GPL & Voodoo2

Hello All, I bought GPL as soon as it came out & I love it, especially with my logitec FF wheel. I just have one problem, my voodoo2 card doesn't seem to work with GPL. It works with all the other games I have, not that I want to play them ..... The card is made by a company called Viewtop or Britek. They don't have web sites anymore & when they did, the drivers didn't help with my problem. Can anyone tell me about my problem? I'd love to improve my times but at 12 frames per second.... Please help, you can understand my frustration. Thanks, Kuross

What does Vsync do exactly? (if you don't mind the trouble of response) I can't try it again till Friday, but how may I do this? Thanks a heap! Kuross in Aussie. Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

What vsync does is it matches the change of frame with the drawing of the picture on your monitor. Your monitor, say, supports 100Hz image refreshing. This means that the new frame can be put up at every redraw giving 100fps, at every second redraw giving 50fps, at every third redraw giving 33.3 fps and so on. If you disable vsync, your game can also reach intermediate fps between these values, and free the rendering buffer slightly sooner meaning that a slight increase in performance can be had. -Gregor "Amri, Kuross [WOLL:4009-I:EXCH]" wrote:

On my pc Vsync off adds considerable fps. With it, constant 36fps, without it, varying rapidly between 20-30 (or something like that). Andre
