I'm playing the game for a week and I spent a fair amount of time trying to get a descent framerate on my rig (Ryzen 2600 + RTX 4070 + 32 GB), but apparently my CPU can't get the game at stable 60 fps (contrary to what the in-game benchmark report tells me), even by reducing resolution or every other option. In race, my experience is awful. Since I'm targeting 60 fps @ 4K in every game, I'm always fine with my CPU until Starfield and FM2023. The problem is that I don't see on my screen a rise in quality that would justify this. I could replace my R2600 for a R5600 but I'm not sure it would solve the problem given other players shared experiences. I'm looking forward for a CPU round-up on this game, and/or a patch. My Forza Horzon 5 is 60 fps stable at Extreme settings and native 4K (without any downscale nor DLSS)
Regarding game design, I'm embracing the paradigm of cars that you're encouraged to bound with and how the cars are not devaluated by constant and overwhelming gifts. It's a bit old school, but i like it. And buying a car without the risk to get it during the next wheelspin brings a welcomed peace of mind.
Below a Multiplayer race showing my FPS and 2 penalties (at the start and last lap corkscrew @7:45) that i think are harsh and cost me a place after the race. Am I right to think that?
