Running p4 3.2ghz system with radeon 9700pro everything on exept track

1280x1024x16 in the demo. Is this normal? Thought I would get better rates.
Any advice appreciated

if you have reflections on cars and structures,that is a big fps killer
and not that noticable i think and the only shadows I use are the car
shadows on the ground.

I think it's something other than graphics options.  In the demo and upon
fisrst install of the full version I was getting around60-70 FPS 2x FSAA 2x
1600x1200x32 something changed and I was down in the 25-30-fps range.  I
then started turning off options but I'm not gaining anything FPS wise.  I
went down to 800x600x16 no adv features and I was still getting 25-30 fps.
I re-loaded the latest catalysts and that seemed to cure the issue.  Not
sure who what why or when, but maybe give that a shot.

Should have higher FPS than that. Unless the demo runs alot worse. With
almost full everything in 1024x768x16 on my xp2000+ and GF4 MX440 i get
between 35-55fps at the back of the field...
