cockpit view very pasty & frame rate drop

[Zevious Z]

It's absolutely track dependent. Some tracks are worse than others...

 

[umafeckit]

Ah, if it's track dependent then that might indeed explain the discrepancy. It also means we may be more likely to see a fix.

I get "noticable" framerate drops mainly in replays, but i don't think i've seen it anywhere else.

I actually got a new prescription for my glasses on Thursday - this is the best my eyesight has been in quite some time. I did notice it a bit during the GT Academy, but not with GT6.

Glasses probably wouldn't have much, if anything to do with it. It has more to do with your brain noticing it more than anything else.

Except in this case, or rather with the absence of relying on other senses, the eyes are where the brain is getting the info from...how else would it notice the frame-rate drop?

Right, but some peoples brains will just notice a difference more than others. For instance my eyes get drawn to every bit of screen tearing, while other people it just doesn't bother them and thus they don't notice it as much. Same with framerate. Some people's brains will just ignore it.

Ah, I see what you mean now - possibly so then. I still maintain that it is an improvement on the GT Academy version.

 

[Tornado]

I haven't seen any screen tear, at least. And it's definitely better than GT Academy.

Definitely sounds like an improvement. I haven't heard many complaints about Tearing and Flickering, which is excellent. Hopefully some of the Framerate issues can be addressed through a patch considering it seems to be more along a track to track basis.

 

[Niyologist]

Maybe GT7 will be better ... I wouldn't count on it.

I would count on it. PD knows how to utilize the power of every console properly, so they'll use the PS4's powerhouse hardware towards their advantage. Remember, PS4 games are mostly going to be native 1080 @60fps.

 

[Zevious Z]

yeah, but you layer on a few extra levels of lighting, Kaz's new Galactic Cluster simulation, add 200,000 more poly's to every (premium) car model, simulate the wind's effect on the hankie's in the chest pockets of half the people in the grandstands and all of a sudden you're looking at 38fps on the awesome new PS4.

Ok ive been racing in bumper cam view but when I switched to cockpit view the screen got noticeably darker and some what pasty I also noticed quite a bad frame rate drop it made racing in this mode really un enjoyable which is a real shame, has anyone else noticed this ? Its only in cockpit mode all other views are crisp and clear.

The framerate issue is new to GT6, but the pastiness is like GT5, switching to 720P removes the lag and reduces the blurryness.

Er... I'm kind of confused how that argument works.

 

[Niyologist]

Er... I'm kind of confused how that argument works.

It's called utilizing/optimizing the hardware. Higher Quality without sacrificing the framerates. BTW, the PS4 has some pretty good overclocking speeds, but of course that will only work in optimal conditions.

erm, you mean like PD did ('nt do) with GT6 on the PS3?

I'm aware. But how does "PD knows how to utilize the power of every console properly" work as an argument for GT7 on PS4 when it didn't work for GT5 on PS3?

Didn't they push it to the max for GT6? I'm not talking about the earlier GT games on each consoles, just the later ones. GT7 on the PS4 will definitely be a huge step forward when it comes to the framerates in the cockpit view, as long as the game isn't insanely detailed and I mean more than Project CARS.
