I think the card is broken and its not realted to PSU problems.
Are you using Vista or WindowsXP?NVIDIA still has a lot of problems with drivers in Vista.

LFS even didnt use the pixels shaders in GPU and use very limited the vertex shaders so the 8800 series dont juice so much energy.I have 7900GT at 550/1600 and while in other games it can go close to 75 degree in LFS it get just to 58 so it means there is no much heat = WAT ussage is very low.

I am going oof topic but you guys want S3 and DX10 even the current LFs is just DX8 and not even DX8.1 or DX9.Scawen wil have to do a lot of research for S3 updated 3D engine but i think DX9 is where he has to start.

except the missing shadows under the more then 8 cars it looks nice.I bet it has to be interesting races.

:doh: I have had turned on full resolution car&helmet skins and not the compressed version.

EDITED:
The link has now 2 versions.Once the not compressed files(512,1024,2048) and once when the compressed options is tunred on in LFS(512,1024,2048).

I made one comparing 512,1024 and 2048.

The difference between the 512 and 1024 is huge but the 1024 to 2048 is small.4096 would be ihmo useless and I took the cars from quite close (extreme close)views.

Please use pictures from the link.I wasnt able to upload this files here.

BUG report in W21: when pressing LEAVE button LFS shutdown to desktop

Just has been on the 24H test server and when I press ESC to see the menu and then press LEAVE button LFS shutdown to desktop.I would be expecting just to leave the server and not quit LFS.Tested 3 times and always the same result.

Quote from CSU1 :

entertainaing reply lol , define 'flat'?(just curious)

ITS JUST NOT FUNNY

Quote from CSU1 :

and annoying mad Irish humour that the resy of the EU seems not to have gotten yet

sorry but the UK(Irish,Scottish,Welsh etc.) humour is very flat to be honest.Dont take it personally but I work for company where I spend a lot of time on the phone,messanger and emails and the jokes I see from UK guys are really boring.Still the people are very nice and helpfull persons

withouth taxes and coverted to US dollars its around 370dollars.
When converted for europe then its 328 Euros included taxes.

And you created another one . just kidding.Its good if people look sometimes back what they did and realize that it might be wrong

thats a pretty good idea about warning with HDD space.
Just checked the DDS converted folder and it added almost 500MB:eek: .

Not that I wouldnt have another space left but you never know for some people.

Quote from Barroso :

hasn't anyone seen where this is going? dds textures will save memory, wich means we can possibly have more cars on track later on.

if you think that texture size is holding the number of the cars you are totally wrong.Think about it once more.3D engine,car physic etc.Its not mainly about textures size which with hires track textures still fit 3/4 into 128MB memory.

ok.I am the one who rely a lot on how the graphic looks and I have tried difference between the 2048*2048 and 4096*4096 but to be honest there is almost none if you dont look at skin on car from like 20 centimeters in LFS.Come on... 4096*4096 is too much even for nice screenshots.

During the racing I cant notice different between the 1024 or 2048 version.

Regarding the track textures 4096 would be problem with some older graphic cards which just support 2048 texture resolution.Everything higher would be taxing them a lot and the file size for all higher(4096) textures would be insane.

Hopefully with the upcoming updates from Eric will give us an option to download higher version of textures alone with the standard resolution.I am hoping for the improvement mapping of the textures on the track too.Sometimes its a pain in the a** how its done now.Make it very complicated for modding the textures later.

but the picture doesnt prove anything.I heard he was using very old drivers as he couldnt get to the newest one.Maybe he wanted due to this crew the reputation of ATI.I really dont know.Lest really wait for the 14&15th May when NDA end.

Quote from Dennisjr13 :

Here is a review, supposedly ATI's flagship card can't even keep up with the 8800GTX that came out like 6 months ago. They need to "step up their game" if they want to stay in business. I guess they are putting most of their money on their midrange cards outselling NVIDIA's for their price to performance ratio.

Thats probably fake one.
ASUS will be selling 2900XT together with Stalker.Why they would did that knowing the card cant even play it in decend way.I think they would make troubles themself and putting bad reputation.

If its true then it shows rather the drivers arent finished as sometimes the card is faster then 8800GTX and then sometimes a bit slower then 8800GTS 640MB.

At leats this card is good because it brings competition and NVIDIA will have to go with the prices a much lowert then now.

Lets wait for the 14/15th May when NDA end.

and he we go with tail-gating

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pnJmtOdFLc

this size is pretty normal nowdays for highend cards.

To be honest this is awfull.I have been just watching in my job and got really shocked.I know the life is not a fairy tale but come on.

I think there is better way for goverment to spent the money on then this movie.

If anyone interested in 2900XT:

Pricing around 335-365euros.

Ok.
To understand better.With which PC spec you have problems.Please dont mix 2 things together because its hard to understand where the problem really is.

Windows has already some generic drivers for most of the graphic cards.

try to connect your PC from Wireless router with cable instead of
WIFI.Test it and you can narrow where the problem is.I would definately test connecting PC to net hardwire.

You have posted in wrong section.Moderators please move this thread to Technical assistance.

What your m8 was doing with you internet setting?
What you meany exactly with internet setting?Hardware or software?

haha nice one Victor but tell about the pixels Scawen so we can have LFS as nice screenshot generator .

Ok back to the topic.
Madman_CZ it think the Kabat is much better then to have 60years old Vondrackova with her silicon tits .I am gald they didnt choose her.Dont you think .

BUG report: random OOS in replay with wheel view

I have tested 20AIs on Kyoto ring and saved replay.After trying to play it I get random OOS only in wheel view no matter which AI I choosed.Sometimes after a half of lap, sometimes after a few seconds.Its really random and I cant find a pattern in this OOS bug.

Please see attached replay.Sorry for the ZIP but the replay was over 6MB in original size.
