Did your hardware run NASCAR 1 ok ? Also, game port and sound board may help someone identify your problem. My P120 did not run NASCAR 2 very well either - but the frame rates were much higher than 10fps with all graphics except car textures off. But they were not 30fps either. With a P200 - I can enable car textures, grand stands, fencing and infield vehicles and get near 30fps even in traffic. This is using a Stealth VRAM adapter. Good luck! It is most definitely a frustrating problem. /THansen > I am getting very low farme rates (7-10) in Nascar2.

I am getting very low farme rates (7-10) in Nascar2. I am running a Compaq XL 6150 150 mhz pentium, 32 meg memory, 4 meg Matrox Millennium powerdesk PCI (hardware version 001, driver mgapdx64.dll ver 2.20.031), Windows95. I did a full install under windows95, I have tried running the game from DOS with nascar2, and N2 and have tried the same under windows95, I did install the univbe driver but I did not see any improvements. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I have been looking forward to this game for quite a while and now it's too slow to play. Kevin Fisher

This is strange. I just installed N2 & a T2 on my P5-133, 32MB EDOram and 2MB EDO video card. I can run all details maxed, 12 cars in front, 4 behind and 4 car engine sounds. Framerate is between 15-20fps in SVGA. I cannot explain why you get such poor performance... > Kevin Fisher
