I will wait until my new system is in place before I start trying to get adventurous with the newer games coming out.
Cheers!

I keep crashing my system when I run it at 5760 X 1080??? I guess I need to turn down some eye candy if I am going to run triple screens. |

I had the settings cranked up a lot more, but with framerates well below 20 it was largely unplayable.
When I installed the latest build they nicely reset the mess I had made back to what I posted above.
These settings above seemed to generally be good for little over 30fps on the new tracks, some of the older tracks seem to suffer a bit more.
At 30fps it is playable, just not always smooth, sometimes jittery or lag. I need to try overclocking my system to see if that helps much otherwise will need to play with these settings to get the fps back up.

I could not get decent frame rates in the DX 9 version, even with the eye candy turned down, and so I switched to the DX 11 version and it did give me a solid 30-35 FPS. Whats up with that? Does DX 11 better utilize more powerful hardware, such as a quad core CPU and/or SLI'd GPUs? |

OK, I may have to try this. Get ready for your system to kick and scream. Even with a Core i5 2500K CPU and dual 560tis, my system gets 30-35 FPS at 5760 X 1080 and moderate eye candy. It runs better in DirectX 11 than 9 for me. When I finish playing, my GPU temp is usually 70-75 degrees celsius. |

Yeah, I'm watching for the high-end 5-series cards to start dropping in price once the 6-series hits the market.
