NFS Hot Pursuit Performance

How the game runs on R2 i7?
I'm just too excited to have my limited edition delivered lol :x

 

N4S undercover runs on all highest settings on my r1 great, not sure how much they changed in the new one.

 

Yeah....... and maybe even NFS Shift too....... but NFS HP needs more CPU power isn't it?

I know that, I know that.....LOL
I'm rather interested with the in-game settings and framerate coz I'm worried that the CPU is a little weak even for i7 (SystemRequirementsLabs doesn't get a pass on recommended settings)

 

no problem with all high setting, native resolution on r2 i7 without oc

 

REALLY??!!!
That really cheered me up!
Some people even faced the lagging problems with their GTS 250.....crazy lol!
Beginning to love alienware *giggles*

 

this game consumes CPU alot, I'm playing on my R1, lowest setting (except the native resolution), it doesnt have much detail in setting btw.

average frames is 25 (18-32), sometimes it drops to 15 in some locations, playable I think

I'm looking for some solution to overlock the SU7300 over 1.7ghz >.< (could anybody give me advice in this case plz )

on my desktop (cpu e8400 3.0ghz, 4G Ram and 9600GT), this game runs smoothly (maxed out) with average 40 frames/s.

 

Can it play without disc after install ? Kinda headache for M11x if need to keep plug in the external hardisk XD

Bought retail and on the way to my hand

 

here is a video of high settings on the R2. it is playable but as you can see sometimes it does dip under 20 FPS.

hey thanks for the trailer! the gameplay looks smooth
maybe 25 fps is the threshold for me
BTW whats your CPU overclock?

 

164 in the video. played it on stock CPU and results seem the same.

 

okay thanks then. I don't have to worry about that 166MHz coz i'm OC my CPU @ 158 lol

 

Someone mind to answer ? Received the item and now waiting working hour to pass

 

mmmmm?? I'm using Bad Company2/Red Alert 3 DVD and the installation lets me choose either DVD verification or Online Verification, and if I add my license key to my EA Download Manager I can download my games there without DVD verification, you can try that?

 

Oh, can be like that eh? Mb later back home and see

First time bought EA Retail disc

 

and yea EA customer service is totally great!
I've formatted this laptop over 5 times and used up my Red Alert 3 license keys, contacted them and they added few more license limits again within few seconds! So if you are having problems don't hesitate to ask them

 

If the game is cpu limited you should be able to increase graphical settings without any reduction in performance.

IIRC setFSB is normally used for clocking when the bios doesn't allow it, however the M11x's "ID" is not recognized so the options don't work. I am not sure if there is anyone actively looking at this.

 

i use a no-cd exe file so I don't have to mount the game with iso or use an external cd player. you can google for the no cd exe file. I don't know if I can post up the link since it might be considered illegal.

 

you might be warned because this post

 

Well, i support ori and this time there's no DVD required for original

Playing on R2 i5 (oc-ed @158) with 4GB ram and all setting at high, 1366x768 resolution. Facing some frame rate dropped during the gameplay but it's kinda random. Overally it's very smooth but too bad no AA

 

wait till you get turbo mode. game is actually not playable. your FPS will dip below 10.

 

Is it glitch or ? Our spec should be able to handle i thought ...

 

in the game, you can use turbo mode to super boost your car. your car accelerates super fast and everything becomes blurry. so motion blur makes the game lag. you will be going at 200+ mph. the lambos are 250mph under turbo mode.

 

I don't think the game is fully optimized isn't it?
