Yes it's true, last night I pulled my trusty Canopus Pure 3D last...and
replaced it with a Maxigamer 3D2! Wow, what a difference! The Pure 3D was
holding my PII 400 back, now, with the Voodoo II, I'm able to run GPL at
1024x768 with full detail and most mirror options. The detail is just
incredible, I can see much further down the track and the whole sim runs
smoother. On a full grid, middle of the pack and***pit view, my fps jumped
from 15-19 to 25-28 with the Maxigamer and a solid 36 after the first turn
madness :-) If I use the...cough...external view, fps never drops below 32 at
the start. My starts are now a lot cleaner.

I am surprised, however, that F1RS doesn't look any different. Is there a way
to know what resolution F1RS is running?

ok fqrs runs in 640X420 and you can't change it.

O and how many ram does your system have because its running very fast in
gpl.
And if you have a benchmark program could you send me a benchmark like too
see if my 400 is as fast

I went from a Pure3D to a Guillemot Phoenix (Banshee) this past week.

I believe F1RS only runs 640x480, but MGPRS2 runs much higher res. But it
doesn't look at that much better at hi res to me.

Try the TOCA2 demo. 800x600 or 1024 really improves the looks of the graphics
in that game.

The Wicked 3d drivers are not that great when it comes to forcing a higher
resolution. It is too slow .... It works well in some Direct 3D games like
Shogo, or Tomb Raider 2.

I received a copy of F1RS with my last wheel, I have a Monster Fusion, and can't get it to
run. 3DFx logo spins, screen goes black. Any suggestions? TIA.

It sits right there next to GP2, in the bin... ;^)
