Running p4 3.2ghz system with radeon 9700pro everything on exept track specular and only getting frames around 20- 30 in light traffic @ 1280x1024x16 in the demo. Is this normal? Thought I would get better rates. Any advice appreciated

I think it's something other than graphics options. In the demo and upon fisrst install of the full version I was getting around60-70 FPS 2x FSAA 2x 1600x1200x32 something changed and I was down in the 25-30-fps range. I then started turning off options but I'm not gaining anything FPS wise. I went down to 800x600x16 no adv features and I was still getting 25-30 fps. I re-loaded the latest catalysts and that seemed to cure the issue. Not sure who what why or when, but maybe give that a shot. Mitch "Zodiac" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

if you have reflections on cars and structures,that is a big fps killer and not that noticable i think and the only shadows I use are the car shadows on the ground.
Should have higher FPS than that. Unless the demo runs alot worse. With almost full everything in 1024x768x16 on my xp2000+ and GF4 MX440 i get between 35-55fps at the back of the field...
