Intel Core i7-920 @ 4.00 GHz AMD Radeon HD 5770 x2 (CrossfireX)	0.9.8 r4600	GSdx r4600	SPU2-X r4600m	The game works ok but have graphical issues (blinking menus and in races the cars dont have textures). The sound seems OK, no issues found so far. Is pretty demanding with scaling. Needs powerful CPU and GPU.	H3llRaiser

Texture on cars is corrupt when using Bilinear (Forced), Trilinear (Forced) or Trilinear (Ultra/Slow) texture filtering. The same applies for the Direct3D 9 and 11 Hardware Renderers. Slight memory leak when driving around the track.	CK1
