Might as well create a new thread for this, i say.. So my PC meets the minimum requirements and it runs okay though on some races, especially with multiple racers and cops the performance drops a bit, sometimes towards unplayable.. Well, not really but the framerates drop enough to affect my times.. So, since i updated my Ati driver along with the Catalyst Control Center, i decided to use the 'auto-tuning' feature which helped enough and went through some other settings to see what's what. And here i found this problem: when i 'tell' the Catalyst program to not 'use aplication settings' on Anti Aliassing and Anisotropic Filtering, the game crashes (!) when i start any race.. The problem here is, ingame there are no options for me to turn on or off these settings but i'd like a bit less detail to increase framerates .. Has anybody else come across this problem? Or, has anybody else have framerate issues and, what have you done to increase framerates? I also get kicked out alot playing online with this message about the system performance or something which is very anoying... Any help here is much apreciated! Bandit

My framerate drops below reasonable on the Hot Pursuit events with fast cars. Event though it is playable in other events and especially if I can get in the lead. Here's an example of unreasonable FPS... I do not know how to fix it. Jussi

These are my settings now... [Hardware] AdapterNumber=0 [Display] Width=1280 Height=800 ForceAniso=false HiResTextures=false MotionBlur=false DepthOfField=true FitToVertical=true GammaRamp=1.150 [Settings] Webcam= ShadowMapLevel=0 [Sound] SpeakerSetup=0 HighQualFilters=0 Let's see what happens if I change depth of field to false?

I think it worked! This is about the same spot where I hit rock bottom with 2 FPS... ...and I even got a new record, even though I was mainly paying attention to my FPS... Jussi PS. Try it and let me know how it works for you. PPS. What does that "depth of field" even do?

This faster FPS is excellent! I was able to get a gold medal from many events that I couldn't before. As I always say, decent FPS is the key to success! Jussi

Depth of field is a term used in film, photography, CG imaging and animation. It's the effect of blurring objects either close by or far away to highlight the point you want to focus on and give a better illusion of natural depth. My best educated guess is that computer first renders the in-game environment normally and probably layers the depth effect on top of it. So turning it off requires less computing power, at the expense of risking losing sense of depth - and with that sense of speed. However, if your framerate was 2 FPS before that probably won't bother you.
