Just got a new GF2 Ti 64MB.  Which will look the best and yield the
highest framerate?  I have an Athlon 1.2Ghz w/ 384MB RAM.

Its best to test for yourself, but I found that in GPL, I got better framerates with D3D with my GF2
MX400. In N4, OpenGL is by far the way to go for a GF2 card.

GPL:
Using D3D ITM. Having ongoing stutter, especially in replays (only TV1 and
TV2-view, anybody an idea?)
Tried OpenGL. Nicer graphics, smoother flow, no stutter but unusable due to
disappearing menus.

Other sims:
Are there any? <g>

MSi Geforce2 GTS 64 DDR
Soundblaster live
256 MB DDR-ram
not enough beer against the frustration

1. DirectX 6.1, GPL and OpenGL drivers = CRASH!

2. GPL 1.1 with DirectX/OpenGL support?

3. GPL, 3dfx, OpenGL and DirectX

4. GPL OpenGL beta - opengl.zip (0/1)

5. N4: DirectX 8 or OpenGL?

6. Nascar 2003 Season Demo, DirectX 9 compliance and OpenGL

7. OpenGl GPL Driver Crashing GPL!

8. MGP demo (F1RS2) won't run with Directx 5.0 - where can I get Directx 6.0?

9. GPL: Directx 6 frustration
