Glad to hear I'm not the only one... I have a 8400 GS and it always ran my BlitzMax stuff fine.
Now, I can't use the DirectX driver anymore because it just runs too slow. When using OpenGL I get some strange delays. When in my game I accelerate my airplane for the first time the game lags. When I hit the first opponent it lags (showing small explosion) and when I kill the first opponent it lags (bigger explosion). After that it's fine, but it's very annoying.
On another PC with some ATI card I've got no problems and even on my old P4 2,8Ghz with an Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (64mb) card it runs smoothly.
