EA NSR Demo - Graphics Question

I have an Athlon 2600 system with a Radeon 9700 Pro. Although I set my
game resolution to 800x600 16 bit (the minimum choice), and lowered many
of my graphics settings in-game, my opening framerate at the start of a
race (at Kansas -- haven't tried Indy yet) is a miserable 27. It hovers
in the mid to low 30's after that.

I figure that I must have some setting wrong. I'd be curious to learn
what settings someone with a similar system to mine is using and what
type of frame rates they're getting.

Two more things -- I'm not sure if the 3Dconfig thing is working
properly. Before I first ran the demo, I ran thru 3Dconfig OK. It
showed the triangles at 50M at a resolution of 1024x768 16 bit. When I
saw how bad the framerate was, I re-ran it at 800x16 16 bit, but the
"Analyze" feature didn't come up with a result - Zero triangles. So
maybe I _am_ still running at 1024x768 -- who knows?

Finally, is there an in-game setting where you can choose whether to
runn AA and/or AF graphic settings?

Thanks!

Athlon 3000, 9800 Pro

1024x760 32 bit, 4x AA, 8x AF, 70 fps theres something definately wrong
with yours
