GPL- OpenGL

4 posts by 3 people · 15 Apr 1999 - 15 Apr 1999

I've been using a 4 meg 3D card as my main video card with the Creative V.D. 2 for the 3dfx in GPL. I've had this AGP card for a while and decided to pop it in and see what the openGL looked like in GPL. So, I download the patch, Install it, select openGL in GPL and exit. Then restart GPL. Here's where my problem started.. Before even loading up the GPL opening screen I get a page fault error message for rastgl.dll. Any suggestions? I'd like to try this just to see what it looks like and if maybe it'll give me a smidgen more. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? MikeBa on the TEN network.

A 4meg card will give you horrendous frame rates with the OpenGL patch. Stick with your voodoo card for GPL, you're only real OpenGL option would be to get something like a TNT or something. Between a 4meg voodoo and a 4meg OGL card, I'd say the voodoo will give you a good 10fps more. Just my opinion though. :)

Didn't think of this till now. Maybe my card isn't openGL capable(?) I'm using a Trydent 9750 AGP w/4 meg. If I can't get the openGL to work, I still have the Voo Doo2 card.
