Hi Looking at the screenshot of GP3 weather I would say it would be another framerate hog for machines less than 600mhz. It is nice to have so much more things added to GP2 but most of us are going to find it hard going -- Thanks and regards Leong SINGAPORE Email: [email hidden]

I'm also very affraid it will require a heavy pc with the rain on, but we'll just have to wait and see... Andre

Not at all, i have the latest warez version which is most likely the final version or very close to what will be released in stores and the only good thing i can say about GP3 is that the framerate is really high even with all details set to the max including in the rain. And that's on my measly 2nd machine (a PII 350) But the reason the framerates are so good is because the games graphics are bad, with lousy low res textures and tons of blockiness and pixelization, the whole game has this faded washed out look to it. I never owned GP2 but have always heard all these people going on about how it was the best ever and how GP3 would be the end all be all of F1 games, well now that i've played it i can say for sure it's not, hell, even UbiSoft's F1 Racing '97 has this beat. F12000 is better as well. GP3 is going to go down as one of the most over-hyped letdowns ever, it's just so dated looking compared to other F1 games that have been released in the last few years.
