| 3D Video Card (optional) |
DirectX-certified, 2 MB video RAM that supports the miniGL port (Quake subset) of OpenGL. We have found that the TNT line of cards to be faster (due to a full, good implementation of
OpenGL). As well, the 3Dfx line of cards will not run in a window, thus BGII will not run in a window with these cards. Direct3D support may be added, but is not currently implemented. |
