I have a question for you guys. What kind of systemspecs do you have and how runs NFS Most Wanted on it. As you can see i have a pretty reasonable system but NFSMW runs like total ****. If i run it at 800x600 i can actually run it with aa and af fully on but i still have the framedrops. Therefore i think it's due to my cpu its running bad.

A friend of mine has the exact same systemspecs as i do (and when i say exact i mean exact, he even has the same brands of hardware :shock: ) and on his system Most Wanted runs way better. So i'm really interested in how it runs on other peoples systems.

What a good game !

No problems at 1920x1200 using ArtMoney ... 45 to 60 fps ...
Everything at max apart from AA which is at 2x in the NVIDIA display settings (turned off or right down in-game).

Sorry I don't have any suggestions to help you out ... :(

Paddy -any way you could post how you make these changes in ArtMoney for NFSMW? Most noobs, such as myself don't 'get it' - Plz?

In another topic Awax wrote the following. I don't know if you already saw it but maybe it helps :D.

1 - Start ArtMoney
2 - Start NFSMW
3 - Set res to 800x600
4 - Alt+tab to ArtMoney
5 - Using the left button, search for 800
6 - Alt+Tab to NFSMW
7 - Set res to 1024x768
8 - Alt+tab to ArtMoney
9 - Using the second button, filter for 1024
10 - you should 10 to 20 matchings fields, pass all of them to the right part of the screen using the arrow in the middle
11 - Using the left button again, search for 768.
12 - Alt+Tab to NFSMW
13 - Set res to 800x600
14 - Alt+Tab to ArtMoney
15 - Using the second button, filter for 600. Again, you'll get from 10 to 20 matching fields
17 - Pass them on the right side of the screen.
18 - Replace all 800 by 1680 and 600 by 1050 (or your prefered screen res)
19 - Alt+Tab to NFSMW
20 - Enjoy

Actually, the FOV is 100% correct. The streched UI is the only "prob" but you'll quickly get used to it. Actually, it feels weird at the beginning if you've played with the 4:3 version. I'm at 49% game completion so far and when switching to 16:10, I had trouble finding the info on the screen because it was to wide :) ... or just wider than I was used to.

Leave it with me ... I'll post a full "How To" with pictures as soon as I can ... 8)

I read that and tried it bro and it didn't work for me OR I just didn't 'get it' but thanks :?

With the system below (rather old !), I can run at 1650x1080 smoothly with this kind of details :

I have road reflection turned on, even you can not notice it on this image.
