You'll need to turn a lot of settings down, switch AA to off and use FXAA or SMAA on one of the lower settings.
Wouldn't guarantee 60fps in the rain but you might be able to get near enough with a lot of tweaking and keeping the grid size to below 20.
EDIT: oh yeh AMD... Get an Nvidia card and you would be ok...
I noticed that my Button Assignments and configuration wasn't saving for me (on PC). I found it wouldn't save if i hit B on the controller, but did if i hit the "<" in the top left of the screen with the mouse (comes up with a saving icon in the bottom right after clicking).
Wait for AMD to release the new drivers first

Well damn, decided against an GTX 670 at the same price, because I could order the 270X refurbished from a seller.
How long til a patch from AMD will be released?

I thought i would enjoy, but learning to brake without ABS has been a pain. I have a bad set of pedals (G25) so in other sims it was the one thing i usually left it as training wheels.
After reading the Stig and Nic talking so much about realistic braking i've decided to try to run without ABS in this game but the results are pretty much hit and miss. In the rain the AI can always brake way later than me.
Guess i'll have to play with the settings a lot.
Also, the fourth gear on M1 Procar is a nightmare, it never engages. I've found out that it's best to shift without lifting off... which is supposed to be a mistake... anyone else having issues with this car? (mostly in the challenge, at Monza).

I'm very interested in this game. How does it compare to Assetto Corsa? Are the physics that different? I'm used to Gran Turismo and Assetto Corsa is the most sim like racing game i've played on PC so far. How would it run on a 780? Is there dynamic night/day and rain/snow? And lastly, is there rallying and a large selection of cars? I remember there being a huge uproar about some modders ripping forza models and selling them as assetto corsa/project cars beta(?) mods off their site. Thanks!

so far enjoying the game!
wish I could afford a good wheel, but the DS4 will have to do for now.
any groups forming on PC, i'd be in, steam account anton_668
or just add me for ghosts and such - warning, am not the greatest! lol
was also worried how my machine would handle it, but so far so good!
I7 3770
8 GB ram
AMD 7950 (should be even better once the new drivers arrive)

Just had the most hilarious moment online.
Me and a lot of people (mostly German) trying to navigate Caldwell Park in a mixture of Formula A's and other extremely powerful cars. No one seemingly knew the track very well resulting in everyone just slamming into a wall and a lot of swearing in a foreign language.
Really really liking this game.
SMS have a real franchise here.

You are all absolutely killing me. I don't have a PC remotely close to being able to play this, so will resort to my PS4. However, the fact that I reside in NA means I have to wait until at least Tuesday to play, meaning I'll be spending the next 3 days pining over how badly I want to get out onto the tracks. At least I have an F1 race this weekend to keep me moderately distracted.
Awesome stories / feedback so far, keep 'em coming.

If anyone is playing this at 21:9/ultrawidescreen, what FoV settings are you at?
Default is 80---I bumped it up to 100 across the board except for Cockpit view which I set at 110, and Helmet cam, which maxes out @ 101. No idea if these are right for the aspect ratio but it felt pretty good in-game at least. If anybody has more accurate settings, I'd appreciate it.

^ Weird, my helmet cam maxes out at something much lower like 85 :S Maybe the different aspect ratio allows for higher settings.
I dunno man, I thought you did pretty well for the speedy come back and that dodge afterwards when we both went off after the straight, that was pretty slick. Definitely earned the achievement. Unlike me haha came rolling on down.

+1 was talking to a friend that has PCars and he rattled off a shitload of controller bindings and my wireless keyboard instantly cane to mind.

Right now we simply don't know, i can barely run the game with an R9 280x. There are issues right now that are likely driver related and it is being looked into, the issues cause severe under performance for AMD cards (some benchmarks show 660Ti's beating R9 290's) - hopefully soon we will get new drivers to fix it and we will know how it is actually meant to perform on AMD cards.
I would say to any AMD GPU owner on the fence with regards to a purchase, hold off on buying it at the moment due to the issues with AMD cards as its just not worth the purchase until its fixed.
See my previous post, I have an i5 3.5 ghz and a GTX 970. The higher AA settings really dive FPS. So I went with low settings and mixed in a little DSR with smoothing.
If you are down sampling to 1080p, try upping the smoothing, it helps (I have mine at 50)
Res 2351 x 1323 (down to 1080p)
AA= MSAA
FXAA = Low
SMAA = Off
This just happened.

I've tried quiting out the game and turning off the console but it still happens every time. I've tried jumping straight to qualifying but it still persists.

I am having so much damn fun driving Formula A that I have barely touched any other cars since I got this.
Congrats to SMS, even mainstream media loves the game:

I'm not actually German haha, I think I was the only person who wasn't!
I'd add you but I'm only on Ps4 for this I'm afraid!
Just had another amazing online moment. Formula Gulf round Brands Hatch, setting fastest laps all through the race and catching up from the back of the field. About to take 6th place on the penultimate lap and somehow interlock with another car and get completely flipped.
This was a great review. Too often sim racing games get knocked for just being part of their own damn genre.

It's not the build quality it's the brake pedal. In fact the t3pa is basicly the same pedals with the additional clutch pedal. The brake mod makes all the difference because it offers rock solid resistance. There is almost no resistance on the pedal so over braking is a common occurrence. If you play with abs off it will ruin you.
You can also throw some real pedals on there for fun

so FFB is only mediocre?
how hardcore are the physics?
really tempted to pick this up, but I'm worried its going to be more arcade, less sim.

No separate one, but just take the 1M out with default settings is enough. There's a learning curve for drifting just like in real life, but it's certainly doable and locking the diff will help even more if you want to just drift around. The Lykan Hypersport is a nice car for sliding around too.

Forza and GT fanboys who were rooting for this game to fail can eat shit.
The game is fantastic. I'm having a blast so far.
I'm all for positive opinions, but they completely glossed over all the technical issues with the game.
Thank you.
Where is FFB strength? I cant find it in the settings.

Well so have most other reviews. The core game is just that good that in most instances it doesn't really matter, especially considering they mostly only pop up in extreme conditions (full grid, wet weather, night) that aren't common throughout the career mode.
Plus if you are serious about racing games you owe it to yourself to build a capable PC and get it on there.

"A few glitches."
Opinions on this game seem to be extremely mixed, but it's reviewing well. Interesting to say the least.
that's unfortunate.
Missed opportunity, good to know about physics.
I should be able to adapt easily then (if it is like real life)

It is just called Force Feedback, is in the configuration settings.

They wanted to make this when they were developing the shift games.
Then EA got involved, made them gut it, dumb it down and add bullshit in. Then we ended up with Shift... EA didn't think there was any appetite in the market for a game like this and felt it wouldn't have a wide enough appeal to sell well.
Hence they broke away and decided to make the game they wanted using crowdfunding.
Yeah, I think it's just something that doesn't fit the core vision and as a lot of people (outside and inside the dev forums) have felt that drifting events aren't "real racing motorsport" and it's not something that's really a part of most drivers' racing career, but it has always remained a possiblity for DLC and/or sequels. I do like drifting and I think the game is pretty good for it, but there's not competition aspect to it.
