Seems to improve performance for ATi

Well, I would just like to say. Tire mod installed, ffb set in logitech profiler. Amazing difference!

I really do think this wipes the floor with forza and the rest. I don't say this lightly either. I am loving it.

Yeah I totally agree, the drifting is impossible. Then I probably wouldn't be able to drift in real life so maybe that is quite realistic. I reckon there is gonna have to be a patch to dumb it down a bit so we can actually drift a little.

Another reason to ditch AMD

i know some guys who drove/drift some really powerful cars in their life and all of them agree its not even close to being "realistic" the throttle sensitivity doesn't seem to work properly.. the steering doesn't have the right "effect" the only way i have found to drift is:

tapping the throttle

and using the wheel like you would the controller.. so setting up the "drift degrees" to something low like 200deg and then going from 0to200 in one motion.. the same like you would do with tapping the gamepad buttons "tap - 200deg" "tap - 200deg" and at the same time tapping the throttle..

and even then its hard and takes a lot of time.. - i can't win the 2nd race the one around London drift track with 3 laps..

11.3 drivers seem to work best.. ? im on nvidia so can't confirm this..

I can't win anything at the moment in drift mode. LOL

My 5970 is struggling to break 34 fps,have tried few tweaks but not helping,out of the box the graphics look a lot worse than shift 1.
Tried disabling crossfire and it dips to single digits
On the + side handling is soo much better in this game,and there is no floatiness as with first one,
Autolog =arithon75

I have a 4870x2 and struggling to break 25 all settings maxed

yeah these do work, but xfire performance is far far less than single gpu for some daft reason

Negative crossfire scaling

You'll need to wait on ATi updating the CAP's.

If you have RadeonPro installed, try using the 'D3D Friendly AFR' crossfire profile & see if it helps.

Finding the drifting well difficult

Have ordered a G27 though bargain at £127 hopefully makes it more fun

ooh where from?

Yup the drifting is rediculously hard, I can't get more than a couple of decent skids together.

It's not realistic at all... Even on Gtr which is a full on sim I can drift a touring car a lot better than I can drift a purpose built skid car on shift...

It will sort the black car and sky

teknokid I had a voucher for 50% off

For those struggling with the drifts are you using any driving aids? For normal races I turn them all off but decided to see how drifting worked with them on.
Using some traction and stability control made it easier.
