i think I have decided to get Intergraph's Voodoo 3dfx.....It comes with Motoracer so thats a plus.....Plus...I can throw that piece of ***s3 video card I have away...because the new card is2d and 3d.....Is this a good decision? My understanding is that it has Direct 3D too. One more question....Can I stil play NASCAR 2and ICR II with the new one? I wanted to just get a whole new video card, not an add-on 3d card Thanks folks Dave

You can play nascar2 but not in 3d until a patch is release - sometime before christmas.
says... DON'T GET THAT CARD! It's a Voodoo Rush card and it's wa widely known fact that Rush cards SUCK. The reasons? 1) Performance isn't up to par with what you'd expect from 3Dfx (20% slower than Voodoo Graphics cards) 2) It seems like the Rush is being ignored by developers or treated as an afterthought. -- /*===================================================*/ John Simmons (Redneck Techno-Biker) http://www.paddedwall.org/john If you want to send me email, go the URL above and click "Send Me Mail" in the Contents frame. /*===================================================*/ Some helpful email addresses for spammers: Current board of the FCC: USPS: Miscellaneous: /*===================================================*/

I would think twice about getting that card - the RUSH chipset is poorly supported by developers and is known to lag in performance when compared to the 3d-only voodoo based cards ... Just my $.02 ... I'm completely happy w/my Voodoo 3d-add on card. Unless you are out of PCI slots, there is really little downside to having the 3d in a seperate card... Doug

I just got the Hercules Stingray 128/3d (8mb). I love it. Most of the problems with the Rush chipset seem to be driver related. For instance, I have a flicker problem on CPR, but a new driver update or the glide patch should fix it. Mike
