Just noting my framerates (with the DEMO version)
System:
Intel 233MMX
512K PB Cache
64MB SDRAM
Monster 3D (3dfx)
(Latest Drivers)
Frame Rate (varies with location on track):
No other cars on track.
All graphics options on (Cockpit, pitboard, full detail).
I got between 15 and 21 fps at Laguna Seca.
Turning the Picture-in-picture on brought it to between 13 and 17 fps
Full viewing (clipping) distance (P in P off) gave 13 - 17 fps
Shortest clipping distance (P in P off) gave 19 - 23 fps
Not bad, but with cars on the track, it might be worse.
BUT!!! I will turn off all the graphics options I need to get it to run well. To
me the
physics and the AI is FAR FAR more important to me than graphics. At speed
and in traffic, you hardly notice the eye candy. I loved ICR1 when I had a 386/25
and
I had to turn off almost all of the detail -- because it was a good racing sim.
