I think it's actually caused by rushing out an unfinished game onto the market to take advantage of having an up to date license. I really don't think you'll find a hardware combo that willl run this game perfectly, which makes me wonder what kind of hardware was used when this game was written/ beta tested???? nixx <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:39422ad0.52423058@news-server... > > I'm wondering after seeing all of these posts about guys complaining > because they can't run F12K with everything on, even though they're > running 600's, 700's and in one case an 800.

I've got an Athlon 700, 384MB RAM, 32MB TNT2. I have the same problem, although in races the pace picks back up after the first few corners and the field thins out. "Jonathan Kiu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

With my Dell 1 Ghz + Geforce 32 DDR + ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 in system.ini, it works pretty well, but it's still impossible to run a race with all the details on at max resolution. I think that processor's speed doesn't help very much. Don't upgrade your processor for F1-2000...

I have a PII-333, 128 machine here and F12K is completely unplayable (defined as sustained framerates under, say, 25-28) at ANY rez and detail level. Difference between ours is a Voodoo2 in this machine. The Geforce must make a huge difference. I'm wondering after seeing all of these posts about guys complaining because they can't run F12K with everything on, even though they're running 600's, 700's and in one case an 800. Maybe it isn't processor speed after all, but video ram or something that makes the difference? On Sat, 10 Jun 2000 08:04:22 GMT, Jonathan Kiu <[email hidden]> wrote:
