SCGT and N3 plus GE Force = No Benefit

I have a PIII-450 (sometimes overclocked to 600) with an ASUS Ge Force 6800 Deluxe running 3.88, 5.08 and 5.13 drivers (I have tried each of these). What I have found is that Nascar 3 works a bit better with 5.13 (as does SCGT I think) but NFS Porsche Unlimited works best on 5.08. Having said that, my old Voodoo2 8 meg card worked better in Nascar 3 and at least as well in SCGT so am I doing something wrong here? Should I see a big framerate improvement going from V2 to GE Force in SCGT and Nascar 3? Any help is appreciated. Scott Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Scott, I also have a geforce and voodoo 2 video card combination, but with a P-600. I'd also say that the voodoo2 graphics are much better than the geforce D3D graphics in scgt and N3. Frame rates are always about 30fps with either card in N3. I also felt ( never checked it) that geforce provided faster FPS in scgt, ,so I'd guess your system will also be max'ed with either card, and not reflect much fps difference.

Sadly my FPS in Nascar 3 in 1024 x 768 in the first half lap at Talladega (all graphics on, 20 opponents ahead, 5 behind) are around 15 with the GE Force. SCGT is similar (although it drops down as low as 10 or 12 in the first corner slow down).

Something isn't right. I don't have the geforce, I have never owned an Nvidia product, but the Gee 'should' be able to produce much higher numbers than that with the d3d option. Is the D3d portion of N3 really that bad? or are you using the software only mode...that is the only explanation I can think of. dave henrie Hombre wrote:
