1920x1200, mid settings or so (intense stuff like shadows and AA at mid), and 20-30FPS.

Sounds like something's wrong there. Do you usually delete the CARS folder? I used to make it work around 70fps max/high settings 1080p with a GTX770+i5 2500K.
Really? I wonder how are they even able to achieve 1080p and 60fps on PS4 if a 780 can't even manage to get locked 30fps on medium settings
Edit - oh nvm

I've just realised that to fit the 780, I had to remove the drive I used for documents. I think pCARS settings might've reset to something crazy and ran like crap, possibly? I'm just going to whack everything to ultra and lower from there if it's shit.
EDIT: Seems I was right. Just whacked everything to full, tested on the Eifelwald in the rain. Only one car but rain is still intensive, getting 45-50FPS at completely max settings and 1200p. Definitely seems like something was fucky with the saved settings, or lack of.
Deleting the CARS folder on a regular basis is a must, it can create strange problems otherwise. You can also check integrity cache through Steam to make sure everythings working as desired. Check your GPU drivers as well, maybe you didn't delete your old drivers properly? With your hardware, you should have no problem to go high/max with great performance.
Edit: Glad you fixed the problem.

I deleted the old drivers before taking the 560 out, I think it was just being weird. Thanks anyway.
It also seems that the map I was using to benchmark it, Azure Coast, is one of the most intensive. At the starting line, regardless of the number of cars, I get around 18FPS at max settings after testing just there. Once I'm out into the hilly areas it's around 45FPS.
Rain too? What AA? You should have no problem hitting 60fps. Anyway, I recommend you go high on envmap and shadows, Ultra settings eat so much. You can even go mid in reflections. My AA setting is DS2X+FXAA High.
Very nice, but why is the tyre noise louder than the engine..?
Sound, as everything else, is WiP. I don't know how finished sound for the engine of this particular car is. Proper mixing comes last as well.

No rain, and using whatever the right-most AA option is just because I was maxing it out and assumed right=max. I'll check Azure Coast with the settings you just mentioned, but I think the start area with all of those buildings and lights is just a bit too much.
EDIT: Just tested. Using your settings and everything else at max (and still 1200), 6 cars on track and Clear weather, Azure Coast only gets 20FPS near the start.
I've also had problems like this with a GTX 770 and 3570k near the start of courses. I suspect the buildings are part of it and maybe it will be improved in optimization.
That'ss odd. I now have a 4770K, so I can't tell whether your CPU is culprit here, but sounds strange to me that you have such an impact. I had some multiplayer sessions last friday in this track and nobody complained that performance was so abysmal. BTW, in case I misunderstood you, DS9X for AA is not a playable solution (unless you have two titans and a monster CPU). If you still have problems with DS2X, then I'm at a loss.

It's definitely the case. I checked the exact same situation on California Highway with 6 cars and clear weather and got an almost solid 60fps.

Sounds awesome!
Maybe it was set to 'F1'.
Yep. I can't wait to do the top row progression, I've always wanted to do that in a racing game.
So they're working on some cool(er) rain effects for I guess the open cockpit cars:

Super cool stuff. Apologies for those that embed .webm on NeoGAF, I think this is full size.

Very nice indeed.
What's the current car/track roster? How many will the game ship with?
Visor's not doing a very good job of keeping the rain out.
Seems to run quite well on my GPU (a pisspoor 6770) now, used to be terrible before.
Yeah I'd say thats an accurate desciption.. I play on with my DS4 on my lounge PC every now and again and its very twitchy but gets the job done. On my sim rig with my T500RS it feels alot better, though the FFB feels a bit numb. The FFB has nothing on Assetto Corsa or iracing FFB but its improved alot over the last 6 months and its still WIP. Looking forward to judging it when it releases in its final form.

They just need to mask the bottom part out lol.
Damn, I couldn't get used to Shift's controls on a controller. Hopefully SMS tweak it a bit by the time it releases.
Yeah, Shift was dire with a joypad. I've got settings I'm happy with for the GT2 but can't imagine playing it with a controller. In fact, I can't imagine playing any semi-serious racer without a wheel - it just adds so, so much to the experience.
Do we have any impressions from the PS4 version at E3?
pretty nice.
I wish for those racing games that include real tracks, that they'd basically replicate TV camera positions, lenses and movements - eg whatever FIA use for F1 etc.
And maybe cut together a replay a bit like MK8, including some beauty slo-mo shots of the suspension moving when going over kerbs etc.

Fantastic idea.
Unfortunately it still has the local hovering raincloud syndrome. What a shame. PCs and consoles are powerful enough today to have real 3D weather linked to the track instead of following the cars like that. A pet peeve of mine..
Wow, I never knew that. How can you tell?
While Ferrari Racing Legends have great controls on both joypad and wheel..
So it could have been EA's interference again, insisting on changes to Shift's controls as well as the physics. I remember hearing wonderful things about the controls/physics of the preview code for Shift, then EA aparently stamped their feet and the release code ended up as... well, we all know how that one ended.

Niiiiice.
"Project CARS will be the first racing game to properly simulate all the aspects that make the Le Mans 24 Hours one of the most challenging racing events in the world, as gamers will be given the chance to run the event in real-time, facing a full grid of 55 opponents on track."
This is too much!

I just want my damn GT3 RS to work on PS4. If there will be no attempt by Fanatec to get it working (as a way of making people buy new wheels) then I won't buy another Fanatec product. Simple as that.
AI is starting to come along. Still needs many improvement, but right now it' serviceable at least.
I don't think it's Fanatec's decision to make.

I just watched some videos of this game yesterday, and i just cant wait for it to be release on PS4. I decide to switch from X1 to PS4, and was a bit crying because i was losing Forza which i really enjoyed. But this game look like it will replace it easily. Just hope the controls feel like Forza, which i enjoy more than Gran Turismo.
It does, but it's still being worked on so don't expect it to work perfectly yet.
Rift support is still being worked on as mentioned above. A side note on that, apparently the time warp functionality to make things lower latency should be in there next week (I'm hoping in Monday's build). I'm interested in seeing how it feels.
