HI
I just upgraded to win XP home this past week from win ME
i have an AMD 1ghz, 768 mb sdram, ATI 9600 PRO using 3.10 Omega catalysts
now before i upgraded to win XP,i was getting around 50-60 PO at 23 fps,with custom graphics settings (cant remember all the individual settings off hand)
i was using 4x AA and 8X AF..and everything was running fine in the game ,well except at race starts at the back of the grid.overall i was happy with the performance (speed wise) of my game.
but i upgraded to winXP and all of that performance seems to have disappeared
i should mention- i had 2 hard drives,and i have GP4 installed on the slave drive.
when using win ME,both master and slave drives were in FAT32 format
when i upgraded to XP,i formatted my master drive in NTSF ,but the slave drive (where GP4 is installed) is still FAT32. could that have made any difference??
im still using the same 3.10 Omegas,exact same graphics settings (for GP4 and my gfx card)
but now when i go in for a practice session,my PO is around 150
well it keeps changing from 90 to 150 very quickly.
but overall its impossible to drive with such a tremendous slow down
does anyone know any working fix around this...or what couldve caused this?? i tried running GP4.exe in compatibility mode for WIN ME but even that didnt solve the problem
i turned off AA on my gfx card setting,and even that didnt change the PO
im at a complete loss guys...any advice would be useful.i cant revert back to win ME now,so i really hope someone has any tips for me,because i definitely do not want to stop enjoying this great game
thanks in advance guys
