AMD K6-2 and GPL

Just wondering if anyone is using this processor with GPL and how the performance is. Thanks. Andrew.

Hi! I have: K6-2/400 Tyan Trinity MB 128 MB SDRAM-100 Elsa Erazor II Noname V2 (for GPL only ;)) I get: 21-23 fps in Monza w/ 19 AI's starting 36 fps after Curva Grande fps-hits only if a big pile-up happens in front of me ;)) I should say, this cpu works fine w/ GPL. Maybe a K6-3 works even better, 'cause it has 2nd-level-cache on-chip. I'll test that after X-mas ;)) Regards Crash Andrew Cowell schrieb:

Hello, I have K6 2 350 with ONLY 64 Mb ram.... BUT... I have changed my video card from a i740 to a guillemot cougar video edition....it rocks 800*600, full details everywhere, 36 fps alone all the time (not the case before) In the race, at the start down to 21-22 and then about 31-32 depending on the number of cars close to me. I kept my 3dfx2 12Mo Conclusion : video card is SO much more important than CPU here (not the case for GP2 for instance) and, at all costs, KEEP your old 3dfx or buy one used for a ridiculous price, even with my video with 32 Mo ram and a f....g fast chip the 3dfx is compulsory for GPL....and i don't trust direct x enough to go to direct x video drivers....like it the HARD way

Andrew, I was using a AMD K6-2/350 with a Voodoo2 and with most graphics and a resolution of 640x480 I was able to get 36 fps except at the starts with a full field. Now I run a K6-2/450 and a Voodoo3 3000 AGP. I run both on and off line at 1024/768 with all graphics on except track and cars only in the mirrors,and get a rock solid 36 fps except at the starts.

Get similar framerates with K6-2/400 on a 66MHz-Board (Gigabyte 586TX3) with 64MB SDRAM66, Elsa Erazor 1 (4MB) and Creative Voodoo2. It's always enough for string with 20 cars. Buy the game, buy a Voodoo-card. Have fun. -- Uli Winkelmann un sing K?lsche Sick op www.netcologne.de/~nc-winkelul

I have the ATI Rage IIc video card , uses direct 3d and the GPL wont even run on my system.

Thankyou everyone for all the feedback - I was asking on behalf of a friend who only now finds himself in a position to buy a decent computer ( and is very keen on Gpl ) and can buy this machine thru a special deal with the Union here in OZ. Thanks again, Andrew. >Just wondering if anyone is using this processor with GPL and how the >performance is. Thanks. >Andrew.

Hi Joel, I've currently got a K6-2 300 running at 112*3, and a voodoo 2. I'm seriously considering getting a K6-2 450 as they are so cheap now. Would you say this would be a good move (I'll keep the Voodoo 2)? How much do you think your voodoo 3 helps your system over the V2? Or would a K6-3 400 be a better bet, even though its 50+% more expensive? Thanks, Neil

I had the Quantum Labs Voodoo Banshee with an AMD K6^2 300, and 128 Mb ram...I've since upgraded...but GPL ran fine for me. Kept it at 640x480, only using a 14 inch monitor at the time anyway.... I've since upgraded, and don't take the time to play GPL anymore.... Doug Doug

It' a pity, but on my experiences you can forget running GPL without 3Dfx. In my PC works a K6-2/400 with a voodoo2. It' ok. -- Uli Winkelmann un sing K?lsche Sick op www.netcologne.de/~nc-winkelul

In my PC works a K6-2/400 with a voodoo2. It' ok. I think my K6-2 400 works okay with a Rendition card, AFAIR a Verite V2200 chip.
