GP2 hw requirements

6 posts by 5 people · 18 Apr 1996 - 27 Apr 1996

Hello, I'm yet another one waiting for GP2 to ship. But I'm afraid when they finally release it I won't be able to play. My computer is 486SX25. I asked MicroProse (by e-mail) if the game will be playable (at least, I don't expect SVGA and a great frame rate of course) in my computer, but I'm waiting for two months and they still didn't answer me. Can anyone give me some info, please? Thanks in advance Ricardo Santos Barcelona

I'd recommend that people with low-end machines - who don't want to risk wasting their hard earned cash - wait (you should be used to waiting for GP2 by now) for the demo to be released. Mike T.
It seems likely that there will be a demo, but that it won't be released until a few weeks after the game ships. This is probably the only reason Virtual Karts and Grand prix Manager sold any copies at all. :-( Hopefully GP2 will be so utterly brilliant that nobody will mind. --

Yes, but only X days/months/years AFTER the full game is released. I've heard from a reliable source that it will be similar to the F1GP demo, i.e. a one track race-only demo.

On the web site it does say DX33 but A DX266 is a more sensible option. A processor upgrade will only cost about 20.00 (4000pts)
