Re: F1 2000: anyone able to run at FULL GRAPHICS

AMD k7 800, 128 ram, spanking new V5 er no. Usually run AA 2x 800*600, and a lot of detail either low or off and reduced # of AI. A real system hog. On Wed, 12 Jul 2000 10:59:04 +0800, "* Leong" <[email hidden]> wrote:

To be quite honest my lowly PII 350mhz, Voodoo Banshee 16mb, 64mb Ram, etc.... copes fairly well in a race in full detail. problems come though in the fisrt few laps as we all know, I usually turn a few things off to get a good start and to level out the fps but i can't say that after 1-2 laps that the fps is terrible or anything, I can't really believe that a PIII 800 can't handle it as some say.

Hi I do. Haven't bothered to check frame rate as various apps to show this have varying figures. I go by the smoothness I see. It is smooth as. A little jerky the first couple of corners as the track seems to build up in the cache, but aftyer that I can have cars all around me with no affect.

hi Richie how much ram are you using? interesting to note you are using TNT2 32mb I have a feeling the game does not use system ram limiting itself only to the graphic card memory for graphics Richie ( Piotr O. ) <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8khjfu$bba$[email hidden]...

hi tony I guess there is NO GAME that runs slow on your megamachine :-) how is your load time for F1 2000 seeing that you have a SCSI drive? could you kindly time it for me...

Load times on F12000 are negligable between my 4.2GB IDE and my 18.2GB SCSI SCSI drives shine when they're coupled with several drives and each one is being access simultaneously (i.e server solutions). Save your dough and stick with IDE. In many instances, a single IDE drive is cheaper and faster than a single SCSI drive. The price/performance is just not worth it when you get to a drive that will match your decent spec'ed IDE drive. Cheers, Rod.
