The car isn't in the Beta so I don't see how it would be leaked on YouTube. Oh wait, I was wrong :eek:

To all the people who received Beta codes from this competition, there is another Beta test on this entire weekend. Friday 12pm GMT through to Monday 12pm GMT (noon)

As previously mentioned there is another Beta Test for everyone on this weekend (IGN and Great Wall of China people included). Start - Friday 29 Oct @ 12pm (noon) GMT End - Monday 1 Nov @ 12pm GMT

Nice signature :p

Are you asking me or Scoob? ;)

I've never been getting up at 5am to test it :confused: I was up til 1am yesterday though :zzz:

Is it a complete joy to drive? If I ever got a higher monthly Internet quota I might consider renewing my account for another month or three.

I like the ZR1 although it would be nice if they used something other than all that plastic. :)

WRC 2010 finally arrived - might check it out on Friday night before breakfast.

I've got Monday off as well (long weekend), so great timing.

I think I know what it is but won't say in case I'm right. :nuts:

Honestly, no I don't. My guess would be Medium settings at a resolution of 1280x1024. You might just get away with High settings with no AA, but the FPS might be less than optimal. I also had a 6200 once. Considering the minimum requirement for TDU was a 6600, it was quite understandable why TDU would play at around 10 FPS at 640x480. The 5450 is obviously much better than the 6200, but not much better than the 8400 GS, which we have already established to be bad for gaming.

Based on the quick searches I've done - it's still only good for Medium quality settings at a medium resolution (i.e. 1280x1024). While I'm not expecting you to be playing Crysis on the PC, these benchmarks show the low FPS rating when playing the game at medium-low settings. The ATi HD 5670 on the other hand scores much better, so I'd happily recommend that.

Default should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited

Thanks for doing us all a favour there :p

That's Baldy You can see Diablo here :lol: Or here. [+] I've gotta say, the graphics (car models inparticular) in those pics look even better than the ones in the Beta on my PC just about. Probably because you haven't crashed yet. ;)

Oh ok - the pedals looked like they were spaced more like the G27 from another angle.

No, an 8400 GS is basically for running two monitors together, not for gaming. The first number in the nVidia model line tells you the series. The 8xxx series is about 3-4 years old now. Then there was the 9xxx series, then the 2xx, and now the 4xx series. The second number indicates how well it performs. x4xx is low-end. You'd be much better off with at least x6xx. I would recommend a 9600 card or better (i.e. 9600, 9800, 260 or higher, or 460 or higher). This, for example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Inno-3D-1024MB-DDR2-GeForce-9800GT-DVI-VGA-HDMI-/280552698765?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item41523e738d I might cost twice as much as the 8400GS but it's more than twice as good and will last you a while, esp if you do most of your gaming on the PS3. As far as gaming goes, the 8400 is no better than the onboard chip you already have (I've borrowed one before and it could only play TDU on the lowest settings).

Or get 7-zip for free (handles pretty much everything) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z465.exe

Did any of you guys use that Logitech G27 in the background?

That's good :D

This must be the only place where that is a good thing :lol:

Hi Scoob - can you check your PM and get back to me please :p

Very nice, but is that Photoshopped/edited?

Jazzi got to go, so you only have to be realllllllly good friends with one of the staff members. Sponge and Mellors are taken already, though :nuts: Don't even think about asking me :evil:
