Impromptu Poll... GP3 or GP4?

I've been playing GP3 since it came out (and even World Circuit all the way back to the early 90's), but just recently got GP4 and have found it (like most people) to be fraught with problems and lagging in performance. I still have GP3 installed alongside GP4 and contemplate just going back to playing it instead. This got me curious...

How many of you...

1 - Have both GP3 and GP4 and mainly play GP3?
2 - Have both GP3 and GP4 and mainly play GP4?
3 - Have both GP3 and GP4 and play them both equally?

*I guess we could have options for "4 - Only have GP4" and "5 - Only have GP3", but I would assume the GP3 people might not wander into the GP4 forum to see this topic to give their answers.

On a side note... I bought a GeF 6800GT when DoomIII came out, just before getting a copy of GP4. It's sick... but what a disappointment that GP4 doesn't even come close to utilizing its full potential. Crammond needs to get Carmack to teach him how to code a decent 3D engine. Just my $.02.

Lol... translation from Drunkish to English:

Try updating to the 1.02 patch, and that might work for you.

I have GP3, GP32k and GP4. After getting each, I never really turned back to play the older versions! I did try GP32k about 5 months ago, and it just didn't compare to GP4!

So my answer is 2... changing the word "mainly" to "always".

GP3.5 (aka GP3-2k) all the way!
Gp4 is more satisfying though...

Have all three, always play GP4 now. GP3 is good for the alternative tracks, but GP4 rules the roost once you get bored of that.

same as Xero, played GP3, then GP3-2K, then moved up to GP4 just over a year ago, and never been back since.

still have GP3-2K installed, but might delete it.

played gp3 after gp4. sux alot. If you only use it for pdated tracks, spend a few bucks and get f1 2002 of f1c. maybe not the greatest games tho.

As I told in the other topic, I got them all (and GP2 too) and only got back once for each version to see improvements after getting habit of new version.
Obviously, latest version was always the best and I stopped plying old one as a new one was available.
No exception for GP4 and even if I heavily played GP3 then GP3-2000, I won't go back to this game ever now.

So answer is 2 too replacing "mainly" by "always" too :)

I have played Gp2 GP3 Gp3-2000 and GP4

Gp4 is very buggy even more buggy if you want to update to the latest specs

BUT with HI res texturing GP4 wins hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, i even play gp2 sometimes, and I play GP3 as often as i play GP4, just because i play GP4 for the graphics and the realistic looks, but it;s indeed sooooo buggy. GP3 is just better: better physics, tracks to update, easy to moderate etc. etc. But i think i cannot choose between them.

So option 3 for me :)
