I tryed pro street on the 360 and thought it was very fun especially the mode where u go on them long straight tracks there insanly fun in 2 player mode.
 
Just had a go and i can run it smooth (didnt check exact fps) with 1024x res and medium details with 4x aa, played well and looked nice, what more can you ask really. ;)

I could play with 1280x res but i prefer a bit more speed than pixels. So think ill stick with the 1024 res.
 
I do not get any pop up artifacts like others experiance and im using a x1950pro agp 512mb card with 8.3 drivers (no hotfix used).

This may be of help to those that get corruption.

x) Graphical corruption on ATI’s Radeon X1xxx cards:

You may experience graphical problems if using a Radeon X1300 through to X1950 graphics card with Catalyst 8.3/8.4 drivers. This is down to a problem with this specific version of the drivers, and can be fixed by switching to a different driver version. At the time of writing, the problem must be fixed by rolling back to an older driver version. To do this, first uninstall the Catalyst 8.3/8.4 drivers via the control panel (Add/Remove Programs in XP, or Programs and Features in Vista), then browse to the following website: ati.amd.com/drivers. Choose your operating system and graphics card from the lists, and click GO. If the subtitle of the page is “ATI Catalyst™ 8.3/8.4 Display Driver…”, scroll to the bottom of the page, and choose “Previous Drivers and Software”. Download and install the Catalyst 8.2 drivers.

Future driver versions (i.e. 8.5 and later) should be fixed so that this problem no longer occurs.

Btw i said before i use 1024x res well i use 1280 res as there was hardly a performance hit. Btw how do you get rid of shimmering is it a driver thing or a setting thing? Just that i started noticing it when snowy told me he saw some on the spoiler when i sent a pic to him.

Oh and i get a strange sound reduction when i was pretty banged up near end of the mustang ebay GP. I think this is a feature tho to simulate the driver getting pretty hurt so he and we experiance a slight deafness lol. Duno if thats really it but thats how i see it as when i started another race with car in good nick it was fine again so might just happen when ** really banged up i duno. Anyone else get this weird sound issue. And is it a feature or a bug do you think.

About pads, i have a thrustmaster wireless. Everytime i start race i have to reset the controls to what i want, even if it shows them as what i want they dont work when i start a race so i have to retire that race to get controls working by reapplying buttons in the controls. Highly annoying.
 
If you want to tweak the strength of the bloom simply open up in \Race Driver GRID\postprocess the effects.xml with notepad or notepad ++ and edit values like.

Find things like.

Param name="bloomAmount">1.000000</Param>

Then change to somit like

Param name="bloomAmount">0.600000</Param>

Might work.
 
Well i modified all the BloomAmount values to 0.500000 but i am not sure it reduced it. Maybe i would need to alter contrast and lum settings also but cant be bothered to. :p
 
Anyone one else getting some bad shimmering with this game with a x1950pro? Its starting to pee me off. Also it seems AF doesnt seem to work even if you force it to 16x in CCC. I mean it still looks blury the road at a distance. Also why is it that i cant pick fsaa 6x as my card is capable, tho this prob isnt just this game a lot of games only show up to 4x aa setting and not 6x.

I tryed forcing 6x aa but it just breaks the aa in the game so it is useless trying to force it.
 
If you want less bloom just edit CCC or whatever nvidia has these days and turn the contrast down a bit for full screen gaming option. Then it shouldnt be as bad.
 
I just tested and its fixable if you enable geometry instancing. Not sure if CCC allows it on or off as was greyed out for me, but with Ati Tray Tools its tweakable on and off. On makes it run off makes it corrupt after intro movie.

8.5 drivers im on.
 
Yep we figured as much, managed to host about 30 mins ago or somit and had about 5 races. As wasn't many ppl hosting private games thank god.
