What gfx card?!  Please!  I'm ready to upgrade from my V3, and GPL was
just about the only thing keeping me on Glide...

With Glide I get:
22/30/36
With D3D I get:
17/28/36

I am running a PII 400 96MB RAM V3 3500 with 75% bias and lightings off...at
Mosport from the back of a full field my numbers were:

Glide:
25/20/36
D3D:
25/22/36

Both about the same...you gotta figure there musta been some more smoke in 1
start than another...I wish there was a GeForce 2 w/ a TV tuner right about
now!

System: PII400, 128MB, SB Live Value, LWFF USB
V3 2000, Driver 4.1201.0565  05/26/2000

GPL:
All Sounds
Mirrors set to Cars Only
Trackside Objects to Full
Rouen, Mid Pack Qualifying

In-Car
Driver's Arms Off

Detail Slider Set to Full Right:

Glide:

D3D:

Detail Slider Set to 1/2:

Glide:
31/21/36
D3D:
27/16/36

Toggling arms on only dropped the framerate about 1-2 fps.

So far, Glide still seems to be the best option on this machine.

Hi!

I tried it and must say that it looks better than Glide. And in comparison to Glide there is only a very small fps-hit at the start of a race. I tested with 1024x768, full eye-candy, detail slider full to the right, race start with 19 AI at Monaco from the last stall, doing nothing but staring at the frame counter ;). Framerates read as follows:
Lowest integer until flag drops/Lowest integer during AI in sight/Highest integer before beeing dropped from the race.

With Glide I get:
22/30/36
With D3D I get:
17/28/36

I'm thinking about a change ;)).
Oh well, here's my system specs: Athlon 600 on Asus K7M, 128 MB SDRAM, V3-3000, SB Live! and some other stuff. Nothing oc'd.

HTH!

I actually found things better with D3D than Glide with my V3 2000 using the
latest full drivers from 3dfx.  I got an improved framerate and a problem
which I had been having since connecting a Force RS with framerate jitter
seems to be gone with D3D.  I can set the detail bias quite a bit further to
the right with no loss of framerate.  The mirrors are better too.  The only
difference I can detect is that there seems to be a bit more mip mapping
going on.  Anyway, give it a try.  You can always go abck to Glide if you
don't like it.

Cheers
