ATI graphics optimization

I've got same FPS probs with rf2.

Sys: HD6950 2GB, Beta Driver 12.1, Core i5, 8GB
Res: 1900x1200

With AA on level 3 and AF on 8x I#ve got only roundabout 30FPS.

Sometimes it feels smooth, but there are a lot of framedrops...

graphichs utilization at rf2: 75% (tested with gpu-z)
cpu utilization at rf2: 20% (Task-Manager)

Same here with HD6950 2GB, Beta Driver 12.1, Q6600@3000mhz, 4GB
 
I order to have a comparison it might be good to post the used resolution as well... this obviously plays a major role with many GFX cards.
 
Hi, i get 50-80Fps with shum´s CCC settings and high-medium rF2 settings i don´t get a screen from rF 2 Menu.
Tripple Screen 5040x1050 60Hz 4xAA 2xAF
My system:
HD 6970 11.12 driver
i7 950 @ 3.4
12Gb
 
ah btw

graphichs utilization at rf2: 75% (tested with gpu-z)
cpu utilization at rf2: 20% (Task-Manager)

whats going wrong here...
 
That's not only with rFactor 2: Skyrim on my 6950 only gives about 70% load in GPU-Z, CPU-usage is also not so high.
 
I have the ATI Radeon HD4890 and I'm getting annoying infinite lines coming from textures, the framerate with AA and high values is also bad.

Any suggestions?
 
@Edgar: at the moment there is no solution for the low framerate.
For ur texture problem, you ca try the unofficial catalyst beta driver 12.1a
 
I just had another look at my CPU and it looks fairly even across all cores. I have everything maxed and running in a window at 1280x720 (because I am VNCed into the machine from work) and I am getting 34fps. The GPU is running 60% and each core is running about 20%.

So clearly my CPU isn't the bottle neck.

Here is my config:
i5-2500K (stock clock)
16GB
ATI HD5770 (running 11.12)

I am going to try 12.1a next.
 
Know it's beta, but it's pretty much undriveable for me so far after a few stabs at tweaking. Very variable framerate (running alone on a sunny day, no AI in the historic F1 @ Monaco), but the big issue is stuttering, video tearing ,and lag. Haven't run across such issues since retiring my old single core Athlon! Haven't gotten FRAPS metrics yet, but with everything maxed it drops into the 30's a lot and never hits triple digits, but even when it's above 60FPS, it's stuttery and a mile from feeling smooth. All AA/AF etc. done in CC, not in game, as with all my sims; res is at 1920X1200. Using vsync helps with tearing, but not with stuttering. Dialing down all the effects a notch or two, killing HDR, dropping sounds to 20 etc., do help, but still stuttery and nothing I'd spend more than a few minutes with. No way I'd get on track with someone online with such poor controllability.

Rig is an i7-2600K @4.5ghz with an HD6970(12.1a drvr), 8GB RAM and an Audigy X-Fi Music. For comparison, in solo practice in the HPDARX at Spa in iRacing I average around 210FPS +/- 30FPS. Sitting in the pits at Spa in GTR2 I'm over 220 also. Can run with 60(!) AI in the rain in GTR2 and never drop below 100FPS after the first quarter lap or so. Solid rig...

Want to like it and expect it to get better, but as good as rFactor was graphically in terms of efficiency this has been a disappointing surprise. Cant really evaluate the driving until I can get it smoothed out, so I'm looking forward to finding the graphics solution.
 
There does seam to be a trend here. Everyone complaining is running ATI. Steve, those specs are great. We should be running in the 30s. This is crazy.
 
By the way guys, AF stopped being a performance hog about 4-6 years ago with modern GPU's, you would/should only get about a 1-5 fps drop from 0 to 16x AF max, so chuck it on at least 8x

similar stuff here. I have to disable HDR (it looks poor right now anyway), and most of the things like specular sun. Then throw on Super sampling and it should look really nice. Try Mills Metropark at 5pm and it starts to look very impressive, just can't get 60fps even with those changes :(

12.1a helped a tad but only by about 5fps. I am looking for gains of 100 not gains of 5. I think we are out of luck until ISI figures something out. Or I ditch my 5770 and go back to Nvidia.
 
maybe someone from ISI can confirm, that there is a problem with rf2 and not with radeon drivers?!
I hope this problem is right on the front of your to-do list.
