I bought the F1 RC and it seems that it is very demanding to processor and
videocard. I have Athlon 1200 MHz and Asus V 7700 Gforce 2 GTS, 256 RAM but
game stutters even with 800X600 resolution . Any hints how can I get it
smoother? My benchmark with Mad Onion's 3DMark is 8320. Shouldn't be a
problem.

You've got a problem with your system. It should run great. Unless you've
got enviromental mapping turned on. You'll need a 2000mhz system to make it
run above 30fps with that option turned on.

It runs great on my Athlon 750 with Radeon 64 graphics at 1024 so I'd say
theres something not configured quite right, or as you say he's got env
mapping on.

It may be an obvious suggestion, but do you have any other program running
in the background? Try shutting everything else down before running F1RC.

F1RC is quite good in the performance area it should run great on your PC.

A couple of things you could try, turn Enviroment Mapping off it is a
framerate killer, try playing with the AGP apature setting in your BIOS I
had a problem with F1RC running very badly (about 3fps) on my 1G Athton GF2
machine, I chainged the AGP apatuer and it solved the problem.
