Gran Turismo 2 Performance - Race Replay



Grindelwald race replay benchmark


Of course, we had to include GT2, as it is one of the most awesome games of all time. This benchmark is a replay of a race ran at Grindelwald (the second race of the Clubman Cup). Again, here we see FRAPS reporting the game drawing screens at somewhere around half the internal PSX framerate.


When it comes to graphics card impact, the ATI cards just out-perform the NVIDIA cards here. The problem comes in when racing in a pack of cars: the NVIDIA cards get bogged down when trying to render all the cars up close and personal. Out in front (or way behind), framerates are solid. But no matter which way you slice it, the ATI cards just play GT2 better.


The P4 EE and Athlon 64 3400+ are on equal footing here, while the other three processors share the second place trophy once again. All these processors make easy work of whatever game we throw at them.

    ePSXe is pretty much the standard if you are trying to play original Playstation games. Any modern system can run them pretty much full speed but I think this is just yet another piece of a neverending puzzle in comparing different graphics cards. Some people will find data like this important.

    I found ePSXe a while back and replayed Chrono Cross, one of the best RPGs out there imho. ePSXe runs pretty well on my laptop with the Intel 855 onboard graphics and it would be nice to know how the emulator runs on integrated graphics chipsets/laptops (mini-itx boards, onboard Via, Intel, Sis, Ati, nVidia chipsets) in addition to normal cards like the ones tested here.

    ePSXe for Android is a very modest version of the classic PlayStation One emulator for PC that works perfectly on Android devices. Can I use <a href="https://apkwebs.com/download-epsxe/">ePSXe Apk</a> on my One-plus android phone?
