Not played for a while but I used to be able to play SP with a full grid with no problems.
Now, even with a 12 car grid the game is unplayable.
I've read other posts regarding this and the advice has been to upgrade the processor.
Well I've just put an AMD X2 6000 in my rig so I dont think this would be the case here.
Besides my Single Core 3800 used to be fine.

If I take to the track myself I get 80-90 fps but with the 12 man AI grid it drops below 10.
Online races don't seem to be effected anywhere near as much as AI races.

Rig Spec
AMD X2 6000
2 GB RAM
256 mb ATI 1800XT
X-Fi xtreme Ganer Sound card
Vista Home Premium


I've just done a test to see the useage of my RAM and cpu cores.
Had a 19 car AI grid.
At start both cores were around 50% usage, RAM was at 53%.
FPS was below 2

I know 20 man is extreme but I thought if anything was going to overload my system it would be a full grid.

Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

Thanks for any help

ahh ok thanks Becky, thought it was something I was missing in game

And I can't make my game look half as pretty. Running at as a high a resolution as I can and all the detail levels look to be maxed.
Is there something I'm missing?
I'm sure I've seen people talking about Anti Aliasing but I can't see a setting for that anywhere.
Any help appreicated

cheers

Is it common for my tyres to have past their best after 4 or 5 laps?
Seems if the race is longer than 5 laps on BL GP i'm going to need a few pit stops at the moment
