Planning on Buying rF2: Confirmed Dates + Help on what graphics to use?

Hello Everyone.

as i am sure most of you know (or maybe all of you) that i am planning to get rF2 Fully (Lifetime) at the end of the year.

Confirmed dates: Between September - December 2014.

plus i need help on what is the best settings to use without lag of-course.

I have tested out the latest demo and my PC has done fine with it, but i believe it is on the low settings so i need help max out the settings as much as possible without consequence.

Here are my PC Specs:

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Sapphire Radeon HD5670 1GB GDDR5
Powercool 800W PSU
4GB of RAM
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor (2.6GHz) (4-Core Processor)
ASRock Motherboard (dont know what version)
2 Hard Drives 1x1TB and 1x500GB
2 LG Flatron L1710B Monitors
Logitech DFGT USB

Thanks if you can help me out

Graphic card: buy Nvidia card, GTX660 or so I think its enough for full or high details.

PSU: ok

RAM: 4GB its enough, but with 8Gb u will play very fluid.

CPU: I have Q9300, Is enough, but some loading screens and data processing will take a little time (nothing alarming).

Dunno about motherboard.
 
I had AMD Phenom x4 at 3.6Ghz with 4gb ram with a HDD, it was a nightmare, stuttering everywhere, mega freeze during race near the pitboxes.

I got a SSD with increased ram memory ( 8gb ) it goes well but changing to Intel processors ( 4770K ) was a serious improvement.
 
5670 is something like 30% slower than 5770, which I consider minimum card to get enjoyable experience with rF2 newer tracks. On older tracks it might work ok, on newer tracks it will be pretty much minimum settings. With 5-year old hardware you can't expect much more.
 
I would say buy old "high-end" stuff like I did. I have a i5-2500K, 8GB DDR3-1333Mhz Ram and 2*GTX285(40EUR each for used card) and can run on high details with always over 100fps and 26 cars visible.

Even on one graphic card it runs smoothly on medium details.
 
i ahve a core i5 3350p, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz, a msi Nvidia GTX660 2gb o'c Twin Frozer. I have windows on a 128gb ssd and just rf2 on a 64gb ssd. I run all but shadows on full but I have to use vsync because I get screen tear. I would say the gtx660 would be a great car but can get the gtx 760 now for same price as i paid for my 660

just realised ron I would get another 4gb of ram and a 64bit version of windows if dont already.

If your in the uk ( I think your in wales) check out www.aria.co.uk or www.ebuyer.com I get all my stuff from these

hope helps
 
Edit: later I will explain :)

I was posting a wrong configuration ;) . This is\was my PC:

I just changed RAM and Windows (7). Before 2014 Sakhir race, I was testing a medium-low configuration with heavy rain and 25 cars. Now I'm racing with a medium-high configuration becouse there will be no rain untill staff news.
