GPL and RIVA 128 (AGP) ???

4 posts by 4 people · 13 Mar 1999 - 14 Mar 1999

I have an STB Velocity 128 AGP (4 Mb RAM). How will Grand Prix Legends run on my system?? (FPS??). The computer is a Dell PII 266 with 64 Mb of RAM, plenty of Disk Space. Thanks for any input. Dominic

Dominic, I have a pll 233,64m sdram, and had a stb128 w/4mg and got low fps10-12 with very few graphics enabled, so I installed a Thriller w/8 mgmand now get full 36 fps with most graphics enabled, good enough to race online with good results. another option would have been to add a voodoo ll card to your 128(the Thriller replaces 128), but I wanted to try Rendition card for driving sims. Hope this helps! Ed Ed White DJ and Rusty in '99 GO#2 & #88

Before I got my TNT, I had a Diamond V330 4MB and with the OpenGL patch and mirrors every 8 frames and at 640x480 res, I could get about 30 fps in the open with the detail bias midway. P2 300, 192 MB RAM. If I remember correctly, I had to use the nVidia reference drivers for it to work. It also ran in 800x600 with a considerable frame-rate hit. jb

I have essentially the same system, and you'll not get any satisfactory results without a Graphics Accelerator. After careful research and TONS of help from this ng, I'm tonight installing a Diamond Monster 3d II (Voodoo2 12 meg) in my system. Suggest you explore something similar for decent graphics and frame rate. GPL is a bleak, unwinnable simulator without one. Trey Behan
