Hey,
My Comp is a:
AMD Duron 700,
ATi 8500LE (7.74 drivers)
VideoLogic SonicFury (TurtleBeach SantaCruz (4112 drivers))
EPoX 8KTA+ MoBo (Via KT133 chipset)
WinXP
The autocalibirate settings on GP4 (with Hardware 2D and 3D sound) yield 1024x768x32 at 14fps with all the lowest settings (bar the car geom being medium.)
Strange thing is tho', 640x480x16 with all the lowest settings is still 14fps.
I can increase the the performace to 16fps max, by turning OFF 3DHardware sound support, but leaving on 2D Hardware sound...
My CPU may be a bottleneck - but surely not that much?
Help would be appriecated...
BTW, I have no programs running in the background.
