Anybody using a GTX 770 2GB

Michael Hornbuckle · May 15, 2014

I'm probably going to buy this card tomorrow and wondering how many frames with how much eye candy to expect with 1920x1080 on a single screen?

I am happy as long as I can get 60 fps that is smooth and stutter free; any idea of how many faces per frame and what cube resolution I should be able to run?

I have a single Titan, same as Michael's settings, maxfps set to 120 for 4096x1080 and it stays pretty steady, doesn't even run hot.

doesn't it drop to 60fps when in the last fullgrid position? ( not to mention replays) ...let's say lotus125 at Monza...

no

In any case, T1 mayhem is CPU related, not GPU.

Sorry i didn't get that one. Did you just say you dont drop to around 60fps, with
Michael Hornbuckle settings, on the back of a Lotus125 fullgrid in Monza?
By the way: what Cpu do you have?

Yes, that's what I said.

Some I-5.

I play with a 770 and get great performance at very high visual settings all around, and at 1440p. A GTX 770 will give you all the eye candy you need as long as the other components are up to par.

Sorry but that is impossible. Show us a video.

I am seeing terrific performance in v0.10 multiplayer and also AI races.
Sorry, here we go with the settings:

1920x1080
16x AF / 4x AA / 0x FXAA
Shadow Res: High
World Detail: Maximum
Smoke: Normal / Smoke Mirrors: Off
Mirror Reflections: High / HQ mirror: Off
Cubes: Med / Faces: 3

Starting 24th place AI grid - Fabarth @ Imola:

56FPS - Minimum happens for a moment off the grid
60-70FPS - Average 1st lap
90FPS - Maximum peak
80-90FPS - Average once the cars are spreadout

Same settings as above but with 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling:

52FPS - Minimum happens for a moment off the grid
60-65FPS - Average 1st lap
70FPS - Maximum peak
65-70FPS - Average once the cars are spreadout

Seems like the gap got smaller. Nice update.

Ooops!!!

Wrong thread

sorry, but the issue is really not interesting enough to me to go through the effort of recording and posting a video.

Are these using triples? I'm asking because I'm currently thinking of upgrading my 650TI boost for the cheapest GPU I could get for good enough settings and triples.

Nope not triples. 1920x1080 as stated at the top of my settings

Hoping to get my triples running at some point, but involves a massive rethink of where I have my rig positioned.
I have the hardware, but not the inclination to be bothered at the moment.

Oh, I was assuming it could be triples with 1920x1080

But you're sure this card would be enough for that? Any idea what frame rates it would have w/ AI/MP? Any reason for getting the 4GB variant over just the 2GB?

Paul Lock · May 27, 2014

When running triples, the overall resolution is the sum of the 3 monitors, so if all 3 were @ 1920x1080, my resolution would be 5760x1080. Obviously there are lots of combos of resolutions to choose from depending on what you can get away with.

The 770 4GB card would certainly be enough to run the game across 3, but at what detail level and resolution I have no way of knowing as I have not tested it out for myself - plus everybody's rig is different.
Throw AI at the CPU and you will get different results to same number of cars on a MP grid - you could have the power of 10 Titans but if your CPU is bottle-necking then you wont see more frame, just the fact your GPU is 95% idle.

The reason I bought 4GB over 2GB was so I can run 3 screens - I have 3 screens, I just don't have the room to set them up as it involves a total rethink of where I keep my gaming rig.

In my opinion, at GTX 780 is minimum for running triple screen, if you like eye candy, weather effects, night racing, lots of AI or MP opponents, and still maintain 60 FPS. Too me I need that 60 FPS.
I have a factory overclocked 780 and I have to tone things down a little in most of my racing sims (some more than others), not down to the point where it doesn't look good but I can get dips on FPS if I turn on too much. My i7 seems fine in most cases, and I have plenty of graphics and system memory.

Whoa, it's more than $100 over the 770. Hmmm.

Way more than $100 over, but triple screens are VERY demanding. That's a lot of pixels to push.

Yeah, I was hoping the 770 variant would do.

Michael Hornbuckle · May 28, 2014

I would imagine the 4GB 770 would be fine for trips..You might not have alot more eye candy than minimum, but honestly there isn't a whole lot of difference between minimum and maximum as long as both have 4x AA and 16X AF.
