I'm well pleased. With high settings in time trial I was getting 41fps average. Though my benchmark shows 41 with high and ultra, in time trial now, with ultra, I'm averaging 51fps. \o/ Not as high as some others here, but good enough.

Crossfire 5770s here and I can definitely say that something wrong has happened. My frame rate is slow as hell.
Anyone else with crossfire experienced this?

 

[Cavallino]

Ok I think I cracked it, but my results are:

Average: 43fps, Minimum: 38fps, Samples: 5478

But Im running a crossfire setup, and the results are not much higher than the post above (whos running a 4870 according to his post).

Any thoughts?

So is this game actually any good now they've patched it? I heard all sorts of horror stories related to really poor implementation of the AI and the rules of racing.

min 84 avg 95 all on max, cat AI off. 1920x1200 5870@950

Does Cat AI make a difference to fps?

I'll run it again.

Just installed the patch....the game is unplayable.
The sound has been messed up for me now. It sounds like im driving in a tunnel no matter what settings i use or what track i'm on.

This is getting a bit stupid.

 

[barmyllama]

GFWL sucks big hairy dogs ***k, I sign in online then it tells me it can't download the patch because I am not online.

What gives man?

This is the last game I ever buy with GFWL attached to it.

Hmm see that probably sounds more like it to me. It seems this game doesnt like crossfire setups and a 5770 is about 50-60% performance of that of a 5870. So an average of 61.6 vs my average of 43 sounds about right... as far as I can see.

I think the lastest drivers with hotfix has fixed proflies for f1 in xfire.

Tried it, doesnt seem to make a lot of difference tbh.

 

[Merlin5]

Yeah Cavallino, that's from the setup in my sig, with a single 1GB HD4870.
I've just run the bench again after a reboot. Interestingly, the avg fps is now higher, and the minimum fps for ultra setting is now 36 where before it was 23

.


The Post Process setting in the games graphics tab will not stay on High, it, defaults to Medium. But it will stay on Ultra, so my benchmarks are with Ultra Post Processing for both my High and Ultra detail settings. Someone on racedepartment flagged the same issue and it's to do with the patch.

I'm going to go back to DX9, I'm having problems with shadows and sudden frame rate drops in Australia and Kuala Lumpur for no apparent reason. Going around these tracks I have a frame rate in the 40's but then suddenly on the last few corners of each track it drops to a slide show then back up once on the pit straight, very strange and difficult to race through.

The shadows are also flashing on/off at random times during a race which seriously puts me off. It seems to get worse the further into a race I get as well.

Anyone else have these problems ?

I get similiar on DX11, i'm fairly sure my card is faulty and has massive issues playing DX10 and 11 games though, so I was expecting it in F1 aswell. DX9 is fine though, just can't be bothered RMA'ing it.

I'll be honest here, my heart just sank when you said it's your card. My card is only 6 months old and I hope it's not that, I don't think it is though because it shows no signs of graphical artefacts in others DX9, 10 or 11 games. Fingers crossed anyway because I really can't afford a replacement.

Download the DX11 Heaven benchmark and let that run for a while, if you don't notice anything, your card is fine. I get massive artifacting in that benchmark, you can't miss it if its happening.
