 Usually if the fps doesn't change that would point to the system being CPU
limited, but since you have a good CPU - are you sure that Vertical Sync is off?

 Ok I spoke too soon - Monza w/above settings, 23AI 16vis, gfx on global
high (+full player), high res cockpit+cars, swaying trees off,
mirrors+motec disp on.
In a Qual session I average a pretty steady 42-48FPS. Starting a race
from 9th on the grid I had 22FPS, which went up to an avg of 38 as the
cars spread out.
TV view in-race shows high-30s to 70+.
I'm going to tweak a little more and see what I get. Pretty hard to
watch the FPS meter and drive (could let the AI handle it, but it may
affect the FPS by turning off FF or something).

 PS - you try getting on the little bit of old Monza banking yet ;)?

Hi

not with GTR, it needs a fast CPU more than a fast GPU.
I tested it with AF 4x, 8x and Performance and Quality setting!
Almost no difference!

 I think you only have the dash off - I set "Data Acquisition in Race"
to 0,.
The mirror setting is "Moving Rearview" - I figured it takes less
processing to not adjust the mirror view based on head position.
Alternate Pixel Center is one of the D3D compatibility settings on the
advanced display control panel.
I'd check the CPU arithmetic benchmark and the memory bandwidth
benchmark.
I'm going to try turning off AF - I doubt it'll make a huge difference,
and I'm worried the texture aliasing will bo horrible.

kendt,

Thanks for the info. I made the above adjustments to my .plr file and
it helped a little. However, I still don't see where the Alternate
Pixel Center adjustment is. Is it in the Game settings somewhere or in
ATI's control panel? Either way, I can't find it.

Thanks!

Bert

Thanks -- I found it now. I'm not sure if it makes any difference
though....
