Intergraph Reactor & GP2

Can anyone tell me what kind of performance they have gotten from playing GP2 on the new Intergraph Reactor Video Card. How does it compare in frames per second to say the Hercules Dynamite 128/Video Card (which I own). I have seen some posts that say that the difference is neglible in GP2 when it comes to Video Cards. Thanks in advance! Ray

There's been a lot of talk about "Rendition Ready". At this point I'm a bit confused. Is rendition ready a software feature or a hardware implementation? Any info that clears this up will be appreciated. Regards, John

It's a software feature. Basically it means the game has been specifically designed to take advantage of the Rendition cards' 3D acceleration features. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

The performance difference will vary but should be at least as good or somewhat better when running the game in VESA mode. As I understand GP-2 is a 2D game and not rendition ready. Reactor is designed around Rendition and will accellerate those games at blinding speed. Since Reactor is VESA complaint, it should do what any other card will do. DMA may slighly enhance the performance of the game. I would recommend that the GP-2 fans unite in requesting a Rendition Ready version of the game.
