My 486 DX2/66 with 32 MB RAM and SPEA V7 Mirage VLB card does 16 fps with most details and textures turned off in VGA. On the one hand, it still looks better than F1GP because of the textured cars and their movement style, but on the other hand it looks very "pixelated" (that may be due to my 17" monitor) in VGA. But if you have driven it once, you will not care about the fact that you'll never get the full graphics. I can tell you that the feeling is so incredibly cool that you'll LOVE it, even with low detail. Though you might just *try* SVGA in full detail to get some "stills" (ha ha) of what it looks like with all details. And then you'll just *need* that new Pentium... Buy it. Don't care about the low detailed graphics on a DX2/66. Buy it. It's still great. Greetings, Tjark Kalow

Hey man! Not a single soul interested in THAT. I want to know how it performs on a DX2-66 ;-) Anyone out there? "Gravity doesn't exist; the Earth sucks!"

I think struggling unless you run in vga and turn off lots of detail. my p100 with 16meg runs vga great but svga only with lots of detail off.. Rob

Do you think a 486dx2 50 can run GP2 adequately in VGA? I'm more interested in driving than in the scenery. I run prox 50% occupancy at 15 fps in World Circuit and prox 110% at 25 fps.

I run it on a DX4-100 with Stealth 64 PCI and it runs good enough in VGA with all details except sky on, at about 14 fps. It runs good enough to be ***ed like hell and play it all night long, 25fps would be nice of course, but hell, it'll come in time!
