I'm trying to run GTR Legends on my computer and I absolutely enjoy both games. It says the recommended specs 2.0 Ghz but my computer is 2.66 Ghz. If I run it with the lowest graphics it runs at a good speed but if I turn up the graphics settings It runs slow but still playable. What could possiably be the problem. I have the same problem with GTR 2 and I have to run it with low graphics settings to get the right speed but that game says the reccomended specs are 3 Ghz and I am not going to try and run it with the highest graphics settings cause I know if I can't play GTR legends at normal speed with high graphics settings then certainly GTR 2 won't work at normal speed with high graphics settings. The graphics card is an Intel 82845.

"It says the recommended specs 2.0 Ghz but my computer is 2.66 Ghz"

It also says:
"3D Accelerator DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card with 256 MB memory"

which i doubt you have

the card doesnt even do hardware T&L im supprised ant dx9 game runs at all

from intel's web site
"Compatible with DirectX* 9.0, 8.x, and 7.x
Not all of the new features of DirectX 9.0 are supported"

if your not on a laptop i would upgrade even the cheapest dx9 card would wipe the floor with your igp
If you dont have a laptop im guessing your on agp
if so albatron do a 8800gt in pci you'd be looking at a 20x speed increase at least
