Hi!
I've been tempted by rFactor, but have heard so much about low frame
rates.
Would it be playable at all on a 1.2GHz Athlon with 512 Mb RAM and a
GeForce4 Ti 4200?
Thanks.

I can get "acceptable" fps at most tracks with the graphics
settings turned down and running at 800 X 600 X 16 in DX7 mode. I
cannot run at the street circuit track at all -- Sardinian? --
(fps *way* too low).
Since the GPU gets input from the CPU, I'd suspect that you'd be
unhappy even with the faster video card.
I'm already researching a computer upgrade for the new year.
HTH,

Thanks a lot!
I just hate it when game companies can't confess what kind of monster
you really need to use their product!

Is there a demo still, and I'm just not finding it? It would probably
give me an indication of how it will run on my system.

my sons pc is intel 1.1gig 256 meg ram and gf2. it runs, but you have to
turn the detail down. actually, surprising it does run, as min spec is
geforce3.
cheers

You most certainly do in rFactor. To me there isn't a great difference
between DX8 and DX9, but DX7 is awful in comparison.
If I had your system, I'd probably give it a miss until you were able
to upgrade.

Thanks for your feedback as well, Steve!
It's getting hard to decide. I'll make another effort to track down a
demo.

That's exactly what I've got and the demo runs pretty well, not sure
what would happen with AI or multiplayer cars though...
