That's where it should be though right? Especially at lower res and standard quality. I think the gap will become a bit larger if you up to High Q. Its easy to overlook, I also thought I was battling 1080ti's with my 1080, but then I noticed they benched on High :)
Well...stocked GTX 970 should be around 6000 points on standard settings(1080p),my card is nicely OC(+126 GPU,+500 mem)and gets 6880,on high settings difference gets a bit bigger I guess thats maybe because of the RAM issue with GTX 970 but ain´t that bad here is my result on high quality:

gtx970High.png

Also it´s not that I brag about it but this OC is without adding any additional V on my GPU core-clock,I guess I could push it a bit more if I add some V and rise my power limit just for the show.....

Seems like Standard Quality removes every single trace of stutter and brings almost no degradation to images quality. Which is odd , turns out the game might actually not be that CPU limited considering how weak my CPU is.

According to PCGH you can enable a glitchy free mode by hammering the steering.
I edited KeyConfig.ini so you just need to hold space button, when the people leave the car.
[KeyConfig]
MOVE_DOWN=Space,Down
JUMP=S




You can also use custom resolutions, minimum would be 64x64 without crashing...

Benchmark Scores Se more about my 2 in 1 system here: kortlink.dk/2ca4x
Friday i ran this bench and to my surprise my system and here i more thinking of my old CPU would bottleneck my GTX 1080 TI sereously in 1080P but it turns out that is not so bad in standart and high settings (Se my post at #33 for 1080P and 4K scores). But how bad is it at 1080P low and even at 720P low settings. Shall we see?

Again CPU is oc to 4.25 GHz

1080P low settings

So according to the bench graf my system scores above of what is exspected from a system with a GTX 1080 TI and i am even very close to at titan X system. Not what i exspected with a cpu that came out in 2010 and on a platform that came out november 2008 or almost 10 years now.


But 720P low settings must bottleneck this old CPU right? lets se.


So is there? exspected score is 15318 and my got 14996. If there are any real bottleneck its very tiny. yes GPU load drops because of lower resolution and settings but for a real bottleneck i would mean the old cpu shut also bring down the score much more than it dit.


Just to confirm that this is done on a legit X58 system here is a screenshot of my system config and a conformation of overclock.



Hornestly i dit not exspect this result. I exspect result score to be much lower caused of cpu bottleneck at only 720P and low settings.

what i also think is that this game can take advantagte of a 6 core CPU and AMD´s SMT/ Intel´s hyper threading as well. based on these pretty good result and how high load people with Quad core cpu even with HT/SMT on are really close to 100 % load or are at 100 % load the hole time (the last seems not to be uncommen for quad I5 chips). This game is really cpu intensive and on my cpu load where between 60 to 80 % and peaks at 90 % load on at 6 core/12 thread cpu..

Not terrible for my laptop.

GPU is actually a GTX1050, and this is a thin form factor, so the GPU didn't stay at max boost for very long.

Came in a little bit lower than the chart has the RX 580 so that's probably about right.

For those who might want to see how your CPU performs in this game.


Just more proof to show how the FX-83XX has only improved over the yrs in gaming performance once a game is optimised for 8 threads.

Not really, I mean yea, you can still game on it but it shows that even AMD's and Intel's "true" quad cores still out perform it 95% of the time, the fact it is close to the i5 2600k is probably testiment to show how much it has improved/matured over the years as FX could not compete with sandybridge in most things including games, but both fall behind quite a lot when it comes to being CPU limited, that said of course you can still game with one in 2018 as you still can on a 2500k and x58, though there is a noticable performance gap if you are bothered about running say 90fps compared to 60fps, either way it's still very playable imo so yea, they're still capable and relevant.
