"4. Graphic Improvements
***********************
- Problem with 3Dfx Voodoo2 cards fixed."
So how come I still get a PO of 845% with minimum graphics configuration?
(Celeron 450 / Techworks Voodoo 2 8M)
Ah well, it's my birthday soon - maybe "someone" will buy me a new graphics
card.

It works fine on a 12mb Voodoo2, AFAIK 8mb V2 cards are not supported by
GP3.
The problem was that some Voodoo2's could not be selected as usuable. Now,
with the patch, you can use them. (Said nothing about processor occupancy).
Try your Voodoo 2 with F12k and see how good frame rates you get.
-Cheers!

Voodoo Banshee was based on the Voodoo 2, but not quite its equal, and
I was running F12K acceptably on my machine using a Banshee board until
I upgraded to a TNT2 recently.

PO. I had this problem and had to not use the usb speakers (unplug USB
connector and only use soundcard output into the speakers). I am using a
Voodoo 3 3000 also and thought it might have been the problem. If you don't
have this config, then you can disregard this message, but that fixed the
problem I was having with high PO.

understand is that I don't have any problems with other games (even machine
hungry ones like GPL) or even with software 3D under GP3. A Voodoo 2 is a
graphics *accelerator*, under GP3 it slows everything down massively!
