Voodoo 3 + RT = OK?

Hi, I'm running a P500 with a V3, and would love to try Rally Trophy when it's released. Can anyone help with these questions 1. Do I really NEED a cpu upgrade 2. Can I hold on to my V3 (which is working sweetly under GPL) TIA Michael

Not for RT. > 2. Can I hold on to my V3 (which is working sweetly under GPL) Sure, I run one and had no problems (which is a first for recent games...). Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

The RT demo runs acceptably enough with a 450/V3 at 1024X768 with all the graphic options at minimum. But; it FRAPS-out at about 15-25FPS, usually in the high teens. Oddly, the FPS is the same from 640X480 to 1280X1024, suggesting a CPU bottleneck. That seems strange for a one-car demo, but it DOES run, unlike F1-2001.

My V3 3000 runs it pretty well, but I have a 1.4ghz tbird under the hood :) Running at 1024 with full detail isn't a problem for me, smooth frame rate. yep, bummer about f1 2001. I'll be getting a GF3 shortly, so I'll be loving the good life then:D Rafe Mc On Fri, 02 Nov 2001 21:45:31 GMT, "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote:
