Anyone else having framerate issues? In the cockpit view for example, the wheel turning etc is all fluid but the scenery and stuff is horribly jerky

Do you has ATI hardware?
No issues here at all!
Yea I have a 4870....is it a known problem? It happens at whatever level of AA I use, currently on 4
Yup had a few frame rate issues when in car view ... 4870 as well . Not a game stopper but was a little anoying . Lowered the settings a little and its better than it was .
Also the pad settings given a page back have helped tame the handling a little but def a case of to much power spoils the broth . Do all the handling mods and the first engine mod and its normally more than quick enough to cope . The infinity (tier 1) car once tuned is very nice . and on 20" rims and flat black paint looks mint
Atm doing tier 3 with the new Gtr and goes quite well .

Just been on the EA forums, seems lots of people have issues with ATI cards, dammit!
well mixed feelings so far... more cars need to be tried to get a reel feel for the handling.
to start with had the details set on medium, full resolution and 4x AA, but although the frame rate was stable at 40+ it just didn't feel smooth or responsive. have since dropped to 2x aa and then turned of v-sync. it was the latter that made the real difference to the driving response but spoils the look of the replays.
I'm now about to try forcing triple buffering on the Nvidia control panel in combination with v-sync...
playing on 360 pad atm and have to say, why on earth do you want 35% deadsone out of the box on the controls, there rather limited as it is. set them as has been posted and you at least stand a chance.
will be getting the G25 out at the weekend so that's likely to make a big difference.
final thought is along the lines of "roll on Dirt 2 and those new ati cards"
that's assuming the catalyst drivers get sorted and game experience is solid.

done a couple more quick races now,
triple buffer and v-sync seem to have done the trick, much smoother and responsive now.
time to up it to full detail and try some other cars.
lets not kill the game before its even got to the official Launch date!

Mine is waiting for me at home, wondering whether to just send it straight back without opening it tomorrow
yea, its certainly plenty to play/replay
lots of badges to get/win
time to sleep now but should be a good weekend
also of note, its pretty much maxing out my dual core, running at 90/95% cpu during the start of a race! - then 70-75% on an open track. 50-60% on replays.
currently sitting at 3.6 gig, iv had the chip at4.0 with a fair bit of voltage, but with winter on the way looks like its time to jump back to 3.8.
that's 400x9.5 with the ram on tight 444 timings.

I'm sure it would be enjoyable if the loading times were acceptable along with the frame rates. Its really tiresome waiting over a minute to do a 2lap race
