My Celeron 300A CPU cost me about 90$.
So you say you get 36 fps at the grid starting last at 800x600 with 19 AI
drivers at Monaco? I don't think thats true. Other K6-2 owners please report
results. I think you'll get about 9 fps.
You have not duplicated my test. Do so before posting please.
I know this based on reports from other K6-2 owners. For instance (Look at
the last post, 6.5 fps K6-2 300!):

Running on a Tyan 1590S w/K6-2 350 and a Voodoo Banshee.Runs very well.
It slows down a bit at race starts with too many cars.
Definitely go with the fastest processor you can afford.
PII's will be better, but they do cost more.
A Celeron 300A and an Abit BH6 are the way to go for price/performance,
IF you want to fool around with an overclocked system. Not for the weak
hearted in my opinion, but bang for the buck is tremendous.

Ray, I just upgraded to a AMD K6-2/350 and a new motherboard with 100
front
side bus with 64 mb of SDRAM,just so I could "play" gpl and be ready for N3
(N2000). I run a Diamond Monster Voodoo 1 graphics 3dfx accelerator card.
I was going to upgrade to a Voodoo 11,but there have been so many posts
reguarding problems with the V2,that I opted to stay with my old card for
now. I get 30-36 fps with all graphics on except just cars/track in the
mirrors in practice. In a race I run full 19 car fields. The fps at the
start really varies according to where I qualified,but even defaulting to
the rear,I get only 6-8 fps,but once the race starts it quickly increases in
to the low 20s fps. Decreasing the number of cars dramatically increases my
frame rate. But I bought gpl to race against a full field.
Re: K6-2 300 + GPL = 6.45 fps ( with Voodoo2 )

I have a K6-2/300 & a V2 and I too get pretty crappy framerates from
this game. Even with max detail there still doesn't appear that much
going on on-screen to explain this lack of performance. Other
graphically superior games simply runs rings around this stupid game.
K6-2 300 + GPL = 6.45 fps ( with Voodoo2 )

OK, I saw post like "my K6-2 rocks in GPL" and I thought there is something
wrong with my system. I posted an article here in R.A.S. that GPL is
unplayable on K6 and somebody said that there is something wrong with my
system. So let me ask you again how much fps do you AMD owners get at
Monaco, 19 opponents, all graphic details to the max. ( and I mean ALL..
mirrors, detail bias all the way to the right... ), 800x600, 5 sounds,
analog controller, starting at the back of the field. I have Voodoo2 8 MB. I
know you will say that I must be crazy for having all graphics maxed out but
that is just easier to describe than " I have textures on cars but not on
fences, etc. ".
I would really like you guys to post your frame rates so I can decide on
what to do: stick to Super 7 format with AMD chips ( waiting for that K6-3
500 ;-) or go with Slot 1 w. Celeron300A.
In the mean time I will just practise, nothing wrong with frame rate in free
training!!
