Hi, just changed my P100 for a P166, this thing really flies ...

Please could anybody, tell me opinions for the best graphical
setup in SVGA ...

Thanks in advance

I am thinking of getting the same P100 to P166 upgrade but what exactly
do you gain? How much?
Tanker

Textures on; kerbs,fences,track,banks,trackside objects
Plot in mirrors: fences,verge, track,bank,smoke
texture in mirrors: none

Trackside: low, 18.2 frames/sec
Trackside: medium, 16.0 frames/sec

You should find these the best compromise for overall gameplay. There will
still be occasional slowdowns, but otherwise its quite good in traffic.

What if you turn down _all_ detail in the mirrors? (they aren't there to admire
the landscape :-)  )
Should make a big difference.

The difference between say just track and track,verges,fences isn't very
much, but having _all_ off does make a  difference.

I'd revise the above to:

No mirrors
Trackside: low, 21.3 fps
Trackside: Medium, 18.2 fps

For tracks such as Imola, Monaco, Germany, Monza, Adelaide with medium
detail I wouldn't recommend any more than 16fps.

These estimates might seem low but there is a reason. I recommend lower
fps because I really like to avoid slow-motion mode as it affects my
rhythm; which I need more than ever when passing.
