Framerate in F12002

I have an AMD2200-512 ram- geforce 3 - Windows me - via 4 in 1's - tried various geforce drivers etc I am running at approximately 20 fps dipping to 15 at Spa. Is this normal for this game? The 3d setup says that I am getting 24 million triangles. Cheers all

Depends, is that when you are racing or testing? And if racing is that at the starting line or after the race is under way? Based on your triangle rate though I think there is something set up wrong, you should be getting higher numbers than that. Unfortunately my config is much different than yours so I doubt that I can help you. Check all the normal stuff.... make sure vsync is off in the control panel, try it with FSAA off, and in the graphics setup for F1 2002 if any of the detail level descriptions are colored red turn them down. I doubt that the latter is the problem since your triangle rate just sounds too low for your config, but check anyway.

AMD1600XP-512RAM-GF4 Ti 4400 (30.82) - WinXP - NO VIA. I get 36.8M triangles in 3d set-up for 1280x1024x32-bit with NO FSAA. Start of race with full field and back of the pack I get 30-35 fps, during the race it's in the hi 40's to hi 50's depending on traffic. I used to get a stutter near the S/F line of many tracks but that's gone with the 30.82's. -- Joe M.

I get 24 million with a GF3 ti 200 and an AMD xp 1800+ @ 1024x768. so I think you should be able to do better. I have the Detonator 40.72's. If you have the Omega drivers, those sacrifice speed for graphic quality. turn off fsaa and make sure the Vsync is disabled, you'll need coolbits or rivatuner to do that. good luck. dave henrie ":-)" <Nomorespam> wrote in message news:3dcc3f67$0$13369$[email hidden]...

Here' how I get better FPS: Kill FSAA Kill Shadows Use Nose view hence... Kill Cockpit anim (mirrors & wheel) Race On-line fewer cars=Better FPS Use LOW for FF, 0= no effect on FPS (Best rate) Low = -10, Medium = -20 Full = -30 (These last figures may be a little exagerated ( it's more in 0-20 range)) ":-)" <Nomorespam> wrote in message news:3dcc3f67$0$13369$[email hidden]...

I think the GF3 is the limitation on your system. Try reducing Shadows to Medium - they are real fps-killers, and make shure fsaa is turned off. --- ":-)" <Nomorespam> wrote in message news:3dcc3f67$0$13369$[email hidden]...

So, basically you're a stick-man driving a vector-drawn race car :) -Larry "Eden" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9Ftz9.1020$[email hidden]...
