Performance And Settings For A GTX 1080?

[Chillblast]

Hey guys, im hoping you might be able to clear something up for me :)

does anyone know the ideal settings for a gtx 1080 with this game? the gerforce experince thing optimises it for me but sets all the graphic options to medium - high which seems a bit low for a gtx 1080?

any helps and suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Welcome to VR.
The GeForce Experience is actually being fairly generous with those settings.
With a GTX 1080, you can expect adequate performance with settings on a mix of low & med.
The plus side s that VR is so immersive that system killing eye candy high/ultra settings are not even needed.
I've found the best settings on a 1080 to be everything on low, shadows on medium, car details set to high and MSAA on med (2x).
Smooth as buttah!

How do you know its vr. If it is vr you will need super sampling on most I can go is 1.5x and still get 90fps with smaa and around medium settings. It depends on you CPU its very heavy on one core. 4k is around high with a little aa.

Sorry for the late reply, just wanted to say im not running with a VR head set, just a standard 27inch 60Hz monitor locked at 60fps :) ive dug around online on diffrecnt forums and the impression im getting is you can run this game on ultra settings with a single 1080, but it will suffer from fps drops quite frequently, 2 gtx 1080's in sli seems to be the sweet spot for it

no, one 1080 is ok for ultra; have it on 4k all on ulta but track details (see no difference at all from high to ultra but fps drops got better) plus aa is on low. the fps drops that remain are game tec relatet (for instance on overcast weather fps drops, on haze not, not even on fog) these drops should get better with patches.

I have it ultra track, ultra cars, heat haze off because don't like it, light rays etc on, shadows medium, grass off, particles medium, fxaa medium and runs perfect. Not tried any other settings so don't know if it can run any higher because I play in vr most of the time.

Your monitor is definitely letting you down here , when I run the game @ 60hz it looks pretty basic even on High settings , the game still runs ok though, change that to 144hz and all of a sudden it looks like a different game with no FPS drops either, you need to upgrade your Panel.

Performance max frames = 1080P 1 ms response
Eye Candy = 4K with variable framerate.

I run in 1080P and never drop a single frame 120..

TURN up everything in ur control panel that cranks up the pretty and max the game settings...at like 90+fps

Turn off vsync and crank everything up to ultra.

If not done already, you could also try in addition to visual options:

OS Power Option set to: High Performance

NVIDIA Control Panel Options:
-Power Management: Prefer maximum performance
-Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1
-Triple buffering: off
-Vertical sync: Fast

In Game Option:
-Vertical Sync: off
-Pre-rendered frames: 1

Thanks guys! you're inputs been valuable :) im looking into getting a new monitor as its definatly holding me back in regards to eye candy. have put the settings to ultra and still getting 60fps with the odd drop and stutter here and there :)

doesnt seem like it should drop that much, not like ur bottlenecking....if its still holding that 60fps vsync is on somewhere id think

I'd turn vsync off, as I, the frame rate increase is better than the line or two experienced.

I have one aorus gtx 1080 xtreme edition card and i7-7700k, 1440p gsyn monitor, running at 1440p with a mix of ultra and high settings and just racing against AI I average somewhere around 120-140fps, just practicing on a track by myself I am getting around 160fps.
