1600x at all times except for a few seconds at the start of races at SOME
circuits. That's with a GeForce 2 Ultra and 1.2 Athlon. I've got the
detail bias, the number of cars, FF, and number of sound channels all set to
max. FSAA is set to the driver default, i.e. let application decide.
What version of the nvidia drivers are you using?
