The gift cards or the game?

Buy $70 worth of gift cards first.

1) Purchase the $20 & $50 gift codes from the Singapore Microsoft Store.

$20 = https://www.microsoftstore.com/stor...20-Xbox-Digital-Gift-Card/productID.299585900

$50 = https://www.microsoftstore.com/stor...50-Xbox-Digital-Gift-Card/productID.299586000

2) PayPal is a checkout option and you can use the following billing address if required, I use my normal bank card (barclays) put in my adress and then the 039595 bit and singapore as country:

7 Raffles Boulevard

Marina Square

039595

Singapore

Once payment has gone through you'll receive the codes instantly.

3) Redeem the gift codes on your account and purchase the game using your newly acquired credit.

its really quite simple, ive used this method for a number of other countries.

Cheers for that. :) I know I saw something about this earlier and I tried trawling back a few pages and couldn't find it. Purchased gift cards from SG now, will try to download tonight.

Well, other than a few crashes every now and then, Forza actually runs fine on my 670. Obviously 'Low' everything, but the FPS stays well above 60 (except in menus when applying mods to the car).

That said, I have just splashed out on a Zotac 1070....

I have Forza running at 1080 - Vsync on - 60 fps - All settings high and MSAA 2X. Its running very well, mostly nice and smooth, hardly any stutters if any.

I don't ever use any FSP counters or software like afterburner because if it looks good and you are enjoying it then thats all that matters. There is far to much obsession with minutiae in games nowadays.

System spec is Win 10 64bit latest AU update - i7 - 4970K at 4ghz - 16gb RAM - 970GTX - SSD drive. using the latest NVidia drivers 372.90 - No GeForce Experience.

Also I think the game seems to run better at different times of the day.

It may be to do with how many people are online at that time and therefore accessing the servers. I've also noticed that my load times for the game at start can vary a lot depending on what time of the day I play the game.

Something worth considering here methinks.

And what does that save me exactly?

What is $70 'GST' exactly in US $ or UK £?

No crashing here either. and decent frame rate with the CPU trick.

Edit: as this thread moves pretty quick:

"After starting the game go into the details tab in the task manager and set the affinity to not use cpu 0 and the priority to low for "forza_x64_release_final.exe"."

Edit, so it looks like this:

Damn, I really want to play this game but it's hideously expensive and knowing my luck it'll run like dog **** at 1440p;/ I could grab a bunch of pre-paid Xbox Live cards but I think I'll wait a bit longer.
