I only have the demo but I did the same upgrade (V3 to GF 2MX) on an
overclocked PIII 450 (510-ish). In Nascar 4 demo, unlike some other
games, the difference is easily noticeable. On average, I'd say the demo
profited 30-40% in FPS. Probably the use of T&L helps a bit, and I'd
dare to say it's true especially with slower processors. I have no idea
if it's of any use when other cars are nearby, but I gather that the
relative percentage in improvement should still be about the same.
