One last question on 3d cards....

Ok after reading numerous posts on this NG from the past, reading several reviews, and asking opinions of friends i have come to this conclusion....I'm getting the Viper 770 Ultra AND a VooDoo2 or Rendition for N2/99. The question is...do i get the VooDoo or do i get the Rendition. I have a P2 300mhz and 96MB ram and from what ive read the VooDoo might be the better choice since Rendidtion seems to help P1's more that P2's. Anybody who has both could give me an answer it would be apprectiated. TIA. Chris

The Voodoo2 is a 3D only card while the other 2 are 2D/3D. Are you sure this is your last question about this? :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

I don't have a Rendition card. I do have a V2. From what I've heard the Rendition card is allmost unsorported nowadays. Unless you count D3D as support. :-) I'd go with the V2, or perhaps a pair in SLI. Steve-S

Get the Hercules Thriller 3d 8mb pci/agp Rendition v2200 card. It rules man.

Rendition cards are 2D/3D so you can't have it AND the Viper - it's one or the other. You can have the Viper & the V2. From what I'm hearing these days, a V3 is probably the best bang for the buck (unless you need the OpenGL support from the Viper) Personally, I ain't buying anything from Diamond again untill hell freezes over - or I get my Monster II rebate...

Well now im positive this is my last question about this :) Chris

Hello Steve; I have the AGP 8mg Herc Thiller with the V2200 Rend' chipset.. Also I just boughtt 2 new 3dfx Voodoo2 12mgs for Sli and these cards are amazing! I really like my Herc Thriller but as stated in your post the Rendition seems to be slowly going away.. I have the Rendition Icr2 & I have never seen any DOS based program with the graphics in any game or sim as in the Icr2 Rendition Verite' version... Cleveland alone with the sun' setting over the lake is unreal! I wish they'd re-make Icr2/Cart with the Gpl engine for Windows 9x but I don't think we will ever see it? So I am opting for the new 32mg Herc TNT2 Ultra and letting my Herc Thriller go soon. Time goes on...eh? Cheers Thom_j.

Go with the rendition card and get a cheap voodoo 2 add on card best combination possible

Anybody who has both could give >me an answer it would be apprectiated. TIA. The answer is quite simple: you cannot have both Viper and Rendition since these are 2D/3D cards (unless you want to play around with Win98 multi-display and a couple of monitors). V2 is a 3D-only addon card which works with both Viper and Rendition ... Your options: Viper + V2 Rendition + V2 Hena
