gpl slow frame rate

Hi, I've got a nvidia gforce mmx 200 64Mb, but i only get a frame rate of 27/28 at a resolution of 800 even if i turn nearly all the details off, but if i choose the NONE option for 3D option when i run the game with more detail i get 35-36 FPS, any ideas what might be the problem. The card appears to work and i've tested it using 3Dmark2001SE the score was 1334. System is a DURON800, with 128 MB. thanks, mark.....

Did you get the official patch and the D3D patch? "markp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

<snip> Have you got the Detail Bias slider all the way over to the right? Turn it down to about halfway; it makes a big difference. Also, some of the third-party tracks (eg Le Mans, especially at the start) have a lot more in the way of trackside objects than the Papy ones, so need a more powerful setup. -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

Hi, All patches have been applied, is there a particular order ? Also, i've turned that much OFF it shows the track as rectangular blocks and it looks like it was created the same time as PING..... To confirm, bias slider is TOTALLY left, no lighting in use, no drivers arms, 3 sounds, car only detail in mirrors,no skid marks/dirt/dust showing, 640 res.. hopefully, markp.........

It sounds like you haven't actually selected D3D as the renderer in the options pages.... Is this the case? Ian -- Ian Riches GPL Rank +1.76 Monsters of GPL +284.19

What cars are you running (standard or jf carset, etc..)and are you running the 3d wheels options? You really can't with that system. markp <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Are you running FSAA? Mine drops to a constant 27fps when I have fsaa on.

Hi, As far as i'm aware i'm running standard, the setup is straight of the CD, until i get use to what its got mark
