Which better?

Quick one, which is the better one to use, Rendition or 3Dfx?? Or is it just personal preference??

>which is the better one to use, Rendition or 3Dfx?? For P2-300 and lower -> Rendition Above P2-300 800x600 doesn't matter much/personal preference 1024x768 3Dfx Remco

I depends on what sims you're using. In general, the only sims with good Rendition support are the Papyrus sims. Papyrus also supports 3dfx. Most of the other top sims have 3dfx support. So if you're looking for a card that will have wide support, go with 3dfx. The Riva TNT is also a top card, but I've never used one to comment on it or its compatability with racing sims.

Thanks for the feedback/advice guys, from what I've experienced with the two alternatives, I've found that Rendition gives better effects e.g smoke(especially from the engine) skid marks etc. And 3Dfx gives a better/clearer overall graphics display. So it is pretty much down to personal preferance I guess.

If you own a lot of the Papy sims, and have some spare cash and don't own a 3Dfx card and have a lower end computer (phew!), buy a Rendition card. However, if you want compatability with virtually all of todays latest games and high frame rates as well as very good resolutions, by a Voodoo II. The Voodoo II is also very good on a lower-end spec machine, just like mine (Pentium 166). Adam
