Can I run GTR2002 on my system?

Hello, I have this machine: Athlon 1400 256 DDR-RAM 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP Windows Me Now I want to know if GTR2002 works on this machine and what performance I can expect when driving with my Force-Feedback-wheel, which usually decreases performance a little bit. Thanks for comments Stephan

Thanks for the comment. Do you use Force-Feedback, too? Hm, I�m not gonna buy a new graphicscard, that�s for sure. Your Geforce2 and my Voodoo5 were close rivals some time ago. The question is if GTR2002 uses the T&L-part of the Geforce. The V5 hasn�t T&L and then it could make a difference. Greetings Stephan

I wouldn't expect great performance but it should be decent. I usually run 40-60 fps when traffic thins out with a full field and graphics high on an AMD 1600/512MB RAM/GF4 Ti 4400 (oc to 4600) at 1280x1024x32-bit. If you run the game at no higher than 1024x768x16-bit, keep the settings low/med, turn off some effects (like shadows) and manage the field properly by having only enough cars to keep fps over 30 during the race you should be fine. I fairly cheap upgrade to an ATI 9500 or GF4 Ti 4200 would be nice for you. BTW, FF impact varies greatly. I see no negative fps hit with either my MOMO or LWFF. This is not true for other brands, notably the MSFF wheel which has always been a relative cpu hog. -- Joe M.

There is a demo of F1 2k2, that should give you at least an idea of how your system will run. Figure GTR will run somewhat slower because of added track graphics and IF you run the full field, 37 vs 22 cars. You can choose to run only partial groups, and that will speed things up some. The V5 was a great card, but it is really starting to fall behind. If you use FSAA, then plan on no more than 800x600. dave henrie

I pretty much had to drop the resolution down to 800x600 (plus reduce some graphics settings from high to medium) on my machine after my Radeon 8500LE broke and I had to go back to using the GF2MX400 (which btw is quite close to V5 in D3D performance)... :/ Anyway, I'm mostly getting ~20fps at the start, and 30-40fps after that, except at Sugo where I get between 20-30 when driving alone, and something quite unplayable when more cars on the screen. Rest of the machine specs: Celeron 1000 @ 1460MHz / 512MB / WinXP -- - JKo -

My 2nd machine runs a GF2 MX400 64mb with an XP2100+ and 512 DDR and everything is on high,one or two things go red if i move them to full but the fps is very good throughout. AD

I have a 19" monitor which is permanently set to 1280 x 1024 so i always look to run games in the same res....only changes i might make is to drop 32 bit to 16 bit if i encounter any stutters etc etc Not that i do...but things i wouldnt notice much driving at high speed like the AI cars being in medium detail instead of high would go first....

Not surprising you significantly outperform with the same video card. -- Joe M.

Thanks for all your comments. If I find a good offer on F12002 I will give it a try. Have a nice weekend Stephan

Are we sure that the V5 works with F1-2002 at all? I know my V3 did not, nor did it work with F1-2001 (now have a ti-4200).

I just got F12002 2 days ago at wal-mart for $10. Its just a jewel case not a box version but they had plenty of them. Don "Stephan Paskert" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b1f1lk$428$03$[email hidden]...
