Turn AA on in the CP, and off in game, and see if you can make it do this too

My spelling aint that too crash hot either!!

So with the pic, how is that different to what it should look like? I have AA on in game and set to "application Pref" in CP and it looks like that also.

can you see the green neons through your car?

Warpy · Nov 22, 2004, 04:17 AM

lol I didnt see that! Sorry! Nope I dont have neons buddy:

heh 15 fps, simular to mine, cept i play at 1024x768 cause of refresh-rate reasons...
at 30fps

pr0digal jenius · Nov 22, 2004, 06:09 PM

lol...15fps is the low points....with max gfx at 1600x1200 it runs aroudn 20ish, or 28ish at 1280x1024

Powercolour · Nov 22, 2004, 08:33 PM

heres one of me driving wrecklessly at a really low fps

zamac_man · Nov 23, 2004, 04:14 PM

So am I not the only person who has problems with the fps dropping? I can't get mine to stay above 30

pr0digal jenius · Nov 23, 2004, 06:44 PM

try running at 1024x768 first of all
secondly, turn antialiasing all the way off, and turn world detail way down.
if that still isnt enough, turn car geometry down a bit

hope that helps...this game is fairly demanding...but to be honest...a constant 20fps looks fine to me...it's just the sudden drops tand incosistancies that make it look bad, unlike an online shooter, where you need 60fps...lol

Powercolour · Nov 23, 2004, 10:19 PM

i think all 3 of us had our settings maxed, if u can't achieve acceptable fps, then lower settings....
Btw, wats ur comp stats ( i hope ur settings were maxed when u say u can't get past 30)

I have a 2.4c and 9500 pro with 512mb ram. It will get above 30 like it will go up to around 60 but at times its like at 17. It mainly goes down when I am racing in like circuit, street x, etc not just driving around the map.

Warpy · Nov 24, 2004, 02:56 AM

Well i have no issues with fps, but I run the game at 1024x768. With full detail and 2AA 8AF it runs around 65fps.

SkyBum · Nov 24, 2004, 03:24 AM

Strange thing for me is that if I raise OR lower the detail level in the games basic video settings it always sets AA to full. Only way I can avoid this is to make sure that I only make changes in advanced settings as ANY changes in basic settings will turn on AA and my framerate goes all to hell.

I was initially getting pretty incredible performance for a XP1800+ / 8500DV 64/ 1gb DDR / running almost highest settings at 1280x1024 (except for AA, and MBlur & Trails which I don't like anyway) but the last few days I find I'm having to reduce detail/textures to get acceptable FPS. Could this have anything to do with the extra textures from all the car mods? Just a thought, I can't think why else my FPS suddenly went to hell....

EDIT: how are you guys checking framerates?
