Eh? Is this twue? Seriously though...wot a bummer and whats an even bigger pain is I've just upgraded from a P2 400mhz 64mb to a AMD XP1700 with 512mb in order to play the dammed thang. And now I've got to ditch the V3000 as well??? Bollox !! Or as Terry Thomas would say "Blaaaaaaaaaaaast and buggeration !!" Ian.
Well it works with my V5500 but the framerates are not great and thats with graphics turned down low Also the armco turns purple in the distance. Been eying up a GF3ti200 to run it better, but might wait now for the GF4ti range -- Cheers, Robin ................... `o^=o- http://www.oppositelock.freeserve.co.uk N�rburgring and Grand Prix Legends "idav" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a3uq00$6hc$[email hidden]... > Eh? > > Is this twue? > > Seriously though...wot a bummer and whats an even bigger pain is I've just > upgraded from a P2 400mhz 64mb to a AMD XP1700 with 512mb in order to play > the dammed thang.

Even if the V3 worked it would run poorly. When I upgraded to an AMD 1600+ with 512 MB Ram I tried my V5 5500 and the frame rates sucked (barely 30 fps turning graphics down). I upgraded to a GF3 Ti 500 and get 100 fps in test mode and 40-80 racing with a full field (1280x960x16-bit) and all graphics on high/full. Ian, handicapping your new 1700+ with an old V3 is like driving a Ferrari F50 with square tires. ;0) -- Joe Marques "idav" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a3uq00$6hc$[email hidden]... > Eh? > > Is this twue? > > Seriously though...wot a bummer and whats an even bigger pain is I've just > upgraded from a P2 400mhz 64mb to a AMD XP1700 with 512mb in order to play > the dammed thang.
