GP2 frame rates

Hello, I read one time on how to set the graphics on GP2 for maximum performance but do not remember how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. P166, 24meg, Intense3D w/4meg Thanks, -Jody-

The theory was that you set the frame rate to about 2 fps less than the "projected" frame rate. However, GP2 bases this on the VGA performance of the card and the Intense (and other Rendition cards) "suck" in straight VGA performance. I would suggest setting the frame rate to a point where you get about 82% CPU occupancy on the starting grid. This should give a fair balance for the way GP2 speeds up and slows down based on CPU occupancy. -- **************************** Michael E.

What a provocative question. Were you trying to start a fight? :) The technique I used was to set the game at two FPS less than the graphic options menu recommends. That allowed me to run every course but Monaco at about 20 FPM on my P6/200. The PO would rarely go above 100%, but it would spike above that some times, but not bad enough for me to notice any problem. I ran Monaco at about 18 FPS. This was visibly "notchier", but I could still enjoy myself. I ran with full detail, except for no sky or mirror details. The cars in the mirrors would seem to float in a blue field, but that didn't bother me. Anyway, I finally have a new motherboard with a new, and upgradible, BIOS. I'm hoping this will allow me to run my Pure 3D, and I'll be moving on to Ubi's simulator. Larry
