hey guys, i have just recently purchased a game need for speed shift and for some reson when playing on very high settings you can possibly get on the game without and anti-alising and anistroping filtering, it lags for some reason on my system, which i think is kinda wierd as it passes the recommended settings, anyway here is my specs CPU: intel core2quard q9300 (not overclocked)2.5ghz GPU: hd4870 512mb (not overclocked)and ati driver 9.9 Ram: 4gb Operating system: vista ultimate 64bit

What resolution are you running at? I've noticed Shift to be a pretty resource intensive game.

If you check the NFS boards, you'll find there's a lot of other ATI owners having the same problem. The game doesn't communicate with the video drivers as it's supposed to.

Add to that the Vette glitch, bouncing glitch, steering wheel glitch, input lag glitch... and you'll find that 'Shift' is the buggiest NFS game ever released.

Ati is going to release a hotfix in order to resolve the fps issue with this game.
