Need for Speed: ProStreet Demo

black bird what drivers are u using btw

 

Cant be bigspin. get Fraps and check.. its all in your head... sorry

 

btw sly expresso brown aint that good a colour.. my friend has it.. its just like black....

 

169.04

also my card is overclocked and cpu undervolted

 

i know but wen i bought it thought it would be lighter

 

i wasn't being rude or anything..

 

y did u undervolt the cpu??

 

keep the temperature lower when its under load, before it would go till 80C, now it hits only 60-62C

 

no problem

 

Blackbird which notebook do you own?

 

zepto 6625WD, the specifications are in the sig

 

Alright, i'll download this later and give it a shot. It looks really cool.

 

Blackbird are you indian??

 

nope...were do you guys keep getting that from lol

 

i read that forum =P..

 

lol ok...i thought maybe you were thinking hmm this guy undervolts his laptop to keep temperatures low...i guess he must be living in a hot country where the temperature makes notebooks heat up...hmm maybe India! lol

which one ...the one where i was arguing with bigspin

 

Did you try your settings on the "Grip Race" (that 2 lap race)? I notice all your screenshots are from the 1st race... For me I need to tune down my settings a bit to get good frame rates on the grip race.

 

yur actually pakistano rite

 

what's ur config?

 

Sager NP5790
Windows XP 32-bit
Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz
Geforce Go 7950GTX 512mb
3GB RAM
160 GB 7200rpm hard drive

I can MAX out my settings on the 1st race (8xAA + max settings at 1680x1050) and get 30-45 fps but when I play the 2nd race (the Grip race) I have to lower my settings down to 1280x800 2xAA max settings in order to get 30-45fps.

 

I would try it if only i could stop getting totaled al the time in the first race lol

The car goes to fast and I loose control, one slight turn and boom totaled...I suck man

EDIT:

you dont need to finish first race to get to the second race. you can just click on the main menu screen (to the right of the first race option) and second race becomes available


and yes the second race gives me a 10 fps hit !!, even when im just sitting still with no other cars in sight.

 

Once you get used to the control it's not that hard. btw I just overclocked my card and in the Grip race I got 25-45fps at max settings at 1440x900 with no AA. Looked better than max settings at 1280x800 with 2xAA but still playable.

 

I think there's more than enough screenshots with similar setups so I won't bother, unless specifically requested.

I'm getting 25-30 depending on race with 1024x768, 2xAA and all other settings maxed and getting 2-3 frames lower with 1280x1024. I think there's room for improvement there. Specs in sig. I lowered down the shadows and one or two other settings and turned off Fraps and noticed a fair bit of improvement, and it was running perfectly smooth.

That aside, this looks like another great game and something that would appeal to me, I tried GTR and thought it was overboard but this ensures good gameplay. Weak attempt at a clutch and a dash view would be nice considering the focus on realism as playing in "hood" mode isn't as nice.

To blackbird and anyone else, to try the other race, press "right" at the main menu (not very intuitive is it?).

 

OMG My G1s PWNED IT
1680x1050
AAx8
Everything Max
about 15+ FPS
if you guys dont believe and want ss, tell me and i'll post them

 

post ur scores:
1st canyon race: best time so far 1:55:xx
total speed 792(or 755 something like that)
fastest recorded checkpoint - 202mph

 

That checkpoint speed is pretty crazy, the highest I have ever gotten is around 190ish with my 360...

 

the car is limited to 190mph unless you race on King, then it's limited to 202.

 

So what's the story behind prostreet?

I didn't like the story of Carbon and Most Wanted so I wasn't really interested.

 

Not really sure. Seems EA are almost out of ideas. Even the race types are pretty much the same.

And seen though racing games are the only ones I am good at, I'll take the chance to brag! 205mph checkpoint! (top speed 206), time 1:54.82, would be better but cars keep totalling in front of you and run you off the road! 2:22 on the grip race.

 

sweet, will try to outbrag u later today! hahaha

 

its a good game but not new

 

Meaning? (prostreet is not released yet)

 

holy BEEP BEEP**** BEEP the graphics so sexy its like *** in my mouth man

 

So I ran it at 1024x768 with all the settings on high, no anti-aliasing, and it did just fine on the X1600. I only tried the grip race, since I really wanted to try out the new Skyline GT-R. Don't remember the exact time, but the physics was much more like PGR and less like MW and Carbon.

I really wish they would apply this same physics and graphics engine to the old NFS4 (High Stakes) game format, that would kick ass. EA is too stupid to do that though - at least this is a step in the right direction, with MW, after the mindless stupidity that was the basis of Undergrounds 1, 2, and 3 (Carbon).

 

Is it just me or does this look worse graphically than Carbon? Maybe I need new glasses =/

 

it's about getting racing off the streets..lmao
i'm not joking..

 

look at my GTR Fly

 

I installed the demo and set the video options to mostly medium, no AA, and @ 1280x720 60 Hz. I'm getting slight graphics corruption and it's fast (not sure about the FPS, but it's smooth), then after a few seconds it stutters for a second, then it's smooth again. I'm using 163.67 drivers right now. I'll try the new 169.04 drivers later.

BTW, I kinda like Carbon and Most Wanted better. The menu is horrible and the game's theme is kinda crap, at least for me. Then again, a lot of people are probably tired of the "nighttime racing" theme of the past 4 NFS games.

 

I have the sam problem using 169.04... and i dont have any solution :S

 

Try the first race in king mode and fly over the crest at 300km/h, preferably with NOS. Do it at anything but perfect orientation and count the flips!

@xenupy and SymphonyX: I wouldn't bother about problems in a demo. And yes, this games does seem like a step down even if it has good intentions. Maybe the type of game you'd need a steering wheel for to at least enjoy the driving aspect seen though almost everything else has been sucked out.

 

NFS-Pro Street Demo Benchmark Results .Looks like ATI VGA Cards Perform Better

Need For Speed Pro Street Demo Graphic Cards performance test

 

@ krt

This NFS game plays quite differently from the previous ones. It's not arcade-like anymore. Wow. This sucks. I have GTR2 for all my appetite of a racing simulator and NFS Carbon for pure fun. They should have enabled an option where NFS Pro Street would play like Carbon and the other "NFS night racing" games.

I installed 169.04 and it works fine now. 1280x720 60 Hz, World Detail High, World Lighting On, World Shadows Off, Texture Filtering Trilinear, Car Detail High, World Effects Low, Car Effects Medium, Smoke Off, Car Damage High. Plays fine now but I still get some slight graphic problems like the vinyl on the car blinking and similar crap.

 

This is such a refreshing change from the underground scene. And omg do the cars look awesome or what?

They haven't included the GTX so we can't really say that the Ati cards perform better in the game. They need to use more cards to create a more "fair" testing environment.

 

did some racing today and the best result on the first track so far is 1:53.63 with the top speed of 202, fastest checkpoint of 199, and overall mileage of 739... need to improve my speed, how did u guys get 206mph?! f'ing crazy lol

 

King mode (no aided braking) plus near perfect timing of NOS Maybe some luck too...

 

lol, i'll try that later xD
i just dont know why EA put so much work into the game, but didnt give the crowd any expressions..they fully see my GTR flying their way..and they didnt even flinch :S

 

how many races are there in the demo?
I read somewhere that there were 3 but all I can find is 2.

 

as far as i know, there are only 2 of them

 

yeaup, same...where did you hear that there were 3? i'd sure like to try it
