    rF2 is Perfect as is :) AC is my issue .
    I'm trying my best to not touch rF2 (struggling) till "the big Update" and just stuffing around with AC atm but the stutter is killing me.lol

    You may want to try turning off post-process filters from AC, those probably add frame time. AC actually looks decent with them off, I would argue it looks even better, whereas rF2 without HDR looked incredibly dull.

    Yeah , PP is already off .
    Turns out after a couple of hours starting back at 1080p low settings and working back to 4k max (without pp) , removing plugins , lower cars count , AC doesn't like my GPU overclock ?
    I've put my GPU back to default OC and No More Stutter even with 24 cars , i even did Road America with 47 cars but FPS dropped to 50 but when i let the field go ahead and FPS steadied , no stutter , but was getting 99% CPU occupancy warning every 10 odd seconds .lol
    I only ever race with a F1 type grid (20-22) anyway .
    Happy days :)

    I think overclocking these days is more trouble than benefits. I stopped tinkering with it a long ago.

    It definitely gets me more FPS in a lot of games like Gears (cant remember FPS) or Tomb Raider (46) where my 1070 struggles @ 4k , even Watch Dogs 2 (40) where without im just over a playable 30.
    Yeah know i should get a 1080 , but i cant :(
    Maybe later this year a shiny 1080 ti but atm im saving for a Evolve Carbon GT, hehehe.

    My overclocks count for a lot
    It's like a different system

    Get good cooling & overclock
    It allows much more power = +fps

    I'd notice straight away if my gpu or cpu was running at stock

    (I use water cooling so temps are never an issue )

    If overclocking causes game stutter, then it's likely because your card is hitting the temperature or power limit and throttles down automatically. The power limit might require a new BIOS to circumvent, temperature limit obviously improves with better cooling.

    Yeah , the only game that HAD a problem with my OC was AC , all other games benefited with higher (10-15 fps) but AC runs at 110 fps with or without OC but smoother without , so OC will stay for all but AC .

    That's pretty cool , i find i get higher fps in AC than rF2 .
    rF2 would be my prefered Sim and with the coming improvement with Direct x11 things should only get better .
    Although going back to AC after 130 hrs of rF2 is quite refreshing . Kunos have definitely gained some ground with Ai improvements and i have found a tweak in the files to increase AA so it is looking better than ever also .

    I wonder if S397 will surprise us with the update coming early ? Wouldnt that be nice then i can leave AC for good ;)

    Bear in mind Iracing went from dx9 to dx11 & looked pretty much no different

    Performance was not much different either except the only thing that changed was the fps dips were much less which of course was a positive thing , somehow things look a tad better at lower graphic settings too

    If we keep low expectations then any thing positive is a bonus
    ( big thing for me is VR)

    little question:
    On which steering wheel tested you the ffb?
    You can make custom settings for steering thrustmaster, logitech, fanatec and Direct Drive?

    It becomes easier when the dev is supporting you on converting the tracks ;)
