visible. I don't notice it much, because there are rarely any cars in
my field of view. I'm not _terrible_ at GPL, but the field spreads
out quickly, if you know what I mean.
However, the frame rate with many cars, high resolution, lots of
detail, etc., is still better than it was when I was running my last
video card, a TNT2 Viper. I had to reduce all detail in order to get
it to a decent frame rate at all, and I usually didn't run more than 5
cars or so.
I spend most of my time in Training, or in Novice races. My Watkins
Glen PB is around 1:07:22, Monza around 1:30.
