Post your system specs and frame rates

[MoonieGT]

I'm getting ready to build a new PC after over 4 years, and I'd like to see what kind of frame rates people are getting on their systems:

My proposed system is:

E6300 processor (possibly overclock...)
Gigabyet GA-P965 S3 motherboard
2 gigs of OCZ Gold ram
eVGA 7900GT

I'm hoping I can turn everything up to high with at least 20 cars and run 60+ frames at 1280x720 on my projector.

[Fletch]

ASUS A8N-E nForce 4 chipset
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (OC @ 2.5GHz)
2GB Corsair RAM (OC @ 415MHz)
ATI Radeon X1900XT 512MB (620/720MHz)
Enermax 500W PSU
Audigy 2 ZS-Platinum
2x old Samsung IDE HDD's

Res: 1280x960x32@60Hz
Renderer: DX9
FSAA: Level 2 (4x)

In-game settings all Full/High except shadows which are Medium; a big boost in FPS without losing much graphical quality.

I'd say about 80% of the time I'm above 60 FPS. If not 60, it's usually around 40 FPS but that is when there's a lot of cars around. It can drop to the 30's down the pit straight when there's ~40 cars at the track. In the rain it's pretty much the same but night racing it can go crap. I tend to turn off the high res stuff when I do 24H races so I can keep my FPS high.

GTR2 is more CPU based than GPU based, so, having a good CPU is the key to high FPS here, but, of course you do need a decent GPU.

Looking at your proposed specs, you should have no probs running the game.

[KarlosDaJackal]

specs in my sig, get 120fps most of the time.

have everything in the game maxed, and anti-aliasing on the first level. Run the game at 1920x1200

On a busy track like spa with rain and lots of cars it might fall to 60 occasionally.

in our recent league race at hockenhiem I was getting about 150fps

system:
e6600 (2.4ghz) small overclock to 2.7ghz (stock cooler)
asus p5w64 ws pro motherboard
2gb gskill pc6400 'HZ'
radeon x1900xt
onboard sound

game settings:
1360x768 res (26" samsung hdtv)
level2 (4x) AA
dx9
8x Anistropic
ingame options - all high/full except shadows on medium.. havn't tested changing these settings yet

What kind of temperatures you get? (Planning to build a new system w/ E6600 and thinking about oc options...)

[Dan]

according to intel thermal analysis tool, which is much better and more consistent than any mobo as it reads direct from the cpu itself, high 40's idle and low 70's with both cores under 100% load - which never happens running real life apps...
most mobo's show 10-15°c cooler temps at the same time


I'm going to get a better cooler very soon though.. this intel one sucks , but I've given up on big overclocks as its too much hassle and noise, and with conroe we've finally got to the point where cpu's are fast enough not to need it

[Zieman]

@ GamePC.com they claim to have oc'd E6600 to 3,0 GHz w/"using stock air-cooling methods" (I quess not the stock Intel cooler though...) and 100% stability, very interesting

[C6MadMan]

Intel D865PERL Motherboard
1 Gig Kingston 400 mem
Sound Blaster Audigy LS
XFX GeForce 5900 Ultra 256mb DDR
Gravis GamePad Pro. (Yeah, I use a gamepad to race with.)
Viewsonic 21" Digital

Everything is set to Full. I run at 1024X768 32.
I usually average between 70 and 100fps. Except for SpaFrance. With full field I will drop to 30-40fps

maybe they did, I just threw it in there at 300fsb (nice round number) and minimum volts and its running rock solid
previously I had it running @ 3.5ghz 24/7 watercooled until the old mobo threw a wobbly and fried the ram at the same time.. now I just can't be bothered anymore

[MrYubby]

I'm new to NoGrip, nice to meet you.

I just built a new machine to run GTR2, here's the specs:

Intel CoreDuo E6700, overclocked to 2.93gHz
Intel 975XBX2KR motherboard
HIS Radeon XT1950 IceQ Turbo, 512MB
2GB Corsair OC memory

Run GTR2 at 1280x1024, 32bit, 72Hz refresh
DX9 rendering
2x Antialiasing
Anisotropic filtering set to auto (app preference)
Omega 3.8.291 Radeon drivers
DirectX image quality set to maximum
All details in GTR2 set to maximum, high fidelity replays
24-car field

This setup works great with GTR2, frame rates normally range from 65-140, with minor lag with some of the converted tracks. Nordschleife is the worst at 35-45fps in-car.

-AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
-Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S4 mb with nForce 590 SLI chipset
-Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 single stick of 1024MB RAM
-2 x GeForce 7900GS in SLI
-Soundblaster Audigy Platinum EX


Max details, Medium Shadows, 4xAA
1280 x 1024 resolution, 32-bit, 72 Hz

I get about 80 frames per second average, 16 car grid, dry weather.

Sounds good
I quess I'm gonna go that way too => less noise and less a chance of frying components :cool::

yep thats my plan now.. the 300fsb = 400mhz ram which is its rated speed, so thats also running at low volts now too

TBH I dont notice any difference in GTL/GTR2 at the new lower cpu speed

[Fool_1njection]

You guys all have great rigs running 40+ frames but why dont u guys run with larger grids of cars like 30+ cars as the framerates for most should be above 25 which is like a perfect frame rate on the biggest tracks with no lag at all, trust me my friend runs 38 cars or 32 all the time and gets a minimum of 20 frames which is not really noticable lag as it only happens for a split second. He runs on max settings except shadows on medium with 1.5 gig ram 2core intell and Gforce 6800.

[jsimmons]

Anything below about 35fps gives me a headache.

Hey man, I'd highly suggest that you do not get a gigabyte motherboard and ocz memory.. those two together will give you the biggest headache of your life (compatibility issues). I went through it for a month. Either get a different mobo or different ram. IMO I'd suggest a mobo other than gigabyte.

Core2Duo @ 435FSB 3.05Ghz, 2gb ram @ 435mhz, 1900xtx

6x AA, 16x AF, 1680x1050, all in game settings maxed out.

FPS range from 80 low to 140

Hi All
Would someone tell me how to display fps in GTR2.
Can't seem to kind the "key" to it.
Thanks

CTRL+F whilst in game on track

yes how do i check my fps on gtr 2

my specs r

Core 2 E6600 CPU (running stock)
Gigabyte DQ6 Motherboard
2Gigs Corsair Pro Rams
750Watt PSU
7950 GX2 GPU
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Soundcard
74 Gig Digital Western Raptor HDD (i think that's what it's called)

and the only prob i have is with fps r the add on tracks like Adelaide, i have all settings maxed out, like AAx4 n AFx16 IQ High Quality, Supersampling on

when i play the normal tracks, all is good, really smooth gameplay, but when i play most add on tracks the AA doesn't seem 2 work at all, forced in game or by Nvidia's control panel, and it's kinda jumpy or glitchy like i don't have enough ram.............. maybe i need 2 turn my shadows down but i don't think that's the prob cause my friends set up is smooth with everything maxed out, and his AA works on add on tracks (think it's cause he has two
X1950 crossfired) but still my set up is almost the same as his except for mobo n 2 vid cards, so i don't understand y AA won't work on Add on tracks or y it's not smooth on add on tracks but i'm still in my learning stages on PC's, so i'll hopefully figure it out soon

[brownbox]

I get 50-60 fps with all settings maxed, at 1280x1040 on my 19"CRT

Specs
Gigabyte GI8195G Pro
3GB Geil DDR2 RAM
400W PSU
Palit Geforce 7600GS 256MB DDR3 OC 700/1500 Volt Mod

Hello friends and entusiasts of GTR2, i m so :cry:

Unfortunately my system for now its only:
Laptop Samsung R50 Pentium M 1,73Mhz,1Gb DDR2, Hitachi 60Gb 5400 rpm
and the worst…..:cry: ATI X300 128mb, but a little overclocked with omega drivers i m running at 1280x800x32, Dx8, AAx2, all settings medium/high, shadows low, grid with 25 cars I can only have 30/40fps, in dry, it depends a lot of kind of track and sections sometimes like Laguna or Watkins i make 50fps.
At 1024x768 the frames go to 50/60fps.
At night and wet theres a huge drop of frames, almost impossible to run.

But remember guys that the human eye can only see at a maximum of 25fps, more than that, theres no perception.
So please don t put me so bad :cry: :cry:
