The lovely-looking racer can use a DX11 path for (slightly) improved visuals. Still looks great via DX9, though.

Benchmarks





DX11


The single GTX 480 is fast enough to render the game at smooth speeds all the way up to 2,560x1,600. Limited by the subsystem at lower resolutions, two cards pull another 52 per cent performance at the highest-resolution setting and almost 90 per cent with DX11.

Percentage faster/slower Single GTX 480
1,680x1,050 6.6
1,920x1,200 17.8
2,560x1,600 51.8
2,560x1,600 DX11 87.2
