Does Vodoo Graphics speed up GP2??

I can only speak from my experience; 233mmx, 64 mg ram, millenium 2 video board. When I first loaded GP2, I also had a matrox m3d installed, bought in a moment of weakness<g>. Three months ago I installed a Pure3D with no visible change in GP2. The best thing you can do for that sim is get as much processor as you can afford! One o'those new P2 333's would be nice! Rather like driving a Ferrari instead of a Forti! Don

Why would anyone expect an increase in framerate in GP 2 with a 3d accelerator? GP2 doesn't use 3d acceleration, unless you guys have some special version that I'm not aware of? Just checking.... Ken

I never said I did...someone asked and in my own convoluted way I was trying to say, as you did, that Voodoo video cards have no bearing on frame rate in GP2. Sorry you misunderstood. I bought the Pure 3D for one thing only...F1RS, at least until GPL arrives! Don

If you strap your GP2 engine into your Ferrari PII 333, it's like putting a VW engine in a real Ferrari. Even trying to run GP2 on PII 300 on isn't going to get much more frames per second, let alone much more in the eye-candy department. -- **************************** Michael E.
