instead of my TNT2 32 meg. At the start of a race with a full field of 42
cars, I forget the track, I would get 22 FPS using Direct 3D with my TNT2
but with the Geforce it went down to 15 FPS. Open GL was another story.
The Geforce is a lot quicker using Open GL.
I decided to keep the TNT2 board anyway.

I had a TNT2 V770 32 meg card and was getting 32 FPS on N4.
Bought a 3D Prophet Geforce 64 meg card and now I get about
24 FPS?
What gives?
Rest of my system:
WIN ME
900mhz athlon
256 megs PC100
23 gigs HD available
SBlive
44X cd
Using Liveware 3.0 with ME patch
detonator drivers and hercules drivers both about the same.
Suggestions?
Did you select the hardware TnL renderer for D3D in the N4 setup? Theres
two in the list.
