I have a P2 450 with a PCI Herc.Thriller 8MB runnin GPL. Would I do better
replacing this card with an AGP CL Riva TNT with the new patch from Papy
OpenGL. Frame rate be abt. the same worse. 36 FPS with all on now.

Chip;
I was thinking the same exact thing! Please do we have anyone in the r.a.s.
'ng' that knows about this? I have a Herc & my fps is usually always 36fps
too. I've read the main difference is you can raise your resolution to 1024x
and still keep 36fps.
Also is the Riva TNT as good in other sims/games? Also will it work well
within Windows 98? Any And All Help will be appreciated!!
My system specs;
Pent II Intel 450mhz, AB-BH6 Pent II m-board, PC100 sdram 128mb
8ns, Sb-PCI64 sound, Herc-Thriller/AGP 8mg video, Voodooo2 8mg
3dfx card, 19" PS790 ViewSonic Monitor

To my knowledge the OpenGL patch runs slower (a fair bit) than the Rendition
of V0odoo versions (of course it does... it's a patch and not a native thing).
If you have Herc Thriller 3D or Vodoo2 then you can do 1024x768 resolution as
well. You will not get it running any better than either one of these cards...
they are what the game was written for.

fixed and then maybe but why? You didn't mention any problem.

GPL is definitely limited to max. 36 fps by papy. I'd love to have this
maximum like u have!!!
