N2 and upcoming V2200 chipset

Anyone know if N2 rendition will be usable with the new Rendition V2200 chipset coming out soon? Brian

Yes, it (the V2200) is supposed to be fully supporting all Rendition-Native games that ran on the old V1000 Rendition chip, which includes N2, Indycar2 Rendition, etc. > Anyone know if N2 rendition will be usable with the new Rendition > V2200 chipset coming out soon? > Brian -- Matt & Audrey Lewis

Yes. (Rendition site info) * * * Descartes (1596-1650)

From what I read in a magazine, all games were made to support the previous Rendition Chip will still work with the new chip. -- Vincent Cosentino

:Yes, it (the V2200) is supposed to be fully supporting all Rendition-Native :games that ran on the old V1000 Rendition chip, which includes N2, Indycar2 :Rendition, etc. The same way like 3Dfx Rush was supposed to be 100% backwards compatible with 3Dfx Voodoo games, but it wasn't? For what it's worth, I already heard somebody claim ICR2 doesn't currently run on V2200 accelerated. Can anyone confirm this?

AFAIK, ICR2 is the only non-supported game for the new cards. The problem seems to be in the card's archetecture, and that Papyrus and Rendition are looking into it. No news on a fix. =( Cheers! Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing Online / Sim Racing News / The Sim Project http://members.aol.com/simracing

From what I hear that is not entirely true. Supposedly the V2200 chipset currently will not run programs that use Anti-Aliasing designed for the V1000 chip. I hear they expect to have the problem fixed soon though. later Sean

Well, then we all know that this won't effect N2 since it's missing the anti-aliasing feature already! ..... To the real question ....How much better is this new chipset supposed to be?? What I mean is that ICR2 and N2 both fly on my system already......and I have a Diamond Monster to take care of D3D games and VooDoo ports... What is it going to have better 2D???? :)
