Need For Speed Most Wanted - PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter Peterthumpa
- Start date
Similar results on my i7-2600K, too - utilization rarely tops 40%.
HP was GPU bound and it's not hard to do what sethos did to show it. Like I mentioned it's another borked port and people have to wait and see how it performs on their rig whether it's powerful or midrange.

Wasnt/isnt there a similar problem with Need for Speed Most Wanted? I own MW and on my 680 i get drops to 45fps and stuff with everything on max, etc. Similar style games no?
It's quite GPU bound because I havent seen my GPU heat up like this since a while. BUT It's totally using my 4 cores as well (HT off).
Anyway AO to medium is enough and saves some FPS. I wouldn't turn down reflections tho as they look quite nice.
Since we can't get a solid 60 fps I just decided to downsample it a bit and call it a day. Might as well...

High AO also probably kills performance.
Wow pretty disappointing. Kind of tempted to just get the console version then..
Sethos would you recommend a getting pc version and then holding out for a patch for sli I was looking forward to this ugh
u crazy mahn.
Definitely get the PC version. SLI profile support is coming for sure and even with the performance snafus, you can turn down a few options and still have a better looking game than the console versions at 60FPS.

Hold out for the patches. I forgot who mentioned HP being patched 5 times but criterion will get to the performance for sure considering it will be unavoidable again. These games with supersampling and negative lod jacked up are some of the best racing experiences you can get.
Fuck sake. Might as well get Forza then. I only picked NFS because of the PC version.

I'll give my impressions tonight after the game unlocks, hope it turns out for the best! I'll be on a fresh Windows 8 install with the latest nVidia BETA drivers.

Cmon, this surely happens for 3 seconds in a specific street at a specific angle. That's an artistic decision, not even a problem.
We have worse things to worry about.
But...
Perfect.
IT'S NOT FROSTBITE.
All the tags to highlight this important point and clear up the misconception.

I was so looking forward to crushing this game with my newly built rig (i3570K and GTX 680). Cranking up the settings with no regard to the consequences is half of the fun! This is highly disappointing.

Well my plans for tonight are ruined. Was really looking forward to this game and I don't want to play it when it's a mess. Will wait for drivers or a patch.

Yikes. 2 year old Hot Pursuit looks better, runs better and can support SGSSAA (probably a better game too). I'll probably give the game a miss now.

It might not strictly be Frostbite, but iirc Criterion do recycle some of its code. Hence the similar lighting and all that dirt covering the screen.

I don't know that engines work the way you think they do.

Dude you probably got the game at half the cost of the console version on GMG. I got it from them for $34.
I mean, at worst I bet I'll still get the PC version to look and run better than it does on Xbox. At Worst.
At this point I'm assuming the dirt filter (which, as far as I can tell, is the exact same image in every game) is part of EA's internal certification process.
The dirt is a texture, not an engine component.

Pretty sure engines don't work that way but maybe you know more about it than I do.
Very good sir, got a hearty chuckle from that; one may also find that it is part of EA's style guide.

Though this holds some true, I think that the post process image is different from BF3 / NFS The Run.

But Criterion never used frostbite. Or did you mean they recycle DICEs code?
It's not even that bad. Note, I didn't restart the game when changing these settings, not sure if that's required. Game doesn't tell you to.

Low as it can go:
High as it can go:
There are better areas, but that's where I was at the time

Huh the only difference I see are the shadows.
