PC3 Project CARS 3 | Screenshots

M D Gourley · Aug 26, 2020

Please Note: The screen shots I have taken and posted here have been captured in game at 5760x1080 resolution only, some have been cropped and all have been re-saved at 50% of the original resolution for easier uploading.

Well, I had some spare pennies and I knew what I was getting myself into

...now I can say I have the 'Trilogy'

Mainly purchased for the casual pick up and play and some screen shotting / shooting

Quite surprised it recognized the triple screens (not proper triple screen set up) when first firing it up, but wheel was recognized and once adjusted the FFB my TSXW had some weight and vibration, so the FFB is ok in my way of thinking for what PC3 is for...the gamepad / casual gamer.

But I will be playing PC3 on my Sim Rig set up...photo below.

Screen Shots of the main areas of concern for me personally

...it all feels familiar, but cut down.

These are my current Thrustmaster TS-XW wheel settings and I am personally happy at this moment , but still a WIP.
All cars I have tried in the above screen shots feel great with these settings and I am more than happy with this.

And my current 'Graphics' settings running the RTX2070

Can you achieve 60fps with these settings? Looking at benchmarks my 1080ti seems stronger in pC3 than 2070 and I'm really struggling even at low settings.

M D Gourley,

I really appreciate you taking so much time to post your beautiful pics of PCars3! I just picked up the Deluxe edition for $28.49 during the last sale on Steam and I'm so glad I did. I understand all the complaints about the game from serious sim racing fans... but from a purely "fun" and arcade mentality I am LOVING this game! Since I bought it just 2 days ago I already racked up 19 hours of play. I'm a stickler for smooth graphics and look for every tweak I can find to get rid of any and all stuttering. I think I finally achieved it on my PC - i7-9700K - RTX 2070 - 32GB RAM. Putting the texture quality in the game's settings to medium finally got rid of all the stutters for me... say when driving on a track and out of the blue you get one or two micro stutters... no more. There are moments in this game where I'm watching a replay and am just loving what I'm seeing. Once it's all dialed in the way you want it's a gorgeous game!

Hello Hawker77,
Glad to here that you are really enjoying the Game and got the settings all sorted to your liking....it's been a long while since I fired up any Sim, and also signed in to any Sim Forums....so apologies for the very late reply
