I'm having a graphics card issue with Z9 and now Z10. Patch Z works fine but when I use patch Z9 or Z10(And I assume Z3+) I get a "IRQL Less or not equal" error. I'm using the latest drivers also.
I'm going to update my XP install with the latest service pack and see if that helps.
The graphics cards are two EVGA 9800gt's in SLI if that means anything.
It's to bad not all new "muscle cars" have good handling.. Like that boat with wheels they call the challenger bleh.. They couldnt even make it good looking.

Phenom x4 at 2.3ghz
Asrock 780sliX3 mobo
4gb ram
1.5tb HDD
750w psu.
22" monitor at 1650x1080 (I'm going to be running two pretty soon)
And windows xp 32bit.
I'm running full on graphics on LFS with 8x AA and 16x AF E: I guess I should also mention I'm running patch Z Have not upgraded to Z9 yet.
I just ran a full AI GTR race about 7 of each car. I have about 15fps when the light turns green. and it averages out to about 20 hitting highs of 60 and lows of 8 at a few spots during the lap.
It just seems a bit low to me. It might not be but since this is my first decent computer build I'm not sure what I should expect.
While playing online I get anywhere from 60-170 fps depending on the amount of connections.
You can't compare a full throttle pass down a drag strip in a 6000hp car and someone driving an F1 car around a track at a slow to moderate pace at best...
I think leaving race 1 alone and adding XFG+XRG to race 2 would be a great idea. It would let the copper+bronze drivers have a better chance of scoring points and give cleaner races to the silver+ drivers on race two. I'm sure it would also increase TBO activity on race 2.
I think I might just buy those pedals and keep my dfp wheel. I dont think the fanatec wheel has enough buttons :P my dfp doesnt even have enough unfortunately
