is it possible to play gpl without 3fx

i have not a computer with an 3fx but i have : 233pentium 2 with a ati 3dkaart

Forget it. You need an upgrade (an additional 3D card). My P2 266 AGP was getting as low as 5fps. To enjoy the game you need the detail which you would have to turn off. I spent the $$ and bought a Monster 3D II. Everything turned on - single player, 30+ fps. With 11 AI cars, drops to 20 fps but still smooth. Is it worth it? Ask me again in a couple of months, but as for now, it's incredible. Tony >i have not a computer with an 3fx >but i have : 233pentium 2 with a ati 3dkaart

Moin mister !!! mx> i have not a computer with an 3fx Well, buy one ! The voodoo I is so cheap by now that almost everyone can afford it... mx> but i have : 233pentium 2 with a ati 3dkaart You wont have much fun with GPL with this configuration, as well as all other newer 3D-games.

Not everybody has english as their first language, the guy is from Holland, so cut him some slack!! By the way shouldn't your answer have read: Concentrate on your typing a little too<G> ><i have not a computer with an 3fx >but i have : 233pentium 2 with a ati 3dkaart> >Concentrate on you typing a little too<G>

I played the GPL demo on a P166, 32 meg and no 3dfx card for about 4 mths. ugly, ugly, ugly - but driveable. Now with an 8meg v2 card its very driveable (32fps with 5 AIs).

or.. Buy a rendition card. I hear you can get the diamond stealth 2 s220 for $10-20 after rebate in the US. I get 36 fps all details turned to the top at 640 x 480 in offline practice, and mid ***s at the start of a race. I have a p225 mmx (clokt 200) with 64 mb ram. (i turned off 3d fx on my awe 64 and it made a small increase in fps) Only prob with either the voodoo1 (3dfx) or the Rendition is, they won't be around much longer and neither one benefits much from going any faster than about 266mhz. Tom's Hardware actually benchmarks the stealth card faster than a voodoo1 card in D3D app's, but in the real world, not alotta D3D games out there. SKurj (oh and I paid over $70 US for mine )
