N3 w/TNT2U or Voodoo2

Where and how do you choose between you voodoo 2 and your tnt2? Ex

George, I use a small utility called D3D control center to force my system to make my TNT card the primary card for D3D , I find that the colors are much better and some of the effects are also better. I can't give you the source of this little appl. as I am at work and it's at home where I use it. Have a search for it or otherwise post a reply and i'll am happy to post it here. From memory it's only about 30 or 40 K in size. Tinker >Hi; >I can't run N3 in the D3D mode...... I think once N3 detects a Voodoo2 card >it uses that, Period (Please correct me if I'm wrong).

>Where and how do you choose between you voodoo 2 and your tnt2? Doesn't N3 support both D3D and Glide? If so, the device should be selectable within the game. Just look for it in graphics options ... Hena

Thanks Guys... I'm at work now I'll try it when I get home tonight. George

There was a control panel update for the 3Dfx card found on their website. It is only one file that you put in your Windows/System folder. It just gives you extra options in their control panell utility. If you need this file.. I'm sure it won't be a problem to post it up on here. It's very small. > You have control over this... > In the Voodoo 2 control panel, select the 'advanced' button. There _should_

You don't need to do that to select which D3D card N3 uses, there is an n3.ini option you can add "RAST_SELECT n", where n=0 uses the first D3D card it finds (usually your TNT), and n=1 selects the next one (your 3DFX). By default the game picks the last D3D card it finds. I think that was mentioned in the readme. Grant / Papyrus.
