I'd like anyone with a 200MMX to post here (or E-MAIL me) how many fps
estimate you get with absolutely everything on, all objects, all
textures, everything in the mirrors, and everything in the mirrors
textured.  I'll get things started . . .

Dell dimension XPS 200MMX
32 RAM
Virge 2MEG STB video card (I will swap this very soon)
14.2 estimated fps

Just for info.  I've got a P200Pro, 32meg, 4meg Matrox Millenium,
everything on gives estimated 17.something fps, but it always slows down
when displaying smoking cars in front (but never smoke from my own tyres).
When I first played I cranked everything on and pressed the estimate button
and it recommended the max frame rate, so off I went, got onto the grid at
Silverstone, marvellous scenery... the race started and it jerked along, so
I cranked it down on the fps and its ok.  I now play with all on except
textured scenery in mirrors and no textured smoke it runs at max fps
perfectly.

Im running the same system 200mmx and rendtion blaster,with only curbs
and all objects on I get the max FRate,even though the recommened frame
rate is 10 or some low number,which you must ignore.The only way is to
use your o key,I get readings with the above configuration of 60% to
90%.Are you sure your tabulating your results the right way?

Yo i have a 200 mmx and 32 meg of edo ram but i have a 3dblaster too
and for games that are not made for it
it have exstremly poor frame rates
this is how poor it is
every thing on 9.8 but if i take it all off everythin i get 15 fps
so with a good video you should get 25 fps with everything but sky
and about 19 or 20  whith sky on
3dblaster sux for gp2

I own the same computer but have already switched to the 4MB EDO DRAM
Diamond Stealth 2000 and got estimated 17.2 fps.

I have a 200MMX, ASUS Board, 40 meg EDO, ATI PCtoTV 4meg.      
I was disapointed With the frame rate of GP2,  I thought That I would be
able to get 30 FPS in Monaco With everything on,  Wrong!!!
I only get 17fps estimated. The frame Rate at the Start/Finish Line in
Monaco is worse. I think That it's not the machine, but the game
itself.

Well,
I'm running a 200MMX, 64MB Ram, Verite 4MB 3D board, 512k cache, all
that you'd need right? Same deal, but everybody knows the Monaco
problem, and the general graphics/framerate deal with GP2, so I won't
say much except that I get generally 17fps or so with all options on.
So I turn some off and it runs smooth, and I just don't get to race at
Monaco much. (other tracks are much better)
It's hard to figure out how some games such as Tomb Raider, or even
Road Rash can include so many beautiful graphics at such a high frame
rate, but I guess thats the price GP2 pays for having such an
excellant driving model.
For my money, this game is still the best.
Would it be too much to ask of Microprose to do a GP3 with the same
framework but updated tracks, multiplayer, a paintkit...etc?? Please??
I'd hate for a new game to come out and overshadow this one just
because they never updated it.
But these things have all been discussed here many times before so
I'll shush.

see you at Imola
