Build 5 Thoughts

i'm really waiting for the Jag, also i quite like Zolder too.
what i'd be happy to see in fine system tuning:
- working multiplayer with proper race starts and finishes
- more AI cars added to endurance races
- solving some bugs like going to pit/AI cars stop, race results bug and so on
- some small AI tuning on some places, including the pace of the different cars. for now it looks the speed of the cars is not very real and more is position depending that car/driver depending. (#11 Ferrari doesn't used to win sprint races overall, for example)
- saving option during race weekend/long race
- real ending of a session, it's horrible that everybody stops on track... (but this is the less important...)

 

Curb behaviour thread overload incoming.

 

BTW: Monza, Silverstone and Barcelona means endurance racing without additional lights!

 

Excited to try new Jag and Zolder, interested what enhanced multiplayer means.
Hoping for graphics/performance improvements, and hopefully more FFB sliders like understeer effect.
Also hope that the VR menu disappearing when exiting a session bug is fixed, currently unplayable.

 

oh really

 

Really looking forward to laserscanned Zolder. It's the most interesting track of the game to me.

Would be a nice surprise to get an option to remove steering wheel in cockpit view. I really hope it's at least on to do list.

Wtf is your problem (again)?

 

Looking for performance improvements and general overall looks, especially towards the jaggies..And alot of bug fixing.

 

Waiting for a complete Telemetry API. With every bit we see on the ingame dash exported through the API.
The car is not that much interesting to me, waiting for the Mercedes and Porsche.
Looking forward to Zolder, a course I really like to drive on.

 

The is still a week left.

 

There's only a week left!!!

 

The new RTX 2060 GPU will be in the stores on 15th January, and Build 5 of ACC will be released on the next day. What a coincidence!

 

Maybe they will add RTX support in the next build so we can see if the 2060rtx can hit double digit fps in 1080p with it enabled. Kunos should also charge $1000 for RTX to be enabled in a dlc as Nvidia has already shown these rtx owners will pay anything for this marketing feature. Well if Nvidia was a real partner Im sure that would be one of their suggestions.

 

Given the recent benchmark results of the RTX2070, the 2060 will probably beat AMD's fastest available GPU - the Vega 64. The RTX GPUs seem to have gotten a mysterious boost while the GTX ones haven't. 2070 achieves 110 FPS AVG. Seems reasonable to expect ~80 FPS with a 2060.

 

I am looking forward to every update just because i want to see improvements/optimizations to the game engine, the weather system, lighting, shaders etc.

 

I meant with RTX enabled ,you know the feature they are using to try justifying the price premium for the rtx cards.

Here is a rtx benchmark (I think in 1440p) using the new 3d mark benchmark of all the rtx cards. I wouldn't be surpised if that's close to the numbers in ACC atm, so to be playable it would need 2x 2080ti with sli enabled. or $4000+ just for gpu's and who knows if they will ever add sli to ACC.


Sadly AMD is irrelevant in GPU's atm, fingers crossed they bring something next gen. Im likely to go AMD cpu next if the 7nm rumours are correct. NV hasn't made me interested in their latest GPU's and AMD has nothing worth looking at from my current 1080sli setup.

 

Zolder and the Jaguar are nice, unfortunately the cars I am looking forward to the most will not come out in the EA (Nissan, Lexus). I would like to see some experiments to improve AA, mirrors, some new GFX adjustments or some optimizations for night racing. Furthermore, I would like the addition of cooldown laps, I want to bring the car back to the pits when the crew chief says so. If these things will be done for build 5 or "1.0", I don't really care, but I would like to see at least some hints.

 

Well, actually who thinks that why people should buy RTX cards is the ray tracing is crazy. In my opinion, the ray tracing will give you great performance around 3rd gen GPUs, and not now. I think why the RTX 2060 should be a good choice is because of its 'normal' performance - you will get GTX 1070Ti (sometimes 1080 as you see the reviews) performance for much less money than you could buy a GTX 1070 Ti. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not a fanboy of nVidia, and not a fanboy of AMD or any other company as well. I usually choose GPU of great performance with a good price/performance ratio. I really hope that AMD is going to release those RX6xx cards very soon - so maybe the prices will go a little bit down.

The rumours said, there will be a GPU with the similar performance of the RTX 2060, just without tensor cores - which will be codenamed 'GTX 1160'.

But unfortunately, I need to change my GPU...I did not the best deal with this 3GB version of the GTX 1060.

 

DLSS ist to me the real deal with RTX for now, not raytracing. Saw it 1st person in Battlefield 5 and yes it's very nice looking when "it just works", but when you are just playing the game you notice ****...

 

If you maybe can give us some detailed description of your experience, that would be useful for everybody I think. Or, at least, I would like to listen your own experience about it, I'm really curious about what you can notice when DLSS is turned on.

 

I am speaking of the potential of DLSS that is yet to come to games, there is already an implementation of it in Final Fantasy 15 and it gives you basically the same image quality as before with higher framerates, but renders at a lower resolution than before.
That's the more enticing feature, where you get to keep basically your image quality but get improved framerates.
