my tnt2m64 on my p3 533 runs gp3 almost the same speed as on my athlon 950
with geforce ddr hardly any difference between the two if u ask me
I have not much experience with videocard. I have to say my videocard TNT2
M64 works pretty good for F1 2000.
But i am wondering. How much influence has the videocard on the FPS on a
game like GP3 and how much does depend on the rest of your system. My system
is a P3 500mhz, 128mb.
This questions, i ask, because i am a bit scared that GP3 will not run
smooth on my system, but i dont know if its my videocard.
If it is my card, can i change options in my videocard software to make it
run smoother? Can i upgrade my card, or do i have to buy a totally new one?
So what are my options. I appreciate if someone can give me some good advice
for this.
Mr Sim

Hmmm, thanks for the answer. When i installed GP3 (coudnt resist it), it was
not initialising my TNT2 M64 card. So when i got in game, it was standing on
Softwaremode. After that i pushed 'recalibrate'. So then i saw the lights,
then i saw a car moving, again i saw lights, again i saw car moving, then i
saw colored stripes, after that i saw a car moving with a square
steeringwheel with stripes.
Do you know what the problem is here. Do i do something wrong ??
The readme outlines entries u may need for your card in cards.txt
get dx7a, it solves a few bugs in Dx7
get newer drivers, those u have are old

There is. Get DX 7a. There aren't many changes, but the ones
there are, are quite significant...
>2. Latest drivers i got are Detonator 514.
Pfui. The Detonator 5.xx series are designed for GeForce cards.
You might well get better results from the 3.68 drivers. I
certainly do, with my (Guillemot) TNT2 M64.

<grin> Are they ever?
