Can anyone tell me if it is possible to run a rendition card along with a Voodoo card in the same machine and switch between the two for different sims? TIA -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caricciola

Yes it is. I ran a Intense 3D V1000 rendition card with a Pure3D 3Dfx card together with no problems. As with all 3Dfx programs they will bypass the primary 2D card and run off of the 3Dfx card. Any D3D program will normally run off the rendition card unless it gives you the option to run 3Dfx mode as in GPL demo or Wing Commander Prophecy.

Absolutelly. I got Intense100 and Richeous 3DFx in my PC. It might be a little bit of a pain to set up but once you do, the PC choses between the cards automatically. Regards, David Mocnay

Yup, and works like a champ. Running a Stealth II S220 Rendition card along with an Obsidian S-12 VooDoo 2 and love them both for the support they offer just about any program out right now. Tried about 8 cards a few weeks ago and settled on these two since they seemed to work the best on my machine.

Most definitely. I currently run a Sierra Screamin 3d v1000 rendition card, and a Canopus Pure 3d 3dfx voodoo1 card. For sims coded to glide or 3dfx, the Pure 3d kicks in and handles the graphics. The rendition card handles the 2d and rendition 3d.

Certainly is, Ollie. :o) I have a Rendition and a 3DFX and qquite often, just for something to do, will switch betweem GPL demo in Rendition and 3DFX modes, or NASCAR2 in each mode. The Rendition is the Diamond Stealth v220 and the 3DFX is the Creative Voodoo2. Both are superb cards which have not caused me a spot of trouble in over 4 months.

To all, Ok. Well I wasn't 100% sure about being able to switch to whichever card you wanted to use. I knew it would run side-by-side. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >.......and also in practise. >> In theory yes. >-- >Regards, >Bruce. >---------- >The GP Legends Historic Motor Racing Club is located at:- >http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/

For some D3D games, that don't ask, which 3D card driver should be used, you actually have to use some 3rd party tools to select the Rendition. But I never really thought about silencing my V2... ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
