I just would like to report that I've completed a 3 lap race with my Ryzen 7 5800X3D in VR using an Oculus Rift CV1 on Spa with 52 visible cars on track, and the framerate never dip below the default ASW threshold. Completely smooth performance. I did this race because I've read on race department about someone saying that this race was like a CPU benchmark for Raceroom. Is there anything that hits harder than that on the CPU, so I could test it? On the options menu, 52 visible cars is the maximum allowed. The only track I can think of that would be another candidate for a CPU stress test would be "the green hell" Nordschleife. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yeah, try Nords 24h layout specifically, it seems to be a resource hog. But congrats, not having framedrops with such an amount of AI cars on Spa is impressive.
It was a complete mayhem lol. I was not sure that this would be possible to be honest. 24H layout of Nords, 99 cars with 52 visible, in VR! And it never droped below the ASW threshold. No stutter, no freezing or crashing. It was effing amazing! And the best part: it didn't cost me a kidney to make the upgrade to the 5800X3D, unlike it would be if I were building let's say an Intel Alder Lake build from scratch. I sold my 5800X and I have zero regrets. This 5800X3D is out of this world.
What GPU did you do this with? What was the ASW threshold? Did you have fpsvr or something to see utilization? I'm wondering if upgrading would help me a lot. I have a 5800x/5700xt and I can run the G2 at 60fps mostly but not 90 and a good field of cars makes it dip lower than 60.
100 car races its crap the bed and take ages to load. but also zhuhai with time acceleration is also a massive hog youll lose alot of fps there
