Are you being serious? Maybe a patch has come out but when I played this game the graphics were terrible, do they actually let you turn AA on now? Or do you still get stuck with Jaggies. Looks lik eyou have AA in those screenies but It could be due to the resizing. But yeah, i really felt GRAW was a step in the wrong direction as far as graphics are concerned.

Its hard to explain in words, but I went back to BF2 today and the difference is amazing. BF2 looks, but more importantly "feels" cartoonish in comparision! :eek:

Like I said before, I think the games is moving in the right direction in terms of immersive/realistic gaming. The problem with GR:AW is that it doesn't implement everything properly, in paticular the HDR lighting which is overused in many areas. Many people are sensitive to these graphical features and hence are quick to judge the graphics as being rubbish, but each to their own I guess. That said I do agree that the game runs poor for the percieved level of graphical complexity, but using an x1900 the game runs fine at max details.

BTW, the game doesn't support AA and never will as far as I know. Its a shame because the jaggies are particularly noticeable in this game. Luckily for me, over the years my brain has developed a psychovisual form of AA, so its not a problem.

I am quite shallow, I cant play games without AA, it just annoys me too much. Even on my system GRAW felt sluggish, and it didnt even, imo, look great. I am on an oc'd opteron 146, 2gb OC EL RAM and an X1900XT

I got the same problem, i just couldnt play it without AA, it's not like me to do that with a game, but on my X800XTPE it really looked pretty damn bad. It's not a bad game, but its nothing special even if it had good graphics.

I use the latest Wingmanteam drivers (4.60 I think).
In windows I have force set to 100%, everything else 0% with spring effects/centering spring turned off. I use 270 degrees of rotation.

In LFS I have lock set to 270, and wheel turn compensation at 0.
I vary the feedback force between about 12 and 27 depending on the car I'm driving (< and > in-game).

In-game you can Shift+C to recalibrate, I do this at the start of every session. Sometimes the wheel doesn't feel 'right' if I don't.

I don't use the profiling software that comes with the driver either.

Logitech Formula Force GP. I get a sligh hang where it wont register when i first come out the pits, but other than that its fine.
