OT D3D setting for Win98SE?

A while ago Tom Pabst wrote info on how to setup nVidia's OGL in the properties advanced menu. Does anyone have a post or info on "how to" for D3D too? Tia..

This is what my d3d properties are set at - this is with the Nvidia 10.80 drivers. Adjust z-buffer depth to rendering depth is checked - only box checked in that column. Mipmap detail level = high performance up to 31 mb of system memory for textures in pci mode additional: Vertical synch = always off Render no more than 1 frame ahead I seem to get pretty decent performance with these settings.

Set your refresh rate at the highest setting you are allowed for your monitor at the specific screen res you want to run N4 at. **Advanced Settings Tab For OpenGL: In The Scroll Down Box: Enable Buffer Region Extension (checked) Allow the dual planes extension to us local video memory (checked) Use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering (checked) ****all others are unchecked**** Default Color Depth for Textures: Always Use 16 bpp Buffer Flipping Mode: Use page flip Vertical sync: Always off Full Scene Antialiasing Method: Always off Use up to [62] MB of system memory for textures in PCI mode **Mother Board BIOS Settings: Video BIOS Shadow = "Disabled" Video BIOS Cache = "Disabled" Palette Snoop = "Disabled" AGP Turbo (or x4) = "Enabled" (if your mobo supports it....disabled or 2x or 1x if it does not) PnP Aware OS = "Yes" AGP Aperture Size = 128 mb (only if you have 128 mb or more...which you should) Resources Controlled by = "Auto" Assign IRQ to VGA = "Yes" Tom Pabst -Racing.com Regards Phil
