I was getting 22fps with all cars on monza grid, with new V3 drivers it is max at 36fps. 800x600 p3 500 V3 3000 128ram any body else have this increase? Thanks Jon

Are you sure? I get a small slow-down with the new drivers. You haven't changed any of the advanced settings like LOD bias have you, because that will definitely speed the game up? Do you mean the 1.5 drivers btw?

Very strange, the game is running faster for you than it is for me on a P3-650/V3-3k. Are you sure it isn't something else, like you've turned down the detail slider in GPL, because this makes a huge difference to the frame rate. With the bar on 3/4 I get 36 fps. With the bar at full I get 28 fps. That's sat at the back of a full grid at Monza with all the details from the in-car view at 1024*768. Those figures are virtually identical with both the 1.05 and 1.04 drivers.

Seems to be a slight improvement in image quality, and possibly a small improvement in speed over the hacked betas (1.04.9c) i was using Martyn_D SKurj wrote:
