Hi all,
tl;dr
if you arent really passionate about game, don
t waste your time and don`t read this wall of text
First of all this is my first post, so hi again, among all forza forums/subforums but i am a member since Forza2 on xbox360 (when my XBL gold expired and i sold my console i came back with a new account specificcaly for windows 10)
English isn`t my native language but im trying to do my best
LETS KEEP THIS FORUM AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE AND DON
T MAKE NEW TOPICS ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ISSUE, WE WILL HELP MODERATORS AND DEVS THAT WAY, IT WILL BE EASIER FOR EVERYONE, TRUST ME ON THIS ONE
I would like to share my opinion on this game, not about gameplay, graphics and other things that everyone who is playing/played this game knows about but about few other different things.
I haven`t seen any game using THAT MUCH resources of my PC in a long time (maybe except last years AAA shooter that just keeps eating more and more ram) SO WELL!
PC SPECS:
GA-970A-DS3 (cheap, reliable mobo with almost no overclocking potential due to no radiators on voltage section)
FX-6300 @ stock speeds just for system stability while testing
R9 390x by MSi @ stock clocks
4x 2gb ram by kingston hyperx genesis @ 1600mhz(i believe)
Now we can go further, as you can see on many benchmarks, the tendency is to make single core as fast as possible due to very little things using more than 4 threads, this game uses my whole CPU whenever it can (as seen in win10 task manager) as im speaking and have it running in the background, at the race start) window is out of focus ive got few YT music windows running in the background and its still @ 60fps 1080p ULTRA(60% cpu usage @ 3,7ghz because turbo mode is on), i cannot believe this either
didn`t really check GPU usage but nothing is really botllenecking it nowadays except poorly optimized games or something in 4K
THE ISSUES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
CPU-related one
most of cpus have powersaving,turbo mode options i recommend you to turn them off in BIOS your electricity bill won`t suffer that much, why should do this? heres the problemā¦
when doing something CPU intensive while playing like suddenly going offroad when grass and lots of particles are coming out of your wheels(this happens from time to time) OR
crashing into someone (body of car changes, sparkles etc. this is more heavy issue) your CPU suddenly needs more power because at current turboclock/powersaving it reaches ācapacityā 100%
before it can achieve higher designated clock (like from my now 3.7ghz to 4.1ghz) you have already crashed and are driving normally back on track probably
this causes: FPS drops when going offroad/crashing into someone
HDD-related one (???)
i didn`t have space on my ssd so installed game on hdd, a bit old one but still sata3 and everything(gonna test ssd tommorow)
you expect microstuttering every now and then, like hiccups, nothing gamebreaking
THE NOT-SO-IMPORTANT PART ID LIKE TO SHARE
i cannot wait for wheel support, how am i supposed to play this game with keyboard, i wont buy xbone controller just for this one⦠yes, seriously, i had to
console port = console standards, dont get me wrong im not one of the āmasterraceā members, im a gamer, what i mean is⦠4k support? great, you must have put a lot of work into it, maybe not why there isnt⦠but will there be custom camera? FOV changer? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! custom resolution, because you know, you didnt put in 21:9 aspect ratio, ultrawide, probably because of not having enough time to scale hud properly etc etc or this is too low market i dont know. game will be probably locked out of any mods, so im curious about this one
