Anyone have any suggestions for tweaking a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP for better performance in N4? Any help appreciated. Dennis
I've had a lot of success using the suggestions at this site: http://www.3dspotlight.com/tweaks/voodoo5/index.shtml I get about 45 to 60 fps in N4 with my V5 depending on the situation on the track racing the ai... the lowest I have seen it go was about 32fps behind everyone at Martinsville in an ai race. I have a 1.2ghz. athlon on an Abit KT7A-Raid mobo using the 133 fsb with a 9X multiplier. I also have 256mb (2 X 128) PC133 SDRAM and I have used all the memory tweaks this mobo allows. I don't know how much this other stuff is truly impacting frame rate as I set up the system before I had N4 installed... I really don't feel like going through each setting and undoing each one at a time to see how it affects the frame rate as everything works so darn good I don't want to change anything.

Sorry, I should have also noted that I am running at 800X600 with 2X FSAA enabled in D3D... I tried it a 1024X768 with 2X FSAA but I didn't think the view justifed the frame rate hit on my 17" monitor. I am upgrading to a 19" monitor in the future so I may change my mind on that issue... until then I'm sticking with 8X6. Robin
