Generic Weekly Hotlap Challenge #254

So the Nvidia cards just seem to work better especially for ACC performance wise it's a huge difference versus the Radeon cards so it wouldn't even be worth considering getting a Radeon card if you're going to use your PC primarily as a Sim rig and playing a lot of AC and ACC.

The new cards are all 3000 series from Nvidia and it goes 3060 then 70 80 90.

Performance goes up as well as price obviously but within each model say the 3070, and there's probably 40 different cards made from different manufacturers that have different clock speeds and number of fans etc. but you should be able to Google best 3070 card for example and you'll find plenty of videos breaking it down.

Epic is to graphics setting it is the most demanding and prettiest visuals.

Dlss is the new anti-aliasing technology Nvidia has come out with that is constantly learning and it adapts I guess and it makes your game perform better with an FPS bump. Usually around 5 to 15 FPS with each step. it has settings from best visuals to best performance.

FPS from the PS4 pro should be 60 Max that's the highest a PS4 pro can give in a game I believe.

But on a computer your FPS has no limits it's all dependent on your processor and your graphics card and then you need a TV or monitor that can then display in hertz that many FPS. Hertz equals FPS in gaming. so the higher the hertz screen you have the more FPS it can actually translate from your computer.

For example on the PS5 you can play in 4k 120 FPS / Hertz if you have a TV that can handle it or monitor

My TV is only 60 hertz 4K, but my computer can do 100 FPS in game when I play ACC but my TV can only translate 60 HZ so I'm technically only getting 60fps maximum at any time because that's all my TV can display.

 

Wow! Thanks @SlowGrayAudi - hugely informative!

I'm cut n pasting that to refer to, as and when

 

No problem at all!

Ask any questions you have. We'll all do our best to help. Im not the most knowledgeable but i know some.

Im sure goodgame and local_man can help as well. Although local_man has been absent for a while.

Very near my capabilities. 10.32 is reachable, but there's compromise with consistency. I've been using 3 clicks aft brake bias from wet standard setup.

TW, one story I can tell, it took me just one lap at my brother-in-law's PC in ACC to make my decision and buy a PC. You won't regret. PC configuration sounds overwhelming, but more important than the "right" config is to avoid a "bad" config. For that purpose I'm sure WHC participants will be willing to help.

SGA, try later enabling FSR instead of DLSS. I've seen an YouTuber stating that he preferred FSR over DLSS. My video card is weaker, but I've been experiencing about 120fps in 4K and FSR in performance mode. (DLSS not available for me, as I'm on a Radeon GPU)

My TV is also 60Hz, but, surprisingly, you can benefit from higher than 60fps on this kind of tv, the point here is to reduce input lag.

Regarding low fuel motorsports, great ACC servers and racing system, imo it fills a gap ACC had.

Ill have to try fsr. I have an nvidia card so not sure if it works or not. But dlss on performance mode i got around 135 fps at 4k. I could only muster 90ish with regular AA.

 

FSR is an AMD software based solution that works I any video card. Here is the video I watched:

Regarding higher fps on 60Hz monitor.

Fun that....I never drive the KTM but it's a proper little go-kart in the wet.

First time ever driving this combo, let alone in the rain. Only got time for 2 quick laps to get pressures set then one full run.

Definitely more time in it as i feel like I'm really bad in the braking zones.

Uploading pictures isn't working for some reason, I'm trying to get it fixed

 

Got it

 

Re the DLSS convo. It is also dependant on your current CPU strain. If the the CPU has plenty of headroom the FPS will improve more, that came from Aris’s vids. So even thought the GPU could do more with DLSS, it’s not always going to be able to. Wow, I’m really starting to sound like a PC guy

TW, my summary would be, after a lot of waffle from me - if you want the best experience of every racing sim available, get a PC. If your happy with how consoles play these games and the limited selection, stay with a console (which will improve with the new ones - but will still not be quite as good).

 

I don't think it's TW who needs to be persuaded.

It's his wife.

I think I'm getting near to the limit of my abilities now.

 

For those on the ACC side. Make sure you lower that brake pressure to 90 or lower.

Just a tip if anyone isnt doing it. Also, dont just stamp on the brake pedal, you need to modulate it near the limit of engaging the ABS. Or your braking distance is significantly increased

Didn’t see the replies saying post the improvements as you go - this is where I got to Friday before work got in the way!

Should have more time today so hoping to improve still.

And with braking turned down to 90%, huge difference in braking and forgot to do it again even though SGA gave the same advise in last wet WHC. No 44’s in this time which I am able to achieve now.

 

I thought, if I could persuade myself to buy a computer to play games on, I could certainly persuade my darling wife!



And thanks for the input @TinPeach I won't reinvest with Sony, so it is only a matter of time....

Well done everyone! Close battle on the ACC side, and the sloppy street car @SPA didn't draw as many people as I had hoped. Will the lure of Laguna bring out some more participants next week? If you have a combo request please lmk.
