iracing Graphics is old

[HAMALO]

Am sorry to say but the Graphics of iracing is old and its terrible. The game is great i love it but the graphics no way to old and ugly. Everybody can say graphics is not all, but for me it does because in my opinion graphics makes the different to enjoy racing at iracing. Every race games have great graphics like example Competizione, F1 2019, Project cars 2 etc but iracing is the most ugly race game out there. But the game play as SIM is the best. So i hpoe the makers at iracing considering to upgrade there graphics to directx 12 and using engine 4 as graphics.

Just an observation. Someone say the colours are accurate!? They're washed out as hell and low saturation to "look realistic" when in-fact real life is pretty colourful. That was a cheap technique used in the 90s when games couldn't just look good, to trick the viewer.

I sometimes wonder about the colors. I have to agree, they do feel washed out a bit. Its easy to see when you first start racing.

Its doenst work for VR. It has no impact with VR. This trick works only for monitors.

He mentions VR in the video. It works with Nvidia cards, rather than the monitor.

Well Im telling you that it does not work, meaning, I dont care what he says, it doesnt work, take it from my personal experience, for VR that is.

/me resurrects thread from the beyond...

i find it unfortunate that people fling the "can't improve because will alienate existing players" argument around. it's really a lie, has been "THE lie" since at least 2017 .. it is now 2023. the use of dx11 is more than adequate (gamedev here) and the devs could still make the game look WAY better than it already does (textures, meshes, lighting) the major shortcoming is the content and NOT the engine nor graphics library (facts.) for example adding higher resolution textures, texmaps, higher resolution meshes, improved shaders, none of which forces existing users to upgrade, all of the old content could be (and SHOULD BE) retained, thus this sort of improvement would have zero impact on existing VR experience. the only scenario where existing player experience degrades is when those players are forced to use larger textures (more memory), more complex shaders (eating GPU compute), or more complex meshes (more GPU compute) and why would iRacing do that except they want to spend less of our money? -- the physics shouldn't be impacted, because from a game engine perspective "visuals" have nothing to do with "physics".

this is why you see third-party mods able to dramatically improve visuals. iRacing should hire those guys!

that said, we now see gaming PCs with 240hz refresh, graphics cards that run IRacing at 200fps, 64GiB of ram, 24 core CPUs with 32 threads, and at its heart iRacing lags behind current-level technology by 5+ years. it looks "acceptable" it certainly doesn't look "great."

my point? stop flinging the lie. there's no reason the game can't look better than F1, ACC, etc except that iRacing.com(tm) has no financial incentive to do so. side-by-side with ACC or a RL race and it's obvious it looks like a second-rate game, despite looking as good as it does, it doesn't look anywhere near as goods as it _could_.

Dont worry, IR has Terence Groening he is a genius will certainly improve IR in a big way.

lol, iracing needs a whole giant team to fix its outdated system.

The BS part is you claiming that other people are happy with IRacing because they have lesser hardware.

I still call that BS.

oh I was around during this era I can read this waht op is trying to say

That was me for years until last week. It's not pretty, but it's fun to play so far. But I do want to see these graphic improvements they were touting rather sooner than later.

It will be much later... a lot later.... years away.... this is the way with iracing...... years and years. People have thousands in their setups, ability to run high resolution games, and iracing keeps it in the 1980s.
