Hmm about 20 for me .... shouldnt be a fragmentation problem since its a fresh install and I just did that last week.

Even a fragmented file doesnt make that big of a diffrence.

Maybe something to do with running 1920x1080?

What loading ? the longest load i get is around 10 to 15 seconds max lol and then i can drool as its just the best colin game ever 8)

Paddy i made the screenshot again but now without that shadow m8 . Maybe thats better for u yes ?

I got choppy loading screens - last 2 of them are choppy (those stat screens). Than the game loads, and the performance on 8800GTS is not so good, i got it on 1680x1050, medium details, 2xAA and i got 20-30fps. I guess, there will have to be new cards (Nv Gf9xxx..) sold this year, as current generation does not handle higher resulutions (8800GTS-1680x1050, 8800GTX-1920x1200) very well. Is it time for SLI or new christmass gift (gf9...)? I hope, we will see better performance in a full games (DIRT, lost planet, next nfs, crysis etc.). I hope, that single 8800GTS will be enough for 1680x1050 for at least one year :-)).

I have an 8800GTS and run Dirt in the same res, but I get 30+ fps with everything on high. Do you have the 320MB or the 640MB? I have the 640 and that might be the difference. I also have 4gig or RAM.

I fixed the issue with loading.

One of 2 things had to fix it.

I went from 1920x1080 res to 12x7 and I turned the wind effects off (the default for medium) vs on wich was custom.

I went from those nearly 2 minute load times to very short ones.

It has to be a bug in the game, no way should it make that great of a diffrence.

I JUST got a new system together. As much as I want to race it, I will pass on account of Starforce. Not taking any chances!

My rig wouldn't even come close to running it with all the settings pegged, but even with everything at medium it looked fantastic. But, the controls are horrible. There's like a full second delay between input and reaction.

After playing Ricard Burns Rally and GTR2 it is definitely arcady. It could still be fun if they get those controls fixed. :roll: But, with Starforce I may have to pass.

Just the opposite with a controler, controls are over done. Instead of a delay, just .00001 seconds on the analog stick and your pulling a 180.

That is exactly what I have found ... too sensitive ... :roll:
