Does anybody have experience of formula simulators with:
P2 350MHz, 64Mb, 6.4Gb, Millenium G200 (without 3d card)
or with a computer close to that
How would it do in GP2, F1RS and GPL?
How much would the computer above cost in Your country?,
In Finland about 11 000fim= 2 200U$ (without sound card)
Hi !!
Hmm. I've a P2 333 too with 64 Mb but a 3dfx Voodoo 1 with a TNT...
GP2 runs very well (at last !!) but GPL is very hard with processors...a TNT
is almost sufficient (20 fps with lots of cars..you'd have 10 fps with a
G200)...
F1RS (and Monaco GPRS2) have no problems since P200 is widely sufficient
(with a 3dfx) or P2 233 with a Direct 3d card (G200, TNT, ATI..)
In my country it'd be 1800 $
Bye !!
I've a Puter very close to yours with a G200 a celeron 300 A , 128 meg sdram
100mhz , a 6.4 Hd too (seagate) and a 3D PCi Sound Blaster card
OI must confess than the G200 is very poor to play GPL (even with matrox
patch), a lot of display errors and colours are crappy , the Fps are not
terrific too .
But got too , a few month ago, a creative Voodoo2 3 dfx too which is really
great in this game :o)
Buy one , or replace your G200 by a Banshee
Concerning the price of my puter , It cost me around 1100 $ without the
monitor
GP2: Fine. You'll have to turn a couple of things off.
F1RS: Fine. The D3D patch works well on the G200.
GPL: The Matrox patch is beta. Good frame rates (36 fps most
of the time at 800x600) but too many visual artifacts. If
they fix the artifacts, the G200 will be a good GPL card.
If they don't, you'll want to switch to a Rendition card or
add a Voodoo.
