Reply #5 - 21.02.12 at 05:30:01 Not at the moment...but possibly in a day or two maybe... I'd have to borrow my step-mom's camera as I don't own a digital camera. But yeah I could probably post some.

Just for full disclosure, I should say that this card has been stored outside in a tool shed for the better part of nearly 2 years, subject to freezing winter temps, summer heat and humidity, but protected from other elements, ie: rain snow, wind, etc.

I do plan on checking it out way in advance of making a decision to part with it, that way if it fails to run, no one is gonna get screwed over.

Reply #7 - 14.12.12 at 01:59:14 Just for the record, in case anyone is considering this card at all. It's trash. I used to own one, there were many different versions of the card and it didn't support 3D (DirectX or OpenGL) properly.

thanks for letting me know. I never even got around to checking it out. The pc I had at the time was a compact workstation type pc and the card would not fit in it due to it's size. I'm on a larger pc now but now that I know that the card is crap, what is the point?

You can use it to run the S3D API games. See my list of known supported games here:

Normally a S3 Virge GX2 will be the recommended card, but for Terminal Velocity a DX is required. Also a DX will be good enough for games like Havoc, Whiplash, Actua Soccer, POD.
