Hi Guys. I have NFS High Stakes installed on computer with AMD 800 TBird,
128meg mem, ATI Rage Fury Pro. Direct Draw 7. Monitor set at 1024X768, 16
bit high color. It is a Viewsonic 17' A75f. Game looks and runs
beautifully. I loaded game on my other computer, an AMD450, 128 meg mem,
Diamond Viper V770. Direct Draw 7. Monitor set at 1024x768, 16 bit high
color. Monitor is a Gateway 17' EV700. Game looks like crap. Pixels are
large, realism very poor. Both installs are maximum, and 40x CD-rom is used
on both. AGP enabled on both. Any idea why the second install looks so
lousey? I know neither cards are the greatest, but the Viper V770 has 32mb
memory 128bit acceleration and the RIVA TNT2 controller. It should be ok
for this game. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanx in advance. Barry

Thanx for info. I checked Display settings, and find no place to make
change. Can you be more specific. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Barry

I had the same problem with my Viper V770, it was running in software
mode. The game wasn't finding my 3d acceleration, I believe you can
change it an option menu in your start-up menu, I don't think it can
be done in the actual game option menu.

Stakes/3D devcie setup. The programs defaults to software and when you
change it to 3d it will say your video card is not compatible. Just go
ahead and change it, I have yet to have a problem. That should do the
trick.....Good Luck
