NFSU2 has one hell of a demanding engine, luckily with everything maxed out the game does look phenomenal and its with these settings that we’ve tested our cards. Looking at 1280x960 first we see that the 6800GT struggles to get playable framerates, the drop to 19fps was due to smoke from tyres and in normal gameplay min fps was around 22-25fps. Moving up to 1600x1200 with every setting maxed and we see that the X800XL comes in with playable framerates throughout where as the 6800GT is even on average fps, unplayable.
