GPL...video cards

4 posts by 4 people · 27 Oct 1999 - 11 Nov 1999

Which of all the video cards currently on the market is best suited to play GPL ( this taking in consideration the updated drivers available on their Web Sites ). ?
The CHEAPEST, the Hercules. It's a rendition based card now hard to find I think, but I have never been able to make the Diamond one's work while this one is great. Cost me about $75 which I believe is a very good deal ! > Which of all the video cards currently on the market is best suited to play > GPL ( this taking in consideration the updated drivers available on their > Web Sites ). ?

I own both of the above cards and found that, as the popular opinion goes, the Thriller is better for lower-spec machines whilst the V3 is perhaps better on higher-end PC's. I will say that I preferred the general image quality on the Thriller.... -- Cheers! Graeme Nash
I currently run a Hercules 3D Thriller with Diamond Voodoo2 SLI. CPU is a Voodoo2's. I've been thinking about getting a TNT2 Ultra or even a new GeForce 256 but I just can't part with the framerates I get in GPL. I put a Voodoo3 3000 in my girlfriends computer and it kept crashing all the time until I put a fan on the card. I also had to load up new drivers to fix graphical errors. I loaded up GPL on hers and compared framerates. About the Monster Fusion. It runs GPL pretty good. Not as good as the Herc or the Voodoo3 (after you get it working). Hope this helps. Anthony Brooks
