Try the Dual-core optimizer or the amd cpuinfo utilities, then press ctrl+alt+del and look at the performance tab, and then see if it shows both cores.

Performance

As you know, GTR2 is not computer friendly... Are there anyway of boosting how my computer runs GTR2. I want free ways, not going out and buying new hardware I currently have...

3.6 Processer.
512 RAM (Getting More Soon)
Radeon X600 Graphics Card
PCIe Motherboard
10,000 Score On MadOnion Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

WHAT CAN I DO???

Attila Domján · Feb 8, 2007

Get more RAM, i run smoothly with 1600*1200 on weaker proci and Vid Card, just i have 1 G Ram

My processor is 3.2 GHz and vid card is 9800 XT

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 8, 2007

128 RM videocard should be enough to run GTR2, i dont know how much your card holds? the RAM memory you have now is the minimum requirement for GTR2 at the moment, so i think when you put hte graphs on low you should be able to run the game

good luck

Good thing that boosts GTR2 a little is lowering amount of visible cars on track. When I got it on max, even 7600gs with 256mb and 1gb ram aren't enough and game doesn't run smoothly. After lowering visible cars to 10-15 (but all the graphics to the max) game runs almost fine - there are only few stuttering moments.

MrMystic · Feb 14, 2007

hmm got another problem

I copied the latest BIOS from my manufacturer website and copied it to a Floppy Disk. (Was instructed to do so)
Now when I follow the procedures (boot with the disk inserted) I get a MSDOS message:
Please remove floppy out of drive
Press any key to continue

Anyone have an idea to solve this? :?

Rick Klomp · Feb 14, 2007

maby u need to go to ure bios end dhere install

bud updating ure bios drivers is verry scary bekase when i fails ure pc is f..kt up end maybe not reparible dhen soo if u do dhis its at ure own risk NOT MINE

MrMystic · Feb 14, 2007

yeah I know is riskfull, but I have to do this because of the X2 compatibility. And off course it's on my own risk

Multi-screen cockpit. Multi-videocard?

I found this over NoGrip webiste, it is like a dream cockpit, unfortunately not mine.... lol

Does anyone know how you can set up a multi screen like this? You need 3 video cards or what, where you plug all those monitors, how it can be set in the game that it shows the picture like this....? sorry for stupid questions, but i am a noob for this...

MrMystic · Feb 20, 2007

woow nice... that's my setup you know

No no, just jokin'...
I do think you need at least 2 graphic cards. You might have noticed on the newer graphic cards that they have 2 DVI-outs. So i think 2 graphic cards is a must.
To let it work: I do know that in Vista is an option to put a second screen next to your original, but I never tried it.
To let it work on 3 screens, you have to adjust some setting in game and in windows, that's my guess.

Btw: The case on the pic is same as mine but in silver

Peter Meijer · Feb 20, 2007

:o ****!!! I'm very jealous...

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 20, 2007

Yes, thats an amazing setup that guy as on the attick! But what i notice (offtopic) is his G25 wheel. The wheel it self is much thicker then the standard one, or is this just optic?

MrMystic · Feb 20, 2007

think it's the optical illusion, the black on black you know... or he must have it costum made

Attila Domján · Feb 20, 2007

oki, here it is, you dont need 3 video card, just this, but i donno what price could be...

Attila Domján · Feb 20, 2007

yo, got the price, 250 Eur without tax and delivery... like my G25... jeeez....
oh, and it is not inlcuding the monitors of course, just this adapter itself...

plus you need one hell of a video card to handle it.....
ok, at least i know now... loooool
