Hi,
in the last time i�ve noticed a little slowdown on my system. Perhaps i only
think so, but to find out whats normal i need your help.
Here is my system
Asus P2B with PIII 500Mhz
128MB RAM PC-100Mhz
Nvidia TNTII Drivers 6.31 (better drivers for GPL?)
Guillemot Ferrari USB FFB Wheel
Soundblaster Live Player 1024
Everything with the newest drivers available.
I�m playing GPL ver. 1.2 with the D3d-patch
The settings in the core.ini should be o.k.
With the full field in 800x600 i can only race with a minimum of details
to get 36fps. Is this normal ?
So who the same system ?
What are your results ? (Resolution - fps)
Is there a site in the net to compare such results ?
I can remember there was a site for such things for GP2
Thanks for your help !

Maybe the video card.
My system is a PIII550, 128mb, SBLive, V3 2000 & LWFF wheel.
I play at 8x6 and get 36fps almost all the time. The only slowdowns
are at the start and some of the 3rd party tracks.
I have never played using D3D but the rest of the system is very
similar to yours.
Cheers.

sound card. I race at 800x600 and get 33-34 fps with spikes of 36, with
driver arms off, wheel off, mirrors on low. The big hit for me is not with
the graphic settings, but with my winmodem. I use the D3d patch, Dx8a, and
the latest nvidia drivers...Changing the details slider does not change the
FPS...I seem pretty locked at 33-34 regardless of the graphic settings which
tells me it is more likely related to my winmodem. I get much better ping
with my winmodem when I adjust the send/receive slider down two notches...

So yes, your system sounds normal....

Scrounge yourself an old US Robotics Sportster 28,800 external modem
for on-line racing. Use the Winmodem for regular internet stuff.
That's what I've done and it makes an enormous difference with my
Celeron 400, 64 Mb, Voodoo2 system. I just have two different modems
defined and two different entries in Dial Up Networking; "Regular" and
"VROC Only". I keep the Sportster locked at a 19,200 baud max speed.
Highly recommended.

Are you using FF ? If so should down FF run the wheel w/o it. You will not
believe how much CPU cycles are used with FF.Its a vast improvement.

Oooopps! You've got it right!!!
I had lots of stuttering on GPL until I disabled the winmodem under system
manager. Give it a try: even offline, it should make a *big* difference.
I'm considering removing my winmodem, smashing it with a hammer, frying the
shatters on hot oil and pouring them onto a shark pool.
I'm also using a Celewrong 466 and now GPL clocks rock-solid at 36 fps
@1024x768 with my brand new GeforceMX2.
Cheers.
