NFS Hot pursuit (2010) Optimization Walkthrough

1 - Go to C:\Users\L1qu1d\Documents\Criterion Games\Need for Speed(TM) Hot Pursuit or w.e it is on your computer.

2- Open config.NFS11Save with Wordpad/notepad

3- Configure it like this:


[Hardware]
AdapterNumber=0
[Display]
Width=1366
Height=768
ForceAniso=false
HiResTextures=true
MotionBlur=false
DepthOfField=false

GammaRamp=1.150
[Settings]
Webcam=

HighQualFilters=0


I now get 35-40 fps.

Step 4- This might have helped but didn't check, set game to Priority level high!


Happy Gaming!

 

Sir, this is for R1 or R2?

 

My mistake, I thought I had wrote it, its been tested on r1, it will prob help R2 as well, but I think R2 can enable a little bit more

The game still looks great, other than motion blur u wont notice anything else

my frames were a constant 15-22 fps, now are 35+

 

Also turn off any antivirus while playing, this game really chugs th cpu! I also tested it with overclocked graphics and the frames went up 4-5 frames at times

 

how do you set the game to priority level high? i try to in windows task manager and it says access is denied

 

You might need admin enabled, you might be setting it to Realtime, which gives access denied I believe

 

Double post

 

+1
much better, thanks L1qu1d.

 

Also you can try enabling ForceAniso=true I found out, but make sure you OC your video card, other wise it might have some hiccups!!!!

Enjoy!!!! Expect more frame drops when playing as Police!!!

Great game though

 

eii dude thx for this, but i have some problems with it, i still under 12 fps, it could be intel hd graphics?

 

consistently under 12 fps? or on and off? ??

Intel HD graphics prob would do 3 or 4 frames if any lol It might be that you have it on power saver mode or have the video card on adaptive performance

 

i have an R1 and my fps is 8! i copied your settings with gamebooster on. did i do something wrong?

 

8? holy crap ur video card might be turned off

 

im on nvidia with 260.99 driver.. i did everything you said including the priority and antivirus and installed the patch. im also on ssd vertex LE..

 

LunaTech try to adding it to the whitelist.

@BranMuffin -- my system is R1 as my signature says.. thanks for the concern though..

 

with this tutorial I can play it at 22-25 fps, I have an R1, the game have drops to 9-10 fps while racing (in some part of the races) even turning off all settings....I think this poor performance is because the optimization of the game, im sure our R1 or R2 can handle this game perfect if well optimized.

 

i play that game not modded full settings and i barely see any lag
no need to mode on that game XD

 

AHHAHA i am so lame... Whoops my bad.

 

R1, no modifications here, everything maxed out, totally fluid.

Running on i7, I noticed that the game runs smoother (30~even 40+FPS) on 148~150 Mhz than 152+....... Wondered why
