Terrible performance? What the hell is wrong with ACC?

[WAR BASTARD]

What the hell is going on with this game? Not here to rage about anything, I've not paid for it and tried it free this weekend, but definitely have some questions. Massive AC fan, simracing in general, (RBR, Dirt R+2, AC, occasionally Forza) and as soon as I fired up my first race, I was scratching my head. The FFB felt awesome, even made my crappy old G27 feel not too bad (still being replaced with a Fanatec Clubsport next week either way), and the car and road felt on par with AC, if not better.

But, the fps I was running at were absolutely diabolical, on more than one level. Have a GTX 1070, i5 6600K@4.1ghz, and 24gb DDR4 ram. Also have 3x1080p monitors, a 4K monitor, and a 1440p Dell WMR)

The game recommended EPIC for all settings, so I thought, "yeah no worries" and let it run. At an abysmal 30-45 fps it chugged along, with stuttering so bad I couldn't even think about playing it at that. I'm not even a 60fps snob, I'll play with 45-55 if it's somewhat smooth and functional no problem, I'm not letting refresh-rates ruin my day. Even so, I tried turning everything to minimum, and STILL could not get a stable 60fps. This was on my own, practice, Aston at Nurburgring. Either way, to get a stable 60, I had to framelimit and vsync, and turn res scaling down to 90%. This is ridiculous! I mean, I don't have the most up-to-date rig on the planet, but after half an hour or so of angry twiddling and a couple of restarts, I still had nothing. Didn't even bother trying at 4K or in VR, thought no point.

Even at 45fps with middling settings, it just kind of sat there. Changed a few things to high and then to low, with no noticable change in framerate, and for the life of me could not figure out what the game wanted. Eventually I decided I was wasting my time, and have uninstalled the free weekend instead of buying it like I thought I would.

Like I said, I'm aware I don't have the best PC on the planet, but is this really what the performance is like on this game? Back to AC for me I think. Looked better with Sol at a solid 60 and TAA up the arsehole. Something about this game just feels- *weird*, like it doesn't feel like a Kunos release, it feels like the sort of crap big studios think it's cool to leave broken and just carry on, as if loads of people who want to play aren't sat there wondering why they can't.

everyones idea of what looks good is different too i started on ACC so i like the way it looks over everything else. i also ran a 1070ti at 1440p and it looked really good on the 55inch 4k60 tv i had at the time.
i have a rx6800 now and a 4k120hz 65 inch and 1440p just looks way worse on this tv but i am getting 110-200 fps lol at 4k with high/epic and a couple medium settings FSR on quality. cpu is a i7-8700k so not really anything special and the 5 year old 1070ti was still doing really nice in my opinion at 1440p and i think would look great on a 1440p monitor.
i pretty much have all the other sims out there and just prefer ACC for whatever reason also have a old VR headset and would rather play ACC in VR as well even if its barely a little less crisp lol
so in the end it mostly just comes down to personal preference i started really liking this game when i only had it on xbox one x and it was looking like crap and locked to 30 fps haha so its just going to be different for everyone weather ACC is for them or not.

You just said it, Medium FSR is ♥♥♥♥ in terms of look, never go below quality imo.

[goblueteam]

i dont really know or think that they are prioritizing DLSS or nvidia users as many people with 30 series cards still prefer using FSR over DLSS.
i feel like asking a gtx1080 to run 144 fps is still asking alot at 1440p without having like medium settings and medium FSR or something i would think as long as your staying over 100 fps it shouldnt be to noticeable as the monitor should run smooth up to 144hz not 144hz only.
i would personally rather run 110 fps at 1440p with decent graphics than get 30 more fps at 1080p and it look like garbage lol
i would maybe mess around with your AA settings i use epic KTAA i think if you would turn some stuff down that is not as important you could run pretty good settings and get good fps at 1440p but yea i dont think your getting a solid 144fps without a new generation card i do think you could get it around 110-120 fps though. i was getting around 100 on my 1070ti at 1440p.
i do still question why the fps is so up and down after the 1.8 patch sometimes i see over 200 fps and sometimes on the same lap only 110 at 4k with a rx6800 with high/epic and a couple medium settings honestly i think thats really good for a graphics card that is not really made to run 4k 120hz and pre 1.8 it would be like a steady 90-100 only though so it was still a giant boost in performance for me i also have turned some settings up more now and am still getting better performance so i guess it just does not work out the same on all systems.
there are other new games i only get 60fps or even less at 4k so i really dont think ACC is as bad as people are making it out to be only when comparing it to really old sim racing games more or less and its just sort of expected for a newer title to need newer hardware.

I have had my battles with this game with my Rift S but i know 2 things, possibly more :P.
1. You can have the same setup, hardware etc and one persons will work where some wont.
I have spent the whole time i have on this single game trying to get it looking good and simply gave up, flat screens looks so good but i dont use a screen anymore for SIM racing.
2. This is the only game i have ever struggled with to get VR looking half decent with out wanting to throw up. Never been able to do even 2 laps FFS with out feeling sick.


