GP2 and Cyrix?

How's F1GP2 on a Cyrix 133 MHz (P166+) ? Tommi

I run GP2 on a Cyrix P150+ with 32mb EDO, Matrox MGA, ASUS Motherboard with Triton2 Chipset. About 20 fps in SVGA with 80% of all details on. No sky, no detail in mirrors. Robert

I have an identical system exept I have p166 instead of your Cyrix and I can run most tracks with full details(exept sky) and get over 20 fps...of course not monaco and hockenheim and monza because of those trees. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<Ville Kopu>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ViK at IRC, #f1 & #gp2 http://koti.kolumbus.fi/~vkopu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<Second is first of loserS>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A P150 is slower not only in processor speed but also in bus speed. You lose about 10% speed on the bus 60 vs 66 so that also is a factor. I run a Cyrix P166 and my results are about like yours.

Well I have a Cyrix 166+ 32EDO, MGA 2Mb Triton 2 Motherboard and can run the game at 15fps with all detail including mirrors. I have seen at Pentium 200 with similar specification only able to run the game at exactly the same speed with a P133 running the game at 9 fps so your 166 must be faster than it should be according to these figures
