Flame warNASCAR 4 frame rate help derailed by cross-post troll

Chris Cavin asked why NASCAR 4 ran poorly on his GeForce2 MX, and selecting the T&L driver fixed it. A troll cross-posted the thread to other newsgroups and posted nonsense replies, which regulars mocked or killfiled.

Finally, last month, I update my computer to a P-III-600 and GeForce2 MX 32 MB so that it will run GPL at 1024x768 with all details and a full field at 36 fps all the time. And then... I downloaded the N4 demo and had to run 800x600x16 with no details on to get greater than or equal to 36 fps all the time running all alone. Doh! Oh, well. I guess we all have to have something to look forward to, don't we? My next computer upgrade when N4 is released. And I don't even like NASCAR. :) -Chris- **Jesus saves sinners and redeems them for valuable cash prizes** Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
Those numbers don't sound right to me. I have a pretty similar system, P3-650, GF2 gts and I get 1024*768*16-bit, everything turned on, running at about 55-60 fps. You should be getting something like 45-50 fps surely. Are you running at least Detonator 3? (3.18 or higher) Also did you select the TnL driver?

As said as above.. you most not have setup N4 right. I have a celeron 300a @ 374mhz voodoo3 2000 and 64mb ram, 800x600x16 with full detail i get on average 29fps lowest is around 22. Havent tried with all the detail off, but it would be alot faster Luke -=87=- Chris Cavin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9045ms$s1u$[email hidden]...

Surely it's some sort of automated reply dreamt up by the Mormons as part of their plan to make sure everyone on the Usenet is "saved"? -- Tony Whitley "Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned." And now we return to our scheduled programme: "Ferrari is the epitome of mechanical beauty and Ferraris are acquired by men who wish to turn their dreams into reality and inject into their lives a long period of youthful passion. I guess this is why there is Ferrari and then there is everything else." - Enzo Ferrari, on the Ferrari mystique (Translated from Italian) "Barton Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote ... > Man, for someone who appends a bunch of obscure moralistic claptrap to > your drivel, you sure got a lot hangin'... why not emulate Judas and > take it to its logical conclusion? > > Wasn't Scott O'Grady the actor who played "Shotgun Slade"? > > All That Heaven Will Allow wrote: > > > > I've got your "Justify" hangin' > > > > <exits licking thumbs> > > > > > All That Heaven Will wrote... > > > > H'yeah, Jan, I've got your "care" hangin' > > > Onward Christian Soldier, > > Steven Richards > > > > It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might > > harvest.
