GPL & GeForce 2MX Problem

Is there a way to force the 3D Accelerator to work in GPL with a GeForce 2MX card. I went from a VooDoo 3 3000 to a GeForce 2 MX and the results in GPL is horrible. Thanks RS

Are you running in d3d? Do you have the d3d patch? GPL on my MX card looks fantastic. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 "RS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JDLa6.3724$[email hidden]... > Is there a way to force the 3D Accelerator to work in GPL with a GeForce 2MX > card.

Don My GeForce card supports D3D and Open GL, but I don't have an option in GPL for D3D, only 3DFX and Rendition. If you are talking about a D3D patch made for GPL I guess I don't have it. Could you tell me where to get it. thanks RS "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:05Ma6.181145$[email hidden]...

Also, what speed CPU are you using? I had a Celeron 466 o/c to 525 with a V3 3000. I switched over to a 32MB GeForce2 GTS and performance was worse. Then a few days later, my P3 850 (now o/c to 961) CPU arrived from an eBay auction. Runs like a raped gorilla now. These GF2's seem to need some hp to really use them to their potential.

Get the GPL d3d patch from www.papy.com Go to products, gpl, and you will find it there. GPL will take on a whole new light for ya :) -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 "RS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:BIMa6.3095$[email hidden]... > Don > My GeForce card supports D3D and Open GL, but I don't have an option in GPL > for D3D, only 3DFX and Rendition.

I am using a Celeron 566 overclocked to 850 mhz, and it runs beautifully on it with my GF2 MX. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 "Uncle Fester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Also, what speed CPU are you using?

Yep, get the D3D renderer patch from http://www.papy.com/gpl/gpl.download.index.html , install it, read the D3DReadme.txt and put the recommended setting in your core.ini. Finally select the d3d renderer in GPL. "RS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JDLa6.3724$[email hidden]... > Is there a way to force the 3D Accelerator to work in GPL with a GeForce2MX > card.

"Runs like a raped gorilla"? Really? Amish racing sims, raped gorillas, what is happening to this ng? Back on topic, I have a GeForce 2 MX and a Celeron running at 450 MHz and it's fine now although I did have some problems with the screen frequently freezing momentarily. I think that turning off FSAA was the cure for that but I haven't turned it back on to check. -- Tony Whitley GPLRank +10.65

What frame rates are you getting with GPL? I have a Cel450 running with a Voodoo1 (yes one!) and I'm getting like 30fps. Good enough at 640x480. Thinking about getting a new video card, maybe an MX or V5 eventhough 3dfx is out of business.

I generally get 36 fps using 1152 x 864, detail slider halfway, cars only in the mirror and all trackside details. I used to get similar results with my Voodoo2 (800 x 600). It drops lower at the starts of course (20+ momentarily), and I have a bit of a problem with the Bugatti (add-on) circuit. I bought the GeForce when neither GP3 or Links2001 (!) would have anything to do with it. -- Tony Whitley GPLRank +10.65

With the old CPU, I could only run the detail slider a little above halfway, cars only in mirrors, and 800x600 in GPL. In the pits at Monza, I'd be about 32-34fps. Now with the same GF2 GTS & the P3 850 CPU, detail slider is full bore, 1024x768, full mirror detail etc. Solid 36fps. Starting line it temporarily dips to 32, but is back to 36 before turn 1. I agree with the GP3 statement, though! I went through it's calibration routine and once it was done I went to the graphics screen to see what the sim had decided upon. 512x384 with a calculated frame rate of 12. WTF!?! I thought it may have been due to the 4xFSAA setting, but maybe not... -- Chuck Kandler A man is no less a Slave just because he is allowed to choose a new Master every four years.
