Need to get back into playing this and doing missions/progress.
I got distracted with GOW4 and benchmarking my new GPU in various titles.
It really seems that pushing your GPU to its max performance/stability isnt really worth the bother.
Some questions for you guys overclocking and resolution or graphical settings...
Overclocking GPU
From my experience in various titles it varies from typically 2-8 frames per second and that with having a GTX 1070 holding 2088 Mhz with Ram 4353 and under 60 degrees.
Really seems I may as well alter resolution or lower some settings that increase the framerate to ensure I get the frames I want.
QHD+ Vs 4K?
For those of you playing 4K on such displays can you do me a favour and keep your max visual settings but set a custom resolution of 3200x1800 (16:9). I am curious how this visually compares and while it will certainly boost the framerate just how much worse it appears on a 4K display to 4K Native.
Adaptive Alternative?
Of course the game offers its own scaling feature as does GOW4 and this seems similar to Nvidias multi shading process (Shadow Warrior 2) or to how even consoles are scaling parts of the screen but maintaing resolution in others. While this does not seem a pure process I am keen to discuss with some of you your thoughts on it? Basically if having framerate/performance issues with say 4K resolution what is the best approach to do this, to use a custome resolution like above or to just drop some graphical settings.
My thoughts are some may want to avoid any weird effects adaptive resolutions options may bring, yet reducing some graphical features often visually is not that aparent but still something we dont like doing. Just something about knowing you are getting the game visually at its best unless some feature is a resource hog but shows little benefits. I do wonder as not owning 4K screen yet. What do you guys that do think, can you help in this little test? I really am curious to hear if you see much visual difference in the above resolution comparison or your thoughts on getting the optimal framerate/resolution/game detail?
16:9 (4K & QHD+ & 1080p)
3840x2160 = 8,294,000
3200x1800 = 5,760,000
1920x1080 = 2,073,600
21:9 (Ultrawide Options 1600p 1440p 1080p)
3840x1600 = 6,144,000 (enjoy the resolution of LGs latest 21:9 screen now on your 4K TV)
3440x1440 = 4,953,600
2560x1080 = 2,764,800
Triple Screen (16:9 Vs 21:9 1080p Comparisons)
5760x1080 = 6,220,800
7680x1080 = 8,294,400
The GTX 1070 (1080 also) in some titles just cant handle the almost 8.3 million plus pixels of 4K with max details. Yet the 5.7 (16:9) of 3200x1800 helps or 6.1 (21:9) 3440x1440 to keep framerates closer to the 60Hz in some titles. I have been benchmarking Assetto Corsa for comparisons but obviously number of pixels being pushed around is a factor as are graphic options.

Hi guys , since I bought this game I never had access to the Auction House, designs, rivals or clubs... all are grayed out.
I did change my privacy settings for sharing content and all but still nothing.
What else can I do to unlock these features in game ?
please help..!!!!

You unlock that as you progress through the game.
- Your second Festival expansion unlocks Online Adventure, Online Free Roam, and Co-Op Campaign
- Your fifth festival expansion unlocks Car Clubs

Just upgraded my GTX970 to a 1070 SC and I keep crashing. Mainly into the scenery because I keep staring at the rock solid 30 fps counter expecting it to change. The game itself runs okay now though. I can even race against other cars in Surfers Paradise and the rainforest in the rain at 4k ultra settings without the game slowing to a crawl.
The card was well worth the S$570 I paid some dodgy bloke in a Singapore mall while on holiday earlier this week. Saved me over a hundred quid.

Yeah, FH3 runs consistent capped at 30FPS. 30FPS hurts my eyes, I'd rather put up with 60FPS "most of the time".
I'm also running a 1070 SC @ 3440x1440

30FPS suck on a 144hz monitor. lol

Finally got to play the game again (I should probably just rent a car and take my PC, amongst other things with me) and I really like how the game is performing. Still not quite what I expected, but the performance has much improved and the upgrading menus are barely lagging. My only concern is the increased number of crashes to desktop ...

What would you guys say is the best way to get the highest quality screenshots out of Forza? Shadowplay? or is just the in game screenshot system. Sorry if slightly off topic.

Took 3 attempts to start the game with 1.20.2 ... had to kill off everything else using any kinda memory
Got a couple of new graphics glitches (alloys disappearing when smoking the tyres)
General framerate is about as good as before... still some stutters
Overall i rate this update a Meh minus

The Alloy Gitch has been there since v0.0.0.0.

For the ones asking, there are no improvements. Game is still a hit or miss. At least I'm glad the Save Loop is gone for good, as I feel it was the major game breaker. Stuttering still happens after a while playing (specially after a Goliath race). For some reason, playing in cockpit makes the game run a lot smoother. Online runs a lot better than offline too.
And yes, the annoying wheel glitch is still there since day one. Not sure what activates it, but I think it is random. It happens as soon as you hit 12mph.

Looks like the demo is finally here
