Nascar2 Rendition Ready OOTB

I just got confirmation from Rendition's Jay Eisenlohr that Nascar Racing 2 will indeed be Rendition Ready out of the box. If you don't already have a Rendition card, what are you waiting for? =) -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

You just made a bright day even brighter. Thanks Eric. Eric Franzen

<sigh> I was waiting for one of the manufacturers to release the Rendition as a 3D add on board without VGA. It would be an extreme waste of money for me to pull out my Lightspeed 128. Any chance of this? David >-- >Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences >Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Ditto, If you find one PLEASE let me know.

Can someone clear this up for me: When a pgm is "rendition ready", does that mean that it can also utilize (for instance) a 3D board based on the voodoo chipset (like Orchid's)? I would expect that if a game was Win95 and used Direct3D, it would work for any 3D board that supported Direct3D... ??? Thanks. --- [remove the space, above]

Rendition-Ready doens't have anything to do with Direct3D support. If something supports Direct3D, then it will work as you have stated (will work on any card with Direct3D drivers). Rendition-Ready are games that are written specifically for the Verite chipset (Intergraph Reactor, 3d Blaster, Sierra Screamin 3D). I think RR also requires use of anti-aliasing and 30 FPS support on a P-133. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This space intentionally left blank

Rendition Ready does not necessarily exclude Direct3D titles. Any supported API may be used, but most are using Rendition's Speedy3D (i.e. direct ports). The hardware, of course, must contain a Rendition graphics processor. There are currently 4 minimum requirements to get a Rendition Ready Logo on a sw package: 1. Texture Mapping 2. Perspective Correct Textures. 3. Bi-Linear Filtering 4. Greater than 25 fps on a Pentium 166mhz processor -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/
