The long-running Need for Speed series has been given a new addition with Need for Speed: Payback. The game is traditionally published by EA, and it is the second in the series that runs on the Frostbite engine. Does that automatically mean that your video card operates at full speed?

Few racing games have such a long history as Need for Speed. The series has never really presented itself as a racing simulator, and with Payback EA is once again making it clear that it is focusing on fun, entertainment and accessibility. In this latest Need for Speed, there is an open game world, which requires the processor and memory performance to load different parts and keep on streaming while you are moving around in the environment which can be quite taxing.
