    Hello, my old PC is dead (electrical shock) and I have bought a new one. As you know, I was having perfomance problems. Well... I am sure that the new PC won't have those problems but anyway I could perfectly run rF2 in my old PC with ultra settings on DX9 and some people having good CPU like FX 8350 have said me that there are some perfomance issues in DX11.

    Well, this was my old PC:

    Motherboard: F1A55-M LX
    CPU: A6-3650
    RAM: 12 GB DDR3 (1333 mhz) (4 + 8)
    GPU: R9 280
    HDD: 1 TB Normal

    This is my new machine:

    Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Plus
    CPU: Intel i5-8600k
    GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
    RAM: 16 GB 2666 mhz (8 + 8)
    HDD: 120 GB SSD + 1 TB Normal

    What do you think? Will I run Ultra 60 FPS?

    choose a mid level setting and verify that everything is working and looking the way it should. Check your fps. Then start adding things, little by little til you reach the level of eyecandy vs performance that you can accept. Best of luck.

    CPU is good but CPU makes no difference in rF2 unless you run VR. Only thing that matters is PCI-E version and GPU. GPU is entry level and not much better than your old R9 280. PCI-E 3.0 will probably help you most, PCI-E 2.0 is a slight bottleneck for my 1050 TI.

    Anyway, you should get 60 FPS with medium to high settings, but forget about using much post FX, rain FX or high reflections. Next update is supposed to improve graphics performance...

    Well... Lets see when I can try it in the next 3-4 days but the CPU is 250% better than my old one so I hope it will make a huge difference :p

    again pcie 2.0 vs 3.0? two graphics cards do not saturate 2.0, pure marketing , or as some here that invent that rfactor delimits 2.0, small bullshit
    the 2.0, a 1080ti graphics card does not saturate it !!!
    to saturate you have to put three graphic cards in sli
    it's pure marketing ...to fool fools hahaha

    I have an FX 8350 with a gtx 1070 on a 144hz monitor and I'm going to 140 fps
    but in single core the i5 8600k is much more interesting and will get more performance if it goes on monitors of more hz, at 60z it does not suffer so much the fx 8350 would give more fps
    the 8600 is pretty much better

    My old PC:

    AMD FX 6300
    GTX 970 (pci-e 2.0 because the CPU)
    8GB ram DDR3

    A lot of fps drops during online endurance racing (big grids, day-night transition, rain etc.)
    Note that i said FPS DROP, so not the out-of-realtime issue caused by the CPU overload.

    Once i did a 2 hours long stint in Bahrain (night + wet track) at 35-40 fps, horrible :confused:

    My new PC:

    I7 6700k
    GTX 970 (pci-e 3.0 now)
    8GB ram DDR4

    High-full settings, i have never seen a number below 60 in the fps counter.

    I use a 1050ti and get locked 60 all the time. Odd.

    FX6300 is a beast in RF2 though.

    Edit: 1050, not 1080. I wish it was a 1080!

    Thats good to know because FX 6300 is still faster than A6-3650 (Honda CPU??? XD)

    A6 was designed for office-based systems, not for gaming.

    To answer to your question @Suzukinol you should be able to run high settings at 60 fps without problems (better keep shadows at low). Start from the back of the grid (e.g. 30 AI and 15 visible) in a race and check your framerate, this is the heaviest condition, if rF2 is smooth here is smooth everywhere (rain aside).

    you do not say anything but nonsense about this topic, you and your friends,
    and when something does not work, he invents it,
    graduated in computer engineering, like the other;)

    I have a masters in computer engineering and working on PhD. If you graduated, you should know how to read graphs and know how to perform tests instead of going by what you believe. :)

    Well, I was not referring to you, but since you say it, then you know that the graphic card does not saturate the pcie 2.0?
    there are also graphics that say: that the graphic card does not saturate the pcie 2.0!

    rF2 also doesn't saturate a CPU core, but that doesn't mean it doesn't fall out of realtime because the CPU isn't fast enough. Saturation isn't everything.

    @juanchioooo We know. We know it shouldn't make a difference.
