I've recently been made aware of the VR systems out there in my travels thru cyberspace, and being a game-junky I got to have one. There is so little in the way of third party write ups that I'm left a little bewildered. I think I want the CyberVisor with the Wicked3D drivers from X-gamers. I like to play Micrsoft Combat Flight Simulator(80-110 fps) and Janes USAF(40-65 fps) mostly, with a spattering of first person shooter, space sims, and driving games. I have a AMD K6-2/550, 256mb ram(I upgraded my IBM 2158-270 system), Voodoo3/3000 pci(no AGP slot, the cheap bastards), and a Sony 19" trinitron multiscan420GS. My main concerns are frame rate degradation and compatability with my two favorite games. Any help making some sense out of the available systems and options would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, John | ||

Some flight simulations don't use the Z-buffer and therefore don't deliver a 3D-effect when used with universal drivers, like Wicked3D. The ASUS and ELSA drivers provide better image quality (not to be confused with 3D-quality) than Wicked3D, but don't support the Voodoo3. The fps-degradation varies from driver to driver, from board to board, from game to game, even from frame to frame, but I'd say the loss is somewhere between 20 and 35 percent. Christoph |
