Re: GP3 and Voodoo 2SLI

Tim, My other computer is the same, it has a Voodoo Banshee and a Pentium 233, it runs at 500% in 3D Accelerated mode and 250% with Software Rendering. Weird !!. Only get about 8 fps also.

GP3 runs great on my PIII 600 Geforce DDR system but on my second computer a K6-2@412 with Voodoo2 SLI in is painfully slow. I've tied changing slivoodoo2=0 to 1in cards.txt and put altmirrors=0 to1 (mirrors don't work without it) but it's still painfully slow (slower than in software for Christ's sake!). Is there a fix? It on runs as fast as the slowest machine in network play and I sooo need to play in networked. Any help would be much appreciated Some Call Me Tim GP3 may be disappointing but it's still a blast

Have you tried the 'reduced texture size' option on the Advanced graphics config screen (it's on the left at the bottom)?

When you find a fix.. PLEASE let us all know :-( I have the same problem and I"m running in Software mode atm.. looks like GP2... still drives good.. but I'd like to take advantage of V2 SLI James Some Call Me Tim <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:_3Dg5.1938$[email hidden]... > GP3 runs great on my PIII 600 Geforce DDR system but on my second computera > K6-2@412 with Voodoo2 SLI in is painfully slow.

I've finally managed to get GP3 working woth my K6-2 and voodoo2's. I've got the newest reg patch and put the original voodoo drivers on (the ones that come on the disk) I've set alt mirrors to 1 slivoodoo2 to 1 and detailtexture to 0. It now runs at about 110% at 16fps. this is a big improvement on 400-500% but is still slower than in software (hello, I thought I had a 3d accelerator card not a decelerator card!) Anyway it's better than nothging and I can now play over the lan although it still pisses me off at how piss poor the perforance is even compared to dare I say it F1 2000. Some Call Me Tim
