Techincal Issues:

1. Nitro Family will only run on video cards with 32MB of RAM and Hardware Transform & Lighting support. (Most video cards released in the last 3 years with 32MB or higher support Hardware Transform & Lighting) Here is a list of cards that do NOT support Hardware Transform & Lighting will NOT work with Nitro Family:

3DFX Voodoo series of cards
Kyro
Kyro II
Nvidia TNT series
ATI Rage series (and earlier cards)
SiS Graphics Chips/Cards
Intel Graphics Chips/Cards
Matrox 450 and Matrox 550 (and earlier cards)

Again, Nitro Family is not compatible with any of the cards listed above.

3. If you are using a GeForce 2 or equivalent card, be sure to turn off FSAA,
projected shadows, and detailed textures and run the game in 800x600 screen resolution.

Tips on increasing performance:

1. Only the fastest machines (P4 1.4 GHz and Athlon 1700 XP+ and higher) with high end video cards (e.g., Geforce 4 series and Radeon 9000 series) should play with all graphics settings on high and all features on.

2. Update to the latest Microsoft certified drivers from your video card manufacturer.

3. Do not run any other applications in the background when playing the game.

4. Defragment your hard drive. (See Windows manual for instructions)

5. Increase the RAM in your machine. The game will take advantage of additional RAM above 256MB.
