Then I upgraded my CPU to a P3 700 and clocked it to 933. Now, the fps
counter never hits 30 at any time, even with 4X FSAA at 800X600. The
numbers on the grid are almost entirely CPU dependant.
The V5 will do wonders for visual quality with FSAA though, but that's
another story for another thread.
Currently using the D3D patch with a full field I get around 23-5 fps at the
back of a grid at Monza or Mosport which quickly shifts up to 36 once the
race is underway. I am running at 1024x768 and have Cars and Track in the
mirrors, all forward details on and only Track, Objects and Cars textures in
the mirrors. The LOD Bias is set under the I of Bias.
Would this be considered fairly usual for the type of system I am running or
should I be getting more at the start. How much of an improvement would the
V5 afford me.
Many thanks for your comments.
Actually it might not be.... I mean FPS is king with racing game right? So
when were looking at 32 and now 64 meg cards, FPS on older games like GPL,
and even newer ones like NFS HS or NFS PU, Nascar 3, RC2000, F1-2K, etc
shouldn't be much of an issue.
Now were looking at high quality visuals that first person shooters are
accustomed to... The question is can we expect awesome graphics AND still
keep our FPS up?
Speaking of FSAA has anyone given a GeForce II GTS 64 meg card a run with
the latest 5.30 Nvidia drivers, on GPL, RC2000, F12K, etc????? How does the
FPS suffer when it's 4x enabled?
