Hiya folks,

Anyone else with the msff notice a better fps performance with ff
turned on?
With 1.1 the fps would often drop below the 30's. That was reason
enough for me to turn it off. (for online racing anyway)
But it seems that with 1.2 the framerate is a constant 35-37
Hope this isn't just wishfull thinking on my part, so I would like to
hear from other msff users some sort of confirmation :)

Better with FF on? I tried turning FF on last night, but I experienced a
major drop in framerate, so I turned it of immediately. What's your
secret? :-)

Are you using  v3.02 of the FF drivers?

Probably not, since I've never installed an update. Do you know where I
can find them?

Yes, I noticed a jump in frame rate with 1.2.  Is it true that using 3.02
version makes a difference?  I got my MSFF only a month or so ago, so
will it have shipped with these drivers?  I'll try and check when I get
home.

I purchased a MSFF a few days ago and the driver version was 3.0, so yours
is probably also.  I installed the 3.02 version and had a few problems and
needed to reinstall some files from the CD.  No change in performance yet
but I wasn't looking closely.
