TOPIC: 30-40 fps on a nVidia GTX 980 Is this a joke?

30-40 fps on a nVidia GTX 980 Is this a joke? 04 Jun 2015 04:34 #46152

I just bought the game and to my disappointment I'm able to achieve only 30-40 fps in certain areas! What is going on? The GPU usage doesn't go above 20% and the cpu (Intel i5 2500K 4.5GHZ) is not maxed (about 60% on all cores).

Here is the screenshot of the framerate 38fps and the cpu/gpu usage, which are not maxed.
This game seriously suffers from the lack of optimizations.

The screenshot was taken while driving on the new map. The old one has a bit better fps, but nothing to crazy, barely 60fps in certain areas.

Dear lord, it's even worse in the rain 25fps.
I'm begging you devs, don't make me regret that purchase.

Most people get an average of below ~20 fps, so you are lucky to get as high as 60 :)

You cannot be serious. Why this game is so badly optimized? I can get a constant 60fps with the max details in Project CARS, and the graphics are way more advanced than in CCD.

The poor performance is not due to the graphics, it's due to the engine FF used to render the game. When they initially developed the game, the budget was quite low thus they had to choose an inexpensive engine, explaining the poor optimization.

Well, I must say it is weird even if the game isn't optimized so good because I get 51 FPS (I have AMD R9 285 DUAL X OC) and you have the Nvidia GTX 980 which better than my GPU... Check if you updated to the latest drivers.
I hope you will solve your problem! :)

Haha, very funny. Look at the pictures, my gpu usage oscillates between 20-30%. Go to the new city, new district. and change the weather to evening rainy. Set all the graphics options to max, including antialiasing x8, drive to the congested area and then check your framerate. From my observation I can say this game is heavily bottlenecked by the CPU, so if you've got anything better than my overclocked i5 you may have a few more fps.

I have an old i7 2600k @4.4GHz and Nvidia GTX 670 dual SLI and it runs at 50-70 FPS at low traffic and pedestrian density and clear weather.

Are you trying to say (if my math is correct 100.000 sold copies x $25) that 2,5 mln dollars of the revenue is not enough to get someone to rewrite the renderer? Damn, developers are so expensive theese days.
