BreakNeck (N.I.C.E. 2 / Excessive Speed) 1998 - ATi Rage Pro is supported
https://www.mobygames.com/game/493/breakneck/

BreakNeck is The sequel to Have a N.I.C.E. day!

Had a lot of improvements: instead of 3 cars you're now able to choose between more than 42 cars, 24 tracks with 96 variations and a lot of new race modes. The most significant feature is the new powerful graphic engine, it's able to display a lot more polygons and has some nice new effects (plus 3d accelerator support).

N.I.C.E. 2: Tune-Up (1999) / N.I.C.E. 2: King Size (2000) ATi Rage Pro is supported

N.I.C.E. 2: Tune-Up is an add-on for N.I.C.E. 2 (BreakNeck). It ships with all benefits from the patches for N.I.C.E. 2, especially an arcade mode and further optimisation for 3D graphic cards. Add-on exclusive content are six new courses in Canada and northern Italy, and a new vehicle class with four German cars like the "Firewolf Turbo" with 400 hp. The rest consists of smaller changes like a random start position in duel races or bonus points for the fastest round.

Strange that the original N I C E2 (BreakNeck) version have multiple language options and the Tune-Up is only available in German. Someone has made Tune-Up language fix for the English base game?

I am not sure if they are really the same (RagePro vs. RageLtPro) because the RageLtPro fails in amithlon while RagePro seems to be fine in VESA.

If i am not talking about Mac versions of the cards:

One more small difference is that usually Rage Pro supports its maximum resolution at 1600x1200, but Rage LT Pro may have support for 1600x1280. I add more Refresh rates and resolutions to my driver, but they do work or not, shows time. Widescreens dont work on early Rage cards, but 4:3 and 5:4 should work. Rage LT Pro adds automatically dual screen, even if i have 1 vga output. XPert@Play has two, with its TV-OUT. Detecting Rage LT Pro with Actua Soccer (ATi 3D Rage Edition) also fails, but its the only DOS CIF and Only CIF game that does not work on newer CIF cards, for that you need Rage/RageII/Rage2c.

Refresh rates should go up to 200hz, but are the newer 144hz / 165hz options possible to add and give they any real benefits on lower resolutions for such old cards, just thinking about resolution / monitor support. Rage XL AGP / Rage XL PCI acts the same way in DOS, like regular Rage Pro at least with ATi Actua Soccer and i have not seen any difference in other DOS games. RageLT/RageLTPro may have some differences there.

Rage and RageLTpro both work in VESA mode, but the Rage (PCI) can switch resolutions like 320x240 and 640x480, where the RageLtPro (AGP) can not. You only get the resolution you set on start, no switching possible. So there must be a difference, perhaps only the interface (AGP/PCI) that prevents the RageLtPro from fully functioning in amithlon. (btw acceleration do not work on both. The later Radeons have some sort of acceleration in amithlon, Nvidia or Matrox are the better choice here.

Rage LT Pro is also with DFP and its for Notebook as well. https://theretroweb.com/expansioncards/s/ati- … -lt-pro-dfp-agp

Usual resolutions that come visible at Rage3 Win9x desktop with Regular PC:
