Dan van Tweak3D heeft een aantal NFS4 tweaks gepost:
I was playing around with the demo a bit more and I made a few observations. In my opinion, it looks cooler to disable car chrome (as well as shading). Set the Special Effects to low or off, and it will lower the detail of the smoke. Smoke is probably the #1 cause of slowdown during Need for Speed III and High Stakes.If you use regedit (Start, Run, regedit) and look at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed High Stakes Demo\ you can find some more registry keys to tweak. Although I couldn't tell the difference, you could try changing the resolution here. It is the key called Thrash Resolution. Try changing the value to 1024x768 or your liking (Like I said, I couldn't tell if this actually worked). Also you can enable Triple Buffering by setting the value to 1 instead of 0. I didn't see a performance difference from this, but if triple buffering truly is enabled, it should give a slight boost.
Ik zit hier nu niet op m'n eigen pc en heb daarom niet kunnen checken of die resolutie registry key effect heeft. Ik ben bang van niet (als je in de NFS4 Demo dirs rond snuffelt dan zul je daar een paar files tegenkomen met '640' in de filename, zou kunnen dat de demo daarom alleen op 640x480 loopt).
