FPS Problems
All,

I just troubleshot some of my own FPS issues and I thought I'd share my solution.

P4 2.4
1.5 GB RAM
Nvidia 6600 GT 128MB

I am running 1600x1000 16bit but I turned down many of the effects (mirrors off, LOD, trees, flags, etc). When I start the game I would get 120 fps but before I finished a lap it would be down to 40. It would stay at 40 from then on out and if I added 2 AI cars it would drop to 20.

I installed speedfan on my machine and noticed the CPU was at 82C. I took my heatsink/fan out of the machine and noticed that there was a think layer of dust between the heatsink and the fan. The thermal grease was basically rubber.

Cleaned the sink/fan/chip, put some new grease on there and now I am running 60C and constant 120 fps with one car.

I might even turn my mirrors back on!

HTH
If you read this forum carefully, you would notice that this is very common problem which has been discused here many times...
skimmed through your post and noticed you mentioned 40fps a couple of times, sounds like vsync is turned on. i might be wrong though, sorry if i am. im only human, after all. although i do like pie. pie is the way to go.

Have you ever had a sweet sweet taco-pie? Dude, it's the best, im telling you.
