Your listed hardware is far in excess of what GP 500 requires for smooth gameplay. A pentium 3 933Mhz and a Geforce 3 gave ultra smooth results for us back in the day at 1280x1024.

Thank You

Athlon 6000, 6670, Win7 32Bit.

Without Compatible Mode, Framedrops begin in the First Lap. And Bike Fly away.

With Win98 Compatible Mode, Framedrops begin after 3 Laps. Or at the End on Lap 3. No Bike Fly away.

Have Delete GP500.

No win7 more.

Way too fast bro, for that game. It's an excellent game. Back in our youth my friend and I would take turns doing a track in time trial on the same bike, and trying to set a new fastest lap. We were gods at that game, the lean feature added so much depth to the gameplay, what a simulator! Anyways, we would shave 0.01 seconds off the lap we might have done 2 weeks ago, and be over the moon. Or we would be a massive 0.4 seconds off our best time, after a particularly bad run.

You need to aim for much more period correct hardware to play the game smoothly, and it IS worth playing. There are few games (that I know of) that capture the same love and dedication the team obviously had to develop a proper bike sim as the ones who made GP500.

Get a cheap ass Duron rig, or a low end P4, install Windows 98SE or XP and run it with a Geforce 2 MX400 and you will be golden. Use ASWD for leaning, cursor keys for throttle and turning, X and E for front brake / back brake and see what you can do. There used to be a leaderboard on some very early web fansite. Probably shut down now. But it's a great game. Very underated.
