I gotta question.  I run Nascar Racing 4 at 1024x768, and I get about 30 FPS.
How can I improve my FPS without reducing Graphic Quality? And what is a good
site to Download updated Riva TNT drivers?  Thanks...

Check that V-sync is turned off for Open GL.

The obvious place to dl drivers is www.nvidia.com If you want leaked drivers
you can go to http://www.reactorcritical.com/

Ahem, he's talking about 30 fps and I assume that he isn't
running a refresh rate of 30Hz ... :-)
Like Joe, said, he needs to upgrade his computer, and when
he starts hitting 60 fps then there's a reason to turn off v-sync!

Besides, isn't N4 running under D3D instead of OGL?

Hi Jan,

in N4 you can coose which one you prefer, D3D or OGL... Exactly as in GPL
(with the patches!).

You run 60 Hz for 30 FPS....

Quote from N4 demo readme.txt

Nvidia TNT, TNT2, Geforce, Geforce2: No known issues.  OpenGL is recommended
using Detonator3 drivers.

I was stuck at 30 fps with my Geforce in OpenGL before I turned off V-sync.
Now I am in the mid forties.

If he has a TNT maybe 30 is all he's going to get!!
