Game description: In Need for Speed: Most Wanted, you can try to become the most notorious street racer alive. Outrun both racers and cops to increase your reputation and move up the street racing blacklist. You can choose from a variety of vehicle types and destructible urban maps featuring shortcuts, traffic, and patrolling police. Need for Speed Most Wanted also includes online play for challenging other gamers.
Race around an open world environment and avoid the cops. The formula of this game is somewhat of a blend of Need for Speed: Underground and Hot Pursuit.

1.2.1 (r5873) | GSdx 0.1.16 (r5875) |

Renderer: Direct3D10 (Hardware). Game has noticeable frame rate dips of 15 FPS/slowdown no matter what the video setting and renderer. BIOS v 2.0 was used. | Zrooney |
| PAL | Windows 10 64-Bit |
|
1.5.0 (dev-1867 g5751e38) | GSdx 1.1.0 |
|
Renderer: Direct3D11. You need a v1.5.0 git build to run it properly (even on default settings), as the stable releases run it horribly slow. | VoidX |
| PAL | Windows 10 64-Bit |
|
1.5.0 r2567 | GSdx 1.1.0 DirectX9 |
|
Quite demanding. DirectX9 Hardware mode (slightly) above full speed, lowest speed (at unlocked fps) is ~110%, highest ~150%. OpenGL Software mode goes down to ~75% in the worst case, but not required, said Direct9 Hardware has no noticed problems. | LeRutY |

|
1.7.0-20210206154110 (64-bit alpha build) | GSdx-64 1.2.0 AVX2 |
|
Very demanding game. CPU usage rakes up to 80-85% in main menu. High CPU and GPU usage also happens during racing events, FPS drops a few during staring the race. Requires strong 4 core CPU in order to emulate this game (Recommended 6 core and above CPU). MTVU hack must be enabled at all times. | amirzaim |

v1.7.0-dev-1907 | GSdx |

Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Since I have a slightly weak processor, I decided to use speedhacks to improve the stability of this game. The game runs at 1440p (2K), 60 FPS, without brakes, bugs and freezes (Same as Need for Speed Carbon). | Chern40+7 |
| NTSC-U | Windows 10 64-Bit |

No noticeable bugs. Plays fine, framerate is solid. | Hemporus01 |
| NTSC-U | Windows 11 Pro 22H2 - 64bit |
|
v1.7.5244 | Vulkan | Default | EE cicles: 300% - Internal Res: 4k, game runs fine, no noticeable bugs, framerate is solid, but its kind of blurry due to the motion blur used by developers when racing, been through the whole career just fine. | Daniel Souza |
