viable on mid-to-low system?

by rob » Sun, 01 Nov 1998 04:00:00

I ran GPL on my k6/233 with a Canopus Pure3d card and it was quite limited.
I could only race about 5 other cars.  In online play, I was usually seeing
12-15
fps.  About all I could do with decent performance was practice sessions
with no other cars.  Software rendering, fuhgettaboutit.
