PC Specs
Can i run this game? What settings and fps for me?
PC Specs
Man, I think you can run this game. Low settings no aa at 1366x768 or lower resolutions. You can use fraps and msi afterburn for measuring fps[they are more accurate than anyone's guess].
PC Specs
contrary to many might say, i love this game, love everything about it, the visuals, the physics, and i can really feel the speed with them fast cars here.. maybe because it felt nostalgic, the visuals reminds me of gran turismo 2..
PC Specs
i can agree i automatically fell in love with this game the first time i played it.
PC Specs
I like it too.
PC Specs
can i max it on my res ???
PC Specs
Settings and fps for me? Thanks.
PC Specs
Settings and fps please?
PC Specs
Guys i've tried to run this game before, not sure about the settings, and it used to crash as soon as the first cutscene end. Can i run this at lowest settings with lowest possible resolution and what fps? :)
PC Specs
I don't know why, but often the frames go under 40 and it laggs...
Look at my specs... I can even play Crysis 2 with DirectX 11 patch and HD Textures on tweaked ultra... My CPU is 86% better than recommended and GPU 82%...
I tried even lowering from High on FullHD with 4xAA to all Medium on 1680x1050 without AA. No changes. Still framedrops...
PC Specs
I looked up the utilization of my PC with MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner:
GPU: max. 35%, normally 25-30%
GPU-Mem: -16% : -500MB of 3GB
CPU: max. 45%, normally 30-35% at only 4 from 8 cores, the others in Idle
So why the hell does this lag sometimes?? :(?
PC Specs
low settings 40+ fps ?
PC Specs
low setting 1204x768 27-38
PC Specs
ok thanks
PC Specs
settings and fps?
PC Specs
high, 60 + fps
PC Specs
Can my pc handle it on low settings I know my GPU is not 1 of the best GFX
PC Specs
you will get playable fps on low settings cant really tell you how much
PC Specs
i do everything high no AA and get 60fps you should get on medium-high 40-60fps..
PC Specs
sorry i was talking about NFS MW oops my fault :/
PC Specs
can my pc run it? and what fps?
PC Specs
Maybe Medium about 30 FPS Average. Have a nice day gaming
PC Specs
Dude.... He can run the game on Highest setting and get a good FPS.
PC Specs
its BS i have powerful pc and i get 30+ in most of races any ideas ?
I change the resolution to 1600/900 with low settings to get 60+ but game looks like s...t
PC Specs
did you check your Graphics Drivers? that's the main culprit of lower FPS than you should be able to get. you exceed recommended, so I would bet on your drivers being outdated.
PC Specs
I have the same problems with my rig. I play 1080p and get 25-35 fps on max with no AA. My drivers are up to date
PC Specs
that's weird. maybe your processor's being overworked, which I doubt, or your RAM's full, which I also doubt, my advice would be to do some routine tests to speed up your computer (Advanced System Care is a good free one, there's a pro alternative, but it doesn't do much more than the free version), and then see, I really don't know what to tell you.
PC Specs
Guys, all I know is that if you aren't using the 1.02 patch you'll get performance issues. Before i installed the patch I had the same issue, but with the patch I get steady 60 fps, 100% maxed out with vsync.
PC Specs
@Maxium: I installed the patch and it runs a bit smoother but the framedrops are still there... :(
PC Specs
@Lukaszmozer12319 @Barsbotond
Same problem for me... Maybe it's the FX? We have all an AMD FX as CPU...
PC Specs
What settings and FPS?
PC Specs
Hight man...:)
PC Specs
Hight man...:) 40 FPS...maybe more!
PC Specs
Thanks dude!
PC Specs
LOL you can play max settings with AA and everything and you will get 60 fps easy
PC Specs
Look at my comment... with an AMD card it's not that easy -.-
PC Specs
can i run it on max with 40+ fps if i get hd 6570 ? or gt 630 ?
PC Specs
high 40fps for sure but doubt Max
PC Specs
coz i am thinking of buying a gt 630 1 gb ddr 3 and my resolution is gonna be like 1152x862 soo what settings for me ?
PC Specs
On that res Max
PC Specs
i have a dell precision 390 with 375 i wanna use a 880- gt 512mb gpu with it so can i run a 8800gt on a 375 watts psu ? and 8800gt is better then gt 630 ?
PC Specs
it had to say cos the 8800gt is still a good gfx but due to new features go for the GT630
PC Specs
ok so i can go with gt 630 on my 375 watt psu right ? or what about the gts 450 ?
PC Specs
375 is pretty low though but I think 400 psu at least would do.
PC Specs
Yeah but i have a dell precision 390 and i want a power supply that can fit in that case http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad290/jmsandrsn/T3400Inside17.jpg
PC Specs

PC Specs
Medium settings 35+FPS!
