I play CFS3 all the time, and after tweaking my system it looks better than ever. Now I'm getting about 18-20fps on average with sliders set to 4 Aircraft, 4 Terrain, 3 Scenery, 2 Effects, 2 Clouds at 800X600 res. Once I get this I finally sort out the mess of the faulty video car I bougnt, I going to crank the sliders up to full. ;D (BTW the above settings are with a 64meg Geforce2 MX400, 950mhz Duron, 512mb sdram)
Also where can I find Ramsas tweaks? those helped me so much I dont know what ill do withput em.
Although they can't compair to what Ramsa can do, try Riva Tuner for Nvidia cards, available at guru3d.com (I'm not running an ad campaign for them, its just such a great program.)
