Back to the purple problem... I`m going to do what I can to find out what is causing it, whether it`s an rf2 thing or a monitor thing maybe...

Anybody know of good monitor calibration software that`s free?

I know good, pro software can be really expensive so that`s out the window atm...
 
First thing you can try is to force your monitor gamma few points down. You can find the gamma value in the nVidia Display section-----> Adjust Desktop Color Settings.

Ok... I gave this a try and I have to say, I think it`s made a bit of difference. I know it may be hard to tell from screenshots guys but I can`t really see any purple in the shot below.



But in the original screens I posted I can...

Original



Edited



Do you guys see any difference, IE less or no purple where it was in the first screens I posted?

(If the monitor is viewed from above center I can`t see any purple in the top (new) screen but I can on the unedited, first screen I posted)

I changed the Gamma setting from 1.00 to 0.98 in the Nvidia CP.

The colours seem to be a little better with the Gamma down a couple of notches too I think...
 
Good. :)

At this point I guess your monitor is not well calibrated, so you can restore the original gamma from the nvidia panel, and then create a new profile for your monitor, keeping attention to the gamma aspect.

You can calibrate your monitor in the Windows Control Panel ------> Color Management ------> Advanced -----> Calibrate Display.

Make sure your room is pretty dark for the calibration.
 
Excellent!

Thanks Tuttle, I`ll do the calibration and hopefully things will look better. :)

Btw, do you see less purple in my screen after the Gamma adjustment? (Top screen in last post)

I have tripple TFT's here, I can see those purple colors on my side monitors but not in the middle one which is connected through the mini display with an active adapter. The other two are HDMI and VGA ( I think it's called that way, dunno lol)
 
Hi all

Tim have u lot(isi) done anything in the breakdown compartment
Why I ask is cos racing yesterday against ai f2 modern (love them cars) I was behind one of the ai cars then bang
Ai car in flames smoke and everything, I almost pooed my pants, I managed to get round him and all that and finish the race when I looked on the standing page I had 2 ai with engine failure and 1 with gearbox?

I just don't remember seeing this before in the standings
And really loved it when he did blow his engine

Cheers

And keep up the great work isi

I seem to be getting much better cpu utilisation recently. Anyone else? I rarely used to see anywhere approaching 100%cpu usage across all 4 cores but I do now. :)

Took this screenshot while racing Nords.

Out of curiosity, what CPU are you running and what kind of framerate are you running and how many AI are you running? I have an i5-2500K and cap my framerate at 60FPS and never see over 30% across all 4 cores with 0 AI. Hitting 100% isn't a good thing and will most likely cause stutters. You would be better off capping your framerate to 60 so you have some breathing room for the CPU.
 
Finally home and a quick FPS test between these two builds, nothing fancy just a FRAPS using a replay, used AutoUpdate although I'll probably do a fresh install later, anyway:

Silverstone
Camaro
24 AI
ran as AI starting in 20place, in game settings posted below.

Build 240
2013-09-09 16:20:22 - rFactor2
Frames: 4080 - Time: 120000ms - Avg: 34.000 - Min: 22 - Max: 56

Build 300
2013-09-09 16:33:54 - rFactor2
Frames: 5071 - Time: 120000ms - Avg: 42.258 - Min: 28 - Max: 77

As you can see even a simple quick test showed a decent increase in average FPS for me, according to an online Calculator Percentage gizmo thats an increase of 24.1% (is that right? sounds like a lot and I'm crap at maths!!)

I've had it before, mostly in the historical. Funny when they just have a problem and keep driving. You just see smoke each time they accelerate. Quite immersive.

One thing imho rF2 does better then any sim is windowed mode.

Set full screen windowed ( tick box in rF config ) been telling people for nigh on 2 years.

I know what you thinking, windowed mode ughh right but you be wrong.
rF2 you can't tell it is windowed, ie: most other sims you see the border.
It also has no affect on performance or fps or causes stutter or anything else like it does in some sims.

Now all you need to do is press the Win Key and you have task bar and start-menu and anything multitasking on top of rF2.

So say you are lapping, you can hit Win Key, open any program, do what you like ......while you are still lapping ! , why would you use Alt-Tab is beyond me.

It works faster and smoother and if you do alot of alt-tabs you can sometimes get lockups ctd all sorts of things ..........from time to time ........on occasion.

Also seems to stop other apps stealing focus

Thanks for the suggestion. NVCP rF2 profile says "use global (Application controlled)" and I have AA off in the sim.

I also tried 0x82482005 for the magic bits as Cangrejo suggested... still 12 FPS, 10% GPU utilization.

I've bitched about the rF2 SLI since forever but now somehow it is really broken for me. Thank goodness Build 300 gives such a great improvement in single card performance.

Maybe Tim working with Steven Bacchus will get some results. Just having Tim notice that all is not well with SLI and say that they will engage nVidia gives reason for hope. Before now the ISI position seemed to be that SLI utilization is balanced at 95%, therefore there is no problem. (gotten in a PM from Jeremy Miller)

I've brought it up again to devs
