5 posts by 4 people · 06 Apr 1998 - 07 Apr 1998

Okey... I've got the GPL demo now.. but even on my P200/64mb ram its not running good enough without a 3d-card.. So I was thinking of buying a Voodoo2 with 12mb. ram....the only problem is they're not availible up here in Norway yet... So I'm gunning for a really cheap ($200] card until the voodoo2 arrives. Has enyone heard of a card called Deva Iris 3d Mania ??? It's supposed to be a voodoo card with 4 mb ram or something. Could anyone please tell me alittle more about it really quick... 'cause i plan to shop it first thing in the morning!!!! -- Best, Edwin Solheim ed_ on NROS The Paddock - a legendary site..: http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock Cheek Junior Team: http://home.sol.no/~solhmrek

Do yourself a favor and get a Diamond Stealth II, which is based on the Rendition V2100 chip. They cost only around $90, and they provide the best graphics in Nascar 2 and GPL. I have a Diamond Stealth II/ p166 system and I can run GPL fluidly at 800x600 with antialiasing on.

Edwin! Get a Diamond Stealth II(a rendition card) Does the GPL demo smooth at 800x600(ok there's no other cars on the track but...) and it only costs 100-120 $ US. Then you can save a little more for your Voodoo II when that is available. dave henrie

>What about ati all in wonder pro? The ATI Rage Pro cards are good Direct3D performers, but GPL does not support Direct3D, at least not yet. For GPL and Nascar 2, a Rendition or 3Dfx card is required for 3D acceleration, and between those two, the choice seems to be Rendtion for the best image quality.
