Hello, it seems like a lot of people have questions about how certain
hardware will affect FPS in GPL and a lot of other games (sims) as well.
After searching in vain for a web site w/ benchmarking, I have a suggestion:
Will someone with a couple of computers or spare parts do some benchmarks
with GPL. It wouldn't be too hard to compare if the grid was the same at
the start of the race. If there is a site out there w/ benchmarks please
reply and let me know.
Thanks
P.S.
GPL is a hell of a great sim, thanks to the guys and gals who made it
possible.
Hi!
This has already been done at
http://www.dirkwagner.de
Click on "gpl-benchmark". It's all in German, but I think the techspecs
aren't too difficult to read ;))

I like their benchmark setup, but I would like to see results for higher
resolutions than 800x600.
Their benchmark is as follows (the site seems to be down right now)
[with reservations for errors in my translation from German]:
- Single race at Monaco with 19 AI and player last in grid (skip practice)
- 800x600 resolution
- Absolutely every other option maxed out, e.g detail bias at max,
full mirrors, all objects, all textures, 16 sounds etc.
- Stay put at the start
- In car view
benchmarks numbers:
1: The lowest FPS encountered (I skipped initial fluctuations which
meant this occured when the AI started the race)
2: FPS when the last AI disappears behind the first right turn
3: The highest FPS encountered (should be just before the player is
thrown out)
My results:
Pentium Pro 233, 192MB, Voodoo2, SoundBlaster 16, PDPI
800x600 1024x768
1 4 3
2 7 6
3 11 11
Athlon 700, 128MB, Voodoo3 3000, SoundBlaster live
800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
1 25 21 18 17
2 36 36 32 26
3 36 36 36 31
Numbers for a high end setup with a GeForce would be interesting
(especially at the highest resolutions), any takers?

I wondered what is the maximum steady frame rate people are seeing with GPL
?
I get 36 fps , I have seen more with v1.2 but find the variation in fps more
trouble than it's worth
would a second voodoo2 in SLI increase fps ( I'm happy at 800x600 ) or is
this as good
as it gets ?
