My guess is that GP2 doesn't support either of those cards directly.  GP2 only
supports standard VGA and SVGA.  To see speed differences the game has to
support the chipset directly.  This is why programs like NASCAR has different
versions. Each version supports different chipsets.

Processor also counts- even  more I would say...

: >>a Matrox Millennium. The frame rate is the same.
: >Processor also counts- even  more I would say...
: No difference what so ever. And this is what I find so strange.

I am getting totally confused.  While testing my "humble" ATI Mach64,
I've tried everything (short of upgrading my mb/cpu) and found no
changes.  The big theory being floated around here is to set the fps to
2-3 less than the estimated.  Well I did that and I get EXACTLY the same
CPU % under the identitical texture details.  I'm beginning to think
that this quest for the holy video grail is a case of mass hypnosis.

If I understand the posts and theory, I should see a drop in CPU% if I
lower the frame rate, right?  I can set it down to 4-5 less than the
estimated and nothing changes.  I must be missing something here.  The
only difference I can force is to lower the detail level.  Changing
frame rate doesn't do diddly for me.

Maybe by the time GP3 comes out I will have saved enough pocket change
to upgrade my CPU/mb :(
