PC2 GTX 960 4gb anyone

phang76 · Sep 25, 2017

Hi
Is anyone else running PCars 2 with this card?, Im having bad stutters when running it fullscreen but runs solidly at 60fps when running in windowed mode (both on Low graphics settings). I have a feeling Ive missed some config I should set in Nvidia control panel, Im using Vsync in-game and pre-rendered frames =1 in Nividia control panel.

Cheers

Try disabling vsync, it might be causing the fps dips.

Pre-rendered frames to 4 everytime.

Afaik the ingame options provide the prerendered frames too so set them in the control panel to application setting.

1 is always the best regarding input lag. Try to set it to 2.
It's bearable and reduces the stutters many times!

Also a maybe important fact: if you run something in Window mode sometimes the aero-vsync kicks in so you get the windows, driver side vsync forced to the game.
Sometimes if you have ingame vsync enabled and run the program in windowed mode, the vsync gets disabled.

To know for sure please activate some kind of fps counter. Fraps, Geforce experience, riva tuner (with msi afterburner) etc etc.

It will show you clearly if vsync is actually on or not working

Thanks for the tips guys, I tested running it fullscreen with Vsync on in Nvidia control panel and vsync off in game, (pre-rendered frames usually set to 1,2 or 4 in-game), while its smooth for the most part, I still get some stutters on a few tight corners and few random places. Still the only way to get un-interrupted solid 60 frames with no stutters at all is to run in windowed mode. Would be interested to hear if anyone else with a GTX 960 4gb has managed to get the game to perform stutter free in fullscreen?.
