Anyone else notice a HUGE performance increase

[Greg Latty]

Not sure if what they did or if its due to the new nvidia drivers released today but the game is running B-E-A-utifully for me now. With the same settings except contact shadows turned up to 12 and reflections from low to high, I'm getting like 20-30 more fps than before. Is that possible? I'm rocking a gtx 780 btw. and the game is pretty much maxed out now with the exception of motion blur being off and turn markers off.

yep. GSCE is in my top 3 right now. Although its dated its still looks pretty damn good. Especially when using DSR

To those with performance problems or the curious I use FRAPS and PAL to analyze over the course of a gaming session to find bottlenecks. As stated in another message, R3E runs silky smooth (with vSync) with ALL graphic settings at MAX at a resolution of 2560x1440.

Back again i had a beautiful saturday night with dtm 2014. The improvement is big the game runs faster and smoothly. I put almost everything at high in graphics settings and i had no problem in multiplayer with 10 cars at red bull ring and with wtcc in suzuka with 15 cars .But i have noticed 1.There is no more visual(red color) heating on driver's car(in replays) in dtm's disk brakes .
2. The wheels of wtcc cars(the driver's car because on the other cars is worst) have not so good visual contact with the track when watching in replays(with visuals at high?).
3. The car's suspension(wtcc)doesn't seem to work truly when watching the replays
I wonder if that and perhaps many more that i didn't noticed is a graphics compromise for better gameplay performance.

Concerning disc brakes on DTM, I guess it's normal. I read Audi and BMW have a disk cap (?). Red color can be seen on Mercedes only.

Hmm, i wasn't enabling shadow split because it ate up my fps but i completely disabled motion blur and enabled shadow split, kept everything else exactly same. I get the exact same fps with a clearer image and without ugly shadows. Nice!

Same here. Except I have FXAA off as well. I couldnt take the ugly shadows.
