I t started when I forced 4x aa and 16x af. The game looks totally awesome but the screen, in GP4 ONLY, has moved to the right. This means eg. that gpx data on speed, revs, gear etc are not fully visible and I have a black strip on the left side. I tried compensating with my monitor alignment, but it has no effect.

But I don't want to turn it off, please don't make me!hot

I am using 4x aa and 16x af and on any other game I have tried this knocks 20-30 fps off performance 8in F1C it's 30 fps).

For once GP4 works miraculously (did I spell that right?). I have had no hit in fps as a result. I am running the game at 1280x1024 everything on max except video screens off. The cars look better than F1C, no saw edges and the blurriness is gone from the car graphics AND it has had NO noticeable effect on FPS, still a steady 35 fps even on trackside with a full grid. Why would I turn it off? I can live with the screen being slightly off-centre- but I'd like to fix it if I can.

Does anyone have René's e-mail?. His website is "restricted at this moment".

I got exactly the same problem with my GF2 and 800*600*16 setting. I have the gpx info at the top so i'm not bothered. But it's kinda strange...

did you try shifting the monitor over to the left? just a few inches should do it.

You can also try turning down your refresh rate.I've had it happen when I set the refresh rate at 75 in the ATi controlpanel,turned it down to 72 and it was fine.But I m not using AA or Af yet,I have to wait until I get my new soundcard so I can use my wheel again.I need the gameport.Seems that the Nforce2 boards cause a conflict with the gameport on soundcards.