Cant say i have a crap system, check my specs out.
Cant say i dont know what im doing when i been gaming since the mid 80's and building systems for best part of 20 years and running servers and networks for over 15.

There has never been anything i cannot fix until now, this has become the only thing i cannot fix from from years in ICT.

I asked for my $ back and they refused, i complained to Steam, they didnt give a ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
One thing i know, NEVER AGAIN with this developer, i work with Devs all day long and they simply spit in your face when you say ACC has issues. They all rubbish it.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. If you enjoy it, keep playing, some of us wont, i now spend time on AMS2 because it works and the car handling rocks.

Uninstalled this yesterday, then re-installed it, went straight to the epic VR setting and the game looked great but ran like a 3 legged dog. ACC has been ruined IMO with the integration of DLSS and FSR, choose either and it is just a blurry mess, maybe if i went back a few Nvidia drivers it would work again but just like DCS world, I have spent far too much time trying to get it looking decent with decent frame rates.

This game came alive after I upgraded from a 3770K to a 9900K but has now reverted to blur city. I have faith they will sort it but for the time being I have binned this and am sticking to AMS2 and rFactor2.

[TCR Apex]

It’s your setup

[Trezoitao38]

Ok, I try with FSR now. Didnt know this work with my 1080.

Now, run at 1440p with the same performance as run at 1080p.

[Wylie28]

A 1070 is barely enough for 1440p at a game of this fidelity. Get real.

[Gankdalf The Dank]

yeahh not sure what the issue is, 1070 is not gonna drive triples in modern demanding titles. Benchmarks speak for themselves thats a LOT of pixels. Your expectations based on the demands of rendering said resolution on 3 displays with your GPU is the problem, game runs quite well for me on 2070 super at 1440p single display. FSR or DLSS is definitely a boon for running triples as well, DLSS being the preferred choice but obviously not available on 10 series cards.

Also the game has been repeatedly and well documented across the sim community as being a poor choice for VR so there shouldn't be surprises at this point the information is widely available DYOR before making purchases

[Vinnie the eel]

I'm on a i5-3570 and Radeon R9 380x
Runs great 75 solid on my own at 1080p, with 20 other cars in race average 60 fps, but i only got a couple settings on epic, everything else is a mix of mid to high, and FSR is enabled too, and environment fog seems to cause stutter for me so off with that, and also no mirrors either...tsk who needs mirrors?!...i'm going forwards...fastly

[ArchieMidis]

Quite frankly ACC is a buggy mess under the hood. I've given up on VR and I am running an 11thGen i5 @4.6GHz and RTX 3060ti nothing overclocked.
This game and, (no other), can reboot my machine when going between menus...... NO OTHER GAME HAS ISSUES. I have to set my GPU power in a tweaker to 95% to prevent this game from crapping my PC.
This game has been shockingly progammed under the hood. The VR is fukn unplayable while Automobilista 2 looks better and even feels smooth if you dip well below 90fps on VR.
I like ACC, but if they want to be taken seriously in the Sim racing market, THEY HAVE ALOT OF WORK TO DO.
I can't comprehend how moving between menus in the game (not VR btw, as I have officially given up on that), would make my GPU ask my PSU (which could be faulting and I have a new 750w Gold to replace it with, just haven't bothered yet cause NOTHING else crashes my PC, but this buggy crap sim), to do things with voltages.
I mean what the **** is that all about. Not rendering graphics, in the menus and boom! Reboot.
AVV is a ****** buggy mess in all sorts of ways and I cannot take it seriously as a contender for sim racing in the future, ubnless they pull their heads out of their ass and factor in some quality control BEFORE taking our money.
and Yes I CAME HERE TO COMLAIN AND MOAN, cause in the last 2 weeks, I've spent HOURS in the game and had 1..... yes 1 race that I would consider as being a fun experience.
ACC has pretty much sickened me so much, that even if a new PSU stabilises it, I will be favouring other titles and def other sims.
They REALLY NEED to get their ♥♥♥♥ together as a developer.

basically, Kunos are better than the Unreal Engine. UE is just ♥♥♥♥♥ for anything other than FPS games. Its not Kunos at fault here, its the ♥♥♥♥ engine. So happy they are giving up on UE for AC2

They're stupid for giving up on UE right on the verge of UE5 which handles graphics and is miles beyond anything else. Just look at what even modders are doing with it. Whatever they come up with at this point will be behind the curve. But Kunos fanboys will elevate it to the stratosphere. Because Kunos can't do any wrong. to the fanboy that is.

[DrDeath]

You are on a outdated GPU, very outdated GPU.

[TCR Apex]

get a better computer for tri monitors lol

[mug23_2000]

Mine 10th gen i7 OC to 5.2 GHz with RTX 3090 OC 32GB of RAM running triple at 1440p at epic settings is getting above 100FPS. Going to be upgrading to 12th gen i9 and waiting for the RTX4090 card. Yes, your GPU is outdated for sure.
