hi guys,
im looking to run a few racing games (that only support glide) on a retro machine but without a voodoo card..
i have a p933 with an nvidia fx5000 series card... think it is the 5500...
im wondering how much of a performance hit the wrapper takes on the system..
eg ... i want to play Grand Prix Legends (released nov 98) and at the time the game came out, P2 450 and voodoo2 was was the best available then early 99 the p3 500/550 and voodoo3 came out..
would a p3-933 with fx5000 card running nGlide be able to match a p3-500 with voodoo3 setup for graphical detail and frame rate?
i ask this because getting a voodoo card here in australia is no cheap and easy task whereas i already own a couple of fx era cards...
as far as i know Grand Prix Legends only runs accelerated 3d if a voodoo or verite car is in the system .. obviously meaning ati and nvidia are out..
is the performance hit nGlide takes a little or a lot?
