    Yes i have the latest version, because i can join all server and see the wipers and raindrops on the windscreen, what i think might be impossible without the latest version of the cars.

    But the Steam check solved the problem. Thank you for your support.

    Meanwhile your graphics board can render 20 AIs in Project Cars 2 with much better visuals, go figure.

    rF2 drops frames by half once the VRAM is exceeded. Problem is that rF2 does not free VRAM from background tasks as well as other games, so even a couple of browser tabs running in background (which can easily consume 500+ MB VRAM) will add up as it will be counted against the total VRAM ceiling. A 1050 Ti should work well with more than 6 cars provided that you use PCI-E 3.0.

    Thanks to those who suggested a solution to my lack of rain drops and no working wipers... I unsubscribed and re-subscribed to the GT3 content and that fixed it. The performance with rain is really pretty good with all that turned to high on even an old GPU. But now I want to know why I'm not getting updates to Steam content automatically...

    It shouldn't be a problem while you can increase your VRAM up to 3x your physical RAM size, or maybe I'm wrong?

    I was talking about VRAM as in video RAM, not virtual RAM used by OS. rF2 also consumes a lot of virtual RAM, in some cases above 10 GB, but I haven't seen that affecting performance.

    everything is deleted, done clean installation, it is an inexplicable thing especially the difference between dx11 and dx9 ...

    @ivaldi85 Such big frame drop could be because of fullscreen issues. rF2 DX11 has a bug with fullscreen, sometimes it does not run in fullscreen properly even if you have it selected, but usually it's fixed by alt-tabbing a few times and scrolling through the apps with mouse wheel. This has brought the FPS back for some users. Also make sure you have all v-syncs disabled (video/software/GPU). The other thing to make sure is that you are running in PCI-E x16 3.0 mode (you can check this with GPU-Z tool), but since you run fine in DX9 I assume this is the case.

    I am moaning again but does anybody else have more than double FPS drop in rain or am I the only one?
    People with weaker GPUs (GTX 960M), anybody?

    Obviously they do but they give stabil FPS with no micro stutters, stutters and tearing especially if you have 120 or 144 hz monitor.

    Ok but I believe stonec was giving advice how to avoid frame drops.
    Btw at my system if I go from Sync none to Sync GPU I get from 55 to 37 FPS without significant improvement in stutters and tearing

    Do you feel that when you get only 1/3 of with rain effects FPS with this specific build we should not talk about it at all?

    This is the screen when I go to open video settings in game. The GPU are not mentioned and the operating system is also wrong. Can the game decide to use the motherboard instead of the GPU?
