Re: GPL video card ?

Yep, bad choice, sorry to say. Get a voodoo3 pci. Either 2000 or 3000.

Voodoo 3 is best choice for GPL and they are about �70 for V3 2000 which is more than fast enough.

Firstly reviews indicate that it can be overclocked almost as far as the 3000 + in any case on GPL I see no performance increase between standard 143MHz and the 3k clock of 166MHz. another option if you want to save a few $'s is the STB Velocity 100. This is the same as the V3 except (i) it has only 8MB of memory and (ii) the drivers only enable one of the V3 graphics engines .... however at the www.anandtech.com review you can find the registry entry required to override this. Final option - if you're happy with the existing video card for other apps and consider a V3 to be a downgrade for other games then you can pick up a V2 1000 card pretty cheap (around $40-50 after rebate) - this is a voodoo2 card so operates alongside existing video card so that you'd only use it for GPL and other glide games. Performance is about half that of V3 so probably only a viable proposition if existing card is much faster than a V3. Hope this helps. BTW, running GPL in software video mode is only useful in that it tells you you need to by a voodoo accelerator :-) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I have a Diamond Stealth 3 video card & can't seem to get it to work with GPL or NASCAR3. Does these games not suppport this card? If not will someone recommend a card that will. It has to be a PCI card. I did have a Banshee and took it out for the Diamond too upgrade but I think I made a bad choice. =================== Dwayne -------------------------------------- I didn't do it!

Thanks for all the advice that I got on my ? I picked up a Voodoo3 3000 PCI card tonight. One other thing though, I got a Force RS and noticed that the frame rate dropped really bad after I hooked it up. Is there anything I can do to fix this? The new Voodoo card helps some but it still has a problem keeping up. I was told that direct x 7a might help. Is this true? Thanks again everyone!
