I downloaded the opengl beta driver for GPL and am only getting 21.x fps
incar, 36 outside car.  This is in all resolutions.  Is there a magic
setting in the display properties for the GEForce?  Maybe a tweak in the
core.ini to up the fps?
I'm sure this has been brought up, but I was unable to find any posts on
this. Sorry if this has been hashed out before.
I just hope I'm not going to have to swap my geforce for my voodoo3 3k every
time I wanna play GPL.   :(

any info appreciated...
thanks in advance

did you install the specified lines into the core.ini? if so then try
using a MirrorsEvery = 3 or 4 setting. nVidia's OpenGL sucks at copying
the mirror texture over so doing that every frame can severely impair
the framerate.

maybe this will help.

I use trilinear filtering and mirrors every 2nd frame and my
GPL-settings are: 1024x768, all textures except sky/clouds, drivers arms
and slanted tires (dunno the english expression ;-), mirrors: cars and
track with textures, detail slider halfway, fire and smoke, nothing else
tagged on the right, 16 sounds. gives me allways 36fps: at start in
monaco from the back offline, in online races etc. just drops to 25-30
fps when there is a VERY bad crash. if you have a GeForce DDR and an
athlon or P3, you have probably set mirrors to every frame - this gives
me about 25 fps ...
