If Santa just happens to bring me a GeForce4, will GPL still be happy?

I am currently using a GeForce2 GTS and all my sims now run perfectly (but drivers have been a long-standing issue with GPL). I seem to recall reading about problems under GPL with the 4's when they first came out. Anything I should watch out for? XP Pro.

I had heaps of problems getting the kyro to work so my settings were all non-standard, but the 4200 just plain worked. I use OpenGL now since it works faultlessly whereas D3D still had font problems, just like every other card I've owned. Plus it's literally twice as fast, you really can't go wrong with a 'proper' (ie non MX) gf4. Malc.

Can't speak for XP since I'm still churning along with 98SE, but GPL looks absolutely marvy on my Ti 4400. I'm using the 41.09 Nvidia drivers, patched Papy OpenGL driver, running at 12X10 with 4X AA and 8X AF. No problems at all, and from the rear of the grid, I'm locked on 36fps within a few feet of the starting line at any track. If memory serves, 4XS AA gave some menu problems in D3D with older drivers, but that's about it. Enjoy!

Hi Michael, Yes it is different from Papy's; here's the Race Sim Central forum thread on it: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49101 The direct link is: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=467704 Cheers, SB "Michael Wollenschein" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:atk0a0$5os$03$[email hidden]...

If Santa brings you a GeForce 4 you'll be a very happy man indeed. GPL just looks fab at 1600x1200 quincunx FSAA and 4 Anisotropy. As long as you've got decent CPU it'll never go below 36fps at max detail. Currently I'm running the 41.09 drivers on my WinXP Pro system with no problems at all. Some Call Me Tim

Thanks...I run at 1600 x 1200 now, but without FSAA. We'll see..........:) Marc "Some Call Me Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:nR1L9.72$[email hidden]... > > I am currently using a GeForce2 GTS and all my sims now run perfectly(but > > drivers have been a long-standing issue with GPL).
