Hi, anyone gotten this to work? I'm using the 5.33 ref drivers from reactorcritical.com, but if I turn on FSAA in D3D, all I get is something that looks like an oil painting, and no where near drivable frame rates (like 3 fps). Dennis

FSAA works fine on my guillemot Geforce DDR with 5.33. The desktop must be 16bit for GPL and FSAA only works at 1024x768 and less. I still get 36fps with a PIII 600. The only thing is that ther's not much point as you might as well use 1280x1014 or 1600x1200 if your monitor can do it. Works great for old roes limited games like Colin Marcie Rally though.

Tim, What kind of processor are you using? I'm getting a PIII 933 in another week and have been planning on getting a GeForce II GTS 64 meg card in order to run FSAA with a 19" monitor and resolutions above 1024x768 (or at least at that level, as opposed to just 800x600). Release the Holy hand grenade of Antioch, and blowest to bits thine enemies who are naughty in mine eyes! "Some Call Me Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%o2g5.802$[email hidden]...

I'll try setting the desktop to 16 bit (is at 32 bit normally) and see if that helps. I have an Athlon 800, so I should get 36 fps also :) Dennis.

I've got PIII 450 running at 600 and GP3 runs at full res under 100% at 23fps. PII 933 and GeForce 2 will be overkill for every current game especially as GPL runs no higher than 36fps and GP3 25Fps. Also FSAA doesn't work at over 1024x786 with the 5.33 drivers. However at really high res 1600x1200 and above you cannot see any jaggies anyway so FSAA is a waste of time. As I said it is really only good for running old low res games. Enjoy jour new system Some Call Me Tim I've just won my first race in GP3 at Monaco and it feels fantastic although I'm not quite crying like Barricello
