I downloaded the opengl beta driver for GPL and am only getting 21.x fps incar, 36 outside car. This is in all resolutions. Is there a magic setting in the display properties for the GEForce? Maybe a tweak in the core.ini to up the fps? I'm sure this has been brought up, but I was unable to find any posts on this. Sorry if this has been hashed out before. I just hope I'm not going to have to swap my geforce for my voodoo3 3k every time I wanna play GPL. :( any info appreciated... thanks in advance jeremy

did you install the specified lines into the core.ini? if so then try using a MirrorsEvery = 3 or 4 setting. nVidia's OpenGL sucks at copying the mirror texture over so doing that every frame can severely impair the framerate. maybe this will help. Grant. (with athlon 700 + geforce DDR that flies in GPL)

I use trilinear filtering and mirrors every 2nd frame and my GPL-settings are: 1024x768, all textures except sky/clouds, drivers arms and slanted tires (dunno the english expression ;-), mirrors: cars and track with textures, detail slider halfway, fire and smoke, nothing else tagged on the right, 16 sounds. gives me allways 36fps: at start in monaco from the back offline, in online races etc. just drops to 25-30 fps when there is a VERY bad crash. if you have a GeForce DDR and an athlon or P3, you have probably set mirrors to every frame - this gives me about 25 fps ...
