GP2: slow simulation!

I have GP2 since couple of days, i like when i run it with no opponents. In a race simulation the OC are very slow specially in corners, the frame rate is very slow. I have to put almost all detail off in VGA to get a 25 frs. Someboday have a suggestion to improve performance or this is a bug!! My system 486 dx/4 100mhz 16 meg ram ati mach 32 vlbus Do we need a Pentium 400 !%&?*&/ to run this Game? Andr

HI, i have the system; GP2 need a Pentium 200 to be fast !!! And on Monaco, even a P200 is not enough !!!! Try to use about 19 fps, then you will be able to have almost all details on VGA for a DX4-100 With 19 ffs, it is really payable... Laurent, France

Try a Non-ATI video card.

a 486 just does not cut the cheese with this game. GP2 seems to be one of the first racing games to be a TRUE simulator, by saying that i mean that the game simulates a true f1 racing car (take a look at all of the stats in the game!).. i have heard that there was an interview with a mechanic for one of the f1 teams and he said that if someone had handed him a printout from f1gp2, he would have thought it was real. perhaps geoff should have had an option for arcade/sim mode to make it less cpu intensive, but then i guess that might ruin in overall.. cheers, chris
