Widescreen Gaming Forum

Maybe it's not worth a new topic, but I just had to trumpet the fact that my favorite racing game ever (NFS: Shift) is running very well at 5040x1050 and with latest drivers/hotfix/patch 1.02/EDID workaround.

The key turned out to be disabling Crossfire. While it works incredibly well in non-Eyefinity, it causes massive slowdown in Eyefinity mode.

What's great is that it's probably just a bug that will get fixed. Then I will hopefully be able to enable some AA. But it looks pretty amazing even with noAA.

Awesome :rockout

PS - How can I take a screenshot at 5040x1050? FRAPS just gives me the left half of the screen.

FRAPS works fine for me, i post some 5040x1050 screenshots of this game in september :

Ain't it awesome?!

Now if someone would only help me to get NFS Carbon to work right. It's the only NFS I currently own. :wink:

How about NFS Undercover? That game doesn't seem to get much love here it is not even in the master list, but it is a blast with a motion chair.

I finally got it to work at 7680x1600 in windowed mode and Eyefinity provides the correct aspect ratio. It would be better if I could get it to work in full screen mode but the usual editing of the resolution in the registry doesn't have an effect for some reason.

Yes :rockout

my favorite racing game ever (NFS: Shift) is running very well at 5040x1050 and with latest drivers/hotfix/patch 1.02/EDID workaround.

Hi :)
What is this EDID workaround that you speak of?
I run it with 5870 @ 5760x1200 / 2xAA / rest max.
I am ok with how the game works but stutter that i get every time the cars make contact is very distracting. Do you get those?
