Nvida TNT2 open GL

I am thinking about getting a Nvida TNT2 card and wonder if the open GL patch would work for it? I have a Diamond monster II but the TNT2 card looks really good with 32megs and 32bit rendering. Any comments appreciated... thanks

says... The TNT2 isn't even released yet, so I doubt if *anybody* here would *know* how it's going to work with any existing software or drivers. I have a TNT and until I changed from an LX to an HX motherboard, the OpenGL patch would not work at all. I'm going to buy a TNT2 when it comes out, but I'm gonna keep my Voodoo as well until I feel comfortable with the TNT2/OpenGL combo. I think Papy/nVidia are going to have to fix some things in the OpenGL driver before it's 100% anyway. -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html IGPS (Season 2) Director http://207.104.111.77/igps2/igps2.html If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

It *should* work, though I wouldn't expect much performance gain unless nVidia optimized their drivers. Daniel -- Daniel Lichtenberger, Vienna/Austria "If I ate spinach I'd be called spinach D"

I would say, have a read at http://www.tomshardware.com/ -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands. Personal site : http://www.toptown.com/INNERCIRCLE/1846/ AMCA web master : http://www.amcaracing.nl/
