wow, i hate compputers.. Im trying to get this card working (geforce fx5500 256mb agp) and ive got the drivers and everything installed but its not working, and it says in the device manager 'the device cannot find any free input/output resources to use' Can anyne help me possibly quickly.


I have agp 2.0 and it says it works fine with it, I know its supposed to even on the nvidia site it said it should work. I dont know what i/o device its talking about. pleease help

well I see now that I have an agp slot.. its 4x though but I guess any card will still work with it. Going to get an agp card today not sure which one but Ill see whats under 60 bucks.

Resetting the car gets you dq'ed in most leagues anyways.

W.Gooden, what's your processor speed? Not the fastest if I remember correctly. On my P4 2.5 I went from onboard to 256 mb PCI and it didn't get me ANY frame rate increase. But what it did was give me no difference between minimum graphics settings to maximum graphics settings. Before the gfx card, I had to run minimum settings and in wheels view with 35-45 FPS. Cockpit view would drop me to 10-15, unplayable. Now I maxed the settings and am back in cockpit view, but still get 35-45 FPS. If I minimize graphics, even dropping resolution and color to 800x600x16, I get no increase, so it's now my processor bottlenecking the system. My point, if you are running OK with a crappy looking game because you are at minimum settings, then the gfx card would help to run it looking better. But it won't be an "OMG, this is so fantastic change!"

hmm its an athlon that runs alittle above 1ghz.. its about 5 years old lol. My fps are similar to yours.. I always use no mirrors, and every thing on its lowest settings. Although offline my fps are alot better.

click any laptime on the charts and it downloads.

I only have PCI for now until I get my new pc.. so would I see an improvement going from a geforce2mx 32mb to the 128mb fx5500 ?

Cool, as long as the races start earlier then 10.

I think I'd be cool to have an option to upload your setup along with the replay when you do a hotlap. Im sure this has been suggested though..

Well, are we using the rotax preset modoff posted, that one is fun. Also what track are we running..

yeah, I'm assuming he meant xfr + ufr.



actually its confusing, cause on the main page it says
Race Event 3: UF 1000 - Aston National

I wanna race in a league like that, damn

century gothic..

dunno why, I just always use it for aim and msn.

Was this a joke?

Me and modoff would run it for sure, why dont you make another date because we didn't know about this one. Also it would be neat to run the two classes.. maybe rotax and shifter. I had my first race of the year was over christmas break.

Yeah the prices are going down on dfp which is great, in any store they're selling them for 119 now so if you dont want to get them online and save shipping, its a good deal.

thats really nice Any chance of an aplinestars suit?

buckmore park karting track in england

That song only works on straight roads
And I would imagine if you had Harley Davidson (or some other custom motorbike) and you would turn to a straight desert road in America that song would start to play.. out of thin air

lol, true dat.

I cant run this, lol my fps are so bad with all the objects.. it sucks.

:ices_rofl funnny thread im sure noone was laughing liek i was LOLLOLPL

Well I just saw this video and it's awesome. The music goes well with it also.. would have been 100 times better then any rage against the machine or rammstein.

It is possible, if you have a dfp go into the profiler and assign the directional pad for up down left right, and the four bottom buttons for f9-f12. So while driving you can hit the button then scroll down and change the brake bias, arb, or pit settings right front the wheel without having to take your hands off.
