Does anyone have experience with a faster processor ?
Is there any processor or 3d card out there that can handle the game with
constant high framerates ?
please reply by email
Thanx and kind regards

Geforce2. I'm running at 1024x768, with low detail "other cars",
mirrors on just showing cars and track, no pit objects, no extraneous
objects, view distance 125% etc. and it is quite smooth for me. There
is a very slight drop in frame rate at the start of a race, but
otherwise I've got F1 2000 running very nicely and looking good.
Turning off smoke, particles and other cars to low detail makes the
biggest frame rate difference I have found. Just turn down some
options and you should get a good consistent frame rate. If not then I
guess the P3 is the way to go with this game. Full detail settings and
high res are just no possible in this game on todays cpu's. Maybe a
1.5ghz Williamette will do it. :-)

Did I say half? Either get a machine that can run it or stop whining.

I'm running GPL with 3.68 nvOpengl.dll and it is never below 36fps
with 19 cars and 1024x768 res.

Really? I just switched form a Voodoo3 to a Geforce2 and I can assure
you it runs better on the Geforce2. Was able to up my res from 800x600

I had to turn sidebanding off when I play GPL or it locks up. LOD
slider in the middle. Try turning mip mapping to fastest setting or

Now if we could just get the Act Labs shifter support in GPL, I may never
leave the house again...
Thanks again,
