"They'll have to strategically figure out the pit stops, when to buy the fuel, what tyres to drive on. "
I stopped reading it then. Never mind about next years game...what about finishing this one..
Each to their own bud. I'm about to laugh off F1 2010 as well. Your not alone. Going to try out Netkar while waiting for rFactor 2
Little off topic sorry but been playing rfactor mod 1991 F1 Historic Edition sounds brilliant and plays great also 2006 mod is lovely.
Well I tried this again now theres the benchmark tool, conclusive proof that my processor aint fast enough for this game.
Set on ULTRA 4xFSAA
Set on Ultra Low on FSAA
Given that this game runs on a 360 better than this, which is much less powerful than my pc, this really is poorly optimised on this platform. Its a shame as Grid and dirt2 run really well. perhaps next time codemasters will spend more time coding and less on daft developer diarys.

what about running it at 1280x720 with no AA or AF?.... as thats all a 360 can do?

Got this today. Running on 5970 Eyefinity at 5760 X 1200.. Runs lovely during races etc. The only thing that miffs me is if i clip the side of the track, the game seems to freeze a bit then go back to normal? Anyone know how to stop it doing this? - Smooth as the rest of the time. play it with no aids, full manual on a G25 and TrackIR5 - Its a fun game!
Well redone at 1280x720 I get 41fps avg 33fps min with everything at its lowest setting and 28fps avg 23fps min on everything set to ultra.
Basically it maked no difference what I do with the graphics this game is entirely cpu limited on my system. I wonder if they tested it on anything less than a quad core cpu?
Really enjoying the game post fix, and thankfully I haven't had any problems (crashes/slow downs etc...). One thing I did notice yesterday which is a bit strange and funny, when in the practice sesssion the other cars slow down and move aside quite nicely. As soon as you're past them however, they speed up and try to get past. If they do, they then slow down and let you pass, again

ultra is much higher than what the xbox has.
remember this game has been "downgraded" to run on consoles... they could have run much higher res textures on the pc.
Soldato
I don't know anything about your cpu, the E6600, other than it's 2.4Ghz. But you may be right, maybe that's the bottleneck. Because your graphics card is better than mine and my benchmark score is higher. My system has a dual core cpu. Phenom II x2 550 @3.1Ghz, and my card is a 4870, a generation down from yours. But my scores at high and ultra at 1920 x 1080 with everything maxed and 8 x MSAA are these:

The AI is a bit ham shank. Its also way too easy on the highest difficulty. I have resolved my gfx problem... Now running eyefinity @ 5760X1200 ultra/maxed detail settings smooth as butter - Its simply awesome!
Hmmm yes 'buying your own fuel'. Maybe work on the career for F1 2011 as the 'be the driver' didn't really work first time around..
I could list a whole number of features that most would like to see, F1 2010 is a good starting point, but F1 2011 needs to be 'much' better if they want to win back jaded F1 2010 players...
for me, its the only 2010 season F1 game out there that doesn't need massive modding. so I'll continue with it, but I do hope for better next time around...
I do however wonder if they'll ever patch the PC version to optimise the performance as it clearly could run better if only codemasters worked on it a bit more...

The game worked fine before the patch grr 
From installing the patch earlier the game has crashed 4 times, failed to start 2 times crashing even before it opened.
I've almost completed the game to, 930G out of 1000G only got 3 achievements left its gonna be fun if it keeps crashing

This game makes me want to smash everything into small little pieces.
Start a race, get to the pit stops. Get held in the pits while literally half the field drives past while my engineer shouts "Good pit stop!". Restart the race in anger.
Get to the pit stops and go an extra lap to avoid the above issue. Tap another car while overtaking him and get a penalty.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Have you patched the game? The pitstop bug should have been fixed in the patch, and I haven't experienced it since patching.
Associate
Yeah it's patched. I was 7th when I came into the pits (about 10th if you ignore the cars that already pitted). When I came out of the pits I was 22nd. It might be better then It was but the pit crew are still way too cautious.
Soldato
what are you on about, it's easy to avoid other cars at pit stops, I really do wonder what you're doing.
Ok I'll help, build a gap and request a pit stop, is that too difficult.
Soldato
how many laps are you doing, three

I have literally never had a crash (game) with this game.
