GP2 on a Pentium II 300 MHz

When I install GP2 on my P2 300 MHz, the games runs soo slow. Very bad frame rates, even on VGA. I have 128 MB SDRAM. What problem do I have? Is this CPU too fast for GP2? ------------------- Tomek98

GP2 is a real hardware hog. You have the CPU and RAM covered (my exact system, by the way) so the only thing really left is the vid board. I have run it reasonably well on 4meg PCI cards, but what it really likes is 8meg AGP cards. Prices have fallen quite a bit lately, see if you can't find a good fast 2D board for the beast.

HAHAHA!!!!......damn funny....too fast....what do you think you have ...3 terraflops? You do have a Voodoo 1 or 2, right? And youre sure that its not the beta??? It might has some bugs.

It's not GPL ,it's GP2 and i have the same system and works great with GP2

Hi Thomas, I play GP2 in VGA mode with ALL details on with a P2/333 64MB and a Matrox Millennium video card. Works great even in Monaco usually around 60-70% CPU but goes up to 90 in really cool crashes :) It works well in Win95 and Dos Mode (Reboot to Dos Mode), but try yours in Dos Mode first.. Might help you sort things out. Jason > When I install GP2 on my P2 300 MHz, the games runs soo slow. Very bad > frame rates, even on VGA. I have 128 MB SDRAM.

Do a search for fastvid. It may help speed up your video for older VGA/SVGA games. -- **************************** Michael E.

It could be a problem with the keyboard, you may need to install a tsr of some kind something like keyb.com or keyboard.sys... sorry can't remember the specifics.

Videocard has almost no influence on the performance of GP2... It should play very nice on a PII 300 (25fps SVGA without sky and some mirror textures?) Sorry that I can't help you though...

And no smoke.... No PC on this planet can handle the GP2 smoke. regard, David Mocnay
