GP2 Hardware Requirements

by Thomas Nuge » Fri, 15 Mar 1996 04:00:00

Talked to a friend of mine in Germany today.  In the newest edition
of "PC Player" there is extensive review of GP2.  The hardware
requirements were indeed shocking.  For example they menioned that
to run GP2 in VGA mode (320X200) on a P90 it would only play somewhat
playbale with half of the details turned off!  SVGA is totally
unplayable on a P90.  He did have other examples of what you need
for what detail level, but this alone I found quite shocking.  Now
I am of course somewhat skeptical since I have yet to see a game that
doesn't run nicely in VGA on a dx4 or P90 with a few exceptions of
course.  I would assume that they tested the beta version which is
obviously (hopefully) not optimized yet.  If those,however, are in
fact the correct results, then we (the majority who do not posess a
penium 166 or pentium pro) are in for a big disappointment!
