Well, since there is a 3Dfx patch for N2, why settle for a lesser
supported
3D card?

Nascar2 looks hideous under the 3DFX patch... the Rendition version
blows it away.

says...
The 3Dfx patch is okay, if you like driving in chase-cam mode.***pit mode
gives a lower frame rate than the non-accelerated version. Also, you'll get the
'fuzziness' that the Voodoo and Voodoo2 are famous for (which doesn't bother
me a whole lot.) The best card for N2 is still a Rendition-based one,
preferably a v2200 card like the Hercules Thriller3D.

I'm not so sure... I haven't looked at F1RS on the Rendition, only 3DFX,
but I definitely think GPL looks better on the Rendition than on a 3DFX
card.

What resolution can you run on your Rendition card with GPL?

Mine's a 4 Meg, I can run 640*480 and 800*600 in GPL. the 8 Meg
Rendition 2200's can goto 1024*768 as I understand it.
