The minimum frame rate is obtained during a scene where a spectacular explosion encompasses the entire screen. The XFX 8800 GT XXX performs admirably at such high resolutions, even when Anti Aliasing is applied.

This is one game where the game settings of the XFX 8800 GT XXX may have to be a notch below max for the player to have a truly fluid gaming experience. In high speed racing games, I tend to favor scaling back the graphical effects to focus on providing a smoother and jitter-free ride as I tended to notice the few instances when the frame rate dropped into the low thirties with the eye candy maxed.
