GPL and CL Banshee: Anyone using this combo ? Demo & 3DFX No-Worky?

I am using a Guillemot Phoenix Banshee with GPL and it runs quite well. Are you using the original demo or the newer version?

I am looking to purchase GPL but am a bit concerned that the demo version will not run in 3DFX mode with my CL Voodoo Banshee. Is anyone running GPL on a CL Banshee set-up...Is this refusal to operate under 3DFX just a feature of the demo ? All input greatfully received. Paddy Howard

Mind you, I had to get the latest drivers from the Creative site to get the menus working correctly. Andrew

I am running the Diamond Monster Fusion Voodoo Banshee and it has run great straight out of the box But you do need a newer windows 95OSR2.1 or 98

I succumbed and bought GPL....And yes it works fine with a CL Banshee (unlike the demo..which refuses to start!) God! This is the most awesome piece of software I have ever seen. The sense of speed in unbelievable..And I'm running it at 1024 *768 on a PPro 166 system. In training I'm exceeding 35fps with fully detailed mirrors and full distance graphics! (no doubt the fps will drop as I start racing againt the AI competition...but I will have probably upgraded the system by the time I am competent enough to do that..) The physics modeling is truly remarkable. As a mate of mine once said.. "There aint 'alf some clever b*st*rds in the world" Paddy Howard....
