The ACC GPU Benchmark Thread

You should first provide some benchmark results in different conditions. What you say is certainly not generally true and so far, we only have some very vague reports and assumptions from you.

 

8% improvement on FPS

ACC 1.1.1

 

Before the v1.1, the sunny condition had the highest framerate....now it's cloudy and rain which have the highest framerate....maybe the next update will be the sunny condition optimisation

 

hm logical i think could be no sun->no sharp shadows

According to Afterburner maximum values reached:
GPU clock 2.074 mhz, temperature 1: 80 degrees, temperature 2: 109 degrees after 15 min
VRam clock 900 mhz, temperature: 94 degrees
Power 231 watts

 

There seems to be an improvement, after all. Nice.

 

I'm not sure, no proper testing but it seems like it's hitting my CPU harder. Time to do some testing i think.

 

Seeing how small the performance gap in ACC is between a 2060 and a 2080, I'm currently selling my 2080.
From the revenue, I already ordered an RTX 2060 for my main PC and a GTX 1060 for my secondary PC I'm currently building. There will maybe still be ~50 € left out of this trade that I can spend on the ACC DLC ;-)

I just realized that I played more COD WW2 (~30 % GPU usage with max settings) than ACC at the moment and when I play ACC, it's always online and there are no "thunderstorm at night" races - it's usually quite friendly weather settings and the GPU sits at ~60 %. The system is not very economical like this.

Will run the benchmark with the new 2060 during the weekend. something between 80 and 90 FPS AVG will be just fine for me.

 

If your GPU is at 60% and you aren’t running VR either your settings are too low or your CPU too weak

 

Well this is a first ! I guess its a financial decision because while a game today may be similar in performance between 2060 and 2080 its not going to be like that tomorrow ! Just look at RDR2 performance , my 1080Ti cant even do 1440p that well where SOTTR is 1440p maxed , AC is maxed at 4k where ACC is optimised settings at 4k (85% res scale) .

 

It's more like the FPS variation in ACC is too high. I picked this GPU to maintain 48 FPS during the absolute worst case scenario. But I learned that in actual online racing, this scenario never occurs. So with the reasonable 74 FPS cap for my 75 Hz FreeSync Monitor, pretty high GFX settings and the conditions usually chosen by MP hosts, the GPU is just too powerful for the job.
Increasing GFX settings even further doesn't make much sense. The game looks very good as it is with my settings and the real issues of ACC (blurriness and jaggies) can't be changed, at all.

ACC is the most demanding game I play, by far. It's also currently the most demanding sim on the market. If in a couple of years time I will play something more demanding, a reasonably priced 3060 or whatever can replace my current GPU.
It's an efficiency decision and includes the economical aspect. An RTX 2060 fulfils my expectations in ACC just as well as an RTX 2080 that runs at 60 %. So having a 640 € GPU in the PC instead of a 300 € GPU is just not efficient.

Here's the result of my new RTX 2060:

Will now run an online race with the old settings from my RTX 2080.

 

Here's the result from my new 2nd PC, using an Inno3D GTX1060 6GB, no overclock.

Average framerate : 48.7 FPS
Minimum framerate : 32.7 FPS
Maximum framerate : 77.5 FPS

Although this result isn't any better than the 2 other 1060s we have in the database, I recently get very good performance with many cars on track, rain and night. I remember that the changelog included an entry regarding this and it really seems to work. I set a graphics preset "balanced" for clear weather situations and then switched to rain and night, looking to adjust the preset, accordingly. But the performance was almost identical, I didn't have to change a thing.

@pankykapus this is excellent work. This secondary PC was build on a tight budget just for the occasional shooter session and office stuff. But I see that in FHD and with 6 GB, very good visuals at steady 60 are now possible. So I'll dig up the gamepad and will race a bit on this PC, as well.

I'll update post 1, soon.

 

What is your optimized settings?

On AMD Driver Tuning Setting "Automatic Overclock GPU" the Game or the PC Crashes

 

I'm attaching for you the 3 settings I have worked out, so far. They're not for my signature system but for 2nd PC:

- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
- RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000 CL16
- GPU: Inno 3D GTX 1060 6 GB
- Monitor: 1920*1080

You can run very high settings with this hardware until you go from "medium rain" to "heavy rain". The FPS really drop hard in that setting when cars in front kick up water on your windscreen. The worst drops you'll see when the field is still close together.
I will work out settings for "daytime medium rain" and "daytime heavy rain", too and share them here. Right now the AI seems to have some starting bug so I'll have to wait until that's fixed.

You'll have to drop the files in ***your Documents folder***\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Customs\VideoSettings

Enjoy

 

I am interested to see how my VEGA64 compares here
Just struggling to figure out which track , weather conditions and opponents amount is the basisfor this benchmark
Is that the one pictured in the OP? Thanks

 

Yes, all in OP.
