Heres the preview, click the link at the bottom to get a ton of new pics. It
says software mode at the bottom but my guess is that there all hardware.
Oh baby!

Is that guess influenced by the way it says "GP3 Hardwaremodus" after each
picture?

Uh...

They are all in software mode and do not have any 3d blending whatsoever.
It's really easy to see.

They're re-sized images. Someone told me there were 1024x758 shots, but they
resized it to 640x480, this way it looks better...

Look at the shot close up to the right front corner of the prost, and look
at the pics with smoke in them.

That's 3D hardware accelerated.

I was mistaken at first too.  If you look carefully, you can see that the
textures aren't really anti-aliased.  Also, there's bands of color in the
shading that you wouldn't see in 24-bit color.

I think the screenshots were resized, creating the illusion of anti-aliasing
and more than 256 colors.  I think the first screenshots that came out were
lower resolution, which is why these look so much better.

The interviewer from PC GAMER (Trevor Whitt) visited a GP3 forum a few weeks ago
and stated that the interview took place a few months ago. So there was some
delay afterwards...
