How to force Anti-Aliasing in NFS Hot Pursuit (PC)?
OS: Windows Xp sp3
Graphics Card: nVidia 9800gt
Best Answer
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit does not offer Anti-Aliasing on its own, but you can override AA from within your graphic cards driver software (Control Panel for NVidia cards).
This has been working for NFS:HP for NVidia cards since the 266.44 driver.
Definitely; the differences between the cars isn't as obvious as more sim-oriented games like FM3 or NFS:Shift, but they do handle/drift/accelerate noticeably differently; there were a couple challenges I couldn't get past until I unlocked a higher powered vehicle.
I'm running the game fine on my Alienware M11x with an Intel U7300 at 2x 1.73Ghz with
4Gb RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M at maximum resolution and full details, so I don't think it's your processor/RAM/motherboard.
But when I first installed the game, I had bad problems with FPS drops. It was like the game nearly stopped (2FPS or less) every 60 seconds, and after a few seconds more, everything was fine again.
So I started to diagnose the system (quite like proposed by blesh) and found a Windows service that detects performance, and from there worked out the solution. It sounds strange, but works on a M15x as well! It seems the scan for available access points is what causes the game to lag, especially when you're not connected.
