Does anyone have a Celeron overclock or not with a Vodoo 1 card. what video card how much ram What frame rates are you getting how many cars on the track what details are turned on Thanks in advance for your responces.
Yup, I have a Celeron A-300 with an Abit BH-6 motherboard. 128Mb PC100 SDRAM and a Diamond Monster 3D (voodoo 1; 4mb). The CPU is overclocked to 374Mhz. Pretty much getting close to 36FPS most of the time with all details on and 19 other cars. It can sometimes drop to the twenties if there is a lot going on during a race... lots of cars passing me while there is a crash at some other part of the track or something. At the starting line at Mosport it is low twenties or very high ***s just at startup but then immediately climbs and settles to higher numbers. Cheers, Gian Vitzthum.

I made an error, here folks! Sorry! <red faced and ducking for cover> I changed driver character and didn't change the settings to go with it. My numbers below are with detail bias set to medium and sounds at only four. When I went back and put detail up to full and sounds up to eight frame rates of about fif*** to twenty on the first corner of Mosport with 19 opponenents made the game really sluggish. I have since gone back and put detail bias back in the middle. My apologies, Gian.

I have a 300a w/BH6 mobo, Diamond Monster 1, 64mb SD100 ram. The processor is o/c to 450 and the 3dfx set at standard. I get 30fps at the start from the back of the field with all 19 cars and 32 to 36 fps at all other times. The graphics are at 640x480, no mirror detail, detail bias low, and sound at 3. Everything else is at the maximum.
