Another 3dFX Card?

2 posts by 2 people · 29 Aug 1999 - 30 Aug 1999

Would it be quite possible to add another 3dFX card to join my current 12MB Maxi Gamer card? Would it double my frame rates? Would I get overheating problems? What are the main symptoms of overheating? Who is Cartman's father? -- Rob Swindells 3rd equal in Goldline Bearing FFord Championship (18 Points); 9 points behind Championship Leader (as of round 4 of 6) "If you're a great driver, you will get through. It's not harder than any time before." ~Martin Brundle "If we could do this every week, we would be more consistent..." ~Bryan Robson (I think)
Now look here Swindells, you know as well as I do, that until you win a FF1600 Race at Castle Combe, when it's raining, and Richard Carter, Kevin Mills, Gavin Wells and Robin Parsons are driving SHIT HOT...you're NOTHING, d'ya here me - NOTHING. Only kidding Rob....Crashing On. IF your Card has a small socket, and came with a short ribbon cable, then it means you can run a second card, by connecting the two with the short ribbon cable, and running yout 2d card into the first 3D card, and that card into the 2nd, and the 2nd into your monitor. You get a lot of frame rate increase..BUT the problem is, can your machine work out WHAT it should be drawing quick enough to tell the cards to draw it? If you can have LOADS of cars runnign at the start of the monaco race, in a VERY low res mode, then you've got the grunt to make it worth while... Doug
