Ridge Racer is another console port with no video options.
Sniper Elite runs great, there is little trick to do FPS boost.

Ridge Racer Unbounded


Another console port with no graphic settings, you can only change anisotropy and resolution.
Runs in 512x384 and 640x400 in 7-12 FPS.
Playable but not fluid, it is laggy.

Not enjoyable.
There are couple of patches (till 1.03) and neither of them added video options.
If bloom, blur and shadows would be disabled, this would run great.

Sniper Elite


Running great, with my settings 22-34 FPS, but it can go more with lower resolutions.

I play with everything low and off, resolution 1366x768 or 1280x720.
Game by default has VSYNC turned on and it can't be disabled from menu,
but if you run game in windowed mode it disables vsync and you get big FPS boost !!

To run it in windowed, right-click game shortcut, select Properties, under Shortcut, in Target
add -windowed on the end

Example. "C:\Programs\Sniper Elite\SniperElite.exe" -windowed

and it runs in windowed with vsync disabled.

Enjoy!
