wonder if any of you have any words of wisdom? my sys is a p3-500 256ram, voodoo4/5 32ram and runnning win98 installed N4... got a prob. if i run it in openGL, i get about 7fps very choppy and that is limited to 20 cars, and most of the effects off. and thats at 800x600 basically not drivable. if i switch to D3D, the frame rate jumps to 24, and i can turn some of the effects on, and run at 1024x728! so whats the prob? you ask... well i can't do a full lap ! i get dumped back out to desktop every time, no matter what track. even if i change resolutions. and i've changed my VD4 card to be D3D or openGL for each test.... any ideas? bo
Well, D3D generally runs a lot faster than OpenGL. Are you o'clocking your V4? Or cpu? If so, well... D/l the latest drivers, dx8, etc. Rafe Mc On Wed, 15 Aug 2001 22:27:30 GMT, [email hidden] (bb) wrote:
