If you use 3x 32" full HD monitors I see no problem, but for higher resolutions the CPU could be a bottleneck.

I'm very pleased with my current pc but why can't I get a screen dump fromGPL?  Instead of the GPL screen it saves the desktop instead. |

The problem is OpenGL...
Since windows XP a GPL screen capture does not work anymore.
There are some apps that can handle it.
I use Fraps,
NVidia and AMD have something built in their complete monstrous software suites that can, but I never use it...

Sorry for the late reply, but with my job it's easy to forget about online stuff. If you use 3x 32" full HD monitors I see no problem, but for higher resolutions the CPU could be a bottleneck.
Thanks Axel, but in the end I went with new PC and 50" 4k tv. Now my problem is with resolution. I've set resolution in Gem+ to 4k. it worked for a while but afther I wanted to set up my new wheel, menu got messed up:  |

IMO this has to do with the GPU settings, using the monitor and not the GPU for the resolution, where you set the "keep aspect ratio"

Could I just switch to one of the other rasterizer options or will all hell break loose? |

It won't, the menues will be better, but the fps will be lower...
As OGL is open software MS does boycot it!
GPL can use OpenGL very well and the NV/AMD GPU driver is responsible for it.
You have Direct 3D V2 as alternative, based on DX7 wich is not supported well by MS anymore.
If you want to use it, make shure you have installed "DX9 0610" wich contains all former DX stuff!

Not difficult to try: DL DX9 0610 unpack and run setup.exe Another thing could help the 4GBpatch if you have more than 4GB RAM on your PC copy the exe in gpl folder and run it, patch gpl.exe. Then run GEM and let GEM write new gpl55.exe by starting it from GEM |

Hmmmm...
Sounds ok but GPL always manages to kick me in the teeth when I try messing with it like this.
Think I will try after Dundrod Then I will have two weeks to get it running again.
Many thanks.

I just moved GPL to a new PC with an i7 chip but I went with Windows 8.1 Pro because I much prefer it to Win10.
The graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4670.
Should I stick to OpenGL?
Would GPL happily run at 1920x1080?

Yes Mike use openGL with Catalyst 13.1-> https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-hd/ati-radeon-hd-4000-series/ati-radeon-hd-4670But it is a very low end graphics card and will be a bottleneck... Try to get a second hand graphics card of HD 68xx or HD 78xx generation wich were much better and cost ~25€ here |
