitor stopped working. When I get it fixed or buy a new monitor I'm gonna have to look into a GeForce2 MX. Thanks for sharing... Dave Ericson "MomoBoy" JDB Racing Hawker wrote:

I really think it depends on what CPU you are running for opponent count. I can't comment on the card you are using now since I never had that one. Later this week I'll be replacing my 450 CPU with an PIII 850. I'll post any significant changes to fps here. I would assume I'd be able to add many more cars, but it's a memory thing also. I'll post a pic like you said, car ahead banked while you are not, so you can see how it looks. Check my site again shortly. :) "Doug Appleyard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ra7q0$lis$[email hidden]...

Just spent some time trying to get a good picture on a bank to see the jaggies ahead, and you know what, there is only ONE! Pretty nice. In the pics it was kinda hard to tell so I just figured I'd tell you what I saw instead. Hope that helps you.

If you want no jaggies, get a Voodoo 5 with hardware FSAA if you want pure speed, go with a GeForce 2 "Hawker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G53C5.622$[email hidden]...

How are the drivers on these boards? I've read about some compatibility problems??? (In comparison with stability on the VooDoo3 3000 ?)
