Project CARS

Epic Batman instrumental music is epic.

The one thing I have noticed from watching the trailer is that the cockpits are very reminiscent of the NFS Shift series. I could see a resemblance in the way that they have modeled it but hopefully they are improvements on this (yes, I know Slightly Mad Studios made the Shift series).

Other than that, first impression is that the BMW might just be the best sounding car on the planet if that is actually how it's going to sound in-game, and the wide diversity of production and race cars is surely a breath of fresh air. Looks like they've really lifted the bar with this one, let's hope T10 reacts to this.

WOW

I'll just leave this here...

I think i may have to upgrade for this. Thank god the GTX800 series should be out round the same time as release.

So many tracks, so much weather...My vote for first OZFM event is Nurburgring at night in heavy thunderstorm. In a 1966 Brabham.

Played in it last weekend with 2 x 660Ti's, full everything 1080p and it works beautifully. It's taken some big leaps recently, very good looking game might try the Career they have gotten working now this weekend.

I've only got a single GTX670. Besides the GTX8** series is going to be based on Maxwell, which if the recently released laptop GPU's stats are to be believed is going to be immensely powerful for a massive power consumption drop.

They just announced licenses with Audi and Bentley, being the speed 8 and Continental GT3; and a plethora of R8's, R18's and the 198(?)1 GTO.

I'm not sure if pCars supports SLI yet or not , their FAQ seems out of date, but with a clear day at 1080p, all settings full AF 16x and AA MSAA it was 58 pretty steady. Add a storm and that dropped to 32 steady. That was a quick check but expect a 50% performance hit on rainy days =)

iRacing was a steady locked 70fps with one card, didn't see any improvement with a second, I don't think it even uses the other card =)

Thxs mate,

I'm trying to assess the iMac ive booted in win8 will cope, early days yet.
I'm getting about 90-95 FPS with iracing, plenty for that, but iracings environment is basic, not complaining as for me track/sim is more important. Still get a giggle every now and then when I spin out and hit a square brick tyre wall, lol

As u say I would expect a huge drain in rain and extreme weather conditions.

If you want RU you can run these two little programs here, they basically tell you everything you need to know about what parts are in your computer. You can then go and compare your gear to benchmarks.

If not they can always be modded in.

Time to mark November on the calender for whatever it is they have planned.

Main thing I picked up from this video is that you have adjustable time settings.

That is definitely Circuit Zolder

Love Zolder. Brilliant little track  

Same. It was one of my favorites on V8s Race Driver 1.

Interesting poll to see which platforms may be popular.
