    Of course, right after posting my question, I've found a solution. I suspected a problem with the brightness / contrast / gamma adjustments I had made earlier.

    • Change the following lines:
    • Brightness=0
    • Contrast=0
    • GammaRamp=0.990
    • Save the file and run NFS Most Wanted

    I haven't touched the brightness / contrast / gamma controls in-game after that, and it now looks absolutely stunning!

I've noticed exactly the same thing on a different setup: Windows 8.1 and a NVidia Geforce 570 GTX (driver 337.88)

Any help would be appreciated!

    That did the trick! Took much longer to boot up I noticed but once I was in the haze was gone! Many thanks, EA support was of course clueless 🙂
