yo todd, there are still lots of gp2-players around :) gp2 is basically using processor power and doesn't get much support from modern graphic cards. so a p2-300 isn't still good enough ;) well, turn sky and track textures off, that will be the first help. then, in racing, use ALT-D to set the details like you need them. stefan.

Thanx Stefan. I'll give it a whirl.

I race full detail on a Celeron 550 - tnt2 32mb. I get below 100% most of the time exept at monaco and in replays. Can't imagine myself playing it at a p90 with a 1mb video card anymore like I did when it came out. Stefan Roth <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws [email hidden]...
