Graphic Card

I am afraid to ask but here it is What is the best combination card 2-3D to go with GPL or other simulation racing out there Would pay up to $300. I now have Pentium 200M 64M Millenium 1 Diamond Voodoo 1 In need of speed Thanks Claude

Hey, don't be afraid to ask! I think most here would agree that it's either a Rendition-based Hercules Thriller 8MB card or one of the many 3Dfx-based Banshee cards. Beyond that, the debate rages on. Personally, I think, for your machine, the Thriller might be the better 2D/3D card solution, especially if your focus is on Papy sims...but, stick around. I'm sure you'll see some different perspectives! <g>

Sorry for the multiple duplicate posts! My ISP's news server is fouled up AGAIN! FYI it's BellSouth.net.

Phil... Between you and me, I now understand why RAS had nearly 100 new posts when I checked in this morning. Attention, everyone: Phil and I apologize.

GPL runs well on my P200/Voodoo1, but only if I keep the AI down to 5 drivers or so and the detail low (slider to left, mirrors set to cars only). Mind you, I use the same detail settings on the 450a to keep the frame rate up to 36 most of the time with 19 AI. Anyway, I'd suggest a Voodoo2 for Claude. The P200 won't push it too hard, but it'll be useful if/when he upgrades the PC and the V2's still a good D3D card unless you need the really high resolutions. Andrew McP PS 5 AI may not be most people's idea of a good race, but IMO GPL's better with no AI at all than most sims are with a full field ;-)

What'd we do man...? Is there a limit or sumthin'? |o) -- #33 Zandvoort 1.28.56 >Phil... >Between you and me, I now understand why RAS had nearly 100 new posts when I >checked in this morning. >Attention, everyone: >Phil and I apologize.
