Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Recommended + MTVU, Automatic Game Fixes, Playable, but requires a powerful GPU (better than mine for sure) or you'll have constant perfomance drops. I had to max out VU Cycle Stealing to get constant 100% speed and that costed me smoothness. Various graphical glitches in Hardware mode. Glitched effects like dust from under tires and glitched lights can be fixed by setting Skipdraw to 5 but this will also remove fog and Depth of Field. | |

Game still has "Sunray" issue but the translucent textures appeared to be fixed. Game runs at a solid 60FPS, only problem was the audio skipping during the opening cut scene.Bios v 2.0 was used. | Zrooney |

1.5.0 r2567 | GSdx 1.1.0 OpenGL AVX2 |

Software mode (set to 2 cores, also no speedhacks, everything is set to default) runs at 60 fps all the time (fixed game speed). | LeRutY |

The game pulls at 1080p (60 FPS), but due to sunlight, the game slows down. For that there were no freezes and bugs! | Chern40+7 |

In software mode levels like coastal parklands will work but as soon as you get into the area with the gas station after the tunnel the fps will drop and go back to normal when you leave. If you want the busted screen normal and no gray line behind the cars choose software mode but be warn of fps dropping. In hardware it will run fast but the busted screen will look black and gray and a gray line will appear behind the cars. (Enable Speedhacks Set EE Cyclerate To 180% And EE Cycle Skipping to Mild Leave Everything else in default it will run fps 60) must having gaming laptop otherwise it wont work fast. | Legendgamer |
