    Intel i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz, 8 GB RAM
    nVidia GTX970,

    About 10 FPS less than before.
    No more micro stutters, but some random big stutter with Post Processing at High. Not that I'm gonna use Post Processing, as they are pretty ugly. Couldn't concentrate ahead, looked out of focus.
    Mouse slow on the menus.
    Post Processing drop down menu in game doesn't appear.

    Are there some proper release notes? Because the USF2000 felt different, don't know if it was changed. Way less grippy.

    You can use some joystick to key software to do that. I use tool called Antimicro to map Ctrl+Space.

    Another thing, since I am CV1 user, I wasn't familiar with SteamVR at all. Turns out Steam VR has recenter position option as well. You need to use Xbox controller to get into Steam VR settings. This needs to be done once per seating position/sensor position change.

    game starts in 32 bit only. then i get a series of messages with all tracks:
    ps30_custom_cmap_specMapT0lerpT1a0d:\steam\steamapps\common\rfactor2\shader@0x4645D7C8(79.19): warning X3206: lerp implicit truncation of vector type...
    ....Input signature parameter SV_POSITION(1-based Entry 0) type must be float32 and mask must be xyzw. (????)

    lot of message like this than game stops with message:

    Error loading global Material RF2_HANS

    tried removing cmaps and shaders folders content but nothing changes

    GOod that this beta is being done first, hope all issues can be solved quickly :)
    FPS decraese here with my r7 360, yes I know it's a very weak card but I could run 40 cars with high settings (shadows on med, reflections off) at 60 fps fine (locked, it could go above that without locking). With DX11 is not possible at all be it content ready for that or not.
    That purple + green bar that shows CPU and graphic only appear when game is paused. Anti aliasing is looking a bit strange to me, like it is there but not as efficient as before

    Significant frame drop and stutters to the point of not really playable. Triples menu not correct.
    Back to DX9 for me.

    very bad fps. around 20 in race and 10 in replays, and its after lowering settings to higl/low for reflections
    Edit: after lowering post effect to low, i get 35 stable fps no matter what, alone on track, race, or replay. I think its much lower than before.

    Disable all plugins from CustomPluginVariables.JSON and test only cars & tracks that have been updated with DX11 (no mods).

    Hugely disappointing. Framerate cut by about 50% during the race, replays are a slideshow, Vsync doesnt seem to be working and it stutters like the very 1st build. I'll revisit this title when this build leaves beta.

    Big performance problems here.

    DX9 - Everything to max in Nola with the USF2000 - 80/100 FPS
    DX11 - All to max (Post Effects Off) in Nola with the USF2000 - 10/15 FPS

    Deleted the Cbash and Shaders folders, tested cache integrity, returned to 1108 and re-downloaded the beta, same results.

    Can it be a problem with AMD graphics cards? I have noticed that many people with AMD cards are suffering big losses of performance ...

    SPECS
    CPU: Phenom II x4 @3,8
    GPU: RX570 4GB
    RAM: 8GB DDR3
    OS: Windows 7

    Quick test with some laps in Matsusaka and Silverstone. USF2000 car with 20 AI.
    Runs butter-smooth. It also looks really nice.
    @Studio397: Well done.

    G-sync is not working (GTX 1070 on an Alienware 15 R3 with 60hz 1080p G-sync IPS display). It even causes G-sync to stop working in my other games! To get G-sync working again in other games I have to restore default settings in Nvidia control panel.

    AMD hardware.
