13 - Colin McRae 05

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 of detail on 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 car 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.

In this game the NX6600GT cannot challenge any of the other cards in terms of performance. Still, the framerates are more than enough to enjoy the game even at the highest resolution.

Unfortunately framerate smoothness in game for the NX6600GT is lost at 1280x1024, albeit the average fps was more than 25.
