Dear reader, I have posted this question to Ten's NG to no avail and would really like to know the answer, maybe you can help me. I am considering doing an upgrade in the video card department and would like some suggestions. I am basing my decision solely on what N3 will be optimized for. What card or combination should I buy ? Sincerely, Alex Yockey -- --Alex Yockey <A_Yockey> --B & E Racing --SCORL http://www.scorl.com

Alex wrote buy ? There hasn't been an official word on what type of rasterizer Nascar Racing 3 will have, but be sure that you can't be wrong with a Voodoo-type card, because it can do OpenGL, Glide and D3d. If the word is OpenGL, a TNT-type card will be really the best choice, but if it supports like GPL Rendition/Glide, a Voodoo-chipset will be the best. But I seriously doubt it will be the second choice. I will say (from the look of the screenshots) it's openGL or D3d (but for philosophical reasons I don't think it will be D3d). -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

What card or combination should I buy ? N3 won't be out unitl October, so the optimal video card probably doesn't exist yet. You should probably wait for the Voodoo3 if you want a 2D/3D solution. --David

What card or combination should I buy ? Maybe no-one has answered you because N3 isn't out yet and nobody knows exactly what it will be optimized for. Why don't you wait until the game comes out and then upgrade? Isn't this kind of like saying "I want to get my wife's name tattooed on my arm, but I'm not married yet. Can you tell me what name to have tattooed on my arm?" daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com/ The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! -----------== Over 66,000 Groups, Plus a Dedicated Binaries Server ==----------
