N4/ V3000 stuttering?

by J. Janaso » Mon, 26 Feb 2001 10:06:08

Anyone else having this problem, I've tried different drivers for the V3
1.05 and 1.07.  I'm using DX8 also.   Is my vid card just a turd or what?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

P3V4X
V3000
256m micron
sb live
pro 2 wheel

Thanks

corners? at the pits? )

For me, it happens only at certain corners. For example, I can get
bad stutters in the turns at Rockingham, even though indicated FPS
is in the mid-40's. I tried turning off skid-marks, didn't help.

It's not related to disk-cache, as some have implied, since I
see absolutely no disk activity when it happens.

Running a Duron 700, 128MB RAM, V3000 (4.12.01.0666), SBLive!,
LWFF, DirectX7a.

  My first thought would be the limited texture memory on the V3.  Also with
my V5, I got MUCH better framerates with D3d...make sure you choose that
option, not opengl.  Use enditall to stop background programs.
turn your world details down in the game.  lower the car detail...
can you tell I'm shooting in the dark here?  :)

N4/ V3000 stuttering?

I'm already running in D3d and with all others apps killed. The
strange thing is I don't always experience the stutter... I've tried
to notice some pattern that could be causing it, but nothing so far.

Going to try playing with the graphic details next and see what
happens, although I'm not sure it will do anything. The FPS stay
relatively high (40+) when the stutter occurs.

Your shot in the dark is still appreciated, thanks! ;)
