Just bought the v5500 and the graphics in gpl running 3dfx are terrible. The frame rates are great but at any resolution the graphics sort of break up. Tried open gl but all I get is 1/4 screen picture and a computer screen. Pentium 3 450 v5500 soundblaster live 192megs ram Any help would be appreciated as I bought this card because I thought with gpl there would be no problems. Thanks MILO

Were you using a Voodoo2 or 3 previously. If so you may not have completely uninstalled it's drivers. If not, I believe that the drivers for the Voodoo5 are still evolving. Check for the latest ones at their site. It may also have something to do with the settings you are using for the card. I don't have that card myself, but there maybe something in your default settings for it that need to be modified. Every account I've read is that it's a wonderful card for GPL even though the full-screen anti-aliasing does result in a frame-rate hit. Someone here should be able to compare settings with you to get it sorted out. Regards, Brett C. Cammack That's Racing! Motorsports Pompano Beach, FL

My advice is to NEVER EVER buy a card as soon as it comes out. NEVER!! DONT BE A GUINEA PIG FOR THE MANUFACTURER!! My simming is much too important to waste time testing unproven products. Period. Milo Johnson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Qp345.20070$[email hidden]...

I fully agree with you Rik :) Just wait untill they managed to put some decent drivers on the market... buying a card that has just hit the market is asking for incompatibilitty problem (hardware or driver related).... And prices will drop offcourse :) rik anthrax <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:l3445.42220$[email hidden]...

Rik... someone has to do it... I mean I was a guinea pig, did lots of testing and better yet, I shared my experience with GPL on my website.... http://www.simracingmag.com or http://simracing.com/simracingmag/ Eric rik anthrax wrote:
