Does anyone know where there is a list of Video cards that work correctly in OpenGl with Vue 4 and Win2000? I currently have a Geforce2 (which doesn't work) and was thinking of getting the low end card from 3D Labs. I am assuming that this will work, but is there an alternative?

Not sure if its just me. The 3D Labs VXG1 card OGL works fine with Vue version 3 thru 4.02b from Win OS 98 to XP. With Vue 4.05 to 4.06-2, the OGL is unpreditable with Win 2K and XP Pro. Not sure about the rest of the 3S Labs card.

Thanks people. The VXG1 is the card I was thinking about... sounds like I will have to re-think that strategy. Any other card from 3D Labs is out of my price range, the same goes for the GeForce 4 I'm afraid. If the 4 works, I wonder if the GeForce 3 Ti 200 works. Anybody have one?

I have an original GeForce3 card before they became the TI series and I don't use openGL mode. It works, but I didn't find that it ran any faster than nonGL mode and if I had anything other than wireframe mode it was too slow redraw of the view ports.

Don't get a Radeon, my OpenGL sucks in Vue 4 with it, the Rage 128 chipset seems Ok though, my computer at work uses that and I ran a test and it seems OK. best wishes Jody

Funny - I'm running ATI Radeon VE (7000 now) w/ dual monitors, and my OpenGL works great. The trick is that the ATI installation of OpenGL is flawed. It fails to properly set up one of the registry parameters. After you install it, you have to go into the registry and change one of the settings manually. Look into the ATI documentation for installing the card under WinNT. It gives you a manual tweak I applied under XP which solves any problems I had running OpenGL.

Gf3Ti200 no openGL in VUE no matter which driver,my other system has a Matrox G400 which works fine if I use the right drivers.

Yeah, I have ATI Radeon (32 M card) and it works very nicely with windows 2000 (using driver found on 2000 disk, I think) I did have to turn it off when I was using win ME, however, because my machine locked up constantly with it turned on. eric
