Go faster. Basic driving techniques at Game&Track YT channel

Evora GTE Carbon. So the white segment in between should be green, sooner? ;-)

 

Yep. Just before the apex, especially since the camber of the corner keeps you in. Although I dont quite remember how the mod track is in that regard, at least on the scanned version it would be quite early.

 

I've achieved consistency... just need to pick the pace up a bit to get near Philippe

 

I've finally gotten around to taking this challenge. Nailing the braking points was not much of an issue but the turn-in points + wheel lock. I screw up quite often in this regard so I'm trying to find reference points for that. It works. The video helped me to focus on the right things.

Current PB in default setup except for TP 1 click down left, two clicks up right: 1:11.968, 101.9 % of RSR PB. Quite happy with that.

 

This might not be the right thread to ask about it, but still, do you guys use V-sync ON or Off?
I know that V-sync increase the imput lag, have anyone tested how much does it affect the steering?
I tried to set it off in the game and use Adaptive in the Nvidia control panel, but the screen stutter sometimes as it would be off and its very annoying for the eyes.

@Aristotelis what is your opinion about V-sync in racing games, do you use it yourself?
I remember in one of Stefano's stream he said that some developers from Kunos hate V-sync in racing games and don't use it, but I cant understand how you can drive with a stutter screen, when the picture is just starting to mess all arround =))

 

V-sync off here.

I run a 60Hz monitor and cap at 61fps. If you look for it you can see tearing and a tiny stutter every second, but that's mainly if you look at the surroundings in turns (sky with clouds, trees, objects).
On straights I don't notice it and by now I don't notice it. If you concentrate on driving your eyes are focused on sections where you don't really notice that there is a stutter.

And yes, V-Sync gave me a noticeable lag from my steering movements to the virtual wheel and this will affect your driving. Maybe not so much in normal conditions for braking points, turn-in and apex, but more in situations where the car is sliding.

 

Vsync off here, too. 60hz screen, caped at 83. this gives me no tearing and no micro stuttering.

The induced lag with vsync on is very noticeable and distracting for me. It's a real hindrance in catching slides properly, especially in finicky cars like the F40.

 

Vsync on for me. Perfectly smooth compared to the 83 cap I've used before, had mico stuttering and some annoying tearing. Not saying there is no additional lag induced but for me it's no issue.

I'll try different settings incl. freesync when I get a new card.

 

It has beem established by @liakjim that VSYNC on + maximum fram latency = 1 is a good compromise with little additional lag compared to 0 VSYNC.

But it's easy: test all options for yourself. If you're sensitive towards non-smooth image, running without VSYNC will have you turn it back on after seconds and happily accept the little extra lag.
If you're non-sensitive you'll enjoy the reduced lag when turning it off.
I got myself a 75 Hz FreeSync monitor plus AMD GPU. Minimum lag, no tear or stutter. I'm very happy with it.

 

At first I noticed it too of course and thought it would bug me.

But my experience was that you focus on the graphics on the first test instead of the driving.
Once you really concentrate on driving and have you eyes on the track and reference points I didn't really notice it anymore.

Give it a try to just drive for a while and then decide would be my suggestion.

 

I use Nvidea

Thanks! No not default setup. Tyre pressure adjusted, enough fuel for about 12 laps and increased neg camber at the rear.

 

It should be easy enough for you to do a few laps with Aris combo with V-sync on or off and check which one is faster, if there is any difference.

 

Yes, but you should also go online in some open servers where you need to re-adjust your driving a lot due to idiots on track The additional lag might (!) show here as you evade risky situations. The lag really is most important when you're being caught off-guard and need to react quickly...wait for car to settle...react again etc.

 

About V-Sync... I think this is very usefull: http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=5417965&postcount=4

 

I drive in VR, so V-synch is not something I need to concern with, but for those on monitor, you are saying it will not affect your lap time but could affect your reaction time when you need to escape an incident while racing online.

 

Maybe a stupid question but how do you cap your fps?

 

It is done automatically, 75fps for DK2, 90fps for CV1 and Vive.

 

but not in vr?
