F1RS--Is a 3D card neccessary?

I've downloaded the demo, and tried to play a demo of F1RS on CD. My question is, will I have to have a 3D card to play this? My 233 MHz MMX system has an ATI Rage II+ graphics card. I plan on buying a voodoo 2 card, but not for a few months. -- "I'm not a cool person in real life, but I used to play one on WebTV".

Hi, Yes you need a 3Dfx acrd for the Demo. But, you can use D3D in the full version. I have tried both and in F1rs 3Dfx is the way to go. But it is usable with D3D. Mike

There is a Direct3D version but the consensus seems to be that it is far inferior to the Glide (Voodoo) version.

Thanks for the info. I realize that it won't be as good without the 3Dfx card, but I'll have one eventually. -- "I'm not a cool person in real life, but I used to play one on WebTV".

Where did you get the demo?

I downloaded the demo, (26MB), and it's also on a new British PC mag. called Ultimate PC. Go to Ubisoft's website, and then to the F1RS page, and there's an animated GIF that shows which current issues have the demo. -- "I'm not a cool person in real life, but I used to play one on WebTV".
