Hi, i have AMD 1200,Geforce 3 200Ti,356 RAM and Windows XP. Games like Quake3 work fine and the frame rate is descent using the Detonator 21.83 for XP. My problem is GPL. Single playing gives me 36fps using D3D but the Audigy card glitches a bit. Online playing the fps drops to 20fps on 1024.Way to low and it stutters all the time.I think,it stutters also in offline mode,but not that much. There has to be a problem around with the soundcard,the graphics or what.Maybe because the video card and everything is on the same IRQ?I dont know Anybody else with this problem!? Michael
I also have sound glitches, video is perfect in D3D and Opengl using FOVED and so on, but the sound is bad.... I have read that to fix it you have to reduce or disable hardware acceleration forthe sound but it didn't work here.

Similar problems under XP. Frame rates are excellent, though for some bizarre reason they only read out as 2.47fps, constantly. It's obvious this isn't correct. Several times per lap, the game will 'stutter' very, very badly. It's intermittent and doesn't seem to have a pattern. It's so bad sometimes that when it clears up, I'm headed off the track. Nothing fancy is running in the background, either. No other games exhibit the problem. This really bugs me as I'm starting to get into GPL heavier now :( -Larry "Michael Wollenschein" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a07k9j$im1$[email hidden]...

I'm having the same problem under win 2000. I installed some win '98 drivers for my soundblaster pci64 card and that cleared it up but, caused a whole slew of other problems in other apps. Now I'm back to the default drivers. When I disabled hardware acceleration, there was a brutal delay between what happened on screen and the audio so I raised acceleration to 1 notch below off and that has worked the best for me so far. I'm considering getting a newer soundcard and I have the feeling that, that would clear up the problems... Let me know if anyone figures out a workable solution. Jah_warrior86
