Thanks for your help! My system specs are: P4 1.6 ghz WinXP 256mb RAM GeForce 2 mx/mx400 64 mb 80 gb hard drive SoundBlaster Live! Value 9.6 patch installed I get 22 fps @1024 by 768. Haven't changed anything in graphics config since installation of game. I did, however, upgrade video driver to 30.82. Tried 40.92 and had troubles with other games.

Can anyone tell me what the trade off is for FPS vs PO? If you manually lower the FPS the load is taken off the PO. Visually I can tell the difference a heavy load on the PO causes. ie game slows down considerably, especially in heavy traffic areas, sky messages etc. What does a low FPS look like? Is it choppy? How does it affect playablity. I've tried experimenting lowering the FPS toby Jakie - Grand Prix 4
22 fps is all I'm getting. Just installed it out of the box and the game configured the recommended graphics etc. Have not done much more to it except install v9.6 patch. Currently running at 800 x 600. GP4 set this upon installation. I have to admit, I think I should be getting more as it appears some people are getting higher frame rates with less specification computers. I'm ruby Jakie - Grand Prix 4
I'm planning on updating my video driver (NVidia GeForce2 mx/mx400), probably to 30.82. (I hear this may be the most reliable). Installed 41.09 a while back and had troubles with other games, so I rolled back to original driver. After I do this, should I reinstall GP4? If not, do I at least recalibrate graphics?

I'm running Grand Prix 4 with all original teams, liveries etc. (ie. 2001 version) I would like to update to the 2003 season. Carshapes, liveries, new teams and drivers etc. Can anyone help me get started? Thanksby Jakie - Grand Prix 4
Why is it that the Processor Occupancy in practice is far less than that of a race, and what graphics adjustments can I make to compensate for this? (In other words, what can I live with and live without in the graphics options?) Seems particularly worse at Spa! (especially at the bus stop chicane and at the braking point to the first corner! Game runs as smooth as silk in practice, but start aby Jakie - Grand Prix 4
During a race, whenever an information graphic appears on screen (example: "Ralph Schumacher is in the pits" or "Riding with Jacques Villeneuve" the game slows down incredibly. As soon as the graphic disappears, the game speeds up again, almost as if it breaks free, and there is a surge of speed. This problem seems to be predominantly at Spa more so than any other track.
