I didn't test GeForce 2 with F1 2000, but with V5 5500 4x FSAA, it does make
a huge difference in term of graphics. All of the jaggies are gone! I highly
recommend Voodoo 5 over Geforce card

from the benchmarks I have seen, the answer would be yes for both the geforce 1
and 2. But the cost right now is a bit extreme for the fairly small improvement
in frame rate on those games.
What I can't beleive is, that with all the great racing games out right now,
F1 2000 is the one you are playing.

I primarily play EA F1 2000 and Nascar 2000
I am resonable happy with the frame rates, but would always like
better.
Question...........
would a new Gelforce card out perform my TNT2 ,I understand they are
both 32 meg, the former is far more expensive and freinds have told me
it would increase my frame rate.
I dont really want to spend the money, but if the expected improvment
is high I am prepared to.
would appreciate the sim racers point of view.
cheers

And you can get most models of V5 in PCI or AGP. Over here at least,
the GeForce will be AGP only.

Would there be a difference in performance between the PCI and AGP versions?
For my next system, it's really tempting to get a PCI Voodoo for GPL, etc,
to sit beside an AGP GeForce and switch between the two as desired. Or would
it be difficult to get them to coexist in one machine?

however they have the benefit of using drivers specifically written for
this by the Metabyte folks who put out the wickedgl for 3dfx. I "can"
be done, but I'm not sure how easy it is...

I think I have the same board with a
stupid stuck in intel card.
is there any benefit with the Intel??

Dunno. At a guess, the AGP card would be better, but things never go
quite to plan where PCs are concerned.

AFAIK, you can only have one card driver per monitor at any one time.
But you could get round this. Make Windows believe you have two
monitors, one runnning off the AGP and one off the PCI. When you want
to switch, turn off the machine and plug the monitor lead into the
appropriate port. Reboot, and go into the BIOS setup. Somewhere there
should be a setting telling the PC where to look first for its graphics
signal. Change this as appropriate.
This is an almighty kludge, but more or less this strategy works fine
for my PC with an integrated Intel 810 AGP and a V3 2000 PCI (though,
now I've got the screen refresh sorted out, I just stick with the 3dfx
card - 800x600 is easily high-res enough for GPL on a 15" screen).

Yes - because the Intel can do 3D acceleration at 1024x768, which the
Voodoo can't. Also, the Intel is (in theory) an AGP card, which allows
some extra effects.
Having said that, though, 800x600 is enough for me, so I'm really just
keeping the Intel as a backup.
