Hello everybody, Im new in this Forum. I actually thought that my computer very well meets the system requirements for rFactor 2. But actually I can only play on Medium graphics with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 60Hz and no Anti-Analyzing. Also on this Graphics are some lags. My System: Desftop PC Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Intel Core I3 540 3.07GHz 1156 LGA Socket Mainboard Intel DH55TC RAM 2x 4Gb DDR3 667 MHz GPU PowerColor AMD HD 7770 GHz Edition HDD Western Digital Blue 500GB (WD5000AAKX) What do you think which Component should I change to play on maximum or maybe just better than Medium Graphics?
As always it depends Press ingame ctrl + c to become in the upper left corner two bars. Green bar shows the utilization for the gfx engine and the purple is for the physics. They start on the left side if the bar is full (to the right side) it means 100 % utilization. More or less the green bar depends on the gfx card and the purple to the cpu. For a ingame fps visual hit one time ctrl + f. Most time the bottleneck is the gpu. Do not forget in your consideration a strong gpu can only expand the full performance with a good cpu. Hope this is helping you to find a good decition.
Thank you for you answers. I have tested everything you told me. It seems that the Graphic problems are only with the F1 2013 mod, when I see more opponents during the race. In a race it is so bad that I cant play it, even on low graphics. Maybe the details of the cars are so high that my PC isnt able to run on high graphics. I have tested the Renault 3.5 mod and also on pretty high graphics and AA level 5 everhing works fine and looks very good. Does enyone elso have problems with the F1 2013 mod from RFT-Team?
Most time it depend from the used track. A good reference track for finding good settings is Silverstone from ISI. Try to begin with track detail medium AA x4 and reduce soft particles to low or off. Road reflection to low and enviroment reflection to off or low. Shadow blur to fast or off because it is very gpu heavy. Check the amount of consumed gpu memory. Hit ctrl + f two times in the upper left corner appear a bar which show the consumed video memory. (if the bar is full you have to reduce the texture details) Try to reduce the ingame setting "max visible cars". Try to reduce the opponent detail from full to high. Don't enable ingame FXAA ATM (it's on the known issues list)
I run with all video options on full with no issues at all. My pc specs <----- click my profile over there to see specs.
