Ok I have a question about the difference between the "quality" of the Rendition version of Nascar Racing 99 vs that of the 3dfx. I have a P200mmx running at 75mhz so it's a 225. Diamond Stealth II S220 (v2100) Canopus Pure3d (Voodoo1) 64 megs edo ram. definately not state of the art...but it still handles most stuff. when I run the win95 3dfx version, the track lines are smooth, the grandstands clean looking, very crisp. But there is a very slight stutter comming back onto the main straight. I had heard the Rendition version was faster so I tried it and man was I disapointed.(and beleive me, I've had the Renditionand been a supporter of Rendition, a-lot longer than the voodoo) I guesss it was the anti aliasing but the Rendition version was blurry, with jaggy lines...much worse than I remember even with N2. The grandstands were a fuzzy mess compared to the 3dfx. While I may get a few more fps out of the rendition version, I got a MUCH worse picture. My initial install was the win95 3dfx, and I have the AA enabled in the .ini file. but is the dos rendition version actually that much crappier than the 3dfx? is there a setting to enable AA in the dos rendition? I ran the NR1999r.bat from windows(after running setsound) Any ideas? dave henrie
