System requirements for ACC

Yes, "in order to use". The game default race settings are not usable with the minimum specs.

 

won't buy a new pc this year. the i7 2600 is still okay. but the 750Ti is a bottleneck.
what do you think about a nvidia 1060?
price is okay. when i tell my wife i wanna invest >500 for a 1080....rage quit i fear ...

 

From what I'm reading people have issue even with an 1060, how your 750ti is handling the game ? are you avoiding night time or rain to keep the game playable ?

We have nearly the same cards in term of raw power, so your answer will be interesting for me .

 

1060 6GB is good for the money. I have it and I get night and stormy weather with 15 AI 60-70 FPS. All settings epic except antialiasing and shadows low.

 

Will be able to build a new pc in a few weeks mainly for playing ACC & AC. With reusing some parts of my old machine I want to spend something around 1000€
and came up with the following parts. As I didn't follow hardware trends the last 10 years what do you think about it?
Any suggestions are welcome. Also, would it be better to wait abit longer, due to the nvidea 2000 series coming out? Are price drops likely in the next weeks or months?
Thank You!

i must reduce a lot of settings to get stable 60fps.
sun and single racing.
and i wanna enjoy the full beauty of the graphics.
night and rain i struggle round 30fps. or i must reduce the graphics to tetris style....
hope this helps you a little bit.

 

interesting - now i am greedy and i purchased a 1060 GB
this model:

no one knows whats going on with the bitcoin hype. so i think its really difficult to say if prices will drop a lot or not.

 

I got a 1060 also, the 6 GB version. Thought it'd be time to upgrade the PC, when the new AC is coming. I must admit though that i'd recommend at least a 1070 for this game, if you want to play in Full HD, or 4K (maybe, even get a 1080 at least for 4K...). You can play with high settings with the 1060, yes, but, as lower framerates obviously introduce more input lag, i'd really recommend to get hardware as good as possible. At the moment, ACC IS quite a hog. Maybe it will get better, the more the Early Access develops. At least i turned down the graphics settings to mid, to get a better framerate.

 

That quite the exploit for an 750ti , damn it I want to try it on my pc but I can't get my hand on a steam wallet yet around here .

I think with the incoming optimisations, 1060 for 1080p 60hz is maybe enough.

 

What do you mean with single racing? Just one car?

I would be interested in buying it too, but Im a bit worried about the AI, career and everything that is somewhat uncertain.

Also the performance, it maybe doesn't get better or be even worse on release

But I assume with a 270x I should avoid it now, even I would be ok with AC level graphics, I care more about more immersive environments, intros etc. than the visuals. : /

Edit:
@Kristaps that sounds good, but I assume that will drasticly change with a full grid.

 

@plaid If they want to release ACC on consoles in the far future, they have to heavily optimise their game to render it playable on such hardware as your 270x or 650ti boost which is console level in term of raw power.

 

@plaid - yes one car. so the 750 card is (for me) a no go for acc. you can play acc. but not really enjoy.

 

Which GTX1080 shall I Go for? Are there quality differences between Asus, MSI etc. or is it only about Looks?

 

1060 has arrived!
And i have some exciting hours behind me....
Motherboard is a MS 7228 (bought this MircoStar Medion PC years ago cause i needed a fast solution, never ever had intel before - AMD junkie - and always feeled bad with this decision, but he does is job since 2011/2012(?)) - and the internet is full of stories that new grahic cards make trouble. More exactly the Medion BIOS is so crap that modern Cards didnt work.
After some minutes of changing the card and then - press the button. EVERYTHING FINE. Sing, dance.
Now much more details, nearly everything epic, and stable 70FPS sunny hotlap. WOW. Good decision!
And stronger and different FFB.
First i thought - yeah. Placebo.
But no!
Its stronger and more detailed.
Have thought a lot bout this and for me it makes sense.
If i am wrong i must change my Nick into PlaceboDriver

 

1070 here with around 140 FPS while hotlapping in sunny conditions So I've to upgrade to a 1080TI to get a better FFB Mr. PlaceboDriver?

Uh. Never thought anyone could read my post. *cough*cough*
No seriously:
Is following possible:
In ACC physics generate FFB.
It must be "synchronized" to FPS or bad FPS has bad influence.
When FPS drops too low information loss and/or changing in a way that is not predictable.
When i fiddled around with graphic settings and FPS drops under 30 car lap time drop drastically.
Tetris driving.
That is extreme.
Couldn't it be that there is an "area" of FPS where this is not so drastically but existent?
With the 750 i aimed to get >50FPS but it drops sometimes to ~30.
Now >70 with drops to 50.
I know bout the power of placebo but ... hmmm.....

At a certain amount of FPS the system works "perfect". When you have for e.g. 140FPS and with the 1080ti 145FPS there is for sure no improvement in the FFB.

 

It might be possible if the FPS drops under a specific point.

 

There can be slight differences in build quality, cooling solution and such. Also slightly higher clock speeds / OC version, but usually more costly. Good to check reviews from YouTube. But differences aren't big, basically 1080 is a 1080, no matter who made it

 

After doing a lot of laps here are my experiences with new new graphics card (GTX750TI to GTX 1060 6GB):

- FFB is different, had to drop gain in Thrustmaster panel and ingame bout 10 - no Placebo Driver, it was much stronger
First i thought i could have to do with Thrustmaster update, but i did laps after update before new card without changes in FFB.

- After adjusting the FFB the laps are much more stable, with the 750 i had sometimes bad laps cause something happens on my PC ( Firefox/Thunderbird and sometimes more is running parallel to AC/ACC) and the FPS drops <30FPS - not really good.
Now i didnt notice any drops that are important (maybe from 70 to 50 or so, but ingame i didnt feel it).
Lap after lap is under same conditions, good graphics and slowly i can dig in the characteristics of the lambo.
Again - Wow!

TL;DR
The update was worth every penny
