    Have you tested it?

    It seems to be really gpu demanding. An average of 25-35 fps I think... Really dissappointing.

    With a 6770m.

    Will test it in minutes. Report back after results.

    Edit: 1280x800 everything is on or high except ambient occlusion, runs fluently. Specs in my sig.

    Even with medium specs the game does not feel totally smooth. So it is disappointing...

    A 680m must run this game maxed out.

    No sense for me....

    In my case, MSI afterburner shows a gpu bottleneck. 99% of gpu usage, So, your I7 is not the main difference between your specs and mine's. Maybe the 16 gb ram.... Not really sure about that.

    1gb 6770m version.

    HD textures off. The other specs on medium or low. Still feeling laggy. I mean there are a lot of FPS drops to 20-25 fps. Specially in the middle of the city... On the outskirts of town it runs great and smooth.

    Correcting myself: runs great on the highways and other outer roads. Lags like hell in the city... sorry for mysleading information. :eek:

    So, poor optimization...

    Thanks a lot.

    I hope this can be fixed because the game looks really nice.

    I remember nfs hot pursuit very well optimized... Even NFS the run with frostbite was more stable.
