Video cards and Windows95

Just wanted to thank everyone, expecially Eric, for helping me out with info on increasing Winblowz95 performance and Video cards... you were all very helpful. I will probably purchase the StealthII for an all around good card with rendition performance so I can play N2 in rendition and then have a good card to accelerate 2d. I will then wait for the new Voodoo 2 boards early next year and hopefully the N2 patch for 3dfx will have been released and thoroughly tested.. upgraded.. etc. Does anyone know of the 1998 N2 Ford Taurus set is out anywhere yet ?? I know most changes for next year have been announced including painting schemes... would love to have the new set =) Scott B. Husted http://home.ptd.net/~sbhusted

My plans exactly and for the same reasons. Good post based on always good ETB input. This may have been posted before, but there is a review of seven of the latest and greatest video cards at http://www.gamecenter.com/Hardware/Roundup/3dcards2/. The real world game benchmark results are at http://www.gamecenter.com/Hardware/Roundup/3dcards2/ss02d.html. I found it interesting that for D3D, better "fill rate" and "polygon throughput" did not necessarily translate into better framerate. Jim

Scott, Keep on eye on The Pits at http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars/index.html-ssi for the latest paint schemes for N2. These guys update this page frequently. Bill BigDaddy on Hawaii DollarBill on TEN
