Hi I have recently installed a Geforce2 mx400 into my AMD800 and have been having problems with the graphics calibration of GP3. When I start the game it asks to calibrate the graphics card which it does, if I then use the resolution it gives me the PO runs at about 800% and the framerate is about 1FPS also I have a small rear view just below the steering wheel, totally unusable. The only way around this is to reboot the PC and ignore the request for graphics calibration and just make a educated guess. The game then runs Ok. Any Ideas what's happening ? Cheers Pete
Pete, I've seen similar behavior with FSAA turned on with my GF2 - GP3 doesn't have what one would call an "advanced" 3D engine, and it hates FSAA with a vengence. Not sure what's up with the odd rear view, though. If that's not it, I'm afraid I'm stumped ;^) Rick "Peter Wedlake" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi > > I have recently installed a Geforce2 mx400 into my AMD800 and have beenhaving > problems with the graphics calibration of GP3. > > When I start the game it asks to calibrate the graphics card which itdoes, if I > then use the resolution it gives me the PO runs at about 800% and theframerate > is about 1FPS also I have a small rear view just below the steering wheel, > totally unusable.

I have an MX400 and GP3 asks for calibration every time I run it even if I let it complete and save the settings. My old TNT2 didn't have any such problems (not really a problem - just an annoyance)

I just ignore the request to calibrate - the game still runs like greased lightning... ^_^ Martin D. Pay .sig space for rent
hmm...just noticed that if I use the "proper" drivers for my video card, it doesn't do it - it's only when I use the nVidia reference drivers that it plays up. Strange because the card uses an nVidia reference video BIOS.
