fps drops we I race against opponents

[Van Cauter]

CPU i5 4570
mem 8GB
gpu GTX1060 6G
In hotlapping I have frame rates of more then 100
When i do race frame rates drops to around 40

What is the cause?

 

[manu68]

two much AI probably.
(How much do you have?)

 

[Jempy]

VR, not VR ? Triple or single monitor ? Apps used ? ... more infos might be interesting as my config is nearly the same as yours.

I5 4670k not OC - 8GB Ram - GTX1060 OC V1 6GB ..... and no problem with 1 monitor 2560*1080 21/9

NB: using 2K skins. 4K ones of course might be one of the reasons for your problem if driving with many AI

 

[Van Cauter]

23 AI or 23 real competitors on simracingserver.
Single monitor 3840x1080
The skins are limited on SRS so guess they are not 4K.
Apps i use are car radar, pro-tyres, ovinfo.

My cpu is at 80% usage

OVinfo is already a heavy eater ... it's been a very long time since I don't use it for this reason.
SideKick is a very light one with many available infos

Your resolution seems rather high for your PC config

But now I see you're speaking of a racing online .... should it be also possible that you have some connection slowness ? ... as competitors online use much less than AI.
What's your ping on those servers ?

 

[Van Cauter]

sorry monitor resolution is also 2560x1080
same problem occurs with sidekick
ping is 45

 

[Jempy]

We might maybe compare your graphic settings with mine in this case. ( my ping is always round the 20-25 .... I'm from Belgium and nearly always driving in french servers ... )....

Not so long ago we did a race with more than 30 cars online .... 45fps at the start only ... but my regular fps afterwards ( +- 83 the limit I fixed in order to have a stable fps amount rather than more with some fluctuations ) 2560*1080 also

With many drivers on track it's sometimes needed to lower some graphic settings.

NB: nothing else working in background in your PC ? ...

EDIT: Which replay quality did you choose. I'm on low all the time ... enough for controls of track incidents .... as mostly I rarely look at replays for other reasons.

 

[Van Cauter]

hey Jempy
im also from Belgium
i did some test with msi afterburner and sees that there is a gpu voltage limit that occurs.
I also get around 40-45 fps, but i m surprised that it lowers so much without the other cars
after a couple of laps i raises also to 60fps
replay is also at low

 

[Jempy]

And that concerns all tracks and cars ( original + addon ) ?
As for your gpu voltage limit, I don't know that much ... maybe another reason is related to your graphic settings

Do you have the same problem of dropping framerates with the same cars on the same track with +- 15 cars in a private race for example ?
Normally ... yes ... if not and it just happens online ... rather strange except a problem server side !
Never drove at SRS ( only leagues or .... RD seldom now on my side ) so I don't know !

EDIT: you already told it was the same in private ... I just reread the 1st post. ... forget the second part of my message
