NFSU2 graphic setup

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 29 Oct 2004, 22:37

can anyone run all the video options on 1048x768 and all the extra things, anti-analising and enhanced contrast??

cause i run with everything on, except over bright, anti anialising, and enhanced contrast. if i do then it slows down a hell of alot, i think its maybe becuase i lack ram, i only have the minimum amount. i wish i could run enhanced contrast because it looks alot bettter than NFSU

Well first of all you need to do a "trial & error". If I were you, I'd put everything to low first. If it seems OK, you proceed 1 step further, like adjusting the color a lil' bit more, and so on and so on, until you get the best setting without slowing the game down.

I have a very good PC (except FX5200

) and I have to switch off the antialiasing and enhanced contrast. The other things at max level and 1024, and the game works very well.

Man, I was SO disappointed when I noticed I can't run everything on max.. My PC is more than enough for it.

I have an AMD 2.4+, 512 DDRAM (400 mhz), Radeon 9500, and I have to turn almost all the advanced effect to their lowest option and run the game smoothly at 1024x768.

How can NFSU2 be this much bulkier than NFSU? They're using almost the same engine. I could run EVERYTHING on max with NFSU. I hope this isn't how the final game gonna work.

yeah same with me i was able to run everything on high in NFSU1 , i bet if i would have 512 more ram , which im planin on buying. i bet i could run enhanced contrast and over bright and AA

I have my settings at 1024x768 and all the other setting on or at high except for light trails. for some reason I can see my car in the menu when i turn it on. lol. my game runs very smmothly with these settings, except when I do a burnout and make a lot of smoke it kinda slows a little. other that that its great.

yeah, u can have no smoke by turning particle system off. what is ur setup??

I have almost the same specs as you, orvnahum_ The only difference is the videocard, I have an GeForce FX 5900XT 128 MB DDR. And I have the same problem as you do. I am pretty sure that the processor is too slow. When I started Windows Task Manager and then started playing the demo, I noticed that the CPU was on 100% almost the whole time, so I'm planning to update my processor + motherboard.

You should format your computer, and add more ram.

disable Light trails!!!!!

I had 800*600, everything low qual but had light trails and motion blur on, I turned light trails off and BAM! it's 3x faster!

I now run the game at 1024*768 with 4x AA (I manually configured it outside of the game), with everything set to high, motion blur on, everything at high qual but Light trails OFF, and it's really smooth!

anyone can say if car windows on NFSU2 are transparent for MX users?
For my GeForce 4 i noticed some window transparency issues.....

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 31 Oct 2004, 00:24

hmm. ill try it with light trails off later

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 31 Oct 2004, 02:13

well, on 1028x768 if i have EVERYTHING off, except ehanced contrast it still slows down... and when i have 800 600 i have almost everything on except like 3 things, vsync, AA at 1, and light trails off... however i wanna play on 1028 768. i think its becuase i lack ram, and im gonna order it soon.

XxAmadaeusxX · Post by **XxAmadaeusxX** » 31 Oct 2004, 02:24

well, i have a Radeon 9800 XT 128MB, 768MB of ram, and 2.17GHz processor

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 31 Oct 2004, 05:10

Schumifreak we have the same card, only that mine is overclocked... i bought it overclocked already (its running at 430mhz instead of standard 390), but i also installed coolbits, which can further overclock the card.. now i think i have it at 450mhz, but im sure with more fans, it could be pushed to 500mhz.... i know ppl who have done it .... the great thing about the 5900 is that it could be pushed pretty hard

Schumifreak · Post by **Schumifreak** » 31 Oct 2004, 14:14

Well I should really try to overclock mine then, I didn't do that yet.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 31 Oct 2004, 15:21

im thinking of overclocking mine, mine is at 250/400, my computer has an auto overclock option, where my computer will over clock my card for the best possible option, im thinking of overclocking it, but i dont wanna destroy it

Well since this game is the sequel, sequels usually have better graphics than their predecessors.

Schumifreak · Post by **Schumifreak** » 31 Oct 2004, 21:33

I don't want to destroy my card either, who does?!

ViperJay · Post by **ViperJay** » 31 Oct 2004, 22:29

me

cause it sucks and I wanna a new one

AngelSiN · Post by **AngelSiN** » 31 Oct 2004, 22:52

Mine is very old,but its still kickass!

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 02 Nov 2004, 17:18

if u over clock ur card. it will also burn up ur mother board

Schumifreak · Post by **Schumifreak** » 02 Nov 2004, 23:11

Yeah I know and I don't wanna do it anymore. I'm planning to buy a new processor, it's less than 2,0 ghz. I never liked the risk of overclocking anyway.
