I think my 1920x1080 is too much for the gtx 560, I wish I could find a good lower resolution monitor in the 22 or 23" range, but my 23" was very cheap.

Looks like similar specs to my 6870. I'd suspect you 560 peeps just need some newer drivers than have been released so far.

Plays on my GTX 260 fine :)

Yet everyone here with much faster hardware are having performance issues (not even reaching a stable 50+ FPS).

I doubt the GTX 260 plays the game well at anything above minimum detail, which I don't consider "fine" personally.

So... have any console players tried this game? Seems like this thread was steamrolled by us PC folk :p

About VSync, perhaps try forcing on adaptive VSync for Geforce users and see if that helps things.

It's not quite what Adaptive VSync is designed for.

It won't smooth out the frame rate in the way that this game has issues.

It's the engine that is causing stuttering due to either 1) a poorly optimized code set or 2) incapable hardware (this isn't too likely however, as I believe the engine is simply just poorly optimized).

EDIT: After reading about the power benefits of Adaptive VSync, I have enabled it system-wide. If I get game issues, I'll turn it off, but if I see no issues, power consumption goes down (good for the electricity bills!) and maybe the GPU fan won't make such a racket all the time as it's not over-rendering (the OcUK GTX 560 I have is stupidly loud when a game is stressing the card).

To be fair I haven't changed anything except the resolution, and it looks quite pretty. Will wait for a patch then try push the settings :p

I just updated my drivers and lost a few frames, but it's ok. I think the game looks pretty good with everything on medium + high res textures and I hold steady at 60fps (according to fraps) UNTIL I crash and the slo-mo scenes drop me about 4 or 5 frames, no biggie and every once in a while when the screen flashes red (cops) or blue (cool down) I drop a frame or two, as well.

My GTX 670 struggles when there is intense action on screen on maz details at 1080p.

Disabling VSync would have helped to smooth out the experience at the cost of a little screen tearing.

At fellow Nvidia users, 310 beta driver causes degradation in performance. Use latest WHQL driver only for the time being.

Can somebody tell me if this is the same company that screwed up the remake of need for speed hot pursuit?? I was pumped up to play that game, and then I only played it for a day before I got sick of it... What a waste of money....

I don't know why people spend launch price on NFS games. They usually tank after a couple of months (well most games). I got NFS Run a few weeks ago for $7 on Newegg. Sure, you might get "launch pack cars" but meh. Take it from someone who's bought some NFS games at launch only to be disappointed. They need to continue the Shift series!

Ah damn. Guess I should revert the drivers.

It is. I really liked the Hot Pursuit reboot. This game though, as I said above, is much less NFS and more Burnout.

How does it compare with the original Most Wanted released a few years ago? I ****ing loved that game!

I want to know this too (from someone who owns this game)- but from the sounds of it, it's not the same experience. :(

I'll say that the thrill of running around highways and cop behaviour is like the original Most Wanted.

Though one thing that I'm happy to see go away are the super cheesy acting and gimmicks such as built-in text messaging. This game makes it clear that it's a racer first and foremost. Also different - I believe you do not have to beat Blacklist members in order to continue with the game. The only reason why you'd want to is to steal their car, if you really wanted it.

The upside is that you no longer have the standard progression of racing crap cars and super easy AI from the beginning, and face a sudden AI ramp in the middle. Downside? It's tougher overall. :p

Help the noob. I've got 2x560 (non-TI) in SLI setup.

1. Will enabling Adaptive VSync do any good for me?

2. If yes, how do I enable it?

Thanks a bunch.

If this is anything like the original Most Wanted, then it will be awesome. I can't wait to get a copy (of course when it's cheap).

It's not, its not a bad game, but's certianly an embrassment to the original and doesn't live up to it at all.

This 'game' is garbage.

Each car has only the same 4 races which give you upgrades for the car you complete the races with, you cant move upgrades from one car to the next you have to do the same races over and over and over and over again for each car you find, then as you get higher points you can race against the "most wanted".

The games industry wonders why people pirate games, look at this pile of crap, 4 races....... 10 chases, all for $60?????

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
