Banshee or TNT for GPL?

I'm looking for a one card 2d/3d solution and will mainly play race simulations like GPL, GP3 ( call me crazy but I still belive it will come out in this millenium ), .. Which card will give me better fps in GPL? Anyone tried TNT with 2nd beta OpenGL with mirrors disabled ( I won't need them for about a year ( I will keep on training until I'm good enough to challenge for the championship ), I guess nVidia will correct that problem in their OpenGL drivers in about a year. 10x, Borut.

Oh, I have AMD K6-2 300, so 3D-Now support is important! Borut

Forget 3D-Now (the mfr's will ;-) and get the Banshee.... GPL is a 3dfx game. Rgds, Mark R. ===================================== On Sun, 15 Nov 1998 16:13:27 GMT, "Borut Srebotnik"

If you really must have Glide support, pick up a Voodoo2- you'll find the cheapest and little past $100, these days. Z.

I tried it over the weekend (thanks to a friend who bought a Graphics Blaster Riva TNT) and there was no improvment over the ATI Rage Pro I have now. So it's a 3dfx card that suits GPL best. -- Petri

er... with the Opengl (still in beta?) support, or software mode? :) What i'm saying is that a Banshee is a poor choice of primary video card. It doesn't support 32bit 3D, and with (the now weary, poor image quality of 3Dfx). Spring for a TNT for your agp slot, and grab a cheap V2. The Banshee is throw away material in way less than 6 months, and at least if you have the V2, you can continue to use glide stuff with whatever primiary card you want. Banshee limits your choice.

Check the orig post, Zonk... one card soluttion, Glide... but I do agree, a TNT with a V2 (or two ;-) next to it is the best _two_ card solution. Rgds, Mark R. >>I'm looking for a one card 2d/3d solution and will mainly play race >>simulations like GPL, >snip<

Which is better for GPL: Voodoo2 or Banshee? Stefano

Stefano, the Voodoo2 should be a bit faster. Rgds, Mark ===================================== On Wed, 18 Nov 1998 04:11:02 +0100, "Stefano Serni" >Which is better for GPL: Voodoo2 or Banshee? >Stefano
