I run at 35 fps. Smooth and steady. Also the impression of speed is very impressive. When the po stays below 100, the reaction of the controller and the speed-feel thing are in order. To benchmark changes I make in my system I use a partially saved race at Silverstone in the rain. Trackside cameras have 31 fps at the beginning steadying out to 37 fps once they get going. AA and AF are on app. preference.
So, what you are saying is, if I force 6x *antialiasing and 16x ^anisotropic filteriing, I will be able to maintain my 37 fps and the po will not slooooooow the game down? I'll try it out tonight and I 'll believe it when I see it.

I achieved my current performance after tweaking my bios. BTW x8 AGP probably won't make a difference. It doesn't really show in my performance. AGP aperture size might. I have mine set to 128 mb, which seems best.
