GPL question (video)

Will GPL run on a 16M Voodoo Banshee card? I am relatively new to the game but its fine on my GeForce 32MX I am going to install the game on my sons computer (or should I say the ex wifes?) Didnt know if GPL worked ok with a 3DFX card. PIII 550, 96M ram are the other specs....Thanks in advance for any help. Lee You cant legislate fate...get over it

Your PC should be fine. I run it on a PII400 / 320Mb RAM / Banshee 16M / Windows 98SE / USB Guillemot FFB wheel - I usually get a contant 36fps except at the start where it drops to about 29fps with full detail. I run 8 sounds (I've got a really crappy 1868 ESS audio card) and 19 opponents. Couple of hints - some of the hi-res 3rd-party patches might have a bit of a hit on frame rate, and my Windows 98 install is optimised for gameplay only (i.e. a very clean, minimal install with no extra software running or installed other than what's required).

And I run it at 800x600. Cheers Hamish "Hamish Strong" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:R7WS6.1330$[email hidden]...

Hamish I used to run a Banshee card on an AMD 233 with fairly good results. One thing, make sure you have the most up to date video card drivers and make sure GPL is patched to 1.2 Cheers Stewart KS Lee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wOXS6.77099$[email hidden]...
