Can you run F1-2000 with the Voodoo 2 card? A friend of mine would like to know since he has a Intel 740 and it locks up most of the time if he plays various games. He would like to run F1-2000 with his Voodoo2 if that is possibile. Thanks.

*FIFTE-FREEKIN-TEEN* Nope 2000 at 800x600 with awesome graphics against 22 opponants and the mirrors on. F-15 Strike Eagle 3 was locked at 15 fps and the framerate was fine. Also I believe cartoons are locked at 15 fps. 15 isn't bad, lower would be. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com > > Joe McGinn > _____________________ > Radical Entertainment

What does the year have to do with it? So what if machines are more powerful now? You can always write software that keeps track of more details and shows more things. Should all games stop at the level of detail they were at in 1995? Now this is not to say that some programs aren't piggish -err, try Windows for one :)- and/or don't use poor algorithms. The MAC OS, I beleive, has to go through something like 8x more instructions per task switch than with the Amiga OS, for example. Maybe this is horribly programmed then again maybe it is well programmed but simply handling more than you think.

Hmmm, with a speed of 300 Kph and a framerate of 15 fps your screen is updated after every 5.5 meters....A bit too much IMO... Remco

15 frames /s is the minimum for a cars sim. Under, it's not playable any more. 20 / 25 is quite good and and i can be at top to 58 in qualifs. But an average of 30 in races Joe62 <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...

They excuse may be detail. It's actually quite nice to see it run quite ok at this time (~25fps) and see it become better in a year or so with better graphics cards, so you can turn on more detail. But well, probably GP3 or another F1 game may have superseded F12K already. Let's hope so :) Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery
