Hi there. I recently bopught N2002 and when I fired it up, using N4 as a comparison, I get nearly half the frame rate that N4 gives. Wierd....... Any clues as to what is the best nvidia driver to use? Cheers, John Baldwin
N4 did have texture compression for OpenGL which NR2002 currently does not, if you have a 32 MB vid card that could be one reason...For OpenGL in NR2002, u have to have a 64 MB vid card to see fps close to N4 IMO. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash John Baldwin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1Z7x8.38657$[email hidden]... > Hi there. > I recently bopught N2002 and when I fired it up, using N4 as a comparison, I > get nearly half the frame rate that N4 gives.

NR2002 *should* have less FPS overall anyway since they made the textures larger in this release...512x512 as opposed to 256x512 in N4, right?
