Dumb question.... how do you check your framerate in N4. Running on slow
system. 400celeron 256 meg ram TNT2. Not as smooth as N3 but seems pretty good
to me. TIA

It's F
Prepare to be shocked though. I thought the game ran very smooth on my
system. It turned out to be 15fps. :(

turn off the grand stands,  limit the amount of cars you can see and cut
back the amount of cars in the field.  Shorten the viewing distance  use low
rez cars.
all of these will increse your fps provided your cpu isn't totally
overwhelmed by N4.  The single biggest way to increae fps is to race
online...big improvement
when the cpu isn't driving for all those other cars.

  Well thats two years of R&D then on multiplayer code.....I go from low
20's
on my P3 500 to 40's and 50's online, which is a number I never saw even
with the demo.   I will stress tho, that each track seems to
affect/effect(?)
the fps differently.

Got and installed my Voodoo5 tonight replacing that demon-possessed
GeForceMX and I was getting up to **75** fps at Daytona with the
rooftop cam and nowhere did the rate fall below 55.  Even running a
full field, it was about 40...  That's with a p3/800 and 256 megs.

Verrrrrrrrrrrry impressive...
