If your using diamond display driver check and see if it has a similar
option. If not I can give you the registry settings to put in manually. I am
using Asus v3800 (tnt2 ultra) and I put the settings in the registry
manually.
enjoy your GPL without that annoying flickering.

"Enable alternate depth buffering technique" enabling this definitely helps.
This is shown in my advanced display properties with asus v3800 driver
version 3.66b2. I don't know if it is called something else in the nvidia
reference drivers but I will check that out.
More to follow....

At the moment with the Open GL Beta 2 driver and the core.ini provided with
the Open GL driver I get just over 20fps with any cars in shot and about
25fps without. This seems a bit low to me. Is it 'cos the OpenGL driver
isn't a native GPL supported thing? Are there any suggestions for
increasing this frame rate.
Regards video options. I have all trackside objects on (they're good
reference points for braking points, etc I find), but no horizon, no grass
texture, no trees and no clouds on. I am running at 1024x768.

P.S. These framerates are certainly alot better than my old P200Pro with a
Voodoo ran!
