i recently bought Need For Speed: Most Wanted, for some odd reason the game runs a bit shakey, i have all the graphics boosted to max, BUT even tho everything is maxed out i should still be able to to run the game! while im playin it does not play smoothley, it plays, but u can tell theres a slight chop to it...:confused:
 
I also have this problem.

TBH I think our cards make it slightly lag

Also, depending on how many apps you have running whilst your playing I think a ram upgrade could do you a bit of good, but don't expect the problem to totally vanish.

Try turning AA/AS off and see if it still happens
 
Need For Speed: Most Wanted doesn't need a lot of ram, 1GB is enough.

Try to update the game, and or turn AA off.
Also, update your video card driver from nvidia website
 
Yeah... im running it on the PC in my sig and have found that after playing it for and hour or so, things just suddenly go pixelated. The powerlines that hang across the street look like lines drawn in MS Paint instead of a smooth rendered cable.
If i quit the game then re open it a few minutes later its all back to normall.

what requirements would you need 2 play this game good?

You can find the requirements here http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/needforspeedmostwanted/download.html?sid=6139623

It plays fine on my PC maxed with the exception of Visual treatment (turned down because I hate the yellowish look) and motion blur turned off via registry (if I wanted blur I'd buy a 16ms LCD).

Edit:

I forgot that my system is no longer in my signature...

- Athlon 64 3400+

- 2gb of ram (DDR-400)

- Geforce 6800GT

ok thanks, my cards just a Nvidia Geforce, my card isnt supported?

Well it has to be something more then just "Nvidia Geforce" ;). But your signature does say FX5200 128mb. I'd imaging it is supported, it's older and you will want to run with pretty tame settings.
 
yeahh, i was planning on upgrading 2 a 256MB, or mayb 512, but im wanting 2 get more RAM 1st, then get a better card..

like on lowest/medium setting?
 
I played need for speed undergroud 2 with my old geforce FX5200, I was able to run it on 640x480 on medium setting.
But I never played Most Wanted with fx5200, but I think it will run on low setting.
