NFSU2 is the latest in the Need For Speed
range, as well as being a whole load of fun to play, graphically
the game is excellent. There are various nice road/environment
effects and light/reflection features that make the game
very demanding. Our tests were run with all graphics options
set to maximum in game.

In the second of our driving game tests
we have to set the resolution a little lower due to how
demanding this particular game engine is. At 1024x768
2aa 8af both cards were just below playable settings however
turning off AA/AF provided a much better experience.
On the X700 the framerates were much more consistent than
the 6600, however other than one section with a high level
of tyre smoke when the frame rate on the 6600
dropped to 21, both cards delivered a playable experience.
