NSF3: What is the highest resolution with TNT

Hi I am using Creative TNT with NFS 3 what is the highest resolution available ? I can get up to 800 x 600 but I thought we should be able to get higher ?? -- regards Leong

when it comes to the game. it';s all what your video card and monitor can support. I know for a fact i can get my needforspeed upto 1024x768 but like i said if your system doesn't support it. your not going to see it. I notice you got a tnt card but what about your monitor. if you can get 1024x768 in windows you should get the same in the game.

Direct3D in NFS3 only goes to 800x600. -- http://listen.to/these - Giving away and trading MP3s through ICQ.

Are you trying to kill it?! Ever smoke a monitor? It's not pretty... Just for arguments sake, what is your color depth? 16 bit or 32bit? You might be able to increase resolution if you DECREASE your color bit to 16. (32bit will hurt ANY slower system...)

not if his monitor and video card supports it. your monitor may support 32bit colors or higher. but your video card may not. try what this guys says and turn your colors down. On my system i didn't notice any lost of speed at 1024x768 but i am using a voodoo 2 card. with lots of ram on my system.

Thats not right ,folks! Ive got a Diamond V550 with TNT and I can reach the highest resolution of about 1.152 x 852(?) in 16 bit. All what you have to do: 1. Find the d3da.dll in your NFS-directory - not that in the 3dSetup-directory! 2. Clone it first and rename the origin file to "voodoo2a.dll". 3. Edit the "3ddata.dat"-file in the 3dsetup-directory with the notepad or anything else and add the following line: "CARD_NVidia TNT /M:voodoo2". 4. At last look for the execution link of NFSIII on your desktop and open its properties. The "rider" called like "link with.." shows you the link to execution file - called "nfs3.exe" - that you will find behind the target definition. Here you will add (after a blank (!!!)) the word "-voodoo2". (5. Dont forget to start "3D Device Setup" before launching NFSIII and select the Riva TNT graphic card - NOT "Software Rendering"!) Thats it, try it and you will find under the properties of "graphics" the wonderful world of more than 800x600. You will find more hints and a lot of new cars at http://www.camelot.warzone.com/hs3 This is one of many helpful hints of our german NFSIII newsgroup. Bye Christian

I didn't know that. I'm trying it right now. Christian Bell heeft geschreven in bericht Thats not right ,folks!

Thanks for the GREAT info! I can do up to 1600X1200 now. Stuart
