@NFSFAN - it prolly doesnt matter cause regardless if you set SM 4.0 or 3.0.
in the init.cfg it will remain r.shadermodel 3 even if you set it to 4.0 in game.
@JuggernautOfWar - It was released in NA on 4/15/2009 and if it wasnt... i got my copy 5 days early then
. I also disagree with what you said about seeing a huge difference. You wont. I have played on both 4.0 and 3.0 but no matter which i pick it stays r.shadermodel 3 in the init.cfg like i mentioned above.
