Just got a prophet  geforce 3 card and am pleased with the performance.

However, I was running GP3 with everything maxed out and a processor
occupancy of about 60%.

I then enabled quincunx antialiasing and the processor occupancy went up to
800% and the game was unplayable.

I didnt think that quincunx was going to have such a performance hit.

Hi,

GP3 seems to hate any GeForce based FSAA, and it apparently is no better
with the 3 version.

Ken. make this comparison, 2X FSAA in GP3 then QUINCUNX, if it's the same
results then something is fudgy in that game... the card has lot's I mean lot's
of rooms for these easily even at 1600 x 1200 32 bits

That's GP 2.5 for ya. Substandard software doesn't run well on top of the
line hardware.
