Monster 3D and racing sims

Well at this time the only option is to replace your current 2D card with one of the Rendition cards. I'd suggest waiting a month and getting one of the V2200 based cards such as the Hercules Thriller 3D. Early reports (with alpha drivers) show it to be faster than the Voodoo with it's mature year-old drivers. One would assume as the drivers are refined the difference would be more pronounced, but this may not be the case. From what I've been able to understand, the V2200 pretty much saturates the PCI bus. Thus for any real increases over the current performance, the AGP version is needed to eliminate the bottleneck of the PCI bus. -- http://ebusch.akorn.net

will the hercules thriller card be able to run nascar 2 and indycar 2 or will new version be needed, i hope not the card sound very good will be yanken out the old intense 3d if this card can still do n2 and indy2 mjones

The V2200 cards are said to be fully backwards compatable with current Rendtion titles (speeding them up as well). -- http://ebusch.akorn.net

Not only will it run previous rendition games (coded for the v1000) it is supposed to run them twice as fast....that's what i seem to remember from press releases. Now if rendition could move their ass and do something about the support that would be great, the way things are now the definition of 3d *** is '3dfx' which is not true of course... oh well...see you btw: i own an intense 3d and like it a lot!
