nascar 4 geforce 3 question

right now I have a Geforce II Ti. I run N4 at 4x antialias with vsync on, and get 19-24 fps. Now I have tried it with aa and vsync off, and can get 70+ fps, but I like the aa better (doesn't make my eyes water trying to look at a curve up ahead). I'm thinking about getting a gf3 if it has significantly higher fps while running aa and vsync. Can somebody with one of these tell me what kind of improvement it would be?

At what res and what cpu do you have along with it? Most agree that anything above 800x600 doesn't really need aa or FSAA, and your fps will go way up. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash jon <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a2vh61$d7g$[email hidden]... > right now I have a Geforce II Ti.

In Nascar Heat though at the same res the jaggies are not nearly as prominent. I would think a GF3 using Quincunx method of FSAA should be able to run N4 at a pretty decent frame rate at 1024x768. Not 4x FSAA though.

athlon 1700 xp, running at 1024 x 768. On mine the higher resolution still has some hellacious jaggies, but it only really bothers me cause I can't see some of the curves clearly til I get right up on em. Don't get me wrong though, I ain't bitching. With the aa on 4x the game is still very playable at around 20 fps, especially after trying to play it on a 400 mhz Celeron with a 16mb PCI card.

Agreed. I can run my P3 1gig in Quincunx (is that a dirty word ?) at 1024x768 with good results. It does get boggy in spots when the action gets furious or at spots on certain tracks, but its nothing a P4 1.5gig couldnt cure I just run it at 1024x768 without quincunx though. the slight jaginess doesnt bother me. Using an Asus V8200 G3 for the record. Quincunx is also the happy medium between 4xFSAA and plain ol rendering if i remember anyway.
