I have a 150 and I use VGA in GP2, am I alone? It really flies though.

> I have a 150 and I use VGA in GP2, am I alone? It really flies though.

I ran VGA on a P133 until someone told me to lower the frame rate below
the suggested one - now I run in SVGA with most textures on at 16fps -
doesn't sound a lot, but is very playable. Once I had played in SVGA I
couldn't go back to VGA! Ugh!

>I have a 150 and I use VGA in GP2, am I alone? It really flies though.

I used to play in VGA with just about all detail/texture on (about
16fps). I then switched most texture off and ran in SVGA (about
13fps). I`ve now switched almost all detail off (18.4 fps with
occupancy to spare). I think it is much easier to drive like this.
Others say I am imagining it.

Nope, you're not. I also prefer a higher framerate with all graphics
on. VGA RULES!!!

I've a 486DX2/66 with 20MB and a Trident 8900D card and at 8fps get
average occupancies around 80%. Can anyone suggest what part of the
system could be slowing it down most? I'm thinking of getting a P100
and follow up with a new gfx card.

I also use VGA. With all textures ON at the highest detail level (plus
most items visible in the mirrors), I get an estimate of >25.6 fps.

FWIW, my computer is a P133 with 256K cache, 16 megs memory, 1 meg PCI
Diamond Stealth SE video card.

Graphics card on and ISA bus?

I have a DX4-100 :(
So Yes, I use VGA also.

Can't we get a GP2 port to Alpha????? :)

No, VGA rules not, but in VGA the game runs smoother and the driving
feeling is much more better. Of course the SVGA is in principle better
but the real feeling is in VGA with all deatils turn on better then in
SVGA with some deatails and a low framerate.

BTW I have a OC 120 MHz; 16MB, 1MB miro 12sd.

I use Vga as my P-66 can't get above 15fps in SVGA with no detail. So I
run VGA with smoke, curbs, and track drawing in mirror and get and
estimate of over 25.6 but I set it at 21.3 to make sure it doesn't slow
down anywhere. I think it's easier as my system would be crawling if I
was in SVGA.

Your not the only one in VGA. I have a P133 with a Matrox Millenium and I
also run in VGA. I have about all the details on except sky and can get a
frame rate at 21 or 25 with all detail. According to gp2log my video score
is one of the highest i've seen in this newsgroup being a 457 and my cpu
speed is 258. I hate running with a low frame rate or low detail in SVGA.
I'm not looking at the stuff around me when I'm in the car, but when it's
not there I miss it.

I have a P100 and I have been playing in VGA for a while now and it
gives a better sense of speed than in SVGA which was like driving in
molasses. In SVGA with auto detail I was getting 100% processor occ.
just sitting on the grid! In VGA it's more like 60% or 70%. I also do
not leave the smoke on because it really drags my machine down.

Thats right!
I used to had a P100, and I played it in VGA.
Now I have a P166, and with SVGA this thing really flies ...

Where did you buy this P100? You need to send it back or get it
upgraded. I have a AMD586/133 which is the equivelant of a P75 - P90.
I run with ALL details in SVGA and it is Smooth.
