GPL: 800X600 observation...

2 posts by 2 people · 05 Oct 1998 - 05 Oct 1998

I have a measley P200 with a first generation 3Dfx and I am enjoying the demo (no release in Canada yet). Just for fun I tried to push the display to 800X600 - no other games will run at this resolution because there is only 4 megs of RAM on the card. Well, not only did it run, but I thought it looked fantastic. A lot of people have complained because most games are too dark in the higher resolution, but I found it actually improved the look of GPL substantially. Gave the sim a much grittier and realistic look by dulling the colours. Of course, I'm quite certain I won't be able to run this resolution with any opponents... Simon

I'm with ya on that one. It runs great... good for a weekday drive, I tried to race with it and all 19 cars and I was lucky to reach 10 fps the entire game... it would drop to about 2 fps when all the cars were around me on the starting grid. I think I've finally found a game worthy of needing a new computer.
