    Hello,

    I am new to rfactor,rfactor2. Running a build PC about 3-4 years old mainly for flight sim cockpit that I now have a a dual cockpit left seat for racing and right seat for flying. Asus Pq5 turbo mb with Intel Core Duo E8600 wolfdale oc'd to 4.00 ghz. Egva GTX 260 896GB.

    I have rfactor 2 running in 1600x1200 at AA level 2 using overhead projector (if i go over level 2 at this res with 30 cars on track I get slideshow at some points on a track).

    Upgrading CPU on motherboard not an option as it is maxed out for the socket type. So I am thinking of upgrading GPU to: EVGAGeForce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 3GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 card for about $220 U.S.

    Any opinions as to if I can increase AA and get better texture quality? Or is that GPU overkill for my setup?


    Thanks,


    Peter

    If you run only one monitor or one projector, even on full HD(1920*1080p) I think that you will be fine with that new GPU!
    rF2 is a GPU dependent, so you don't need much CPU to run it!
