A poll to test car control!

[eobet]

This is for people with mid range computers:

If you have having a bit of problem with controlling, for example, the Ferrari under a slide, could you please try the following:

1. Turn off v-synch
2. Set the frame rate limiter to 60
3. Turn AA and AF all the way down
4. Turn world detail all the way to minimum

Try the Ferrari again, and please tell me if you feel anything different?

Remember, it's not about how the game looks, I am purely wondering if you feel anything different...

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT ABOUT HOW FAST YOU CAN GO, IT IS ABOUT CONTROL!

Turning off v-sync alone will dramatically decrease input lag.

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

interesting ! I'm going to try this tomorrow.

I think that Stefano himself wrote whole epos about v-sync in AC. Not even mentioning other people...

Check AC official forum and RD's one. I'm pretty sure you'll find tons of info about this matter.

I did it some time ago. I tried cap 15-cap 30-cap 60-uncapped 100-uncapped 180(low settings). I started having problems with fps capped at 15. In every other situation I managed to make the same exact lap times (m3 gt2 - imola Vallelunga - 1.32.5).

That's like 10 s faster than anyone else. Conrats!

 

[Si3v]

You're right... my mistake, I wanted to write Vallelunga.

Thats how most of the games are with VSync on, if you have a 60Hz monitor with a 60 FPS cap. That's how LFS acts, too... Try limiting the FPS a bit more, to like 55 and it will get on well.

I think it's a placebo effect that my g27 reacts faster. I tried drifting again, but the g27 is too slow too switch from left to right drifts.

I did some extensive hotlapping at Mugello today in the P4/5 and decided to test with lower settings. At my normal settings (all high, HDR off, only use that for replays) I get around 110-130 fps with triple screens (not rendered seperately). I tried lowering the settings to achieve 250-280fps, and did not go faster.

The laptime was a 1:46.8, default setup at Mugello, super hard tires. That is pretty fast I believe, so at the limit it didnt make much of a difference, if any.

I am quite picky when it comes to fluidity, thats why I go for high fps. I dont understand how people can drive with 50fps though, its super sluggish and vague, but for me its like that in iracing as well.

PS: Kudos to AC, it looks pretty good at lower settings.

 

[stabizisback]

Uh, sorry, didnt see that it was for mid range computers, didnt plan on being a smartass. Not this time.

What GPU are u using?

 

[Joco Gorenc]

I have basically no input lag with following settings:

FPS Limit 90(almost constant 89.999FPS ingame)

Setting Maximum frame latency(or something) from 0 to 1(think system/cfg/dx11 file).

But even if you get wheel lag, it's only visual. However it helps if the wheel is synced even if only visually.

Are you telling me that Kunos only gives you a mid range computer to race on?

Also, I mentioned the Ferrari on purpose, because that thing is a beast that (imo) takes some skill to handle in a slide...

 

[stabizisback]

What GPU are u using?

GTX Titan.

I added a bolded disclaimer to the first post, because both Si3v and stabizisback seems to have missed that I chose my words very deliberately when I created this topic.

For those of us suffering from lag, it is mostly apparent when the car has lost some grip and you are trying to recover. If your recovery causes wild snaps, there might be lag at fault...

 

[Jan-Olov Johansson]

Interesting...I will investigate this tonight as I have exactly that problem with wild uncontrollable snaps that are hopeless to save.

my "Race on" is quite different from yours, people. I play to test.
I wanted a mid range pc because I have to model tracks, fine tune car's shaders, test features, ecc to be able to satisfy the majority of the people.

That's really awesome! Kudos to Kunos.

Just bad luck for us suffering from lag that your setup apparently still doesn't have it.

Did you try every detail on high, and then my settings and just try to slide the Ferrari around a bit instead of going fast? Still not a single difference?
