Here's my system setup:
AMD Duron 900 w/512MB RAM
BFG Asylum GeForce FX5200 Ultra (128MB RAM)
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
20 GB HDD
Whenever I try to run N2K3 in Direct3D, I get all kinds of weird
flickering and flashing once I get into the main event screens -
OpenGL runs fine.
What could the problem be, and should I care?
TIA,
Bob

It disables the animated backgrounds in the menus.
You need to add it to the "Target" line in your NR2003 shotcut's properties,
like so:
"F:\NASCAR Racing 2003 Season\NR2003.exe" -freezeanims

Why not just run what works? I run Open gl, it is usually more FPS...
ti4600 128, is my card. anywho, might see if there is a vertical sync
setting in direct x? I don't know.

Update: Turns out, antialiasing in Direct3D was the culprit. I was
trying to use the "Quincunx" setting in CFS3, and got the same kind of
garbled screens as I was getting in N2K3. When I turned the D3D
antialiasing to "Application," the CFS3 problem went away....I
thought, "hmmm..." and, sure enough, the N2K3 problem was gone too!
Even so, I think I'm gonna take Mitch Wing's suggestion and just run
in Open GL...works better! :)
Thanks
