Thanks for ruining my thread. Anyways, did anyone even try it? >.>

You're lucky. I spent 500 bucks on my rig XD

I'm getting a 9800GTX soon

Jesus...i didn't exspect you to have a $4000 computer. I guess 1000 is a lot for QuadSLi

But still, i made this thread to help people out.

What are your system specs?

Quote from white92talontsi :

no tweaks needed here
1920x1200 8xAA 16xAF

Haha, not possible, but good try.

I have to say already, the framerates are very different. I'm going to be testing it on my other computer soon.



2009-02-01 01:20:46 - LFS (Without tweak)
Frames: 6075 - Time: 33875ms - Avg: 118.287 - Min: 105 - Max: 128

2009-02-01 01:22:55 - LFS (With tweak)
Frames: 6075 - Time: 33969ms - Avg: 178.839 - Min: 149 - Max: 205

Quote from Shotglass :

great you might as well use no af at all
how to make games looks crap would be a more appropriate title

I didn't post this for "Awesome quality" i posted it for best performance. If i wanted quality, it would be completely different.

Sure thing.

** THIS ONLY WORKS WITH nVidia CARDS **

Hey guys. I've been looking around a lot and I've noticed that people are getting low frames on LFS. I figured I'd make a tutorial on how to get your framerates up!

I originally did this for World of Warcraft, and i had checked to see if it had increased my FPS on LFS...and with the 50frame increase, i have to say; i was blown away.

Here are my specs etc.
Processor:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5800+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory:
4024MB DDR2 Ram
Hard Drive:
500 GB
Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO

-------------------------
Everything on max, FULL AA/AF at 1440:900
-------------------------

I see around an average of 150 FPS!! and an average (while overclocked) 193!

Anyways, lets get on with the turorial.

First off, you're going to want to go download RivaTuner.

RivaTuner link: http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner

It is a simple program that will show you Temperatures and allow you to controll your Fanspeeds as well as overclocking tabs and other things.

After doing that, and installing, open up the program and head to Main/Driver settings and click the Customize button. Do not hit the Target Adapter Customize button. Click on the Direct Draw and Direct 3D settings and a window will pop up.

Now, you will be configuring things in the Mipmapping and Intellisample. On the Mipmap tab, turn your LOD Bios to around -0.5 and make sure only "Enable User Mipmap" is enabled. Now onto Intellisample. Enable Trilinear optimization and Enable Anisotropic mip and turn the Intellisample Settings to "High Performance"

Now for part 2 of the Increased Framerate turorial.

Head to the Main/Driver settings and click the Customize button again, and click the 3rd tab (OpenGL Settings)

Turn the Mipmap LOD to -0.5 and go to your Intellsample tab. Put the Intellisample Settings to High performance and check ALL 4 BOXES BELOW.
After that, you will see a HQ TLF and HP TLF, move the bar to High Performance TLF. Click the box on "Override Intellisample Texture Compression Controll" and put the Texture Compression mode to "Force on" and you're all set!

** You may want to go into your Nvidia Controll panel and edit some of the settings in there, but being every card is different, it is something you're going to have to mess around with **
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you see a decrease in performance, or don't like the changes (Whatever they may be) reset to default and try again with your own custom settings! Feel free to message me on Xfire or my email (which should be in my sig below ) Post your Befores and Afters of your framerates!

Good'ay and Happy racing!

Everytime i try and click a link it says "Forbidden" or the pic is smaller than a thumbnail. Seems like a nice pack; you mind fixing those pictures tho? I'd like to see what I'm downloading first

Quote from theirishnoob :

yours eyes see at 25-35 fps so thats the ideal fps...


15 would frustrate the life out of me.

also how do you manage to get it so low ??

even my 128 mb AGP carded p4 tower can run lfs at 40-60 fps.

I run everything max, Full AA/AF and 1400:900 screen size and i see max frames of 200, and minimum 50 (that was when i spawned literally 40 NPCs.)

May i ask, how are you getting 40-60 on a 128MB AGP card? What card is it anyways?

clan skin editable only by clan members
(www.xfire.com/clans/tptf/)

You have L33T paint skills.

Hmm so it seems like it might be kinda nice. And yes, the monitors are SUPER exspencive. But thats nice an issue

Anyone? :[

I just wanted to know if the nVidia 3d Vision would work with LFS. Driving in 3D would be amazing, and well worth the money for buying the 3D Vision product. I wonder what it would be like.

Here is a link to it: http://www.nvidia.com/object/GeForce_3D_Vision_Main.html

Also, if anyone HAS used it, please tell me what you think!

Whats the point in modding a car that isn't out? Or am i an idiot?

You tell me.

My first racing game was Test Drive on Ps1. Best racing game EVAR back then.

Still isn't working. Dunno what to do...

Sounds like the common problem of needing to do your port forwarding via your router - basically enter router setup and find relevent section on port forwarding and add your host port to the list - eg 65535 or whatever ports you are using (in your hosts cfg file)

Ill do it in the morning before i go to work. Thanks!

I need at least 2-3 skins for my new team. We are TeamD, i want out logo to be like Initial D, or have that on the skin.

I see skins like the ones in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGfO2k32JSA, that look very professional, and im hoping that maybe someone can make me one that is of that same type. I am willing to do ANYTHING to get a nice skin for my Team.

Please, message me for more details. Thanks
