Go N4!
I hate to say it, but NASCAR 3.
I have fiddled, tweaked, downloaded, re-installed, bought new
hardware, and prayed to a golden monkey and I HAVE HAD IT with NASCAR
4.
I have a P3 650, 196 Meg Ram, TNT2 Ultra , and can not run the damn
thing with 43 cars and get above 20 FPS when in the***pit view.
Come on, Im computer savvy, I've been using them since the TRS-80 CoCo
days damn it.
My computer is not that old that it should be a dinosaur that fast for
God's sake.
Anyway, after 3 weeks of of a major headache of trying to get N4 to
run smoothly I said the hell with it.
I reinstalled Nascar3 last night and wondered what the hell the big
fuss is over N4 anyway.
N3 runs smooth as glass, everything maxed, 1024x768, full field.
The racing is good (no irrating hard left pull) , the Force feedback
works great so damn it... The HELL I say with NASCAR 4.
P.S. Anyone have an Athlon 1.333 266 FSB system I could "borrow"?
I've never had much of a problem either. When I heard that N4 was going to
need a little horsepower under the hood I saved and bought an Athlon 900 with
a GeForce2 card. I've since added more memory bringing it up to 512 megs. I
enjoy 45-50 fps in 35-40 car races and I use***pit view. I have no
complaints with the game now except for the wreckers. Oh, and I connect using
DSL.
The only problem I had when buying the computer is that I didn't know what I
wanted for sound so I just went with the onboard sound until I could decide.
That made N4 unbearable. Graphics were great but the sound was awful.
Sounded like my car and all the other cars were powered by Norelco razor
motors. Then, $350 later I had a SoundBlaster Live Platinum 5.1 and a
Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 speaker system. First time I fired up the game and
stepped on the gas I thought I was gonna***my pants. ;o)

Eek. Doesn't N3 seem really cheesy physics-wise after N4?
I tried it briefly, but couldn't stand it.
I'd run less cars in N4 before going back.

In one word; physics.
I also went back to Nascar3 for a week or so, after the fustration
that Nascar 4 caused me. But after some reflection, it seemed to be exactly
the same fustration we all felt when we 1st tried GPL after years of
mastering the fine art of ICR2.
Nascar 4 is a real hog when it comes to computer power. All I can say
is to drop down the drawn cars to 24 or so in front and 4 to 6 in mirrors
and see what happens. I couldn't get it to run maxed out on a AMD K7-800
and I still can't maxed it out on a AMD 1.2 gig machine.
