Ok. I (obviously) just got this game from Steam. Wanted to do a quick video to show how the game runs/looks on PC. Here's my video recorded with fraps. Warning. Bad driving scenes content : p

Ah dude. Go for it! I just did right below your comment : )

My driving is horrible but damn I (it) look good doing it!

DO NOT buy this game for the pc unless you have a supercomputer. I have a very good system, and I average 27fps, which is unacceptable to me. Thanks Codemasters, for optimizing this game so well.

Come on do it man. It's all good. That way at least the rest of us scrubs get to see what we can look forward to.

I don't have a super computer and it's running smooth.

Quick impressions:

Overall the gameplay seems pretty solid, while it's not a sim it definitely has a lot of realistic elements built into it. Running a good racing line and nailing your apexes are absolutely crucial to laying down some good lap times. Managing engine and tire wear adds a good bit of immersion & realistic strategy to the racing experience.

The one gripe I have with this game is with the FFB. It's not accurate, nor realistic, and doesn't help you get a sense of what the car is doing, so essentially you don't feel as connected to the car and track as you should. If they can improve that aspect this game is easily a 10/10.

Try going into your audio settings and changing it from "rapture" to "software". I read elsewhere that helped people on PC.



I tried it at a friends house on PS3 with my DFGT and enjoyed it. Pretty sure I'll end up picking it up for PC so I can get my F1 fix.

Running perfectly fine on mine....Don't know why your having an issue...need to upgrade your Graphics card and max out the ram.
