Does GPL support my Riva 128 (Viper 330)?

Hello,

A few months ago I downloaded the GPL demo, but it was pretty much a
disappointment, because there was no support for my Viper 330 (Riva 128), so
it could only run in 320 x 240 software mode. That's the only reason that I
didn't buy the complete version yet. I have to say that even in this mode I
could already feel the superb driving physics of this game. So could someone
please tell me if the complete game does support my Riva 128? If it does,
I'll buy it today.

Yes, there is an Open GL driver available at Papy.com.

Does GPL support my Riva 128 (Viper 330)?

I'm running a PII 266, with 64 Meg of SDRAM, and a Viper V330 4meg PCI
card....

I did the minimum install of GPL, and regardless of wither or not I run
***pit view or chase view I get about 15 FPS with the mirrors set to
minimum.

Still the graphics are excellent, and I'm sure with a bit of tweaking I'll
be able to improve on my FPS.....

I was pleasantly suppressed with the OpenGL beta 2 drivers.. Because like
you...

I had nothing but probelms with the demo before the OpenGL drivers...

I'd say, it's worth the cost, besides there is a mgfr rebate coupion
available that will give you a BIG discount!

Good luck
Jay J
