Can I play F1GP2 of a DX2/66 with 20-25 fps?

Hello Folks, I have a DX2/66 and won't by my a new computer right now. My question is, can I play F1GP2 smooth with my computer if I switch all detailes off. And witch computer I need to get full detail (640x480) with 25 fps. Thanks for Your comment. Mika alias Jochen Lehmann

I just installed GP2 in a DX2/66, 8MB, 2MB vid card and I almost puked. I'm getting a new system real soon! This game is a waste of money with a system this slow. Hopefully a P133, 32MB, 2MB Matrox Millenium will fix things up better. Warren V.

An AMD 5x86-133 will nearly (no sky texture) do that, at least with my Bali32 VLB 1meg card.

<other people's stuff deleted> Hmmm... I have a processor-upgraded 486SX33 (it is now a DX4-100mhz, but with the old, slow motherboard/chipset), and I am OK with GP2. In fact, I tried racing Mid-Ohio in ICR2 yesterday and was shocked to see how much worse ICR2 is for me. GP2 seems *faster* to me than ICR2, both in VGA. Forget SVGA on any sort of 486. That's my two-cents.

I have a dx2/66 with 1meg Cirrus Logic, and with everything of I can stay below 100% processor occupancy _in practice_. Whenever I race, it skyrockets to 200% (certainly at the start) If you want to play seriously, you'll have to upgrade I'm afraid. It's really painfull to see that, at the moment, there's just NO way to play full detail in SVGA with 25fps :-( =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The most civilized civilizations are as close to barba- rism as polished iron is to rust.
