Tried it a bit just now.

It starts in Eyefinity on the first run.

Menus are all centered and on the middle screen.

HUD is all on the middle, no speedo's getting tossed to the far left or right corners.

FOV looks correct.

A bit choppy but the default was everything set to "high" and 8x fsaa. Average fps on single 5870 was 40. Dropping to 4x should make it jump.

Basically perfect eyefinity integration. How you wish every game worked.

It uses the Dirt 2 engine its basically the same performance as Dirt 2 and works well in eyefinity for me also.

I'll be waiting to get this on the 24th, looks like a laugh.

Just a shame that a UK company (Codemasters, Birmingham) releases the game world wide before it releases it in the UK - this is what causes people to pirate software!

anyway, really glad to hear that it works well on a 5870 in SLS, so my 5850 Xfire should do more than 60fps - good times.

This is depressing. With 5760x1080, the game looks fine with a centered HUD. But with bezel compensation the HUD is messed up.

Edit: Fixed it by altering the bezel compensation. I also got the FOV changed, so now it looks so much better.

I simply cannot wait to try this on the Eyefinity setup! :mrgreen:

I wonder if I will need to update to a Core i7/AMD equivelant to run this well. I can run DIRT2 on max everything fine, so I am hoping I will be ok. An update is only a matter of time anyway, surely.

F1 2010 uses the same graphics engine as Dirt2 so what ever performance you get in Dirt2 should be very similar to what you will get in F1 2010

Yeah, it plays fine. I turned it down to 2x fsaa and it's nice and smooth.

Great on Eyefinity, haven't found any issues except for what looks like z fighting on a texture in the garage at the extreme far left, unsure that it's an Eyefinity problem.

One issue I have found extra, I should add:

On the higher view, where I prefer to drive from, the camera angle is too far rearward or too low, and you get part of what I assume is the airbox coming through into view that looks very weird.
