I'm stuck at 30-40fps on my GTX 970 with most settings turned down

That sucks, since the latest patch I'm running ultra @ 1080p and getting 50-60fps most of the time.

GTA V gave me much better performance out of the box though.

How strange - is that 50-60fps in the city too?

I'll have a play later, I've not done much with the graphics since launch and kept finding my FPS dipping from 60 to 30 so locked it to 40fps. That's at 2x MSAA too.

The pop-in can be a bit weird I accept but the shadows for me look nice and move well and realistically along with foliage.

I have no idea why it would look so bad to you.

No it drops to 40s in the city, anisotropic is set to 16x and msaa is set to 8x and everything set to ultra.

Shadows look bad, unless my game is broken. They look jaggy and weird in the rainforest.

Realistically? They update in visible increments, it looks horrid and is easily visible in forested areas;p

Still won't run for me. First run (on a cold boot) it reaches the title screen 'Press Enter/A to Continue' freezes and then CTD.

Continued attempts to run the game this boot cycle usually crash out at the Playground Games logo but sometimes just throws up a black screen after the initial splash screen.

Tried all the fixes I can see online and now lost as to what I try next!

@Psymonkee - nvidia gpu? Only ask as I bought game weekend gone, installed game and in first 5 minutes got ctd.

Installed latest nvidia driver and all good

Yeah. Just done the latest drivers and still nothing! A few others on Reddit are suffering too though

Are you using Avast?

Transparently the game doesn't get on with Avast at all.

Psymonkee · 17 Oct 2016 at 17:28

No just Windows Defender. Not the best I know

bemaniac · 17 Oct 2016 at 19:38

ok that patch i just got is making ultra 4k possible on a single 980ti. That is the single greatest optimisation job ever seeing as microsoft force no sli on us. 40-60 fps and now not feeling jittery. Like the smoothest non 60fps game I've ever played. I'm not on the latest nvidia driver but the XXX.90 ones before because the latest ones are gash for forza 3 h. There are no other games that look like this that I can run ultra on 4k on a single 980ti

The drifting XP glitch is much much easier and quicker. Though I kinda wish I never done it.

I've set up a three lap blueprint and ran the Goliath four times in different cars last night.

Very enjoyable actually, lots of CRs and XPs

Sargatanas2511 · 18 Oct 2016 at 08:10

I enjoy doing 3-5 lap Goliath runs too in anything from D class old cars up to S2 class monsters. It's a good opportunity to get more of the photos done too.

chris4652009 · 18 Oct 2016 at 08:30

Obviously no one on here has been cheating, right.....

I will never understand why people take games so seriously that they need to use cheats like that. Win at all costs, even on something that doesn't matter eh.

chris4652009 · 18 Oct 2016 at 09:51

Thank you Forza, one of the best sounding cars in the game

Sp00n · 18 Oct 2016 at 09:56

Agreed Chris, C63 is my favourite cruiser, sounds so filthy :cool:

Ps. anyone got the Mclaren P1? Is it worth buying for £1.3m?

I fancy a hyper car and was massively underwhelmed with the Lambo Aventador's handling. Is there a better option than the P1?

Ta

Better off fully modding a Clio Williams with AWD, I'm blitzing everything with it xD

Sargatanas2511 · 18 Oct 2016 at 10:49

The FXX K I would imagine would handle better than the P1 but I personally haven't used either so can't confirm this.
