using Win10 for gpl
I just found an w10 app "settings" thing , the graphics were set at default , ive re set the 3 exe's 55, 66 and 67 to HQ , need to check on line and see if there is a diference .
What I dont understand is my GPL is A1 off line with full graphics on , why just Mt Juich 69 online , I have had issues with other tracks but nothing as bad as this

Bernie GPL is such lightweight with old low specs mods and tracks, that CPU+GPU power even in their deep sleeping mode is enough! BUT New tracks + mods need more power and if you let them sleep you get framedrops. So you must set them manually in a high power state  PS GPL uses only a single of your 12 CPU cores so only the V12 in full speed runs gpl ok online - with tracing and calculating the actions of real humans instead of stupid AI! |

After dodging the lap 1 turn one acco I chased Policardi for a few laps until we came together at the infamous T1hairpin when I T boned the Ferrari and watched it disitergrate into a thousand pieces before my eyes , when the dust had settled I got the dreaded sound of silence as I realised my finest Maserati Motori had gone West . I sat for a while admiring my handywork then had the sudden thought that using S/R might be a good idea . off we went almost a lap down now and wondering weather to carry on or not ,then realised I had to do a Pit in to account for my sins , promptly missed the pit entrance and thought OK get you 2nd time around , then hey ho missed it again , 3rd time I made sure to do the regulatory pit stop and re join , then it was just a matter of seeing how many would drop out to give me a points finish . Appolgies to Policardi and for the late pit in . Not sure I was entirely to blame for this but I will send an incedent report in claiming insanity as my defence and let the moderators decide suitable compensation for the injured parties  |

Bernie, you need to set the graphics options against each GPL exe individually or as Axel says, your graphics card will ignore GPL and go to sleep. Have a look at this How-To guide Phil , where to get this guide from ? the link seems incomplete and difficult to read ! |

I wrote it myself, saved it as a PDF file and shared it via my Google drive. If you can't read it clearly in your browser, you should be able to click on the link and then select the download button. Once downloaded it should be easy to read in Adobe Acrobat Reader (or whatever PDF viewer you use).  |

OK I understand that bit , but the question is where do I find the files to alter ? none on my PC , at least none there that I can find .
I was hoping your link would point to wherever those files ( or is it called "AP" these days ) are hidden on Wn10 ?
I've looked in settings and could change stuff in there but the only options are to have high performance , default or power save .
I'm thinking the settings files has been changed with win10 update stuff

The easiest way to find the NVIDIA Control Panel in Windows 10 is to type NVIDIA in the search bar. See screenshot below. You should then be able to click on the NVIDIA Control Panel icon to run it and then follow the instructions in the PDF. If you can't find the NVIDIA Control Panel, are you sure you have an NVIDIA card? Search for and open "Device Manager". Your graphics card will be listed under "Display adaptors"    |

it is there but not in the form you show in the PDF , completely different !! Anyway after much experiment , huffing , puffing , two-ing and fro-ing, I seem to have sorted it now . I have just tried UKGPL4 Spa67 practice race and frame rates where good . not tested '10' yet Thank you for your input and efforts  |

Great news Bernie! Spa67 is very heavy on graphics so I suggest you also reduce the "Detail Bias" in the GPL Options -> Graphics menu to about 50% (for this race anyway). It will help keep the frame rate up at the start and at La Source which for some reason is heavy on the graphics. I have mine at 50% and it doesn't detract from the racing. |

Sorry to say Phil - reducing the details is with Bernies 1660 super the wrong direction! It will fall asleep. I have detail bias to 99% with my 1060! Those power GPUs have to be busy to not yawn |

Everything was fine for the 55 Spa race on UKGPL04 good solid 60 fps , only problem now is since following Phil's guide notes I did
"Set program to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode:"
Now my I get the error message
NTLDR is missing , press any key !
PC wont boot unless I press a key , no hardship just inconvenient when I try to boot from my Hard Drive
Is there a fix for this ?
