just wondering, I have a 3dfx V3500, but just wondering if N3 and GPL works with TNT, glide mode

You have a V3 card, not a TNT card, right? Voodoos will do Glide, OpenGl and D3D nicely. TNTs will do OpenGL and D3D nicely, but not Glide. GPL works very well in Glide mode. GPL _can_ work in OpenGL with a patch, but some graphics suffer somewaht, but framrate OK due to the raw power of the TNT2. N3 works very well in either mode. (and I won't post my D3D-Glide comparisions here. Issue not solved!) /petern

Morris Glide is only for 3dfx cards while the TNT's rock when in Open GL -- Oliver Nikolic DP-MAX Computers http://www.dp-max.co.yu/ BeoRocket Racing Team (retired) http://www.beorocket.co.yu/

But not in GPL! In GPL for whatever reason, OpenGL sucks! CU Zolli

I think they have few beta patches but since I'm having glide cards for past 2 years I wouldn't know... Is it the same thing with N3? I see only d3d and glide modes? -- Oliver Nikolic DP-MAX Computers http://www.dp-max.co.yu/ BeoRocket Racing Team (retired) http://www.beorocket.co.yu/

What more do you want? open gl is rearely used in racing sims. N3 is better in 3dfx, because Papy does better programming for Voodoo-cards. CU Zolli
