Hi, My friend has recently upgraded his PC to a PIII 800 on a Jetway 993 board with 256 mb pc100 ram, and an ATI Radeon VIVO DDR 64 video card. This basic setup should give a constant 36 fps yes? Well he gets as low as 9 - 12fps starting from the rear of a grid. As far as I know he has tried running in openGL, rastizer, and D3D all with the same results. Can anyone help?

Try the ATi special purpose (beta) drivers with Papy's D3D rasterizer and set GPL for Direct3D7. My PIII933/384MB PC133/ATi Radeon 32DDR/W2K Pro system is a solid 36fps (full details, full mirrors) during "training". I haven't checked framerates during a race yet. Has your friend followed the D3D install instructions and modified the INI file? If so try changing the setting of z-buffer. My old ATi Rage Fury reacted significantly to either a 1 or 0 in that setting. SB.
