Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 Settings (PC)

Don't put any settings at all, the game doesn't run well it has terrible console port and the performance is 0%!!!

It's not that horrible. Most annoying console leftovers are frame limiters, and game won't use 100% of your PC. I have c2d @3.3ghz and gtx460, game runs well with simple shadows and high res textures. Too bad that game won't use more than 50% of my cpu, my gfx card isn't loaded past 40% too, yet occasional frame drops occur now and then.

Reflections seem to hurt the framerate most. So setting that to medium or low should give you the best boost in fps. Light scattering can cause framerate issues when driving through the tunnels. Disabling headlight shadows might help too.
