Anyone else have luck with ATI card and this
demo ?

I hevn't managed to try it on my home machine with an ATI 8500 LE yet,
but I hopefully will later.
It does play fine on my ATI Rage Fury Pro at work*, though. Fine =
low 20's fps with default graphics options, except run at 800x600 in a
Window, and with no AI. This is on a PIII 933 / Win2K Pro.
Seems this sim likes CPU power more than graphics.

Have you thought that taking your AGP acceleration back to 1x/2x might speed
up your FPS in all your other sims as well? It probably will.

I very much doubt dropping the AGP speed will improve any games FPS.

Poor implementation of the hardware standard, causes the the circuits to
NOT work as efficiently as possible due to the continual changing
designs(agp x1 x2 x4) Most likely the bulk of the engineering was done on
x1 and that, while not the fastest, MAY be the most efficient....
Dang Dave Bullshitter................. :)

Frame counter starts at around 80fps, and falls rapidly. Actual frame
rate never exceeds around 1fps, from what it looks like.
I have tried the various tweaks etc. posted here and elsewhere, to no
effect.
Oh dear. I feel like I am missing out on the party.......

And of course, it is only now that i have seen the fix of disabling
hardware TnL. I'll try that.........
Party may be on again!
