GPL in cockpit view is running at 12FPS !! I've tried turning all mirrors options off and on with _NO_ difference. However in chase view (F10) the frame is always at >36fps ! What's up ? KB

Other than driver, you haven't got some 3d-wheel/cockpit add-on graphics? Well, all I could think of... /Magnus GPLRank hcp: -21.30

Are you using the D3D rasterizer? If you are, make sure you have these settings in your core.ini - [ Int Profile Values ] value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0 value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0 value5 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:0 value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:0 value7 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:0 value8 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:0 value9 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0 [ Direct3D7 ] D3DDevice = 0 TossHighestMip = 0 TrilinearFiltering = 1 DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1 DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1 DirectMirrorRendering = 1 DisableZBuffer = 0 If you aren't using D3D, then you need the D3D patch from www.papy.com . Also, get the latest drivers for the GF2 (any of 6.18, 6.31 or 6.34 will do) from www.nvidia.com . "kb" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4ptH5.6597$[email hidden]...

I run GPL in stereoscopic (it's how I play all my games) mode and do have the most recent driver from Asus - haplessly not from Nvidia for obvious reason. Thanks all for replying. BTW I've found the cause of the slow down , it's the setting of display on mirror: I had it set to buffer since It did not display the mirror images correctly, but with a solid black color cross-hatch pattern on the mirrors. My GeForce2 driver can _not_do direct display on mirror correctly - Doh ! So the current work around is I have to revert from setting it from buffer to direct. And live with the cross hatch. Thanks all again for replying. kb

Cool... Does the sensation of speed get even better with those? /Magnus GPLRank hcp: -21.30

Yes. The immersion feeling is out of this world . Since I got a taste of stereoscopic gaming 5 years ago I've never gone back to regular gaming. Worse, even my video recorder now are all done in stereoscopic and the best part is Asus driver can make viewing all my tape in 3d flicker free ! kb Magnus Svensson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
