MC Dirt

The best visual for racing game ever created.Of course the usual low/mid range users will flood to forums and curse for months to come, where i will recommend them to go forth and multiply with a console since it will never face such performance/upgrade issue.Other then great visual , this game gives you great variety of gameplay and vehicles to wreck havok in.
Now to the bad point.Physics.From light sports cars to huge lorries, they feel like they are skiing through ice, bumping up and down from the slightest inperfection on the ground.Second is the learning curve of driving in road, dirt, wet road with such huge range of vehicles.The dynamic destruction of the vehicle is not put to good use either, with no obvious affect to your driving in the worst possible damage, except total destruction of course, where you wont be driving at all.
Settings on my humble pc is at 12x9 at minimum 27fps, avg 32fps.
Supersampling=off.This guy is AA,little performance drop of 2-3 fps but no difference for me probably due to my gpu cant do hdr and AA together..but why is there performance drop?
V.sync=off.DUH!
Wind effect=on.no performance drop.CPU limited, caculate particle relative to wind.Finally something for my c2d to do suckers!!
Driver detail=Medium.Driver detail, which you not gonna see much during a match,but carry high perfomance penalty when set to high.
Shadow=medium.Meduim shadow is good enough as it is already soft shadow enabled, with performance hit that my aging card can take.
Particle=High.Have ultra setting, but thats reserved for a 8800.
Trees,foilage,crowd=High.What do you think they do??
Motion blur=off.as usual,blur your screen and gives you ppt slide gaming experience.
Overall, this game is passable, worth your money and harddisk space,but this is definetly not the game that will make you drool and rush to get new hardware to play it.

Japan!And its the very track inital D is racing..
