Hello,

I too have CFS3 and also have had nothing but problems with the video. I have done quite a bit of tweaking and reading up on the problem and from what I have read on the Microsoft website is that the game is flawed. There will be a free product upgrade coming out just after x-mas to correct most of the games problems. The main problem is that the game was written to use Direct X 9.xx Video Driver software, which has not been released yet.

System Specs. (Home built by myself - R.J.M. Computers)

- 1.8 P4 Northwood - 512k onbaord L1 and L2 cache
- Asus P4-333 M.B.
- 1024 Megs PC-333 DDR Ram
- 100 Gig 7200 Maxtor H.D.
- 128 Meg Nvidia GeForce 4 Titanium 4600 video card
- Sound Blaster Live 5.1 +MP3 - Full surround sound
- 2 Gigs of HD allocated for Windows Virtual Memory
- 256 Megs System Memory allocated as Extra Video Memeory.

With this setup the highest frame rate I could achieve was 125 FPS with the graphics turned almost off. If I set the graphics to high everything the frame rate would plummet to around 35 FPS and it would also have the occasional hiccup where the game would stutter for a second and then return to normal.

Really the only thing you can do is wait for the product upgrade,
I have given up on the game for the time being and have written a nice long letter to Microsoft about their minimum system requirements.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
