-- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how
hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
With the steering wheel on, and before tweaking I was getting something
like 40ish and the steering seemed to be delayed some. after doing a bunch
of adjustments and increasing the frame rate the steering wasn't as delayed.
at 60, and without the wheel it feels almost perfect. Although I had it CPU
OCed once before and got something like 140 or 177 fps and everything was
absolutely fluid. So, going with this experience you want 5K fps but my
current 60 should be what you should shoot for. if you find a way to get
that 5K let me know ;-)

Unless you have a Radeon card.
Radeon's need to be run in 32-bit.
ATI's drivers, frankly, really suck at 16 bit color. All the effort has
been put into 32 bit performance.
Which is not really a bad thing :)

Are you running N4 in direct X or Open GL? Papy recommends Open GL for the
Ge Force cards. **MAKE SURE** you turn off "v-sync" in your display
properties, Open GL settings. If v-sync is "on" your frame rates in N4 will
be cut in 1/2.
To answer your question... you should always have at least 30 FPS. That's
with several cars drawn in front and behind you. If you can maintain at
least 30FPS with several cars drawn, then you won't see any stuttering.

3DMark2000 is a relatively well-known benchmarking utility that you
can download and run yourself. Sure you can post your info if you
want and you can pay them for their 'Pro' version if you want, but
both are optional. The benchmark program is freely available...
