3Dfx for N2? Really?!?!?

OK, What's the deal. Is this a rumor or is a reality. When is it coming. Don't kid me now, people. I had a heart palpatation just reading a bit here that a patch was in the works. Give it to me straight, Doc, I can take it.

i was thinking of buying a rendition card just to play nascar2. i already have a 3dfx orchid righteous but it doesnt sound too hopeful for a patch any more. i have never seen the rendition version of n2 and was wondering if its worth to buy a 100 dollar card just for n2. it already plays at 30 fps for me on my system so it is just graphic quality and draw distance im looking for here. any help or any one who has a rendition please reply.

Yes there is a 3dfx patch(it's probably done by now) for N2. However, Papyrus or Sierra or CuC has made no announcement that I'm aware of concerning availability etc. If I were a betting man...I'd look for it to be included in one of the Voodoo2 boards as a pack in title....(can you say Diamond??)

Steve, worth every penny, from the sweat of your brow. Remember the first time you ever saw the 3dfx card in action? Well, its alot like that only you get to drive a Nascar stocker. Do it.
