GPL: Voodoo2 and P450 FrameRate?

I am getting a new P2-450 with a Voodoo2 and was wondering what kind of frame rate I am likely to get. All cars? All detail? A lot of the benchmarks I have seen involve SLI V2's but if I were to spend the $$ I would probably buy a Thriller 2 instead of a second Voodoo2. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks, J.

I have Celeron 300a(at 450 MHz) and Voodoo2 8MB. At the starting grid i get around 15fps with everything at maximum. During a race usually 36 fps, but it sometimes drop to around 20-25 fps in certain curves with a few AI cars around. -Jan Otto

I'm getting the same type of results with a P2 400 196Mb ram and 12 mb voodoo2.

: I have Celeron 300a(at 450 MHz) and Voodoo2 8MB. At the starting grid i get : around 15fps with everything at maximum. During a race usually 36 fps, but : it sometimes drop to around 20-25 fps in certain curves with a few AI cars : around. : -Jan Otto How do you think the 12mb Voodoo2 will work? Also, do you think that the P2-450 will outperform the Celeron? I don't know much about Celeron chips. Thanks for your reply! J.

I have a PII-300 with a Creative Labs Voodoo 2 12 MB card. 128 MB PC100 RAM, yada yada yada. Driving alone or in the middle of a race with a few cars around and all graphics on I get a frame rate in the mid 30s. At the start of a race, with 19 cars and all graphics, I get a frame rate in the mid 20s.

Jeff, go with the Hercules Thriller AGP 8meg Rendition card. If you can wait, the Redline v3xxx will be out someday(month or two). I run a Herc 2d/3d Rend AGP card and MegaMonster setup(2 sli 3dfx cards) The Rendition card works great with framerates maxed at 36 with everything on. I mean everything too. Sound, graphics and 19 cars.... Get ready to be amazed.....Matt

Jeff, I installed GPL last night and was getting between 26 and 32 fps on a P2-450/128Meg ram with a single Monster Voodoo 2 w/ 12 meg. All cars, all detail 1024x768, sounds set to 12. Only problem is that it locks up within 3 to 5 minutes. Dan

I have a friend with PII 400, 128Mb RAM and Vodoo2. He runs GPL at 1024x786 with all detail on and all 19 cars. He gets 30+ framerate at all times. By the way he's got the 100mhz bus speed.... from what I hear that "will" make a huge difference with the Vodoo2.
