Now I want to know if GTR2002 works on this machine and what performance I
can expect when driving with my Force-Feedback-wheel, which usually
decreases performance a little bit.
Thanks for comments

I wouldn't expect great performance but it should be decent. I usually run
40-60 fps when traffic thins out with a full field and graphics high on an
AMD 1600/512MB RAM/GF4 Ti 4400 (oc to 4600) at 1280x1024x32-bit. If you run
the game at no higher than 1024x768x16-bit, keep the settings low/med, turn
off some effects (like shadows) and manage the field properly by having only
enough cars to keep fps over 30 during the race you should be fine. I
fairly cheap upgrade to an ATI 9500 or GF4 Ti 4200 would be nice for you.
BTW, FF impact varies greatly. I see no negative fps hit with either my
MOMO or LWFF. This is not true for other brands, notably the MSFF wheel
which has always been a relative cpu hog.

There is a demo of F1 2k2, that should give you at least an idea of how
your system will run. Figure GTR will run somewhat slower because of added
track graphics and IF you run the full field, 37 vs 22 cars. You can
choose to run only partial groups, and that will speed things up some. The
V5 was a great card, but it is really starting to fall behind. If you use
FSAA, then plan on no more than 800x600.

Anyway, I'm mostly getting ~20fps at the start, and 30-40fps after
that, except at Sugo where I get between 20-30 when driving alone, and
something quite unplayable when more cars on the screen.

Not that i do...but things i wouldnt notice much driving at high speed like
the AI cars being in medium detail instead of high would go first....

BIG difference between a cache-strated Celeron and an AMD 2100+ running DDR
RAM, especially on a sim which is typically cpu intensive. Not surprising
you significantly outperform with the same video card.

Are we sure that the V5 works with F1-2002 at all? I know my V3
did not, nor did it work with F1-2001 (now have a ti-4200).
I ran F1 2001 on a V5. I'm pretty sure I read posts about F1 2002 working.

Thanks, but I live in Germany.

Good thought. Ill look at reviews of F1-2002 before I go and buy it.
