Carbon graphics question

Hey all

After reading some comments on the new carbon, many are saying the graphics are not as good as expected.

But, I am not too impressed by the graphics at all. I want to know if this is something to do with my drivers or something, or if the game is meant to look like this.

Here's two pics:

Notice the white lines on the outline of the cars seem to stand out too much, as if there is no AA being used, yet it's on 4X AA.

The car in this picture just looks like a complete graphics error to me, the car just looks FAR too reflective, again with the lines standing out too much, it just looks messy.

The graphics I've used here is medium shaders, high world detail and 4X AA, everything else enabled and on the highest. I've tried experimenting with different graphics, but they all look the same.

Can somebody post some screen shots of the game looking its best, along with your graphics settings and spec?

I've tried this on my system (see sig) and on my laptop which has a 7900GTX in it, but they still look very similar.

Help me, I don't want this game to be a let down

Doesn't look too bad to me allowing for the fact it's jpeg compressed.

Maybe check your graphics settings to ensure you have it set to Best Quality and not Best Performance or similar.

1280x800...hmm, and the motion blur if its on might be causing a problem with the AA.

I have uninstalled the game so cant take any screenshots for you but what you are seeing there is pretty much the same as I was getting. Cars looked almost all chrome with that weird outline.

If I remember correctly there is an option called "visual treatment" or something similar, turn that off or down, I found that improved things somewhat. But unfortunatly I never managed to get it looking as good as Most Wanted.
