GPL on a non3Dfx card?

I have just upgraded to an AMD 1800, etc, etc. Do I need to keep my VooDoo 3500 card to run GPL or is there a way now to use a GeForce card effectively. I also just chucked dial-up ISP and am on a broadband modem, so I'm looking to online racing. What might be my best bet in Video Cards? GPL is what I run, period. Thanks to all for your help and for making an interesting group, Bob Omo "Give me ambiguity or give me something else!"

with the available patches from www.papy.com in the downloads section, you can run GPL with virtually any modern 3D video card using OpenGL or D3D. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Bob Omo <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I have just upgraded to an AMD 1800, etc, etc. Do I need to keep my > VooDoo 3500 card to run GPL or is there a way now to use a GeForce > card effectively.

I run a Gforce2 Ultra and using d3d7 patch I run 1600 x 1200 with 2x aniso on a 21" monitor full detail, full field and have no problem maintaining 36 fps except for starting grid or glitchy addon tracks. The fonts are small but its no big deal to me. While I don't use antialiasing who needs it at 1600 x 1200 it will mess up some screens and cause the game to behave very erratic. I also have a Voodoo 5500 but have not used it with GPL.

You can get a fix for the fonts here http://www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/index.html altho it can make the chat fonts a bit to large . dan "Conga" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NxSk9.102088$[email hidden]... > I run a Gforce2 Ultra and using d3d7 patch I run 1600 x 1200 with 2x aniso > on a 21" monitor full detail, full field and have no problem maintaining36

It also messes up the menu fonts, particularly the garage settings. "Dan_Leach" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:an16j5$9ug80$[email hidden]...

I don't know where I found it...but there was another util like that, that enlarged the chat font WITHOUT impacting the setup/garage/menu fonts. I would assume searching Racesmim central 'might' be a good place to start. Good luck. dave henrie
