What fps count are you getting?

Alen Pecanin · Mar 6, 2016

Hello guys

Bought Automobilista the other day when it got available on steam, it was an insta-buy really, after seeing all the great content that came with the game.

I am having issues with fps drop/stuttering like other people on the forum here, where its mentioned. I read that some guys got it sorted out, and some havent and are in the same boat as me still. Problem is occuring at most when driving over curbs, but also while simply driving.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I am here to ask you guys, what FPS count are you getting in this game, and whats your spec?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've gone through the user manual that the other users suggested, and it helped a lot, but I still get stuttering. I've tried editing settings, starting the game, editing more settings, restarting the game and so on. I've managed to make it ok where I race 6-8 opponents. Everything over that and its all royal rumble on my screen with the stuttering.

My specs are:
geforce 980 gtx
4790k - not overclocked
750w psu
G25 wheel
16GB ram
h110 hydro cooling
Windows 7
Resolution: 1920*1080.

In-game I have everything on max except shadows, shadow blur and something else that I have dialed down. my FFB strengt/effect is -80 in the game.

What kinds of FPS are people getting? I would expect to play this game on max settings with 20 cars with my type of specs without any stuttering, but to no avail. Is there anyone out here with same hardware as me, but no stuttering? So its just me? Or is it still a mass-user issue? Havent enjoyed a sim this much in a long long time, really a shame this stuff is holding me back from racing and having fun.

Hello,
I have an nvidia GTX960, only 8Gb ram and the same processor, you can see below my settings. Other setup gives me more fps, but the game isn't fluid anymore, this setup gives me 60 fps constant and the game is fluid.
In control panel Texture detail is set to: X16, recommended was x8 in SCE, for AMS I can't find it

.
There seems to be a problem, at least for me, with the antialiasing setup in nvidiaInspector, in SCE recommended was 8xS, now for AMS I see it is 16xS, going above 8xS causes, the launching screen and video to dissapear for me, so perhaps you shoud try reducing this value.

For the record, the settings being spoken about here are not the same as those recommended in the User Guide.

We do not recommend xS settings anymore as we have software mipmap bias clamping enabled by default

Hello
try to turn off replay

The replay consumes fps?

DEIC · Mar 8, 2016

This is strange, nVidia inspector screenshots were downloaded from steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=638367451
So these aren't the recommended settings?

Alex Sawczuk · Mar 8, 2016

That is a tutorial by a user, not one of us devs.

Where do I find the user guide?

@muzarati when you press play to play the game in steam, you get the little window if u want to play it or go into config tool. There is a "user manual" option on the bottom, last alternative.

I was getting 100fps+ on triples but still feeling stuttery. What fixed it for me was to disable sweetfx, disable the control panel AA, and just enable 2x AA with the config tool. Now higher fps and much smoother too.

thanks, I will try this as my next step tomorrow when I fire up the game again, didnt get time today

From manual; cannot say nothing. Didn~t tri ed

Alex Sawczuk · Mar 9, 2016

Yes, we are not posting the PDF because it is constantly being updated. You all have it on your PCs already and it will be automatically updated via Steam.

Fully optimized I still have "too many" FPS so I capped mine at 120 in the game settings. What a luxury to have too many

Nvidia 960 here.

ThatRacingGuy · Mar 10, 2016

From 90 MAXED out Full grid to 140-170.

THANKS REIZA!

Hey guys

Can some of you guys, with the 960-970 cards who run 100++ fps take a screen shot of every single of your setting both in-game and in the nvdidia inspector and control panel, and post it for me here?

I've tried to fix my stuff today, but still even with 9 cars on buenos aires with the Super V8's, Im around 30-50 fps, and its lagging in the corners. Im about to give up. I would like to try the exact same setting of one of you guys, before I totally give up on this game to race in it :'(

what about other games Alen? Did you already did a clean driver install using that DDu (display driver uninstaller) tool?
You could benchmark your system to see if anything has a malfunction that is giving to you bad performance in AMS (if you are experience this in other scenarios)
