Plenty have said it in the past Mark, you must not truly read the posts. FWIW, the Stealth is a v2100, not a 220 (or whatever you think you're talking about) chip. Cheers! Marc - AOL Agent - Licensed to TOS
>Has anyone tried the DIAMOND STEALTH 2 with N2 or Icr2 >or S.O.D.A.. >Is it an improvement over the original rendition cards ? Let me answer this. I've tried all three. Here's the rundown: N2: runs in DMA mode for about ten minutes before the screen turns to confetti and everything locks up on my machine (P133). Running in 4-bit texture mode doesn't help. You also have to run from within Win95. However, I will say that during the time that it IS running, it never looked better. Martinsville is actually smooth and fast now with all the detail on. ICR2: no joy for me on this one. I tried the patch put up on www.avault.com and I still get garbage. Of course I have a crummy DMA in my machine, but the Reactor 3D still ran well enough on it in DMA mode. I'm waiting for a more comprehensive solution on this one. SODA: A win-win situation. Its very fast now, and I can pretty much turn all the details on and still enjoy a smooth frame rate most of the time. Whereas with the Reactor some stuff had to be turned off. SODA uses the RRedline drivers as well, so there's solid performance because of that. Also, the PC Player 3D benchmark program shows about double the performance of the Reactor 3D I replaced, in every resolution using Direct3D, windowed or full screen. Randy
