Well I suck at this game, trying with assists off (aside from gears and line so I can learn the tracks). I can't do more than a few laps without me spinning or the AI taking me out :( Looking forward to practicing more though.

Anyway running this maxed out with v-sync on but the max I'm getting in a race is around 50 FPS I kinda thought I'd get the sweet 60 with my rig. I have lowered AA down to 4 and it makes no difference performance wise to 16x. I'm not keen on lowering graphics settings down further as the game is fairly bland as it is. I wish they take that sunglasses dull filter off asap so dark looking!

Anyone else running it with a GTX 470, are you getting good frames?


Thanks

getting about the same as you with a 460.... game seems bugged for nvidia cards i dont break much over 70% gpu usage the majority of the time.

when im frapsing and fraps limits my fps to 30 and im barely 55% gpu usage so you would think i'd easy make 60fps but something is either wrong with the drivers or the games poorly optimised
 
had an hour on it, but went to Nvidia control panel to see if i could make it "look" better. Well, most of my settings were quite basic actually (ambient occlusion off/AA 4x "application controled", and AA @4x, with texture quality @ High performance.

I upped these to 16AF/16AAQ and set OVERRIDE ANY APPLICATION SETTING. Went back to f1 2020 and it was like looking at a different game altogether - Totally awsome.(singapore track with fireworks is a great show!) and 91 frames constant too. It think the "override" app was the important one.

GTX480 Sli

Whats more, the GPU usage went from 56(ish) to 92 each card:) as for CPU usage, it doesn't use much at all, so its good for mainstrem CPU's i'd say (temps were still in the 30's mid 40's)

Is there anything for ATI cards that do the same?

The only thing that kinda matches that in Catalyst is if you untick the box that says "Use application setttings" in the 3D settings menu. Not tried it though for fear of impacting other games. Will play about with it tomorrow.
 
This is why i got when i put my old 7900GTO in my system



Low GPU usage and only about 70% CPU usage.

Although the high DPC Latency when playing F1 2010 with my GTX260 was gone

Have you tried it with any of the proper racing sims? You'll be blown away. The ffb is a pile a snap in Grid and f1 2010. Try the ffb in iRacing and the latest builds of netkar (I can send you the abarth.exe and you can get he FFord demo online).



<snip>

As before try the physics/handling/ffb combo in some of the rFactor mods iRacing & netkar then you'll experience realism.

Nope not played iracing. You lost me on all the other stuff, you need to keep it simple for a non-techie. Got the rfactor disc bundled with my G27 but not installed it yet. Feel free to PM via TRUST with more details but you'll need to break the process down for me. ;)

Yeah I got that free when I ordered my G27, still not playd it though. Will probably stick to F1 2010 for the time being though. Really getting into this game and have played about 4 hours tonight just testing out all the tracks on time trial. Haven't even had a race or a go in the rain yet though! :)
 
are there cheats out for the game already? Was looking at the time trial leader board and someone has posted a 1:12 for monza which has got to be impossible!!
 
I honestly thought the guys on here complaing about the graphics where exaggerating but they arent :| Mine is supposedly on ultra and it looks awful. There must be something wrong, hell even the ranult decal on the R30 for me looks like its been drawn on by a child.

May be a related issue, I'm sometimes a PC noob, but, how the hell do I get this OFF windowed mode and back to full screen? Steam version btw

Can't see the point in entering career mode till I know all the track layouts. Have only really put in a couple hours at SPA circuit so far due to work constraints. Wouldn't mind trying iracing though. p0ss3s3d has sparked my interest. Would really like to see what this wheel can do.

alt + enter? Not sure it being a steam version would change that.
