Racing Game, possibly sim to test my GPU

Hello.

Im not a massive PC gamer. Usually play xbox360 due to most of my mates being on there.

Im looking for a racing game that will test my gtx460 graphics card that can be bought through steam. I have recently bought race07 and really like it but would like something a little more harsh on the graphics card in order to test mine out

Any recommendations?

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah, that pcars looks brilliant.

Looks like I need a new genre of game in order to test my GPU.

I think Shift 2 will be enough to test a 460 with if not Grid 2 will defiantly use all the pixel pushing power available.

Oki. I did go on systemrequirements website and it seems to pass the recommended for each game ive tried apart from devil may cry.

I have tried Far Cry, Crysis etc...

A 460 is still a capable card but if you start turning the settings up in newer games it will struggle. Battlefield 3, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider to name a few will push the 460 at higher settings.

Ahh oki. My card is completely standard, havn't overclocked the GPU or CPU.

If you download MSI afterburner you'll be able to see the fps your games are running at and adjust the settings accordingly you want to keep at about 60fps. You can also overclock your graphics card with afterburner if yours is supported.

Oki. I do have gadget too which shows me the GPU/CPU temps
