Yo! I have a CL Annihilator Geforce Pro. I wasn't satisfied with the performance in GPL with this card. So I just bougt to Voodoo2's. I started GPL, chose 3Dfx and 1024x768. Restarted he game, as asked to, and all I get is a crippled 3Dfx logo and a black screen. I can here sounds, so something must be happening. I have to ctrl+alt+delete to get out of the non working game. Could somebody please help me? I'm using the original Voodoo drivers that was on the CD. Jon

Download the latest reference drivers from www.3dfx.com, and remember to install the drivers for both cards. Oh, and install the 1.2 patch for GPL if you haven't done it yet :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying
Yo! I killer tip for a killer combo! Wow!!! Mirrors that actually work!!! In 1024x768. With all details on! And I have a feeble PII350! Now I have no excuse for bad laps or crashes in online races ;-) CL Geforce go home! I'd pay just as much for a Voodoo 2 SLI, or even more if I had to. But I didn't! I paid 1/4! 700 norwegian crowns, or about $ 85 US. What a bargain! Recommended higly to all GPL ***ives. I'm experiencing extreme happyness now. Jon
geforce is awesome looking at 1600x1200. get beta2 ogl patch from papy.com, set mirrors = 6 per readme, use .353 plus drivers, and set gl to use buffer flip. You can actually drive quite a bit faster with more detail. I saw a wrecked car last night way ahead of the guy I was chasing. He hit it and I was ready to avoid and pass.
Yo! FPS in GPL took a hit with Voodoo2 SLI compared to Geforce Pro. FPS dropped by 4 - 16. Too bad. I guess I'll have to stick with the Geforce, running GPL in OpenGL mode. Too bad, cause the OpenGL isn't stable. Jon
