have a dud card, or you have some settings that are incorrect. But on that system, as with mine you
will almost never get 36fps on or near the back of the grid as you did with the Voodoo card. Mine
goes to 36 right after the start, so its a non-issue for me at least. You should also try the new
OpenGL rasterizer posted at the racesim forum, but you have to be running 30.30 detonators or higher
I believe(at the OpenGL part).
