>I reinstalled W98 yesterday and booted a fresh system. My system
>is a P2-400 with 128 MB RAM, VIper550 TNT card ....
>I use the 1.2 patch for the UK version and the openGL patch.

>When I use the actual drivers from Nvidia, then GPL starts I can choose
>everything in the menus and I can start to race. The graphics are hardware
>accelerated, so the openGL patch works. BUT! I only get about 0.7 frames
>per second!? Usually I get 37 frames with my configuration (I have turned
>off several features, changed the core.ini file and so on).

>I tried an alternative: the drivers from my revelator 3D glasses. Then GPL
>starts and delivers a black screen. But this screen is functional, when I
>click right down on the screen I go from menu to menu and finally I can
>race. What a miracle! - racing works in this mode!! The framerate is not
>very good (20-27 without traffic), but the graphics are totally okay.

>Its obvious that GPL is extremely sensible to graphic card drivers. Which
