1.0.8 Laptop Performance

[Falkerz]

Ok. This time, running 1.0.8, I ran each of the 3 race tracks, using the same settings, for one whole race, to gauge performance. I measured it purely through watching the FPS counter in the speedometer, and averaging the values. Since my laptop has been re-installed with Windows 8 and had a new motherboard, it seems that I've got a notable performance improvement. Of course, all the optimisations that are being made certainly help as well...

GPU: AMD Radeon 8730M (Driver version 13.250.31.0)
