Benchmark your PC with "GP2 log:on". Intelligent test !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 posts by 3 people · 23 Jul 1996 - 24 Jul 1996

I have my gp2 since 4 days. It is very subjective to give each its appreciation on performances of gp2 according to its pc. So do like me , type "gp2 log:on" and look at the file called gp2log.txt. With my asus t2p4 Pentium166 512 ko 8ns 32 Mo edo and millenuim, i get Processor (x86): 5 Dos Version: 00001606h Running under dos Speed (c.f. DX2-66): 323 Video speed: 496 to my opinion, gp2 needs a Pentuim Pro 200 or the future pentuim MMX (and a optmized new version)to to bet fluid in SVGA (try to make some smoke with your tires and you'll see what I mean). GP2 is made for the PCs we'll find find in the store in one year and i don't blame Microprose for that (i'm talking about Gp2 in SVGA). Give your log:on results to compare performance beetween Pentuim; PeniumPro and Cyrix M1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last point, GP2 is hard. With gp1 i could start Japan GP in 26th position and win 15 laps later in ACE mode (same thing with Monaco!!), but now i'm not enough good to be semi pro. :-(

Yes, I had the same reaction to mine, same video card, except mine read 86 (roughly), however, a mate across the road has a 2mb DS VRAM and his comes out 260 or so, but our graphics performance is about the same, even though the ATI is a much faster card, also he has only 8mb whereas I have 24mb, is there anything I can do to speed the system up?

Just checked the video speed of my P133 with 16Mb and ATI Mach 64 video card with 1Mb and got the following - devastating - info in my gp2log.txt: Processor (x86): 5 Speed (c.f. DX2-66): 258 Video speed: 70 !!!!!!!!! Compared to other values I've seen on this list, this is awfully low. I've tried all sorts of drivers like M64VBE, UNIVBE51, S3SPDUP but they make no difference. Has anyone any suggestions on how to speed up GP2 with this card, are should I just get a decent video card? Thanks, Hans.
