I gotta question. I run Nascar Racing 4 at 1024x768, and I get about 30 FPS. How can I improve my FPS without reducing Graphic Quality? And what is a good site to Download updated Riva TNT drivers? Thanks...

Check that V-sync is turned off for Open GL. The obvious place to dl drivers is www.nvidia.com If you want leaked drivers you can go to http://www.reactorcritical.com/ "Joe Marques" <Joe [email hidden]> skrev i meddelandet news:J5Pa6.160779$[email hidden]...

Ahem, he's talking about 30 fps and I assume that he isn't running a refresh rate of 30Hz ... :-) Like Joe, said, he needs to upgrade his computer, and when he starts hitting 60 fps then there's a reason to turn off v-sync! Besides, isn't N4 running under D3D instead of OGL? Jan

Quote from N4 demo readme.txt Nvidia TNT, TNT2, Geforce, Geforce2: No known issues. OpenGL is recommended using Detonator3 drivers. I was stuck at 30 fps with my Geforce in OpenGL before I turned off V-sync. Now I am in the mid forties. If he has a TNT maybe 30 is all he's going to get!!
