Swapped out the GeForce2 Ultra and I thought it would be a
lot quicker but I still get a suggested frame-rate of about
16-18fps with full "automatic" graphics checked. F1 2002
only went from the low 30s to the high 40s. Running
1024x768x32 on a flat-panel monitor. Box is Dell Dim 8100 P4
1500 512mb RAM on XP Home. Nvidia drivers are version
6.13.10.3082. Is there a tweak or setting change I missed?

GP4 is programmed....uhh...idiosyncratically.  I would stick to
F1-2002.

If you went from 32 to 48fps that would be a 50% increase.  Pretty
damn impressive if you ask me.  What were you expecting?

Not the fastest of processors nowadays.  You may well be reaching the
limits of what the CPU can do now....

Unless youare running with vsync on, unlikely.

You get a 50% increase in fps by just swapping a damn good card for a better
one and you are moaning...????????????????????????????

Sheesh...

Be sure to turn off anti-aliasing  in the GeForce 2 control panel....

Sorry for the confusion - not moaning about F1 2002, but
specifically hoped GP4 would get me up to a reasonable frame
rate as well.

I recall from being a theatre projectionsist in my younger
days that movies run at 24 frames/sec and that seems to be
pretty "smooth" to me, at least in the theatre....

It was set to atuo (and v-sync was "on"). Set both to off
and got GP4 up to 25 fps with all detail maxed at
1024x768x16. Good enough for me. Thanks for your
suggestions.

The reason 24 frames a second looks ok on film is because the actual still
images contain  'image blur' caused by movement not being perfectly frozen
in each frame .... this helps blend the imges together even at 24 fps...
                     Unfortunately I have yet to see a good [pc graphics
implementation that mimics this blurring effect .. that's why on the pc even
36fps is  bit hard to take after awhile .. it's like you have to mentally
put the image blurrring back in yourself...

That's not wrong it's quite normal. You should be very happy with that kind
of frame rate.
