Glide

Hey guys,

Which AGP Graphics cards support glide?

Any good ones, not after a GTS or anything like that.

3Dfx cards.

You can get tweaked Geforce/TNT drivers that have Glide emulation installed, but its bit dodgy and cant be relied upon to work 100% of the time.

So there are no others apart from the Voodoo cards??

Well 3Dfx made the glide standard open, but it still really only works 100% on 3Dfx cards.

If you are really interested, then this page is what you are probably after.

Good page, thanks a lot, worth trying a glide wrapper with the ATI Rage 128 pro card?

Just hunting around for it on the site now, any ideas where to head??

As far as I know there is not a Glide wrapper written specifically for the Rage 128 cards. Most, if not all, are written to translate Glide into D3D or OpenGL calls. Take your pick as to which API performs best on your machine.
