Is there anybody who can compare the Geforce2 framerates in GPL with those
of a Voodoo 3 3500 for example? (with the new D3D patch )

I kept on to the Voodoo 3 just for GPL but now I'm thinking about making the
brand switch.

I used to get 36fps continually on a Voodoo3, on a Geforce2 in D3D

I have a V3 3000 on a PIII 700 o/c to 903... 36fps constant all detail on -
19AI Monaco... Replaced the card with a GForce2 GTS DDR - installed the D3D
rasterizer and got the same 36fps... There are some very minor graphical
glitches in some text, but whilst racing I could not tell the difference
between glide & D3D... For me, I've retired the Voodoo3 and will be sticking
with the GForce2...

The both of you have very fast systems so I'm not quite sure whether those
figures say anything about the GPL's processor hunger.
I think I'll wait for GP3 before I decide on which graphic card to buy. The
Geforce 2(even the 'old' Geforce DDR) seem to be the way to go without the
need for Glide.

I used to get a constant 36fps on a P3 500 Katmai and Vooodoo3 too
though, I don't know about the Geforce2 on that processor  because I
just got it and have the P3 800 installed right now and do not want to
go through the hassle of switching cpu's around.
