DTR framerate?

Hey does this game take some hardware or what. I have a P2 450 with 128 megs, V3 3000 and this demo really needs every bit of it to get the framerate going. I found I needed to turn down graphic options and lower cars to get it smooth and even then it hiccups once in a while. I was having a blast racing with just one other car and putting the AI at 52. Very even races where it could go either way. I was just using default setup.

I haven't played the demo that long but the framerate was perfect. And all I own is a TNT1. Sjoerd

I think you've got something else going on there BigB. I have a P2400 with 128meg and a V2 and TNT1. Nothing I did option-wise, including running 1024x768 on the TNT with max cars (15?) substantially impacted the frame rate. Same with the V2, but the res on that is capped at 800x600. This is pretty subjective, since I haven't even noticed if there was a frame rate counter. The game is liquid smooth, so it must be staying near or above 30fps. The only thing I didn't try was 32 bit color on the TNT. Tim

I have celeron 466Mhz, 128 Mb and voodoo2 SLI. Very smooth. Res 1024*768. All options hi.

No framerate problems here with everything cranked up to the max on my PII-300, 64 MB RAM, Viper V550 TNT card and Logitech Wingman Formula Force USB wheel. Smooth as silk at 1280 x 1024 with 32 bit colour. Jason >Hey does this game take some hardware or what.

do you have the newest drivers for you VooDoo? I've heard of some others with the same problem. Possibly the new dirextX 7.0 drivers will help if you're willing to install directX 7. btw. I'm running a PII 400 128MB and just a banshee and still getting good rates. -- the friendly pysco -I know it's spelled wrong but I'm not a psycho ;-) -Early bird gets the worm, second mouse gets the cheese

Then in that case you appear to have a problem somewhere. I'm using a Celeron PII oc to 450, 128M RAM, 16M V3 card and this things runs as smoooooth as silk with ALL graphics, ALL cars, in 1024 x 768 without a stutter. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Bruce, I figured it out. The original driver update with supposed drivers was bad. I got the correct one and hopefully all will be right with the world. > Then in that case you appear to have a problem somewhere. > I'm using a Celeron PII oc to 450, 128M RAM, 16M V3 card and this things > runs as smoooooth as silk with ALL graphics, ALL cars, in 1024 x 768 without

Hey I know there's loads of replies but just to prove the point - my system is a P1 233 with 32 megs and a voodoo1 and I get pretty high framerates (high 20s I'd guesstimate) with 9 AIs all the time except the start.... definitely something up with your system. Steve
