As a newly converted nvidiot (just got a [email hidden], P4C800-E, 9800 non-pro
converted to a pro @ 425/375) I am slowly figuring out the ATI way of doing
things. Sometime Friday evening I was able to maintain 40-45 fps while
sitting at the end of pit road at dover at 1600x1200x32, 6xAA, blah blah
blah, Direct3D, all video options maxed except for the 2 specular lighting
options unchecked and the solar glare unchecked.
Now after accidently loading a different profile in rage3dtweak, for the
life of me I cannot get it to hit 40 while sitting in the same place.
Now granted there are "thousands of different video option combinations" and
such (to quote a previous video card tweaking NR2003 thread here), but I'm
just curious how you guys with 9800's have your Rage3dTweak D3D profile set
up. Or better yet, email me your profile or something :-)
Thanks in advance, and I'm gonna keep tweaking.
I have a 9700 but the settings will basically be the same. I have a
Pentium 4 overclocked slightly to 2.88. I too keep the specular thing
and the track shadows off. I have found that if you have the res at
1200x1600 you really don't need the AA or AF turned on. If you do a
little testing you will find that the image will look the same at
1200x1600 with no aa or af or at 1024x768 with 4x aa and 8x af on. I
run N2003 on an LCD projector and run at 1024x768 with 4aa and 8ff and
the image is great with no jaggies and framerates rangings from around
50 to 100 fps depending on how many cars are on the track ,etc. Hope
this helps Steve P

I run at 1024x768 with 4xFSAA and 8 AF and get better frame rates than
turning up the res and dropping the FSAA and AF. I am only running an AMD
2100XP so that probably the reason behind it.
