GPL & TNT2

Hi all, I have a voodoo Banshee card (pII-450, 192 mb) and I think it's time to upgrade. Because I like Flanker 2.0 (=flightsim) and this sim only works well with a TNT2 I'm seriously considering the Viper. My only hesitation is GPL. So my question: Will it run on a TNT2? Any experiences? Also, what's MGPRS2 on a TNT2 like? What TNT2 should I get, there are a lot of different versions (16 mb, 32mb, 64bits, 128 bits, TV-out etc.)

Yes, it'll run with GPL. You just have to go to either www.papy.com or www.theuspits.com and download the OpenGL Patch so you can run in a render mode. -- Sincerely, Mark F.

The fastest TNT2 is the ultra version. There is also a slower normal version and there is the slowest m64 version. I would buy the TNT2 ultra or wait for a newer card like the geforce256(the newest nvidia). MGPRS2 is excellent on a TNT2. I can't tell you anything about gpl but I am sure it runs better on a voodoo3. Sjoerd

Did you get MGPRS2 to work in 1024 X 768. The Button in the Graphic menu doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks ! Francois

No they don't. It actually depends on your machine. On a P2-400 with 192 megs of RAM on Windows98SE platform, GPL runs far better on the TNT2 Ultra than it did with two Voodo2s in SLI mode. Also runs better with more solid framerate, mirror issue aside, than the Voodoo3 3000 I had briefly. Now that is just my experience with both a Diamond Viper 770 Ultra and Hercules Dynamite TNT2 Ultra [both TNT2 Ultra's running NVidia 2.08 reference drivers], two Diamond Monster2 12meg Voodoo2s and a 3dfx Voodoo3 [running latest reference drives at the time] on my P2-400. I also found that for me N3 ran just as well in either Glide or D3D mode.

MGPRS2 is excellent on a TNT2. I can't tell you anything You are correct. In fact, GPL, N3, and NL all run better on a voodoo 2 than they do on the TNT2 Ultra. The only racing sim that I've found that runs better on the TNT2 is MGPRS2, as you say. So if GPL runs better using a voodoo 2 than it does with the TNT2 Ultra, then imagine the comparison with a voodoo 3. Alanb
