    Hey all,

    I currently have this game running on my m1730 (2.5Ghz, 8800m GTX Sli)
    I've tried nearly every single driver out there and can I get decent performance!?!?!?!

    I've messed about with all the setting and I can get it to run ok 40ish FPS on low.

    Theres hardly any performance difference if I enable 2xAA at 1900x1200, everything on High. I'm still getting about 25-30fps. Which seems odd because I'm only getting 40ish with 1680x1050 No AA and LOW settings.

    Is anyonelse having problems with this game?

    Regards Jim

    Yeah, it runs like crap on both of my machines... playable, but by no means is it a well running game... which surprised me as the first 2 games ran awesome on everything I ever tried them on.

    I don't have any issues with it :S
    Don't sure about FPS, I can check it but need to install the game first :D

    Tried the drivers and did some playing about in nhancer and guess what! ! ! !

    I've got the game playable at 1900x1200, full Anisotropy & 2x AA. YEP amazing or what !?!?!?!?!

    At the start of the race I get a minimum of 30fps. Most of the game play is at 45fps when I'm the only car one screen I'm maxing out at 60fps (V-Sync enabled)

    If anyone wants to try my config and I'll tell you what to do.

    Regards

    A V Happy Jim :)
