Question to Intergraph (or anyone who can answer)

4 posts by 4 people · 30 Dec 1996 - 01 Jan 1997

I wanted to add a tv-tuner card to my PC, but recently I've bought Intergraph's reactor 3D card. Are there any tv-tuner cards that are compatible with the Reactor? I've also read a lot of comments about N2 not achieving frame rates as high as Indycar2 does. Will I be able to run it smoothly on my P100 without taking out all of the details? A. Renault

There was talk of this in the video newsgroup, and as far as I remember most TV tuners worked fine with the Reactor. Nascar2 will not run nearly as well as ICR2, especially in light of your DMA troubles. Full detail on a P100 is probably asking too much. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

You should notice a considerable improvement with the reactor on your P100 running N2 versus N1. Just make sure you run the rendition version (dma version is the best). IMO, N2 rendition does not perform as well as the ICR2 rendition and I'm hoping some work is being done with a patch to further enhance N2 rendition. On my P100 with 32meg and the reactor, I run n2 renddma with everything on except clouds on auto but limit cars drawn to around 10 in front and 2 behind and seem to average over 20fps. More cars drawn, especially ahead, really slows things down for me. Much more than ICR2 with the reactor. Ron

I have a Hauppauge TV board and "when" I had a Reactor 3D board.. I'm sorry.... now the Intense 3D board<grin>.. it work fine with my TV card.
