Geoforce & GPL - How's the framerates?

by Jchar » Wed, 24 May 2000 04:00:00

Well like a lot of people I'm undecided on whether to get a Voodoo5 or a
Geoforce 2.  Basically I only play 2 games - GPL and Unreal tournament -
both optimised for Glide.  Right now I have a TNT2 and it get's the job
done - just barely.  I know GPL will run better in glide but I'm wondering
how well it will run with the Geoforce (1 or 2).  Can you run with all
options and correct mirrors or do you still have to tweak?   Right now my
mirrors only update once every 3 frames.

I'm running a P3 600 with 2x AGP.

Thanks in Advance,

Jcharm

Just tested GPL with Voodoo 5 5500 and FSAA 4x, it looks gorgeous, really
gorgeous.

I have a GeForce DDR (Elsa Erazor X2), Athlon 600, 256MB and play GPL in
1024x768, detail-slider 30%, mirrors every 2nd frame, some eye-candy
disabled and I get a steady 36fps (dropping to approx. 30 fps at a start
in monaco at the back of the grid with 19 AI cars). If you just want ONE
card and you don't play GPL only: go for a GeForce DDR.

Can you tell us more details, like resolution, framerate and PC specs?

I (and I`m sure many more people) would greatly appreciate it.

For me:

P3-866 / 128MB PC800 RAM / 64MB Dell GeForce DDR - In GPL everything on, detail
slider at 50%, MirrorsEvery = 2, resolution 1280x1024.

Frame Rate 36-38 most of the time.  I realize the max is supposed to be 36.  
Trust me - I see 38's ;)

I've got a PIII 450 running at 600 (133x4.5) and a GeForce DDR overclocked
to 140/350 an I run GPL at 1280x1024 with full detail and mirrors updated
every 3 frames and it runs at 36 fps except right at the start where it
drops to about 15 fps for a short while. It looks great and I'd even run it
at 1600x1200 but my monitor drops to only 75Hz. My old Voodoo 2 SLIs gave a
constant 36 FPS even at the start but GeForce looks so much better.
