Re: f1 2002 - demo unplayable?

To put your triangle figure into perspective.....and your massive bottleneck.. AMD 1.33 T Bird GF2 MX 400 128 PC133 Ram 21.4 MTri/sec Greattttttt card....wasted with that system mate Andy

I recently bought GP4. Pretty good I thought. I bought f1 2001 a while ago but didnt play it much because it didnt support ff. I got the patch, and that was pretty good too. I hve a p3 800 with a geforce 4 ti4600 and get excellent frame rates in both games at 1280x1024. After reading comments in this group about f1 2002 being better than GP4 I d/l the demo. It runs at 1-2 fps. I am not exagerating. Here is my sysinfo.txt: CPU Type: Intel Pentium III 800 MHz System RAM: 128 MB DirectX Version: 4.08.01.0881 Video Card: 3D Blaster 4 Titanium 4600 Video RAM: 152 MBytes Full Triangle Rate: 17.8 MTri/sec High Triangle Rate: 19.3 MTri/sec Medium Triangle Rate: N/A Minimum Triangle Rate: N/A Recommended Object Detail: Medium Recommended Texture Detail: High Any suggestions? steve

Geeze, I dunno how you guys can handle those low poly rates. =) Getting 34.1 mil at 1240x1024x16 with 3x FSAA. Same card as the original poster. Makes me wonder what drivers he's using. I can't imagine the CPU would be holding the poly count back that much. Jason On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 00:16:17 +0100, "Andrew" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I agree the card outperforms the CPU. But GP4 and F12001 run just fine. F12002 is a slideshow. Must be more to it than that. steve

Same problem here. Running a Micron P4 1.5 GHz, 512K RAM, Leadtek GeForce3 Ti 500. Demo ran at ~2 fps. F1 2001 and Nascar 2002 run like the dickens. I have ordered the retail product and hopefully can get this worked out. TRF "Steve Rawlinson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

34.1 mill? pfft - you need about 50 mill before the game runs *smooth* ; )
