Hi Jeffrey,
<< So here's the question: What's your Top Choice for video card that is
versatile in many applications but most importantly 3-D Studio? >>
Well, I've only used 3 with 3DS: ATVista, Diamond Viper VLB, and my new Diamond
Stealth 64 PCI. Although I'm still getting the kinks out of the new system, the
Stealth 64 *seems* to be a very good choice for 3DS, other DOS app's, and
Windows. There's 2 versions, DRAM & VRAM 1,2, or 4MB. WRT the 2MB versions, I
honestly can't tell much difference between the DRAM & VRAM versions, although
the VRAM should be faster and costs about $110 more. So, a 2MB DRAM version
seems to be pretty good for 24-bit up to 800×600 & 16-bit > 1024×768, and will
only set you back about $180….a good deal I think.
