NFS Carbon NX 1.1.0 (Standard Edition)

Needs your own game files and a CPU overclock (CPU 1428 / GPU 768 / memory 1600 MHz).

What's new

• ⚡ Faster game code: 13 to 17% less render-thread CPU, 5 to 10% less CPU overall, 1 to 3.5% more FPS, fewer audio drop-outs
• 💾 Less memory in long sessions: about 2.4 GB instead of 2.7 GB after 48 minutes
• 📄 Easier reports: every log names the build that wrote it

Known issues

• Flickering shadows in race wars (many AI cars): black patches for a few frames, cause unknown
• Audio crackle for a few seconds at a heavy race start
• Rare 1-second pause: vulkan_vma_block_mb = 0 restores the old memory behaviour
• Achievements not confirmed

If you send an issue report, I will address it.
