FWIW, My DirectX7 findings...

In GPL I noted down all my settings then measured framerates at 800x600 and 1024x768 mid grid then rear of grid at Zandy getting before and after readings of FPS. To cut a long story short, there is effectively no difference. There -might- be about 0.5 fps drop at 1024x768. Only messed around long enough to get the fps figures so can't say for sure if there were any controller problems but I didn't notice anything in the short time I tried. I use Direct Input. Had no probs with SCGT so far and as I type my wife is playing Midtown Madness without a hitch. If you're interested the Unreal Tournament demo is fine, too. That's all I've tried as yet. System: PIII450, 128Mb, V3 3000, SBLive Value Cheers, Mark Reading, UK Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

These things are so system dependent, I get an average 3 fps hit with DX7.
