Will somebody confirm that F1 2002 runs on a Voodoo5?

Does the retail version of F1 2002 run on a Voodoo5 with Windows 98? Which version of driver is required? Thanks! - Ted

Absolutely. It runs on my Windows98SE system just fine. (Athlon XP1700). Usual framerates, IIRC, is 30-35. Stock Voodoo5 drivers. - Version 4.12.01.0666, dated 11-2-2000 "Ted D." wrote:

I have run the demo with a voodoo 5500 and it runs fine with a decent frame rate "Ted D." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Usual framerates, IIRC, is 30-35. 30-35 fps with a 1.7? Rats, that means I may only get about 20 or so(1.2G). Probably not usuable.

In the case of sims these days, it's the V5 holding you back Eldred, not your CPU, so I think you'd see roughly the same FPS as BRH, and there's always OC'ing, all the V5's I've had my hands on so far has responded very nicely to a bit of tinkering, you can't expect a massive improvement, but another 5-10 FPS in your fav sim is not unrealistic, and if that means the difference between perfectly playable and close to undriveable....

I also run the F1 2002 demo on my V5 with the 4.12.01.0666 drivers (last official beta drivers developed for DirectX 8.x compatibility). These are the best perfoming and most stable drivers IMHO for Windows 9x D3D games. There are some things you must have in place to get the demo running: DirectX v.8.1 (No v.8.0a won't do it; you'll receive page faults & CTDs) Geometry Assist (T&L) must be disabled. I'm very surprised at the FPS I'm getting 22-38 even when running @ 1024x768 FSAA 2x on a CeleronII [email hidden]. This is more than I get with F12000 CS and looks a helluva lot better :)! I'm going to buy the full version this weekend. Donovan

I've never tried overclocking anything. Paranoid, I guess. I tried it with a CPU once, but it kept locking up. So I just run everything standard now... Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett My .sig file is in the shop for repairs... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
