Need For Speed: Carbon.

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

tarey, u r right, the game is running nice in my computer cos it's not using SM3.0 features

I checked in 2 other PCs today, one having a Geforce 6600GT & 7600GS

in both these PCs the car reflection of the world arround it was really high, much like a mirror, motion blur was set to off, but still at 1024X768 it was crawling. However, once making a simple game profile in nvidia drive profile helped

on both these systems, the settings in which i played was 1024X768, Anistropic filtering from inbuilt the game & 2X AA from inbuilt the game, at 800X600, 4X AA is must else the game will look really awful & zagged. Other then this the drive settings were set to quality

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

Why don't you try to reduce some settings to high from maximum or even medium if you have cards like 7600GT, or even low for 6600GT. I know it is tought or even impossible to do, but try and see how much performance you will gain.

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

high settings = maximum setting in NFS MW, i was running at max setting already

Geforce 7600GT & 6600GT still have enough horsepower to run this game fine at 1024X768 at 2X AA,& still get 40 fps, u don't need an X1900XTX or whetever if u wanna play at 1024X768 only

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

IMO resolution comes secondary , with a pc like mine i can sacrifice resolution for level detail texture detail/sharpness. I try to compensate jaggies by aa if its not having large negative impact.

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

A 6600GT can't even run MW with 40FPS on 10x7 max no AA. Tell me one person who is able to get 40FPS with 10x7 max no AA on a 7600GT. Nobody till date managed that.

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

NFS MW -> hey tell me what is 10x7?? and i will confirm if i can get 40fps on max settings, no AA

NFS Carbon -> I get avg 20fps with everything max but NO AA,motion blur,vsync and no modifications in the nvidia display panel.

my hardware - A64 2.6Ghz/1GB-DDR400/6600GT 256MB

what can i do to get better fps? i mean in the nvidia control panel or otherwise..
too bad the game does nto have native widescreen support.

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

10x7 - 1024x768

reduce settings to get better FPS, that is the best possible thing, others will bring about small differences.

why do u always have to talk like an idiot, i have myself played NFS-MW at more then 40 fps at 1024X768 with no AA

@vijay_7287, give us your System Config.
__________
Furst Review @ nfsunlimited site;;;;;;
"Need For Speed Carbon isn't a revolutionary game and it's far from a stinker. Instead, it's what EA does best, usually"

"On the official Need for Speed Carbon a new Q&A session was posted, this time with line producer Steve Anthony. Questions range from car handling and physics to car classes."

*www.nfsunlimited.net/#12575

an excerpt-- "Within each class, you can also feel more subtle differences between some of the cars depending on whether it's a classic muscle car, or whether the car is lighter or heavier than another."

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

vijat, r u running it on onboard graphics, i tried running at 845G onboard graphics & it crashed similarly

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

maybe ur 865 is not supported...

 

[Rollercoaster]

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

man nfs carbon does not seem to be just a small step from MW....
EA doesnt want large steps for radical solutions, i think.
The game is same to MW almost. not what i was expecting.

may be in the full version there will be better racing catagories....

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

@ tech_mastermind

1024x768
AA off
Car details - high
world detail - medium
motion blur - off

drift is better than u2 but still boring

canyon duel is tough and awesome

 

[vijay_7287]

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

so is it like official tht it cannot be played with the onboard graphics of 865???

Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series

@vijay, you should know one thing===>> NFS Carbon is LOT more Heavier on system than Most Wanted was.
so running the DEMO on Onboard Gfx. is Difficult.
as this is just a DEMO, it HAS a lot of BUGS, like Random CRASH.

====UPDATE your GFX. DRIVERS====

So dont worry mate. Just try the Demo again, & Close all Applications (Anti-Virus, Firewall...).

& make sure you have atleast 700MB of Virtual Memory.
