Game Menu and Settings

The first menu you see after you create a user profile is the main menu. From here you can select the various game modes, go to options page, and use your PC’s online capabilities to go head to head against the world of Need for Speeders. For right now, we will worry about the options since this is an optimization guide. Select options and your screen should look like so...

Select “Options” to the right.

Then select “Display”.

Then go to “Configure Graphics Card”.

Finally click on “Customize Display Menu”.

Here’s where we need to do some explaining…

As you see from the pictures above there are alot of configurable variables, even before you get to the where you are customizing display properties. For this article we will use 1024x768 as our resolution (which I hope all of you are using at minimum), with detail settings set to default. We want to be playing with the best possible picture at a decent resolution.

So now that we have all the basics out of the way, let’s show you what each of those settings under the Customize Display Settings Menu do. For this part of the article, I will breakdown each of the Settings in detail, let you know what they do, tell you what
performance hit to expect, if any, and show you screenshots of these settings so you get a better understanding and see for yourself. And after all of this good stuff is said and done, I will give you my recommended settings for this game for several popular video cards from ATI and NVIDIA to get the most out of this game.
