I started this topic by two reasons, First, i'm on the edge of buying a new system and so i would like to have some real performance tests from various hardware system with this game Second, i think that this would be a usefull topic to guys like me that are thinking in buy a new system and want to play this game specifically. System Q6600@3.4ghz 6GB DDR2 961mhz HD 5870 1GB OCZ Agility 3 120GB Windows 7 X64 Benchmark procedure 1- Use a replay that you can download here 2- Set cockpit camera to Ronald Lee (last car on grid) 3- Click play, turn on Fraps benchmark setting, click Enter to Go fullscreen 4- Let it finish near chicane on second lap and stop fraps. Note: I used 1680x1050 because in our days i think that is a resolution that must of player can have Full detail View attachment 3057 Min- 22fps Avg- 31.781fps Max- 44fps Playable settings View attachment 3058 Min- 42fps Avg- 63.789fps Max- 91fps Please post your results. The difference that i'm more interested to see is between GTX 680 and HD7970 ______________________________________________________________________________ Edit 1: Intel Pentium G840 @ 2.8hgz 8GB DDR 1333mhz GTX 560 1GB Full detail Min- 34 fps Avg- 43.012 fps Max- 51 fps GTX 560 is 35% superior to HD 5870 1GB _____________________________________________________________________________ Edit 2: i3-2120@3.3GHz 8GB DDR3 1600MHz 8800GTS 512MB XP PRO SP3 32 bit Full Settings Min - 1 fps Avg - 6 fps Max - 17 fps _____________________________________________________________________________ Edit 3: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 970 Video: AMD HD 6950 2 GB Memory: 8 GB DDR2 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit Full detail Min- 21 fps Avg- 31.955 fps Max- 49 fps Very similar to my system _____________________________________________________________________________ Edit 4: CPU: 3930K Video: GTX680 2 GB Memory: 16 GB DDR3 Motherboard: Intel DX79TO OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit Full detail Min- 67 fps Avg- 87.162 fps Max- 122 fps 174% superior to my system _____________________________________________________________________________ Edit 5: CPU: Q6600 @3.0ghz Video: AMD HD 6970 2 GB Memory: 4gb Dominator 1066 DDR2 Full detail Min 27 Max 40 Avg 34.168 Playable Test @ requested resolution Min 25 Max 69 Avg 62 7% superior in Full detail than 5870. 2.8% slower in Playable Test than 5870 (probably because some stuttering of HDD compared with my ssd)
This seems a little pointless in all honesty. The game is in a state of Beta and so will constantly change each build as they add effects etc. Optimisation usually is one of the last things to be done, not to say they are not working now on optimising the sim as they possibly are but as said each build as they introduce new stuff will also introduce problems elsewhere that will need optimising itself. So while some will obviously have alot better performance than you now with better systems, doesn't mean once ISI start optimising you are not gonna see decent performance yourself. Still just upgrading that CPU alone is gonna help you alot Oh and i would take the 680 over the 7970 everytime btw
That's not the point m8, I don't play only this game. Between GTX 680 and HD7970 in average the diference is not higher than 10% in most games but in Rf2 with all this post that we have seen since the beginning i think that the diference is huge, much more than 10% and that is what i would like to check because i'll buy one of them and i play rf2 too. Btw i already play it with decent framerates and quality. Still thinking that this should give me much more but not bad at this point. Just another point, i won't upgrade only GPU but also CPU. My resolution in all game are 5040x1050 and in that scenery i prefer HD7970 because the 10% in favor to nvidia disapear when we increase resolution
Yes i agree and that's what i thought you were asking specifically for rF2. For rF2 and all my sims in general i get better IQ and performance than i have with AMD. I think right now nVidia is the best choice in terms of rF2, it does seem more optimised in general. Pretty sure though that Tim said somewhere they are working closely with AMD to get rF2 working right with their cards. Yes i know you meant both a GPU and CPU upgrade but just the CPU upgrade alone will be a big boost. I remember moving from my QX9650 to an i7 and the difference was fairly impressive.
Funny enough i had your setup and nowi have 965be and a 7970... i will do the benchmark to hopefully justify the investment... but only in a few days.. am pretty busy with real life.... btw: what are the catalyst settings on aa ( adaptive etc..)

I have one question, this open beta has crossfire /sli optimization?? Because with x3 6950 2gb i still have problems with FPS´s, I have a Phenom II X4 3.6@4.0 Triple Crossfire 6950 2gb Corsair Dominator 8gb dual channel 1.866@ 2ghz Asus Formula V And the game was installed in a SSD Crucial M4. I got fps drops... like in 1960´s mod... before the start of the race, my fps drops to 14! Im concerned about that. This is something that will be fixed in the future?
With your recommended settings: Frames, 6804, Time (ms), 212925, Min, 21, Max, 49, Avg, 31.955 With both reflections off, AF @ 8X: Frames, 11008, Time (ms), 212879, Min, 30, Max, 84, Avg, 51.710 Environmental and road reflections make a big difference for me, and I really can't see much difference, especially when driving.

I will post corrected values later in this thread.

Yeah! Wet conditions are looking beautiful in rF2. And Sound is also great, there is even a "splash-sound" if you drive through water on the road.
The idea is to use the settings in the OP to try and get some sort of relative comparison rather than using your 'normal' settings.
