I have the following set up

Athlon 1.2
256 meg
Geforce2 Mx

Can anyone tell me what settings I need in D3D setup to get best performance
out of GPL.

Using 12.60 drivers.  and nvmax is installed.

getting 30-36 fps with jcarset 1.1 and basic track graphics everything
turned on.  drops when all cars are running.

Just want to maximise.  Get good 45fps in N4 with everyhting on and opengl.

The 3d wheels in the jfCarSet add about 240 polygons per car, so they will
slow things down a real lot, enough that I don't use 3d wheels.  Also your
MX may be slowing things down (that's a total guess).  If you need better
fps you'll have to turn the detail bar down in GPL.

Anyway, I have these settings in my core.ini -

[ Int Profile Values ]
value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0
value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0
value5 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:0
value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:0
value7 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:0
value8 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:0
value9 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0

[ Direct3D7 ]
D3DDevice = 1
TossHighestMip = 0
TrilinearFiltering = 1
DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1
DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1
DirectMirrorRendering = 1
DisableZBuffer = 0



1. Best settings for D3D in GPL

2. GPL D3d settings

3. settings for new D3D patch?

4. Setting up D3D

5. OT D3D setting for Win98SE?

6. Gpl - MS FF Wheel settings in Gpl

7. NASCAR 3 No D3D Support, But Have D3D Video Card

8. Will GPL final version support D3D or OpenGL?

9. GPL: D3D, AND TNT
