It is strange - nurnbergring is the track that runs fine on my pc (50-60 fps even with my athlon x2 6000+). Maybe it is because of the version of the game. One question - is there a mistake in a title 'beginners challenge' ('beginners' written as 'eginners')?

Hi nice to meet you , i have a little question ( sorry if my english is bad )
I want to know if my pc spec : Athlon X2 64 7750 @2,7 ghz, ati HD 4670 512mb, 4gb RAM, Vista ultimate x86 can run gran turismo 4 smoothly depend on your config?
Hi and sorry for the late answer
. I'm sorry but you have a too weak processor, even in native resolution you will have bad slowdowns on the most demanding tracks (the ones by night - or having a lot of light sources and details). It's sad because the rest of your config is great and enough for this game, but unfortunately this game needs a powerful proc frequency. As a comparison, even with my 3.7Ghz Quad proc, I don't have a constant 60FPS on some tracks. Well I currently play with a 1680*1680 internal resolution in order 1) to match my screen resolution, and 2) to have nicer graphics ingame. I have almost 60FPS on the majority of the situations but I still have bad slowdowns. So imagine with 1ghz less, it will be unplayable. You can try with a native internal resolution and speedhacks but don't expect it will be enjoyable.
Quote:What I would like to know is, does the Dive Replay work for anyone because it just gives garbage on the screen when I try it (press the 'square' button during replay mode to cycle through until you get to it). It is one of the coolest things about GT4 I think, so it would be nice if it worked in PCSX2
Yep the dive replay never worked fine for me too, I also have garbage on the screen, but the two other replay modes work fine. We just have to do with it I guess, even if as you say this mode rocks

The attract mode (beside intro movie) and manually loading replays stored on disc never worked. However I didn't test the latest beta.

So far it's the only track that I can't play. I've tried many different settings but it always freezes after the first corner. The rest of the game seems fine.
Yep - are you running in 480p mode because it will crash otherwise.
That setting is not available in my game version - PAL
Yep it's only available on NTSC version. That's why I clearly stated in my topic that this guide was made for NTSC version because that's the one I played and finished, and I know that PAL version still have crash problems that NTSC does not have, especially related to the 480p mode. It seems that the Nurb race crashes on PAL versions, I didn't have any problems on my NTSC version.
Have you tried switching your graphic plugin to ZeroGS (default config) to see if the crash in the first corner is still there ? I say that because when I played GT4, I had some random crashes on specific championship races at particular moments (at the finish line, first corner, etc..). I made a savestate, switched to ZeroGS, and played the race without a crash. GSdx is not perfectly stable on GT4 but it's still running nice on most of the game.
