I own precisely 0 paid oval content.

But maybe I'll buy a dirt track. We can do a GT3 Cup dirt race LOL

What are your shadow settings and mirrors? Nurb GP has a lot of grandstands that in turn have a lot of crowds that in turn have a lot of shadows that show up in the distance. It's a lot of draw calls.

If you haven't already turned off shadow volumes completely off, turn them off completely. They're extremely taxing on the CPU because they have to sort the entire scene multiple times per frame.

If you turn off maps on dynamic objects should see an immediate difference as well.

Make sure mirrors are at the lowest settings and disable as many as you can. Every mirror draws the entire scene.

I have the virtual mirror off, and all the shadows off. I have 3 mirrors on, but I'll bump it down to 2.

Now that sounds like a great idea!

My video card is on it's way back to me. Hopefully it's a new one and I'm back up and running right away.

Maybe we could do the glen again before the PCA race? I can use all the practice I can get.

User 52121

Cool did they actually confirm they found a problem?

I could set that up for next week. This Weds we're set for Donington.

JustinL

No word. Just said they're shipping me something.

User 52121

Hmm ok well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Was only Kevin, Derby and I last night. Tight qualifying - 0.2 between pole and P3.

We got a little spread out at first, then Derby spun on his own and seemed to retire. I hung around in the lead for a bit, noticing that Kevin's delta back to me was static over many laps... so I slowed up, waited for him, then tucked in behind. Wound up having a really fun battle for the last few laps - we were pretty well dead even.

Here's some helmet cam footage of the end:

I'm having a pretty terrible racing week, so I cut my losses and had a beer.
