I will more than likely take a look at it on my Ryzen 5900X and RX 6800XT tomorrow and make a video. My biggest concern from performance perspective would be CPU utilization but I guess we'll see.
at 4k,maxed out ,FSR Quality ,I barely manage to hit 60fps. But thanks to LSFG I am now running 50x3 so 150fps , its playable but definately doesn't make sense considering the game doesnt even look that good. 7900XTX btw
as somebody who actually has some experience making games, generally optimization is the last thing to get put onto a game. While some optimization happens while major development is occurring, most of the heavy hitting cleanup and fixes occur at the end of development which is more than likely why you're getting bottle-necked on the CPU.
Right, I thought some optimizations have to be coming. I wish they'd called this a beta test because that's what it feels like to me. The servers too are terrible, it takes multiple tries to enter a race and when you do, it disconnects shortly after ending the race. Demo's often tend to be more representative of the final product. So yeah. I've been playing around with some other hardware like a Ryzen 5900X and RX 6800XT there are areas where it'll drop to 48 fps cpu bound.
I pretty much hit a CPU bottleneck which you can see at 7:35 native is almost identical FPS as having DLSS quality but this is also not 4K. Depending how this video does maybe I'll make a 4090 and 7900XTX comparison. Earlier I could get into the game, the server was down.
I hear you its an arcadey type of a racer. Been playing it more and the penalty is to essentially slow you down giving your opponents an opportunity to catch up if they dont hit trees and poles lol.
This game is terrible , I put up a video with my 3080 and 7800x3d and it's just trash. 1440p Max settings will dlss on balanced can't even pull a solid 60fps. And it looks dreadful lol. Even if it was managing a 60fps the frame pacing was shockingly bad and it felt worse than 30fps lol. The game without dlss, just native looks atrocious at 1440p, I've never seen anything like it lol. Check out my video if anyone can be bothered. I went through a few settings before I gave up. Turning down global illumination gives a decent frame rate boost but who cares of the game feels so choppy because of the frame rate lol. Not only that, but the actual game is so bland and boring. A complete disaster lol
I'm going to do a follow up with the 7900XTX but I found view distance to be a huge performance hog and was hurting the frame pacing. Its kind of a disaster.
@@TerraWare i didn't bother with further testing, deleted it since it was in such a poor state and wasn't actually very fun to play either lol. i was really looking forward to this too, i had my doubts because of the delays etc. looks like they've run out of budget and are being forced into releasing it. this game is going to flop so bad, uggh so disappointing. I wonder how it will run on the XTX, cant imagine it will be any better lol. The frame pacing is the worst part, why would they release a demo like this :/ lol
@@PCgamingbenchmarktime Yeah its a shame, I played the older game although never got into it that much, clearly this one looks like development was struggling. I'm just rendering the XTX vid and uploading it should be up in a bit. It was a chore trying to capture footage because I kept getting server errors trying to start races and when I got to race it would time out in the middle of a race lol. I hope at the very least they can fix these server issues because that will be a guarantee faceplant.
@TerraWare I'll check it out when I get home. Should be interesting haha. Sucks about the server errors, im sure that's the one area they might be able to fix before the games release....everything else though, not very likely lol I only did one race before I deleted it and it was very bland and unexciting. Putting this up next to forza horizon 5, which looks and plays muchhhh better. Even the latest crew game looks and plays way better than this game. It has no chance and I feel bad for the devs honestly, its obvious they had budget issues and see being forced to put it out. Looks like it needed a lot more work and money. Just look at the character models lol extremely dated. Looks like the sims 🤣 at least the demo is good for a laugh, that's the one redeeming quality 🤭
Once again, waiting years for a game release with infinite hype only to end up being a massive flop. The video-game industry standards needs to change, more importantly it's the people's fault for allowing this, for still purchasing the game knowing it's going to be garbage. The first TDU is almost 20 years old and it's better than this.
I loved old Test drives but this one i dont think so.. Maybe final game will be better.. I cant get 60fps with 7800xt/5800x3d at 1440p ultra or even high.. It looks like GPU is maxed out or close but i see that power usage is very low..
It has FXAA that's it. No TAA. The only way to clean it up is DLSS or FSR and even those two aren't very well implemented. I noticed unusual levels of ghosting.
Yeah I agree although I feel that's the least of some serious issues. My biggest concern is how CPU heavy this game is. Just wrapped up capturing some Ryzen 5900X/RX6800XT footage and there are areas the game drops to the high 40's CPU bound. This has got to be a 30 fps game on console.
@@TerraWare I still don't get how we can get games like crysis, dues ex (the latest one) and iRacing/AC so many years ago and produce absolute garbage since.🤔🤣
Tried this on the 7900 XTX and it runs really poorly there too. At 4k I can't even get over 60fps really at ultra settings even with FSR ultra performance and the metrics say it's still GPU limited, but native is around 50fps. I think FSR just doesn't work properly yet. At first I actually didn't even notice the frame pacing issues since the game was running at such a low fps, but after doing a few races it was pretty bad. The game world is also so incredibly empty, this is supposed to be Hong Kong... Even Sleeping dogs on the PS360 had a more lively world than this.
Interesting. I was messing around with some settings last night. View Distance was a big performance hog along with some other settings. Which CPU are you running? I'm not sure if I asked you before? I was thinking of checking out the XTX next myself.
@@TerraWare I have the i5 13600kf. Dropping down to the high preset did improve performance by about 15% or so I think which is decent. They do have time to optimize the game before it comes out so hopefully they can do it.
24mins ...driving and refunded it .....Graphics is horrible .....Even on ultra the distance is so blurry .....and in dashboard they blur outside view distance even more ...makes impossible ugly to drive in car ......The blur effect on speed is horrible too and so id overuse reflections on road ....only thing that your eyes focus on is the car and that it ...everything else around it is blurred
Yeah I don't blame you, this video was made with the beta or demo they released a couple of months ago but from what I have seen the game still has some very major issues, like losing connection during races when the main selling point is online play. It's also very CPU intensive. I'm skipping it.
Frame generation *fixing* frame pacing issues is a new one lol. What a shitshow. You said as much, but given the visuals it's absolutely insane that this is sub 100 fps with upscaling on a 4090/7800x3d. I'm gonna try the demo at those settings on my 4080/7700x and see if it scales like it should.
Man, this game was looking kinda mid even from its gameplay trailers back when they released them. The demo is, kinda horrible. I got a 5800X and a 6700XT and i barely get 60 fps, dropping to mid 30s when racing, running med settings with high textures on 3440x1440. Its kinda incredible how they made the game an unoptimized cpu heavy game (WITH NO REASON BTW, theres NOTHING happening in the game world, there's just some dumb AI, like 10 cars max in the screen mind you, no parked cars, no human NPCs, nothing that would tax the CPU heavily). FSR barely improves FPS btw, the AA is horrible and the car models (the GTR is the WORST BTW) are last last gen. Even NFS 2015 SLAMS this game graphically. The reflections are, kinda shit , the mirrors (at least they work) are also kinda shit. Overall, they cant fix the game graphically AND optimization with less than 3 months from release. And they already have DLC cars in the store lmao.
It has all the signs of troubled development although I don't know anything about that. It lfeels like the project started many years ago but yeah I don't get why its so CPU heavy. I drop in the mid 60's in some city center areas on a 7800X3D and it can vary, out in the highway it goes as high as 110 fps. I tested for this last night, 100% cpu bound all the time.
I can understand thar. I do get excited but try to stay way from the hype. We do get good games but also disappointments. I'll pass final judgemental when it goes love but am worried. The servers are a disaster. I wish it was more like FH5 in that regard
I've been trying to play it but its been difficult to even log into the game and sometimes you cant even start the races because the servers error out. There could be a good game as far as mechanics and progression.
I am glad they launched a demo and people are testing it out. Hopefully devs are watching these videos and improve it by the time the game officially launches
This game is complete garbage, from the fundamental concept to the artistic choice of development and finally a testament to unprecedented amateurism in the gaming industry. A complete disaster.

