F1 2001 on Kyro II video card?

by Phillip Arche » Tue, 09 Oct 2001 07:36:00

Is anyone running F1 2001 on a Kyro II yet? Since I can't get GP3 to run at
better than about 12 fps since installing this card ( Athlon 1Ghz, 256 ram),
I'm looking for another current F1 sim that will let me do a few laps of
each circuit before the real race is held. Am I likely to get reasonable
framerate with halfway decent graphics with this sim?
                    TIA...
                    Phillip....

Runs fantastic in 16bit... 32 bit causes problems.  But at 16 bit, with
everything at FULL, at the back of the grid with mirrors on, the framerate
is liquid (1024x768).  800x600, 4xfsaa also runs pretty smooth as well.  I
am very very happy with the framerate, and the more I paly, the better the
game is as well......


mirrors on my system.

Can I ask you which drivers you are using and if you have car shadows
or not? I'm running the 1.00.07.0111 drivers and I have no car shadows
or mirrors. It runs fine otherwise.

Right here http://www.pvrdev.com/driver/index.htm. They do have issue
with some other games though, Red Faction for instance.

Hey, thanks for posting the bit about the driver version.  I switched
back to the 7.11x drivers because the 8.162a's didn't work
out-of-the-box for Operation Flashpoint (night maps).  Someone I met
online racing F1-2001 said his OPF worked (with tweaking) and that
F1-2001 worked in 16bit.  Guess it's time to move up to the newer
drivers and fiddle with the driver options.
