big al 515 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I had to jack the meeting in after the heats as the feel just wasn't right, I could not be precise as it was all too "swimmy" on screen and totally unlike offline - I don't know if I need to drop my graphics settings down further or if the cheap pc is just not upto it. Racing rFactor F2's is a totally different experience, the graphics are perfect throughout races, probably like the rest of you are getting in F1's. I will probably be a very occasional performer in F1's until I eventually upgrade the pc, unless dropping graphics as low as poss helps - but either way I will be racing the Tooz aplenty.
Matty300 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Just wondered Al if dropping the special effects down from full (display>special effects) may help.The dust kicked up on shale tracks certainly makes things much trickier, & I would imagine puts a strain on your PC's processor & graphics card chip in the same way as processing shadows does on mine in some games, eg far cry 2 etc. When racing online the processor obviously has to draw in all the other cars & the effects created by them & this may be reason you get that "swimmy" effect. Having plenty of RAM helps & is probably the most cost effective upgrade you can make, 4GB should make rFactor fly at average settings.
Kruiz 136 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Single 2.8ghz processor, 2GB RAM, with a 7950gt graphics card, similar or better cards can be bought for about 30 quid these days on ebay, and I play it on full settings except for special effects, I even have shadows on low. I do get lag from time to time but it doesn't seem to help if I lower the settings or not, its just background processes that I just can't get rid of, that causes the lag for me I think.
Walker363 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Good meeting - Shame I could not get right on the pace due to my FFB feeling light and heavy at times. Maybe something to do with the track I think MoR was saying ? Apart from that I enjoyed the meeting. Roll on Ipswich

Thanks for the tip matty, will certainly experiment more with this as I did see dust being kicked up so I need to get rid of that for sure.
Kruiz 136 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Ah well turning off the effects will improve your frame rates for sure mate, problem solved I'd say, it makes a huge difference.
