Title: Help!
Post by: Singh on December 11, 2003, 07:09:05 am: I currently have a Nvidia Riva 128ZX card, but I can't play FS2 since it says that I have no 3d acceleration or 3D Glide on the driver (or the card, I have no idea which). Any idea where I can get a latest driver for this?

Does this little freespacer ever have the hope of playing the glory of a game that is FS2? :(

heh, as a testament to how old this chip is, there's even a Windows 3.1 driver for it on there...

This ol system is actually a free one given by a cousin, who threw it away second hand....let's see if I can't find a cheap card somewhere tho, after all, this IS singapore :D
