thanks for the info. It was me who had asked, and here is what I'd asked in
detail. Maybe if you find the time... ;-)
*************************************
Could I politely ask an owner of a Radeon8500, preferrably on an AthlonXP
1800+ or similar system, to run the following test under OpenGL for me:
Nascar 4 (by Papyrus) run in OpenGL
Resolution 1280 x 960 (16 bit colours)
All graphics detail and quality settings ON and set to maximum, except
- Specular Highlights OFF
- Mirror viewing distance only 50% (but front 100%)
16 sounds heard
3D sound and EAX both ON
4xFSAA (please _not_ Smoothvision)
Anisotrophy = 4 (32 tap)
Multitexture forced ON
VSync forced OFF
If you wish to overclock your system, please do so, but tell me what speeds
you had it overclocked to.
Could I ask you to please go to Watkins Glen, the pits, hit the brake as
soon as your car gets placed on the track, and see what fps you get there
while standing still?
Then, drive out of the pits, keep a speed of around 80mph, and see the fps
you get when you enter the first
righthander (the first of the Esses).
Then continue to the inner loop and see
what fps you have at the 500 yards sign (on the left of the track), then
continue through the outer loop and check which is the lowest fps you get
after leaving the outer loop (happens within 200 yards from the outer loop),
and then again tell me which fps you get as you enter and leave T11 (the
final righthander)?
I don't want to be impertinent by asking this, I know I'm asking quite a
lot. But I'd be very grateful if someone could do this test run. I'm sure
there'd be others interested, too. From all the messages it's really
difficult to find out which of the two cards (GF3Ti500 and Radeon8500) is
the better card for me.
Thanks in advance!

Awww...man, that's a lot of stuff you are asking me to do. 1800+? That's
1.5ghz, right? The most I have had my 1.33c up to is 1.46ghz. I'll think
about it.
thanks for considering it. I don't want to sound un-modest, but I think it's
a 5 minute affair, actually. It sounds like more than it really is :-)

Still thinking. :-) But, I did save your post with the user settings to my
harddrive.
