yeah no race at night but the comment was made about never seeing a black sky... OK. very dark gray clouds then. Spose it never rains where you live anyway...

the 1.7 ghz pentium (and 1.9 and possibly earlier ones) has a smaller cache than all pentium 4's. GF4 MX - comparable to a GeForce 2 Ultra. Not a worthwhile investment sorry, even if it was a 440 or 460 type. if you ran XP i wouldn't think 256 meg of ram is worth it, and if you have a pentium 4 unless you have ddr 266 or better, or rambus ram - your pentium 4 runs more like an old pentium 3.

what games? give examples. back up your comments with some evidence so we all don't just think your saying things to get a rise from people.

the brightness in the gp4 graphics need to be dulled a bit. rain drops look cool but....

damn the sky is gray as well... i should have taken screenshots of my pouring with rain, blue sky qualifying session...

Thats one thing ive noticed with games... when its raning in the game they dont reduce the amount of light. When you watch F1 on the telly everything go very very dark, GP4 and co. keep the same light level.

"yeah no race at night but the comment was made about never seeing a black sky... OK. very dark gray clouds then. Spose it never rains where you live anyway..."

er, no, it wasnt actaully

you asked why the sky wasnt black when it rained - and we answered - cos rain clouds arent black, and u said

""So you don't go outside at night then? I see black clouds overhead quite often in storms. Black / Gray skies when raining then...""

well F1 aitn at night - therefore GP4 is correct, and you are talking out your arse

As you can see, most of those games are very hardware hungary, yet i run them all full blast.




Racing Is Life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting
Jesus may be able to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, but he can't do shît for low fps

GP1 actually, when behind a car, made everything kinda grey and harder to see, when you were in the 'spray' of another car... which was cool. However I don't think things need to be a whole lot darker just because there are clouds in the sky! Clouds make it rain and a TAD darker, but the whole screen shouldn't be made darker, as we are not racing at night, we still have the sun shining[and it wouldbe night if the sun's light didn't make it through the clouds]

I know what your saying, and ive come to the conclusion getting this realistic in games will be hard. When it rains in real life sometimes it stays bright, but other times it goes dark. Simulating this in a game would be very difficult, and really the feature - although it would look nice - wouldnt really add anything to the game.
