For all you racing fans out there, this test is for you and will represent the Racing game category in our benchmarks.
From the graphics point of view the first thing you'll notice in the game is the excellent amount detail of your racing car. High resolution textures on the car and lighting make it quite impressive. All the eye candy such as the sun reflection in the virtual camera are still the same as the older CM versions but motion blur has been added when your card hits something hard which will happen most often if you're new to the racing simulation world.
To measure performance on the game we used fraps to get the average fps of the whole 8th stage of UK which is actually the only stage you get to play on the demo.
Higher frame rates for the P5ND2 SLI Deluxe board with the Intel CPU. As was the case with Thief 3, at 1600X1200 with Anisotropic filtering and Anti-Aliasing enabled, the two boards reported similar performance, probably because the VGA cards have reached their limits.
