Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

| I am sorry, I should have been more specific. I hear a huge difference, I
| run the Klispch Pro Media's and the sound is absolutely fantastic. 3d is
| definitely the only way to go with the Live card and these 4 speakers/sub.
| What I was referring to, was I did not see the big framerate difference
when
| running with 3d sound versus without 3d sound enabled.

With 35 cars ahead, 3 behind and real world detail to full with 70% draw
grandstands and etc with a full field. During a normal race and all the
cards spread out a little, I get 50fps average.
I wonder what a good GF2 or 3 card will do?
