N4: Need a framerate limiter, please?

My N4 purrs along quite happily at about 45 fps the majority of the time, but I notice a stutter going round bends at some tracks (Rock most noticeably). A check of the framerate shows that the fps briefly goes UP to about 70, and that's what's causing the stutter. Is there any way to 'limit' or 'max out' the framerate? Say, go to a maximum of 45fps? Thanks for the help... -- Colin ICQ 25485061

Beg pardon; System specs are AMD K7 750, SBLive, Voodoo 3, 128Mb RAM. -- Colin ICQ 25485061 Colin Harris <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ssux6.1115$[email hidden]... > My N4 purrs along quite happily at about 45 fps the majority of the time, > but I notice a stutter going round bends at some tracks (Rock most > noticeably).

Well I have only a guess...what is the refresh rate your monitor is set at? Perhaps you have a low refresh rate and your system is overloading the drivers. two things to check..make sure Vsync is disabled and your refresh rate is at least 75hz dave henrie "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Gvux6.1124$[email hidden]...

I was about to suggest the opposite. Enable vsync and lower the refresh rate. That should limit the framerate.

Only thing is, Vsync's a Glide thing, yes? But I'm running it D3D. Moot point, anyway, cos I tried it and no change. I'll try suggestion 2 now! -- Colin ICQ 25485061 Jon Willeke <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I was about to suggest the opposite. Enable vsync and lower the > refresh rate.

no vsync is not a glide only option...I have no clue about where it might be in your driver set, but it should be there to shut off somehow... dave henrie "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:y0Px6.3441$[email hidden]...
