Unfortunately graphic power is only the icing on the cake here, as this is a horsepower question. F1 2k needs a fast processor to get some use out of it. GP3 is less processor demanding when the weather in the game is good, but, without the patch (I have seen 3D performance boosts due to the patch reported here), the Voodoo3 doesn't help much. Which one should you buy... tough question, which I'm sure you can get a number of conflicting responses for. Personally, I tend to favour a patched F1 2k, but that's just my opinion not having tried the patched GP3. I think your best bet is to sit on the fence just that little bit longer and look for people discussing the changes in handling, if any, the GP3 patch makes and how it now compares to other sims. Either that or get GPL and WinVROC... no amount of patching will bring either game up to those standards. IMO, of course. Jan. =--- Humberto C.

Egads! I feel like Eldred -- my name has been invoked in a thread (but not the subject, it seems. Gonna have to work on that!). <G> "The" answer is to download the GP3 demo and see how it works on your system. This is especially important given the fact that GP3 has a history of problems with the Voodoo-based cards. The fact that GP3 is still selling for over $44 at Electronics Boutique, plus the fact that EB is now selling F12K for $19, from an economical standpoint, I'd say that "my" answer would be to buy F12K now and wait for the price to come down some more on GP3. Both are great games, and they have their pros and cons, but I'd say that both are worth owning if you're a sim nut and an F1 fan. If the purchase decision comes down to an either/or situation due to money, then the lower cost of F12K could serve as a determining factor, it would seem. -- JB In article <L%MJ5.2491$[email hidden]>, "Regular Racer" <[email hidden]> wrote: > I"m quite sure that JBODIN will give you "the" answer...... > > "Humberto C.

I say buy neither, both GP3 and F1 2000 have several problems. I would wait until next month and then get F1 2000 CS, the new improved version of F1 2000. From what I've read it will have several bug fixes and better AIs, it looks to be much better. Take care. - Loren

www.simracingnews.com just posted a nice comparison of the two. Stephen Humberto C. Soares <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:6QMJ5.61373$N%[email hidden]... > I looking to buy either GP3 or F1 2000. What sim do u think should I buyand

Both GP3 and F1 2000 are very good F1 sims, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Or just wait a couple of weeks (months?) for the next version of F1 2000 (forgot the name) and see how that turns out to be. Andre

What would that be? The problems with "historic" V2 (8MB) cards?
