Hi, I am running the game with an Ati Radeon 9500 Pro and when I choose OpenGL I get great frame rate 80fps+ most of the time, then I go around a corner, at say Watkins Glen, and the frame rate just tumbles! Goes to like 20fps! I run 4X AA and 2XAF. So, I switch to D3D and I get slightly less framerate, but it's solid and never bottoms. Anyone having this similar problem? I guess it doesn't matter, but OpenGL seems so much faster untill these issues come up, I noticed it in the demo as well. This new game is incredible! The cars feel SO much better, especialy on the road courses, they have really inproved the overall feel of speed in the game as well. I kept 2002 on my drive for now, but I don't think that will last very long....... One other thing, how do I join the RASCAR league?? What's involved and is there a website or something? Joe
The ATI cards are much better suited for D3D than OpenGL. OpenGL is better suited for Nvidia cards. IMO once you get above 40fps a steady frame rate is more important than a higher peak. I love my 9700 pro in D3D and was than thrilled with it in OpenGL. MadDAWG

I have read that there is a problem with the sun glare and ogl. turn that off and it may help the problem. Mike mls67 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.445 / Virus Database: 250 - Release Date: 1/21/2003
