I have problem with my rFactor toward the graphic and FPS. My laptop specs are: ASUS Zenbook I5 3317U @1.70 GHz 4.00 GB RAM Dual VGA: Intel HD 4000 Nvidia Geforce GT 620M 1 GB (I use this card for rFactor2) When I check on http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri, my laptop specs are on the middle level of requirement therefore I expect to have low-medium configuration in the perfect condition. The problem is whenever I minimize the graphic details to low-medium when I played about 15 - 30 minutes it became lag between frame which very disturbing during the play. Also it happened during the instant replay. But it didn't occurred when I turn on the AI driving mode. Is there any issue or solution for this?
I believe your cpu is underpowered for rf2. From: http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1056-Minimum-Recommended-System-Specs-for-rFactor-2
Yeah, I believe so. Therefore I'm trying to put all the level into low to medium only. Maybe if there are no solution even to play low to medium maybe I should turn to rFactor 1 instead
Your CPU and your GPU are well below the minimum for rF2. You just plain need a more powerful system to play the game on.
if the game is playing ok for 15mins? then i would suspect heat being an issue CPU isnt that old, I5 Mobile and the speed (1.7)might be an issue(capable of 2.6), but if its ok for upto 30mins ? then slows down, i would be looking /checking temps! edit to add.. looking here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X_9aHhBIvo those specs look good enuff to me.
The GPU he's got is a bit above performance of an 8600. Still rather low compared to a card designed for gaming (model# of *50 or higher), but above spec. Ken's thought seems very logical, heat might very well be the root issue, sort of a "CPU runs at full bore until it needs to throttle back in order to save itself from being nuked" thing. IIRC there was a way to turn that off. My CPU is a 939 64x2, two things I've done to help before I overclocked from 2.2 to 2.6 GHz(with aftermarket cooling) is cut the number of cars shown, and disable replay recording. I would still get huge drops in fps, in traffic online, if there were more than 8 cars on track. I had everything on low, although graphics adjusting didn't really do much. Once I got my cpu running, I could bump a few things off the bottom. Hope that helps.
