rec.autos.simulators

Mr. Pabst,

     I found a link to your log in the rec.auto.sim newsgroup. I thank you
more then you'll ever know! I race Nascar 2002 and was doing ok with a
geforce2 32meg. but had to have better so I bought a Ti 4200 128meg. The fps
were the same. I tried everyones tweaks, downloaded and tried every tweak
program. Still I could not make the card perform well. I would gain fps but
would suffer picture quality and that was the reason for the new card. Alot
of people told me that with a PIII 1.0gig that's the best the card would do.
Well now I can tell them bull-dookey! Using your tweaks I went from good
picture 35-50 fps to great picture and 45-100fps. I tested the settings at a
daytona AI race and soiled my pants when I hit 100 fps in turn 1 by myself.
The picture quality is great..jagged walls are gone and cars are crisp. My
3-D Mark 2001 se benchmark went from 3500 to 5800!
    Thanks for the settings and your now my new  vid card GURU!

Guys, this is the link to the same "Tweaks and Settings" log that Larry
downloaded and speaks of in his email.  If it helps any of you like it did
Larry.....that's great!

"Thank you," Larry for taking the time to write me and "make my day."  I'm
glad something I did was able to help you squeeze out some better
performance for your equipment.

Regards,

Tom
