Tried out the demo, runs pretty well with 2xAA 16xAF at 1680 on my rig, though 4xAA reduces the framerate to around 30fps and that's too low for me.
HOWEVER, the handling is absolute pap, so I won't be buying it.

You just need to play with the settings on shift to make it more responsive.
yeah, looking over the ea nfs:shift forums, they say the "balance" slider for over/understeer is backwards. they say it might be a glitch or labeled incorrectly, but to move it all the way to oversteer to improve handling.
also, apparently these settings may help people using game pads
Steering Dead Zone-15%
Accel Dead Zone-10%
Brake Dead Zone-10%
Steering sensitivity-5%
Acell Sensitivity -5%
Brake sensitivity-5%
Speed steering Sensitivity 100%

I tried the demo version, and you can't change the balance slider, though you can change the settings pyro posted, which helps to dumb down the steering but not fix the weird handling model where the car pivots on a point and powerslides at the slightest touch, even at well over 100mph.
I can't speak for the balance setting, does it make the handling more realistic or just more controllable?
The problem with this game for me is that it doesn't do sim very well, but it doesn't do arcade very well either. It's too polished and flashy for a sim, and the handling is obviously miles off, but it's also just too difficult to pick up and play for an arcade racer since the handling is so hard to control.
Perhaps it can be fixed by someone, though the fact that they released the game like this suggests it was pretty intentional, and thus a 'fix' won't be forthcoming from official sources. Glad I tried the demo first I guess.

Cheers for the link,got my free car coming.
The only problem I had with this game is when I swapped out my 88GT for my 4890.when I tried to start the game I got an error saying that Physxloader.dll was missing,so I just went and downloaded the Nvidia physx and bang it woks fine,no issues with with bad framerates either.

the patch has been relesed,i dident play it without the patch so i dont no if i had the problem,but its running smooth as butter on my 4890(1000core,1000mem) P2 940 3.5Ghz and i only have 2Gb of ram,also playing max settings on 1920*1080 i only get tiny stutters in built up areas
the first patch (released last month) only added lan play and mouse support
