This is giving me a wildly varying framerate (which is probably to be expected, with a framerate that isn’t capped at 60) but one that isn’t too problematic. Right now, I’m running on a mix of High and Ultra with Motion Blur off, Ambient Occlusion set to HBAO, and Anti-Aliasing set to TAA. I’ll get to this later, but I really cannot decide if this looks gorgeous or horrible. I adjusted this immediately, because if there’s one thing I like, it’s a nice texture quality (and if there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s motion blur). It auto-defaulted to the bits you can see in the top screenshot, which had Texture Quality on Low while everything else was actually reasonably high. Which apparently wasn’t in the console versions, but will be making its way there eventually. Need for Speed apparently also has support for higher resolutions if you’ve got a monitor that supports them, and if you’ve got the hardware grunt for it, you’ve also got an uncapped framerate, steering wheel support for a variety of Logitech/Thrustmaster/Fanatec peripherals, and, uh, manual transmission. Not as hugely in-depth as I’d like, but better than I expected. But is my i7-3820 with 16GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 970 enough to make it purr like a tiger, or do I need a bit more under the hood? A bit of both, actually.įirst up, let’s have a look at the options.
Need for Speed is surprisingly svelte, cruising up to the starting line at a mere 13GB. Etc.īasically, I’ve actually played this series, and while I normally try to avoid covering racing games because terminology like “oversteer” and “torque” and “Scandinavian Flick” makes my eyes glaze over, I think this is a vehicle I can handle.
Hot Pursuit was… well, everyone but me liked that. Need for Speed: Underground offered some excellent new bits and pieces. The Need for Speed and Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit were great fun, when I was younger. I like my arcade racers, and I’ve got a bit of history with this particular series. While I’m definitely not a petrol head, I’m certainly more up-to-speed with Need for Speed (that was unintentional and I’m so, so sorry) than I am with wrestling.