Noice. Am working on a 7900XTX video should be up later. Found some settings that effect the performance in some strange ways.

This game should be using FSR3. 7900xtx going to struggle if the 4090 is struggling with dlss and fg on.

Those character models look 3 generations old 😬😂...
Be interesting to see how it runs on the xtx but if its a lot better we both know whats coming 🙄😅
I'll end up checking it out but the game's unusually CPU heavy. I don't really get it lol.
Ok I think I get now what you mean if it runs better on XTX we know whats coming. LOL
These cardboard trees is hilarious for tier A game, cars aren't a tanks lol
I hear you its an arcadey type of a racer. Been playing it more and the penalty is to essentially slow you down giving your opponents an opportunity to catch up if they dont hit trees and poles lol.
I started to think they are not showing the console version yet because it is going to perform even worse than PC
You know what? I thought the exact same thing. I fired up my PlayStation 5 yesterday trying to download the demo and there wasn't one.

and the next bad looking /bad running new game.
A rather accurate summary.
I loved old Test drives but this one i dont think so.. Maybe final game will be better.. I cant get 60fps with 7800xt/5800x3d at 1440p ultra or even high.. It looks like GPU is maxed out or close but i see that power usage is very low..
I just finished editting my 7900XTX/7800X 3D video and yeah sounds about right. I was getting 70ish FPS at 1440P and a TON of server errors.
This game doesn't have a built-in anti-aliasing setting? WTF?!
It has FXAA that's it. No TAA. The only way to clean it up is DLSS or FSR and even those two aren't very well implemented. I noticed unusual levels of ghosting.
This is so sad.
the game looks terrible in my opinion. like a early 2000s game with a shader mod.
Yeah I agree although I feel that's the least of some serious issues. My biggest concern is how CPU heavy this game is. Just wrapped up capturing some Ryzen 5900X/RX6800XT footage and there are areas the game drops to the high 40's CPU bound.

From all i have heard, these FPS issues sound the same as the October 2023 playtest. 😂
what a waste. If I were the CEO of the company I would fire the entire team of developers without labor rights.

It definitely looked smoother
all that and the graphics look only slightly better than forza horizon 1
it looks aliased because you were using FXAA and not TAA... you didn't technically max out the game.
There is no TAA in the game surprisingly. FXAA is it.

those characters at the beginning look like Sims characters, i was so hyped for this game but im gonna skip it
Lol they really do.
as expected they're using KT Engine it sucks
This is the reason why I'm not excited about modern gaming anymore.
I can understand thar. I do get excited but try to stay way from the hype. We do get good games but also disappointments.
I'll pass final judgemental when it goes love but am worried. The servers are a disaster. I wish it was more like FH5 in that regard
Why does this game have graphics at the level of NFS Most Wanted 2012?
I was really hoping for a forza competitor, what a shame.
I've been trying to play it but its been difficult to even log into the game and sometimes you cant even start the races because the servers error out. There could be a good game as far as mechanics and progression.
Im downloading this at the moment to test. I have a 4090 too but running a 5800x3d so will be interesting to see how it compares
What a disaster
Could it be that the GPU driver to support this game is not out yet?
The biggest issue is CPU utilization, which results in inconsistent framerates and regularly being CPU bound if you use DLSS or FSR
The game is not optimized yet
I am glad they launched a demo and people are testing it out. Hopefully devs are watching these videos and improve it by the time the game officially launches
