N3 in Direct3D mode -- low frame rates

4 posts by 4 people · 28 Dec 1999 - 29 Dec 1999

Read the readme.txt. It mentions that the game doesn't like ATI Rage chips. daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
I have a K6-2 450 and a 32MB ATI Rage Fury video card. I'm getting pretty bad (10-15 fps) frame rates in 1024x768 with 12 cars drawn ahead, 4 behind, no track texture, no clouds, no infield or trackside objects. Everything else is on. I have a friend with a K6-2 400 and a 16MB Voodoo Banshee card with all graphics on, 20 drawn ahead, etc... who is getting almost 2X my frame rate. Is the Direct3D engine in N3 really that much worse than the 3dfx Glide engine? Anyone else having performance problems with D3D? Other games (Quake 3 Arena Test) in OpenGL mode look great. And D3D benchmark programs show that my D3D performance is good. Looks like a messy D3D in N3... true? Thanks, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/9740

Does it go up if you drop down to 800x600? My Voodoo2 on a Celery 450 pulls 28+ in 640x480, but starts to slow down any higher...(though I'm starting to wonder if there isn't something wrong - I CANNOT GET OVER 33 FPS IN GPL with this thing, but that's another post..) My Rendition can do good in D3D (aside from the fact that the car textures look like crap) with the reference drivers.... -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA" > I have a K6-2 450 and a 32MB ATI Rage Fury video card.
