I am wondering whether or not a game like GPL wouldbenefit frame rate wise
from my adding a second 12 Meg Voodoo 2? I found a steal of a deal but if it
won't help it is probably isn;t worth it.
I have a K6-2 350 and 128 Megs pc100 and GPL runs 25 to 36 FPS at Monza,
Race with 7 AI beasties running around with me.
Any thoughts on this?

While I agree that the AI and other things in GPL use up a lot of
processor time, wouldn't it make sense that you could at least go up
in screen resolution?
I mean ... I run with a P233 and an 8meg Voodoo 2. I have several
graphic options turned off, and race with 12 AI cars. With this
setup, I get about 20fps at the start, and hover around 30fps during
the race. I'm using 640x480.
If I add another 8meg V2, I would hope that I could up the screen
resolution dramatically -- without losing my framerate. If I could
run GPL at 1024x768, I'd consider that to be a huge improvement; even
if I couldn't add more AI or screen detail.
Is THIS assumption correct?
thx, EugOre
I don't know if a 350mz processor will handle 2 V2s to the point where
you see a benefit. I can say I am running in 1024, every option on, 19
AI drivers and I have yet to see the FPS below 35.xx, start or
otherwise.

would you care to elaborate which graphics options you have turned
off? I'm running on a K6-250 (200 o/c'ed to 250, 83mhz bus) with a
voodoo I and would like to be able to compare the values you gave
to my setup.
Thanks in advance,
Uwe
