CPR Improved D3D??

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone with the STB velocity card has tried CPR with the final patch and noticed less flashing in D3D mode? The reason I ask is, today I added 32MB more Sdram to my system total of 64 now and it seems to have almost no flashing in D3D mode. I am trying to figure out if it was the patch or Ram or both? It still has a little flashing but barely. Also Ive noticed the flashing is much better( less) the more effects you have on? Thanks, Mike

Hi there, even after the patch I still had flashing with my Total3d 128v. Canopus just released new drivers for my board and all flashing is gone now. Must have been a driver problem for the Total3d 128v.

Just wondering, what kind of Velocity card you have?? Velocity 3d or Velocity 128, i think that 128 will be much better in the CPR because it is a much faster card at winbench. 128 also have more 3D enhancements.

Does anyone know whether these will run on the STB Velocity 128? Randy

My P300 still flashes like no tomorrow, but some tracks are worse than others. Tracks to avoid in hardware mode: Laguna Seca, any oval, Long Beach, Toronto. Tracks which look okay: Mid-ohio, Portland, Elkhart Lake. Randy Randy Magruder Contributing Reviewer Digital Sportspage http://www.digitalsports.com

As far as I can tell, this is definitely a driver problem. The flashing was there also with the earlier Diamond Viper V330 drivers but was completely fixed by a later driver release. --- Antti Markus Peteri "He was a bold man that first ate an oyster."

Hey thanks Annti, Now I am wondering, in the December Issue of Boot magazine they tested both the V330 & the STB velocity. They said that these 2 cards were so similar that they could even run each others drivers! Hmmm I wonder if I should hehehe, I will let you know if I do 8-) Aloha, Mike > > >Hi all, > > >I was just wondering if anyone with the STB velocity card has tried CPR

The 1.15 turbo version has this GDI acceleration caper that is supposed to speed 2D acceleration but I am sure it has a negative effect on 3D performance. After initially getting 1.15 I installed 1.14 and F1RS came to life. Free resources went from 82/83% to 95/96%.
