i've try it at work : P2 400 , GeForce 256, no FF wheel.

It's short :

only 640x480 works, maybe a driver problem.
Other resolution crash the PC.
The mirrors don't works fine ( they flick ) , i've set mirrorsync = 1
only 25fps when i get 30fps with my TNT2 on a 300mhz PC.
At starting race , only 5fps ( like on my TNT2 ).

well, i'm starting to think that OpenGL implementation of GPL is VERY bad.
All games i've try with the GeForce hav been improve ( Quake3, DTR, HalfLife ).

i'm not going to buy one.

But have you tried GPL on a GeForce using the unified drivers (allows you
to play Glide games without a voodoo card)?

No, i've used openglbeta for gpl from papyrus.
Do you have try this with a TNT ? Is it faster than openGl ?

The GeForce is at work so it can't escape from me and my CD of GPL :o)

It's on the Creative Labs website - you need to have a creative labs card
to use it.

Thank you for your valuable info.

These days, I'm thinking about to buy or not to buy GeForce
card. But, It seems to better sticking with Voodoo 3.

 Napalm will be the card for Papyrus lovers...

You need a creative serial nr. to download it. Any TNT card can use it.
