You rig is fine no need to upgrade, old card was ATI right? If that was the case uninstall old ATI drivers with Third Parth software, download Nvidia Inspector, create profile to rFactor2 and all is fine. If you can not create NI profile to rF2 send me PM and I help you out. Other PC related problems go to: Computer Management \ Event Viewer \ Windows Logs \ Application, find rFactor2 error log, make copy of it, mail to ISI Technical support and you get all the help you need.
I tried doing that the other week while perusing the .plr and it developed noticeable visual lag for me.
I wasn't initially happy with reading that but after looking at google chrome and the memory/resources it uses as mentioned in another post it I turned it off and now no stuttering. I was a user issue' and may change to that nickname
Well, after more than 2 and more years and with all these graphic and performance issues, it's maybe the time for ISI to move to Dx11?!
A bit guessing here, but with ISI dev resources it would probably take something like a year to re-write the whole engine to Dx11, plus another year to make it stable. By the time this process was done, everyone had already bought new hardware to deal with performance issues and Dx11 would already be outdated.
That really helped a lot, Noel, thanks! So far the game now has only very fast micro-stutterings specially in low speed turns like Sepang's T1 (not sure why...), but that's something I can live with...let's see how it goes in a full grid online race.. But the JOIN and GET MOD issue is still there...not all the time...sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes the JOIN stays grayed out...and GET MOD too...
Are you sure that's stuttering? Even at 60Hz movement doesn't look 'smooth', things like grandstands moving across the screen will appear to jump from frame to frame. Stuttering is uneven jumps. Very different things, but can be difficult to distinguish. I agree that when able to achieve a solid 60fps making the game stick to that using the PLR parameter and turning off any auto-adjustment stuff (like the steady framerate, and perhaps also the synchronize frame option) does make it smooth. How it'll go when it drops below 60fps is another matter, but not using vsync should reduce the unnerving 'speeding-up, slowing-down' effect.
However, my best friend is a graphic programmer and he has told me that the new graphic cards are built to work with dx11 and they don't work well with dx9 and dx7 and that maybe could be reason why a lot of people here have big performance issues even with new graphic cards as the gtx780!
I don't doubt your friend at all, wajdi, but my 650 ti (DX11 card) is running great after turning off record replays, with no synch set.
+1 GTX 650 Ti OC Always had replays off. Still collecting hot laps and 80 sec. of instant replay. (no sync set)
iRacing, as far as I know, are still using DirectX 9, which you wouldn't believe, because there is almost no complaints about that on their forum compared to here. iRacing also runs with something like 150-200 fps constant on my system, which shows a Dx9 game can be made run very well on modern hardware.
