RTX 2080 Super Project Cars 2 graphics judder

[logicfry]

Hi,

Just done an upgrade on my old computer and hoped that I could whack the graphics up to full with the spec. However in Project cars 2 there is a lot of screen tearing/judder when the view pans left/right with much speed. Tomb Raider seems OK though.

Have read that it's a power hungry game for graphics if you ramp them up but was hoping for more. Is this the game just demanding too much, am I expecting too much from my spec or does it seem like an issue?

spec:
9700k, 16gb ddr4, 2080s, z390 gigabyte gaming. asus 60hz 1080p 1ms screen. connected via hdmi.

wow where did those 5 months go?

Cleaned down drivers, reinstalled a few releases back and worked up the upgrades to current.

Tried v-sync setting in game but it didn't really help. it's still playable but just annoying. Turned the in game AA down to 8x but that didn't help either.
GPU load was only about 35% on full settings.

yeah the old monitor is not a great one. Asus VP278 1080 60hz. connecting via HDMI cable. Time to take it out behind the shed and pull the trigger?

Alarm bells started ringing when i read the 35% GPU usage comment, that is far to low it should be around 97%

Check the power management in the nvidia control panel and set it to prefer maximum performance.

If you using MSI afterbuner then check power limit is set to as high as possible.

I've not been using afterburner or anything else so far but will fire it up to make sure, thanks.

Personally, I stopped playing the game. The physics used is broken in default setups and the cars have a tendency to spin out on particular corners on each track no matter what you do. You have to use setups that defy normal setups to keep that from happening.

Then there is simulated weather effects that change track conditions. Which can cause complete instability. I'm talking going from hot and sunny to hot and partly cloudy. It don't take much.

All of this was discussed on their forums a year or 2 ago. And it was promised to be fixed but never was.

The game is gorgeous but the driving experience is horrendous as it will act up without warning spinning you off the track until you find that magic setup for that car.

ACC is miles better in this regard if you are on PC. Not on console at this time though. 30fps is a no no.
That's were GTS comes into play as the alternate.

PS.
Jitter, etc. comes into play if your cpu has issue using AVX or you are not using the pc2avx.exe file...I forget the name (pc2.exe). That pc2.exe also causes stutter in game as the game needs avx.

I'll look for the other .exe see if that helps. thanks.

Agreed that Assetto Corsa is way more of a sim, got that and the newer ACC too and enjoy both. It seems a shame that PC2 has these issues.
