I have just installed GPL and to say the least I am most dissapointed with the performance using the Diamond Viper, only 11 fps, has anyone else had any better luck? Or maybe there is a patch in existence, please let there be a patch ..... Peter C
I think there's a couple of hardware patches called Rendition and 3dfx ;-)

Peter your card is very good for D3D stuff. But...GPL runs 3d through only two types of video cards. Rendition cards, and 3dfx cards. Your Viper is neither, it is based on the Riva chipset by Nvidia. I don't know if you will be able to get any performance out of your card, unless you add a 3dfx card(prefereably based on the Voodoo2 chipset.) dave henrie
