#Graphics boards
Hi,
I just heard that there is a newer board with some texturing real time
redering. It also has faster 3d performance. It will be out this summer. If I
were you , I will wait for it.
But will the software support the texture mapping? I already have a Matrox
Impression plus. It makes the pipes screen saven in NT jam, but until truespace
2.0 come out it won't do me much good. Also TS 2.0 only renders real time on
solid modeling and not texture. So I don't see how the new board will help.
But you are right about new boards. With new chips like GLint and REAL3D coming
out real time rendering with texture maps will be here soon. It will make
things difficult for those who try to justify the price of an SGI. (althought
SGI will always have some new gimick upp their sleve)
