How well can I expect GP3 to perform on my two year old 12 meg Voodoo2 3dfx
card?  Thanks in advance.

Dan Belcher has a p2 - 450  I beleive
he can't seem to figure out what his primary video card is
I thought it was a TNT 1 though
I think he also has 128 mb ram
and an almost filled HD
Gateway

:)

PII400mhz, 64mb RAM, 1 gig free space on my h/d, pathetic CD ROM that takes
forever to even spin up...

About the same as GP2 performed I would think.

Thanks Jan.  If GP3 is as good as GP2, I'll be perfectly happy!

According to the readme included in warez version it is supported.

 Anyone having black spots appear on the track?
 I have a V3 2000 AGP, which of course is not on the list.

What kind of horsepower have you got Dan (CPU)?

You're looking good... 800x600 with loadsa eye-candy easily at 21fps I think
if you drop the reflections when it rains.

I don't know how the released version will handle this, but you might need
to fiddle with a text file to get a correct display (like what's behind you
in the mirrors instead of two copies of the wheel). You won't gain a lot in
terms of occupancy when using your V2, but it does look a lot nicer than
software.

Good luck Dan, hope it delivers for you.

Satisfaction guaranteed... it's better than Gp2, IMO, no question.
