Which graphics card for PC?

2 posts by 2 people · 02 May 1997 - 05 May 1997

I'm putting my first pc clone together (I'm a Mac consultant), primarily for racing sims: Shuttle Spacewalker HX MB, Pentium 166, 32Mb RAM, 512K L2 cache, 8X CD, 2 Gig HD, Soundblaster 16 -- nothing special. A friend who's really into this stuff was very enthusiastic about Sierra's "Screamin' 3D" board & bundle. After reading these posts, however, I can't say I get a warm feeling about this board OR Sierra's customer support. I just want to run GP2, the forthcoming "vintage" GP sim, maybe ICR2 and RAC Rally -- so what board should I get? Thanks in advance Bart Brown

Perhaps you should try the Itergraph Reactor (or whatever it's called now). Sierra's card is built around the same chipset (the Rendition V1000). Nascar2 comes with a special executable for this chipset, as does Indycar2 and some others....Quake comes to mind as well. This seems to be the chipset of choice for N2....anyone?? -Kev
