TNT and Nascar Racing

I'm thinking of buying a video card. Can anyone tell me about the Viper 550 and NASCAR 99, and the upcoming versions of racing sims? You can email me

While the Riva TNT is a great card, including OpenGL drivers, its useless with Nascar99. N99 only supports Rendition and 3dfx. However, it will perform ok with this game and scream with D3D and OpenGL games. -Richard On Sun, 29 Nov 1998 12:00:47 -0500, "Joey & Harriet Millard" >I'm thinking of buying a video card.

Yeah, whcih gives you NO benefit over any other card, or your present one. It is useless as a 3D card for N1999. _Richard

Can you run N99 with all the graphics on? I don't have my system together yet. I'm going to be using a 300A with BX6 mobo, viper550, and 64 mb of 100 MHz. ram. I would like to have all graphics on with excellent frame rate. thanks, Joey

I've already bought the viper550. Do I need to invest in a 3dfx card as well?

A Viper 550 and a Monster II Card gives you about the best *** setup you could have... A fast TNT for DirectX games that don't support 3dfx, and a 3dfx card for those games that support 3dfx. I have the G460/Monster II setup in mine. The G460 (intel I740 chip) is actually kinda slow, but it gets me by until I can afford the TNT. -Larry
