ICR2 vs Nascar 2 Graphic w/ Rendition

4 posts by 3 people · 01 Aug 1997 - 06 Aug 1997

I have installed an Intergraph Rendition card on my computer and it seems that the graphics on ICR2 are better than N2 as far as the refresh rate is concerned. For instance in ICR2 at Michigan the stands stay consistent around the whole track; however, at parts of Talladega particularly on the front stretch the stands 'pop up' when you approach them. Is this the way it is or does N2 have a bug? CuzTrickle

I can simply turn on more graphics details without suffering a loss of frame rate. CuzTrickle CuzTrickle

Is this the : way it is or does N2 have a bug? I think that at certain tracks in N2 that this is how it is programmed. I think this was done to help keep the frame rate up with the added graphics. : Also, I noticed that the graphics details on the cars aren't much better : with Rendition and I thought it was supposed to be better.

This has been widely requested, but don't expect to ever see it. -- **************************** Michael E.

N2 Has no anti-aliasing as does ICR2- Let Sierra/Papyrus know that they need to "patch" this! Kevin Beware the Red Bowtie
