Are there any current <g> or past racing games or sims that will work on Win 7 64-Bit?
 

Looky here! A new post in RAS <g>

Besides Andrew of course ;-)

Does any one know of any racing games or sims that will work on
Windows 7 64-bit in an acceptable resolution? Something higher than
say 1024x768. Heck, I'd even take a racing "game" for that matter
these days. Preferably a NASCAR sim but I love all racing.

My main monitor is capable of 1920x1080 but I realize I'm stretching
it.

I couldn't get RBR to run. I will see if I can do so with NASCAR
2003, and GTR2 (but what is the maximum resolution for those two?). I
will boot up Race 07 and see how that is. DIRT 2 works.

Something strange going on with my system? What do you mean by that?!

No, my 27 inch Samsung caps out at 1920x1080

Okay, I have a 27 inch Samsung and a 22 inch Samsung installed with
another 22 inch not hooked up because it was getting a little flaky.
Just one video card, a eVGA GTX 480 1536MB.

Dang, I asked my wife for an XBox 360 for my Bday (yeah, right, like
she's going to buy me a "game player" but I never know!). If I knew
GT5 was that impressive I guess I might have asked for a PS3. Price
point seemed better for a Playstation than the XBox since we can only
afford the 4GB XBox now (I would/will eventually get an external HD
for it).

Now, to the basement to see if I can find NASCAR 3 or NASCAR Sim
Racing and get it up and running on my Win7-64 system. Hopefully in a
week or two. Especially after today's Daytona race!!!
