^ Need for Speed Shift ^
- Thread starter eekfek
- Start date
As Mrk says the default is KMH unless you have changed it, either that or you have one crazy ass 1 series bm.
As for the performace I have a 3870 & 3850 in main rig but it also playes reasonably on my laptop with a 9600m gt. Could have issues with particular cards or setups like every other game I suppose.
.... seems strange that in order for me to install the game i 1st needed to install a piece of NVidia software - PhysX.
Could this be why ATI cards are having issues running this game ...
I found this article regarding slow ATI performance from here http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,...engine-info-and-Full-HD-screenshots/Practice/
which basicaly says - "Although we wanted to deliver graphics cards benchmarks of Need for speed: Shift, we have to refrain from doing so. In our version of the game Nvidia's Geforce cards were running without problems, but AMD's Radeons were noticeably slower that usually. AMD is already aware of the problem and is working on optimizations for Shift. As soon as we receive a solution for the problems we will deliver benchmark results for graphics cards and processors."

Its interesting as I would have thought 4870 > 3850&70, other than that our setups are very similar. What sort of issues do you find?
EDIT : Would also like to mention that I am running 9.9Cats - Installed randomly the other day. could this be why performance is fine here?

I had exactly the same problem with the suspension upgrade on my m3.. sold it and it actually handled better, really odd.
Has anyone had problems seeing other players cars in MP? Had it yesterday with fox it was very odd as he was 5th then 1st.. id stopped racing to see if he went past but he couldnt see me and i couldnt see him.

Just been playing through today, on Tier 2 races at the moment. Awesome game, not so sure about the drifting yet but I guess I will get used to it 
.
I get occasional stuttering when driving at high speeds, but other than that FPS is solid on a 4850 with everything maxed out on a res of 1920x1200.

im on the drifiting stages, and i find it too hard!!! (but then again im only useing a keyboard untill me pad arives)
I think [TW]Fox mentioned the same was happening didn't he? I think someone suggested he had to launch from the start menu not directly from the .exe for some reason but i'm not sure if that actually fixed it for him.
Mine does this as soon as I change any of the settings in the graphics menu, to fix it I just delete the 'graphicsconfig' from C:\Users\***\Documents\NFS SHIFT
I don't think my 8800gts 320mb likes high shadows at all

Just to say I have no problems and am using the same drivers for my 285.
Road America in a Zonda F must be one of the worst races to drive tbh
Runs silky smooth on mine with 186.18 Windows 7RC
Anyone noticed that even after setting the HUD to MPH, the dash still uses kmh? rather annoying especially if they have a digital readout!
