okay AJ, what is your choice of tracks and do you want to do sprints or long?

I think Alfa vs Lancia might be a possibility....at Modena?

Modena sounds like a good idea, I think the idea is that we stick to the same cars though. As it's a fun run maybe we do a couple of sprints rather than a long one, unless people would prefer more practice in longer races.

I had thought we could test cars as well?

Just work out and give me link and I will set the server up :)

Modena: http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/autodromo-di-modena.5346/

If we're OK to go with the different cars then I reckon Gratulin's suggestion is a good one. The Alfa GTA and the Lancia Fulvia HF http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/lancia-fulvia-1-6-hf.9317/

As much as I love the little Alfa, I think it's going to get absolutely munched. According to a little bit of testing I did, the Lancia is ~15 seconds faster around Bathurst...

EDIT: Disregard that, for some reason the game was choking for framerates when I ran that and seems to have messed big time with the lap times

I did a the fun night with the arse group. I drove the alfa, and  The frame rate suffered a bit around the Lancia and the sound dropped our around the Lancia.
They were 2 second faster at mills too against the alfa

I can't drive the Alfa at all. Bad stuttering. I get a solid 60fps in the Lancia but 25-28fps in the Alfa. Not that I would have chosen it against the Lancia... ;)

Did some practice offline without the Lancia and whilst I'm 3s slower the Alfa is damn fun to play with....

both are fantastic fun cars and should be okay together.., but if foresee tears! I think we need a backup plan.

A: as we planned
B: change the track to see if that is part of the combo problem
C: change the car selection
D: change track too
Thoughts AJ?

May I suggest we try Barbagallo ?
Title: Re: AJ's Fun Run - 17-03-2016
Post by: Gratulin on March 13, 2016, 06:26:57 PM
Barbagallo would be easier to learn "on the night". Modena takes some learning.

Barbagallo is a great track....and it's aussie..... ;D

Unfortunately doesn't fix the fps issue.

Been doing some testing and it appears the problem is the Alfa. I get lousy fps when it's with any other car and at all tracks so far, official content and 3rd party.

If you run the AC benchmark in settings menu,what result do you get?
This is my result,I am running a 48 inch screen  with nivdea DSR, hence the funny res.
My CPU is 1st gen. i7 870 turbo to 3.6 gig
I have no problems with the Alfa.

Personally I don't see any issues with either car FPS wise. But if it is causing issues for anybody then we should probably address that. As to what to do, I'm not really sure.

Not an issue for me as I'm actually driving the Lancia. I just happened to try them out with both cars and noticed it. I have a benchmark done, will zip shortly.

You have much better specs than me. The big killer has been bezel correction. If anyone knows a better tool to handle that than nVidia please let me know.
One of these is pre-bezel correction, the other post.

I don't use nvidia bevel correction at all. I just use the triple monitor setup app in AC (but then I don't play any other games either).

AJ??

Normally fun runs will be a few sprints. Perhaps 12 laps each?
