Think I am going to invest in a g25 next year, anyone picked one up 2nd hand lately, wondering about cost

 

[ShivP]

Forget getting a G25 then, it will have been used so much, just get a used G27

I've just done loads of testing of the graphics options after getting low GPU usage and low frame rates in races only, with 2 GTX 970's in SLI.

I turned every setting off and then tested the game in a race with 24 cars.

I could max every setting and I was getting 99% GPU usage across both cards until I came to change Reflection Rendering Frequency.

Set to static and I can max every other setting in game and get 99% GPU usage across both cards and get between 90-120 FPS at 5760x1080.

As soon as I move the Reflection Rendering Frequency slider from static to very low, or any other setting, I get around 30% GPU usage across each card and about 30-40 FPS.

Leaving it on static and the game runs perfect.

I also found that having High Quality Mirror Reflections ticked can cause very slight pauses in the game instead of being smooth.

I don't suppose you'd be so kind as to post this in the official AC forums. Specifically: http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...-60-drop-in-fps-is-this-to-be-expected.16242/

Would be good to have more people back this up.

Is there any way of increasing the difficulty of the AI in career mode?

When it works, it's brilliant but they've got to sort out the servers. I can't be the only one trying to join and getting told that it's already full.

The first career race with the Abarth, got me a 1:06.799 lap time on lap 3. I can see where I can improve, what's everyone's quickest?

It is possible, have a search on the official forums. Career is fully moddable, including difficulty, number of laps, which tracks to use, etc

No your not.

Devs are aware and have fixed it in the 1.04 update, but it isn't live yet so we just have to put up with it until it is.

The no... currently has G27 cheap and in stock.

They were giving away something worth £70 with it as well.

As above, a new G27 is more of a bargain that a used G25 at the moment

 

[phatboy]

Hmmm shall look into that cheers

Still need to work out why ac hard locks my pc in xfire too

 

[texxx74]

The world of PC's currently has G27 cheap and in stock.

Thank you for the tip. I was considering Thrustmaster RS 500 but for the half of the price of it, logitech is really a bargain. Need to read some reviews of the two to decide.

 

[Rexton]

Any of you guys have an idea when this will have a finished release?

Seems like it's been early access for a while.

 

[ci_newman]

It's on the 1.0 RC at the moment, so a few bugs to iron out and it'll be ready for general release

 

[stephenb]

Will do....

Thanks - much appreciated.

It is less then half price- t500 lacks an H-shifter which is another £100. £150 for a brand new g27 with 3 years warranty is simply unbeatable unless money is no object of course. g27 is plenty good enough for racing and drifting- quick FF, very decent shifter and very good pedals.

 

[teh_captain]

G27 is brilliant. Got it 2nd hand off Gumtree earlier in the year, still boxed hardly used for £150.

There's a post in the iRacing thread about the guy who won the online NASCAR World Championship using an unmodded G27 - it's plenty good enough for the cash.

Yup best place to get it from atm. OCUK don't deal with Logitech anymore.

 

[Matteysan]

Yup agree with the above, Bargin!
