Graphics Card Help

2 posts by 2 people · 08 Nov 1996 - 11 Nov 1996

I am writing this to ask for some input from you guys. I currently have a STB Systems Lightspeed 128 Graphics Card that I bought a few months ago. I put this in my computer(Packard Bell Pentium 100mz w/24megs of Ram) and saw no difference in the speed of NASCAR. What I mean is, I bought the card to allow me to add more details in the game and I don't notice that it sped it up at all. The guy at Packard Bell says that the card that comes in the computer is just as good as any I would put in. The guy at Computer City says this card(Lightspeed) is one of the best there is. My question(s) is: I will buy another card if there is one better because all I use the computer for lately is Racing(NASCAR, Indycar, GP2) and could you guys recommend the best. Also, is there a Univebe driver or something that I should use in NASCAR to help with the speed of the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have a ACM Game card. Thanks.

Chris, Just wait a couple more weeks for the release of Nascar2. It will have much better performance than Nascar1. The best card right now is the Matrox Millenium because it comes with a special version of Nascar that runs much better than the stock one. If you are not happy with the Lightspeed with Nascar2 then buy a Rendition Verite based 3d accelerator and prepare to be blown away. If you order an Intergraph Reactor before Xmas it will only cost you $150 and it comes with Quake and Indycar2, both Rendition Ready. Dana Bailes
