I haven't played GPL since last fall when I sold my Logitech wheel. I'm considering getting back into it but I am now with a different video card. I am using a: Gigabyte GV-GF1280RT GeForce 2 Will this work with GPL using the D3D patch? What kind of performance should I anticipate?

It obviously also depends on the rest of your system, but it should work fine in d3d mode. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash zzzzzzzzzz <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I haven't played GPL since last fall when I sold my Logitech wheel. > I'm considering getting back into it but I am now with a different > video card.

It will work. How well depends on how many graphical add-ons you want to use. For example I have a AMD 1800xp and a GF3. I have some assume add-ons for all the cars and tracks. With a full field at 1600x1200 res I only pull 14 fps in D3D or 17 in OGL. Once the field spreads out it comes right up to the capped 36 fps. Now I don't want to scare you because with the graphics I have IMO GPL looks better than NR2002. So as always it comes down to what you want to spend vs. what you want to see. MadDAWG
