Look here too: http://dcericgamingnews.blogspot.ca/2014/01/dceric-game-preview-need-for-speed-hot.html

That's the ini file: (*rendercaps.ini)
Spoiler
[Graphics]
Fullscreen=1
LimitResolution=0
GammaScale=0.990000
MipMap=1
ScreenModeIndex=16
BDepth=32
ZDepth=24
Stencil=8
Width=1680
Height=1050
[GraphicsFE]
ScreenModeIndex=3
BDepth=32
ZDepth=24
Stencil=8
Width=800
Height=600
So obviously you wanna change under [Graphics] Width and Height to your desired resolution and you are done. !!!
