i can't turn the visual treatment on as well!!!!!!! my video card is nvidia ge force FX 5200!! if there's no other choice but to upgrade to a more advanced video card, what is recommended (the minimum requirement to run it well)?

i was able to contact ea about this but no reply yet! as to my question! but i guess they just say my video card is old! or i need upgrading!

On my older computer with an FX 5200 Ultra I can't turn it on either. I think it's because the option requires a video card with Shader Model 3.0. The FX series only has SM2. You'd need to get at least an Nvidia 6 series card or an ATi X1xxx card to use the option.

I don't know.
I think my ATI radeon 9800 don't have shader model 3 (can't turn on blur) but I am able to turned on visual traitment

i think its a bug! from what i know only thin that requires shader 3 is motion blur! it really sucks co'z with NFSMW i can turn on everthing with my video card except shadows and rain! and the funny thing is with NFSC its the other way around, i can turn on rain effects but cant use the other effects! for now! i rate NFSC well below NFMW

They rushed the game so they have HUGE compatibility issues.

For your problem guys:
Upgrade to the newest drivers and see if it works

I guess that rules out my theory then.
