Don't worry, DF Direct Weekly is still well on track for delivery in a short while, but for now - why not take a (slightly) early look at today's video. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

A hidden 'visual target' graphics setting? What does it do? Alex takes a look at an easy-to-implement mod for PC, where copying and pasting a few XML files in Forza Motorsport opens up enhanced detail settings and adds ray traced global illumination - a feature promised in marketing that never turned up in gameplay in the final release. How do these features improve the presentation? To what extent does it look better... or worse? What about performance? Plus: have CPU and GPU performance in Forza Motorsport on PC improved over our launch review?
