Which OpenGL driver?

Sorondil · Mar 8, 2003, 10:07 PM

Does a Diamond Viper 770 or an Elsa ERAZOR X2 have hardware support OpenGL?

Which OpenGL driver should I use? Which OS XP Pro, 2K, or 98SE?

TIA;

The viper 770 uses the TNT2 chipset.
The Elsa ERAZOR X2 uses the GeForce 256 chipset

I'd use the ELSA if I were you - faster card and that.

So I'd use the latest official nVidia driver or the Omega drives which should support it - both of which will include OpenGL. But don't expect it to play RTCW too well.....

np

As to which OS you should run I'd recommend either Win98 or WinME as those cards are a bit too dated for Win 2K/XP requirements given the PC they're likely to be used it.

Omegdrive customised driver
Official nVidia drivers

Wasn't that only for 3dFX cards?
