Can I get decent framerate with a Geforce or TNT2 card? 25+ ....
How does it look, better than a V3?
Is OpenGL supported by Papyrus at all?
Thanks,
Martin.

I recently upgraded from Voodoo Banshee to Geforce Pro. That was throwing
good money away. The Voodoo Banshee outperformed the Geforce Pro in GPL.
With the Geforce Pro I can get 16-36 FPS in 800x600 (in car view), and
stable 36 FPS in chase view. I've turned off some of the details, and
lowered the mirror updating frequency (they are useless anyhow without a
3Dfx-card). I haven't noticed any desireable difference in picture quality.
If there is any, it isn't enough to compensate for the lack of mirrors and
FPS.
If your main interest is GPL, stick to Voodoo cards. Voodoo cards may not
give you 90+FPS in Unreal Tournament, but it enables you to play GPL with no
trouble whatsoever.

Just today I tested...
A PIII 450 (boosted to 600) 128 MB and GeForce 256 gave average 40 fps
(Deathmatch Morpheus map singleplayer 11 bots 1024*768 terrain on med and
16bit palette)...
While a PII Celeron (clocked to 450) 128 MB and V32000 16mb pushed 50fps
with the lowest point at 26fps... same settings...
Tell me am I doing something wrong?
Quake 3 is another story though....

Too late for me: I already got the Geforce anyway !!!

I don't know yet, i am currently downloading the GPL demo. I will know how
GPL will perform with my new computer (P3-500 with 64 megs of RAM and a 1
Meg Trident card, yes i ran out of money. I don't have enough $ to get a
video card or sound card...)
Last night I tried NASCAR 3, the graphics at 800x600 with all the graphics
on was not bad at all. It wasn't the best, but it was completely raceable.
It was much better than my old P-166 32 megs of RAM with a voodoo 1 at 640
I have 5 megs left to download the demo, wish me luck LOL
