Revision OS CPU GPU Result Tester
3.0-201 Windows Vista x86 Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHz ATI X1300 Pro I'm unable to find the XAudio2 backend at this time. Shading and light kind of takes away the textures. Seriously slow at around 15-30 FPS with all backends except Direct3D 11, which of course, is just slower. Doubled-revolutions
3.0-201 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i5-2410M @ 2.3GHz nVidia GeForce GT 525M I'm unable to find the XAudio2 backend at this time. Grand Prix may slow down with more racers, but Time Trials work just fine, but they too have a problem. The screen looks odd. Doubled-revolutions

^r7482 Windows 7 x86 Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 3GHz nVidia GeForce 9500GT Works fine, but it's still pretty glitchy. Mario Kart Wii works way better, which is kind of ironic. Rafaello Fareday
^r7484 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i5 750 nVidia GeForce GTX 260 With DirectX11 perfect but bad performance with DX9 TingPing
^r7574 Mac OS X 10.6.7 Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 @ 2GHz ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT Fully playable Arzhur
