GTR just got it

I got my copy of GTR in the mail last nite,perfect timing as the whip and kids are off to grandmas house. I set my graphics options to full ,res 1600x1200 no aa. My setup is AMD 64 3400 gig of ram 6800 gt. My framerates while hotlapping ranged from the low 60s to over a 100, looking good so far. Next I tried a single race at Monza with 39 cars, starting at the back of the pack with 20 cars visible Chuga chuga, starting frame rates were 15 jumping to the low 20s as the field thinned out. Time for some tweaking, The best playable res was 1024x768 with all the graphics option set med to low,this got me 40 fps at start up to the 60s as the field thinned. What's the point of my rant? Nothing really,I just enjoy complain, although I am curious if others are experiencing the same poor performance.I saw a couple of guy bragging on the GTR forums of much better performance with similar hardware, typically you can take that with a grain of salt,these are the kind of guys that use there system specs as there sig! I will be mostly be racing on a closed LAN with 4 to 5 guys so I was wondering if any one has any comments on performance in that situation? Tim Y

Turning off high resolution car livery made a big difference to me. It is greyed out but ticked in the demo. Unchecking the box I have noticed the fps back to the demo levels and no noticeable difference in car quality. Before that I was frustrated not to get anywhere near the demo performance, now it runs fine. Cheers Tony

Turning off MoTec results in a significant jump in framerate. If you run a good lap, you can always save it and have MoTec do its analysis on the replay. So, it's not necessary to have it on all the time.

I run GTR on an athlon64 3400, and switching off motec results in an fps increase of 2-3 fps. Not really worth it; I saw a much bigger increase (6-10 fps) on my previous AthlonXP 2400+. I see the biggest fps hit with many cars ONLINE, offlince races with 20 cars are ok (never less than 40 fps on an ati radeon 9800 pro). cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Sorry if I'm being thick, but where is the motec analyser? I've treid the interpreter, but it wont open replays. thx Paul "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:424c0198$0$94534$[email hidden]...

OK, so yes you can't, I must admit I thought you couls analyse tehreplay file, I suspect what you have to do is run the replay with the log analyser turned on. -- Andi.

OK - how do I turn on the log analyser? I did a search on the simbin forum and found no reference to it. thx Paul "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:424c1419$0$94508$[email hidden]... > OK, so yes you can't, I must admit I thought you couls analyse tehreplay > file, I suspect what you have to do is run the replay with the loganalyser

I've tried the manual - the english one is very short and page 4 is just about modes (arcade, etc) and the German one is a) in German and b) just a list of key mappings. Even the GTR engineers manual has nothing about it on page 4. Maybe you have a manual I don't? Paul "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:424c7053$0$27863$[email hidden]...

You need to download a program called "MoTeC Beginner's Guide" which contains a file called MoTeC Organizer (Version 1.3). Unfortunately, I don't recall where I got it from. (Can anyone help out here? Or try a Google Search?). You'll need to follow instructions in the Beginner's Guide carefully to set things up correctly. (It's a bit involved). But when MoTeC Organizer is set-up properly, you can list your replay laps (even ones where MoTeC was not active) then choose one to load. It then automatically starts up MoTeC, and it analyzes your replay.
