Is anybody here running F1 2001 and a retail version Radeon 8500? If so, can you tell me how it performs? -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com
Check the HG forum; plenty of stuff, including screenshots, there. SB "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CaZ_7.5488$[email hidden]...

I saw some screen shots there, but nothing on performance or glitches. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4gZ_7.37031$[email hidden]... > Check the HG forum; plenty of stuff, including screenshots, there. > > SB > > "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CaZ_7.5488$[email hidden]... > > Is anybody here running F1 2001 and a retail version Radeon 8500?

I'm using one in a T-bird 1.2 rig. This thing rocks!! 1600x1200 32 bit all maxed and the frames stay around 30-60 using a modified f1car.gen to keep the cars in view and high res longer. Now if only the game didn't kick me back to the desktop after each race. Anyone know a fix for this? Very annoying as I have to reboot my computer in order to race again.

It already is. I get the boot after every race. Really puts a damper on the game and the card.

Hmm...must be some setting you have somewhere that is causing it. Do you have FSAA (smoothvision) on? I got problems in F12001 if I had that on. Which drivers are you using with R8500?
Not using Smoothvision. My drivers are Omega 9008 version. "The Hardy Boys" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MLZ%7.174$[email hidden]...

Any idea why the game kicks me out after the race. I should mention that I also am using the excellent GT Mod by M@d69. Awsome mod. "Richard "ZZ" Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%Ig08.41888$J%[email hidden]...
