Is GTX980 "mid end"? Also if its on triple screen maybe it turns into "low end"? :D

Yes, 980 is low end for triple screens (not enough VRAM these days!)…

For single 1080p screen, I used to feel that 970 was middle, but I don't know these days. Time for folks to report measurements again, especially now that 1440p screens are common and content is, er, richer in textures.

During daytime (even with clouds) and GT3 cars on triples i can run 60FPS solid. However i tested rain first and then clear night time and they were both hogging my FPS. I did have reflections set to high so maybe with low it will work because it didnt drop so much. Night time however... Those lights cast no shadows so why are they so heavy? Im not complaining, im asking someone who knows how these things work. :) Its mostly 60FPS at night but when more cars come into vision it drops under 60FPS.

I felt there was no reason to test night AND rain, lol. :D At least daytime with GT3 i have 60FPS on triples with 980GTX so im at least happy for that. With 1080 soon i hope i can have rain and night at 60FPS as well.

Try the same test, with exactly the same parameters (exactly).

Because you are in TRIPLE, just change :

shadow blur optimal, opponent visible 9, PP high.

Do the test 30 minutes, and see what FPS AVERAGE you get.

If that is not satisfactory, put opponent low and rain low.

I dont have shadow blur on at all. You think its better to turn it to optimal than off? I will test PP HIGH. I have heard sometimes it can be better than LOW.

BTW what about reflections? I have both road and environment. Im not sure what it means. Road reflections show the environment in the reflection on the road right? Environment reflections is reflections off buildings etc? Maybe i can turn that one off and set road reflections to low.

EDIT: I have to look into overclocking GPU. I have good cooling so maybe i can win some FPS doing it.

Lowering or disabling reflections improves performance.
You can test in on a sunny day and see if it is acceptable.
 
@Alex72

The only thing I can say is this :


The whole strategy for graphic settings is to have, in full HD if you are in FHD :

1) The best quality that it is possible to have (or almost) in the majority of game circumstances (OUT of rain or wet weather, OUT the most critical day/night transition moment for performance);

2) To have perfectly acceptable performance and quality under difficult conditions for performance (rain or wet weather, day/night transition moment).

During sun the high road reflections/environment reflections give me solid 60FPS. When rain comes on and i can see the reflections on the road the FPS drops. Question is: is it the reflections that are showing that is the problem or is it the rain drop textures?

Hi.

Easy to know : keep your settings (all), make a test like mine (30 minutes) with average FPS (use for example riva tuner), and deactivate the rain effect totally, to see if it is the main problem.

But I suggest you to try to put (these settings are the most important :

- rain LOW or medium
- Opponents LOW or medium
- AI visible : 9 (max 12)
- soft particles : low or off
- shadow blur optimal (not quality)
- PP : high (not ultra)

These settings can help your hardware a lot when :

- it's raining
- night/sunrise-sunset-low sun

Sorry can't help about that. I don't drive on wet.

I think it really could work. ;)

Thx I know all of it, tried everything but my system is too weak.
Nevermind because I can't even drive properly in the dry
