Was wondering if anyone knows a fix to this, I got Shift 2 the other day, only got round to installing it yesterday and it started out OK but this game is laggy as hell, especially on the night courses. Ive applied the new patch (1.0.1.0) but its not much difference, my setup is:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
700W OCZ ModXStream Modular PSU
ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO USB3
AMD Phenom X6 1055T @ 3.85GHZ
MSI GTX 460 HAWK TwinFrozr 1GB @ 900/1800/1880
2x2GB DDR3 RipJaws 1600mhz
750GB Sata Hard Drive
Ive read a few posts from google people having similar problems with GTX 580 and other beefier cards, but this is a joke Shift 1 was smooth as hell. I can run most other games maxed out (AA is usually the only option I have to turn down depending on game).
Im running it at 1920x1080 resolution, using the latest Nvidia drivers (270.61). Ive tried turning shadows to low, and AA off - still laggy.
This is really annoying, I lost the mood for gaming and Im trying to get interested again, Shift 2 seems way better than the 1st but its choppy and FPS keep dropping.
Anyone else got or had these problems, have a solution for me to try?
Cheers
