Rendition ICR2 Availability?

Got a Rendition (3D Blaster) card. I don't think there was an ICR2 bundle over here (UK). Bought all Papy sims except indy500 (didn't have a computer then). Bought the Rendition for Papy sims. N2 is a disappointment. It looks a bit nicer than standard version and I can have track & sky textures on but it still isn't the silky performer I was expecting. This might be down to the fact that I cant get a DMATEST score above 71.5, which I believe is way below par on my P200. I can't chance the PCI latency on my motherboard. Anyway, non-accelerated SVGA performance is worse than on my old card (3D 2000) so ICR2 and NCR1 look worse than they did. I need to get Rendition ICR2 somehow. I bought this car mainly for my Papy games, and the cards are a lot more expensive over here (UK) than the US - 170-180 pounds. Any ideas, let me know. I'd also like to get a hold of an N2 Atlanta AI patch. If one's available, let me know. Thanks, Mark

mark, try this. in australia, the screaming 3d and reactor are not available. so i picked up the 3d blaster. like you i wanted icr2 for the rendition. following on from some tips i read here i downloaded the new indycar.zip patch from renditions site about 500k and copied the indycar.exe file included over my "normal" indycar.exe file. i also copied the spd3d.uc file from my nascar2 directory into my icr 2 directory. viola, rendition icr2. note that some tracks that were enhanced, colour only i think, in the "official" rendition version do not receive the same treatment here but hey, its the speed we want, right. i'll leave others to cover anything i missed. rendition, righteous 3d and pp200, together. guess i'm spoilt. best
