Can you recommend me a good racing game, that works in Eyefinity. It should be like NFS Underground, I liked it very much back then, but it doesn't work very well for me in Eyefinity.

Grid "sort of" works.

What does that mean in practise? :)

Looks intresting. Been watching movies like Gone in 60s, so I need to a good street racer. :D

I would suggest checking out some of the other Need For Speed titles like Hot Persuit, or possibly GRID which is seems to have a mixture of mainly race tracks and street tracks.

Well the menus are hard to navigate because they are zoomed way in, but the gameplay works just fine. Also, if you have a cpu with hyperthreading, you have to do a little editing in one of the ini files.

Well, there's NFS Underground 2 :!: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/
Burnout Paradise and... Streets of Moscow also work great, no hacks needed.

I dont know if you would consider it a racer or not but its a total blast and its on the streets.

Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box

So fun and perfect multi mon support.


Dirt 2 is also great if you consider dirt roads a street :D

Indeed, Burnout is awesome in multi-monitor. Come to think of it, i haven't played it since bezel compensation came along... and my many hours of playtime was lost when my f*dging hard drive died on me.

Be like Jesus: Save Often.

That Burnout might be good, but NFS2 doesn't look too good in :triplewide and I already have DiRT but it's a whole different racing game. Can you suggest more games?

The new NFS game that just came out is running on the burnout engine so that should be great in Eyefinity.

I don't get what the problem is with the GRID menus. They look fine to me in surround.

they fixed it in one of the patches. If your GRID is not updated with the latest patch the menu will be super zoomed in.

Thanks! I didnt know about the patch fix.

Need for Speed: Shift, Burnout Paradise, all the SimBin games, GRID, Dirt2 and if you're serious about racing get iRacing.

F1 2010 is something I'd actually say DON'T get. It's been a steaming pile of crap and even though they are fixing bugs for it, there are still more bugs and issues than is worth dealing with.

nfs hot persuit is great!

F1 2010

NFS: Shift

Dirt 2

These are the three that I play. NFS: Shift has really grown on me. Shift is like a 65/35 sim/arcade ratio IMO. I never play Grid anymore.

I'm with the OP there on the street racing game. One of the parts of NFS Underground I liked the best was just free driving around the highways and streets. I don't really remember how it worked but I do remember thinking the street racing against other drivers system could be improved, and that it would be great if you could be online and just start racing other players right there on the street. I don't remember what I didn't like about it though and I'm probably getting different nfs games mixed up in my mind. Does anyone know of a street racing mp game that dosen't take you to "instanced" racing events when you want to race another player?
