  • EDIT: I changed the title to 'Performance Comparison' because many people did not like the appearance of ACC graphics here. This is not a comparison of how each sim can look on it's max settings. It is a comparison of how they all look when targeting the same frame rate.
    Quick comparison of the overall look of the 3 main sims. Porsche Cup (992) at Brands Hatch GP. Used the same time of day and weather settings for all games here to make it a fair comparison.
    The settings are literally just what I use. I prioritise having it run smoothly at highish frame rates. It is track dependant too. Most often I see rF2 locked at 164 fps while I see iRacing dipping into the 130s. So while I could tweak things to maximise performance in this example, I thought it is more fair to share them with the real world settings I actually use. To give a rough idea of how things look using the same hardware. Afterburner in the top left too so you can see fps etc.
    I recorded the onboard clips while actually driving, rather than from the replay. I wanted to show the actual performance I was seeing as I was driving. I normally run with the steering wheel hidden, but enabled it so there's some more to look at in the video. I don't normally run HUD, but I do have the radar enabled in ACC and rF2.
    My computer is a 5600 with 6700XT GPU and 16GB of RAM. Monitor is 3440x1440 165 Hz.

      Yeah shadows on low. It's not the best demonstration of how good ACC can look. It's just how my game looks on my computer when trying to run at high refresh rates. I will try to tweak my settings to have shadows on high and turn something else down instead. But this is more of a comparison of how each game looks given the same computing resources and targeting high framerates.

    • @layingblacklines
      @layingblacklines  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I just had the three sims as I run them for online racing. Even with the lower settings ACC had the lowest framerate. It's possible to make it look better than I had it, but I'd have to upgrade my computer if I wanted it to run at similar fps to rF2 and iRacing. There's been many complaints that I did that, but honestly when you are comparing the games you tend to have the same computer for each one don't you. So given X computing power, this is how they all look and run.

CPUs around 5600 pace are common. GPUs around 6700XT pace are common. Single screen 1440p is middle of the road. And many want to race at 100+ fps. So it's just a comparison of how they all look and perform on average hardware.
      I really doubt LMU will look terrible. Probably a small step up from rF2, with a small performance hit. ACC can look beautiful, but it's probably the least efficient in that you need a step up in hardware for it to even match the other two. Still plenty good to race though. I have no problems with the graphics in ACC. Just doesn't look as good as AC I don't think.

      It's also interesting in that I'm driving on similar hardware (Ryzen 5600 + RX 6600 XT) and in ACC, FPS are mostly in the 80-110 range during races. This is all with the graphics set to HIGH or EPIC, 2560x1080 resolution. And I haven't even tried FSR.. :)

      I don't know, maybe settings. As you can tell from this video, I tend to turn them down a lot for better latency. Like I think special effects on Low and post processing Medium. Those can both hit performance hard. Also reflections. Doesn't seem like you're taking too much of a hit in traffic, but I often turn down car numbers. These days I try to lock at 150 fps and don't want that to dip on the grid. So on my potato computer I have visible cars set to 12. Or 20 (8) in iRacing, which is as low as it goes. iRacing I have shadows and mirrors off too.

    I may be a little biased and weird, but frankly iRacing's graphics are the best of the three. Just feels closest to what is 'right' and relatively real and not just high-fidelity strange sterility. And in general I've owned all three for years and years but just could never get into regularly playing ACC or rF2. Just nowhere ever near as smooth a process to really start playing (maybe not so much ACC, but it took me literal years on and off to get rF2 to actually work right with a G29..) as iR. Never could relate to the high praise given to either of the games.

      @layingblacklines  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah it's pretty subjective really. Some people swear by ACC. For me it's rF2, with iRacing being second. For a sim there's something to be said for things just being stable and not smearing or ghosting in the way they do in ACC. An advantage iRacing has over rF2 is in how stable the shadows are. Though I'm not sure if my shadow flicker is from the way AMD does shadow dithering. I haven't ever had issue getting any of the games to work. But out of the three I hear more people struggle with rF2. iRacing can be finicky because there's a few ini tweaks needed that should really either be defaulted (like not taking full service on hitting pit box) or settable from the options.

      @@notatroll6809 No, I'd say the track details are all pretty comparable on the Studio 397 tracks. If you don't like Brands, the others are all similar. That said, I personally think the s397 tracks are second to none in sim racing. iRacing lags a fair way due to lack of 3D kerbs (both visually and in physics) and the fact the track is static without working lights or flags. Not even the start lights. ACC looks brilliant, but is maybe a little over the top. rF2 also has the off track areas which add to immersion for me.
      Is it the colour balance or something you don't like about rF2? Are you talking about how it looks with my settings, or how it looks for you?

    Its your settings on acc, shadows livhting snd more competely change the game. It has the most detail of any out. But i will give it to iracing snd rfacotr that the road textures really add to it. But acc cannot be beaten in the graphics department and you cant do a comparison then say somrthing doesnt look good when you sre turning things like shadows on low or off. I mean shadows lighting snd more are what create the atmosphere snd seprrstion between objects. You are ruining the game not running them. Iracing and rfacotr were designed around 1080p. They will look great there. Acc was designed for 4k but looks great in 1440p also. If you dont hsve a rig powerful enough to actually utilize the settinfs then you shouldnt be doing graphics comparisons. You are technically making a massive crutch for the most advanced sim racing game in the graphics department. Now i mesn advanced in graphics guys not the feel or physics thats just preference.
    Ive got to say stick to physic comparisons or something like thay. You cant do these its clear you have to reeuce things to much. The fact you do have to on acc so much shpuld tell you how demanding the graphics are which should also tell you how good it can look with evetyhting up. The issue with that is if you end up running at like sub 30fps it wont look good anyways lol.
    I tested acc on 60fps with 60hz then 120fps on 120hz the difference in image quality and crispness was staggering. So its clear if you do reduce settings you at least need high frames to make up for it.

    ACC graphics are overhyped even on highest settings to me it looks kinda bad, too grainy and color balance is awful + too demanding on hardware for the offering and on lower settings there are huge problems with foliage and shadows because of this crappy engine

    • @layingblacklines
      @layingblacklines  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not weird at all. I like the way iRacing looks too. The lifeless tarmac is because on a fresh track in iRacing they still scribble some tyre marks on the track to make it look used. While in rF2 it is a fresh unmarked clean track. They all have dynamic track, though on rF2 and iRacing actually follow the exact car paths rather than a prebaked development.
      For dashboards I think iRacing leads all sims. Particularly in this car, which has probably the best dash in the game. But it just looks better in iRacing than the others I think.
