Nascar 2 for Cyrix and Non Rendition Hw?

6 posts by 6 people · 03 Dec 1996 - 14 Jan 1997

Does anyone know if Nascar 2 will have framerates similar to Indycar2 racers with Non Rendition SVGA boards? Is there a non-Rendition svga mode in this game? On my system, Nascar 1 is barely acceptable framerate wise, but Indycar 2 is much better. Can I expect Indycar2 or better framerates? The Cyrix, as we all know, will not run the Nascar 2 Demo, Adam Lavesqu implied that the complete Nascar2 would run on the 486/586/686 machines. Is this known to be true? Cyrix 5x86-120 / 16Mb / Diamond Stealth64 Graphics 2MB . Thanks, Blacky P.S. Can't go Renditon because of current VLB mother board.

There will be a regular SVGA mode just like the non-enhanced ICR2. The SVGA speeds should be very similar those of ICR2, and yes it should run on a Cyrix. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/
It does run on a Cyrix (p150+).. and running with a ATI 3d Xpresion+ it does run very nice (I dotn have framerate numbers since I havent figure out how to display them.. But it is VERY playable. (640x480 mode). Jason

Nascar 2 runs on my CYrix 150+ just fine at a very fast FPS rate.. The only wierd thing that happened is i have a T686_p.exee TSR that i load in autoexec.bat that makes programs think i have a pentium. Nascar2 locked up if i ran this program.. only time this prg failed.. i removed it and nascar2 runs fine on my cyrix!
Ditto, I have a Cyrix 686 166+ and it runs great.... Tom Fleischman

Yes, nascar2 runs on 486,586,and 6x86 systems. The framerate is slightly better than icr2 was, so if you like the way it looked you shouldnt be disappointed.
