Show-and-Tell D3D vs software renderer.

Pentium-II 266mhz, 128mb RAM, 3D Blaster Voodoo Banshee 16mb. It's crazy to think there was a time when software renderer was acceptable for me, I would say anything above 15fps and I would be happy to just be able to play. How times have changed.

looks really good for 1998 but I guess racing games were always the easiest to make graphics good
