Hi,
The first demos (monza and WG) with Win95 osr1 worked very well (about
20fps (estimate) detail bias maxi, all objects, 640*480) with a phoenix
banshee, P166 (non MMX), 96ram.
The win98 demo sucks (same PC, HD faster...) about 8fps with the same
setup UNLESS SHADOWS! we can't disable shadows in the new demo? and in
the game?
(same swap config: 300mg fix and same vcache config <- very important
for people who didn't try this yet: see http://www.f1racingsim.com/
anyone compared the new demo vs the old ones and find some differencies?
Seb
I tried it as soon as I heard the NEW demo was out.
On my P2-233, 64MB, Stealth II S220 (Rendition 4mb), with ALL-details maxed
out, 10 sounds, FULL-bias, I get (in the NEW demo):
resolution, I can only top out at 28 fps. Even with detail-bias at 1%,
mirrors to "cars & track", 1 sound, etc. - still 28 fps.
Thinking about it now, it's the same for me In the final version. With 19
seems I just can't top it.
Anyone else see this happening? Can anyone offer an explanation?
Thanks,

Must be something seriously wrong with my set-up then, AMDK6-2 3d 300 O/c to
333 with 128mb ram Monster 3dfx 1 and with 5 Ai`s and detail at 50% some
textures turned off 800X600 I`m lucky to see 14-20 fps incar and 20-36
outside view at monza.

Not sure, for GPL rendition card is better than voodoo 1 (i think have
read this) and P2 is better in FPU (but with a 100MHz difference i have
some doubts) but like i said in my initial post some little things in
the windows setup change a lot the fps: fix swap file (even with lot of
ram) and the vcache setup (i don't know which one is the most important
i always did them in same time)
you have both win98?
If someone has another tips to increase fps?
