GTR 2 Graphics Settings Guide

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Depends on the panel. My home cinema projector (also used for gaming) recommends 60Hz. My workstation's panel 75Hz.

Just got GTR2 running but I'm lethal until some kind soul tells me what to do to get something sensible in the way of mirrors.

I have had it set at "real", which is fine so long as the opposition always pass on the left.  Looking right to see the other mirror is a mandatory prang because my arms will not stay still.

I must say that I thought it all very strange until I found the thingy that reverses the force feedback.  Felt like I was falling off a bike.

Brakes are a bit violent!

Select 'virtual mirrors' till you get the hang of it.

[Clive Loynes]

When I select virtual mirrors I don't get any mirrors at all.

Press '1' on the keyboard whilst you're racing.

Thanks Simon.

I want to edit this in the .PLR file:

Extra Stats="0" // Saves separate verbose stats for any session (instead of simple stats for most recent race only)

to

Extra Stats="1" // Saves separate verbose stats for any session (instead of simple stats for most recent race only)

So that I can use Auto Analyser. Will this effect my fps at all?

Auto analyser wanted to change my GTR2 settings by itself but I dont trust it to do a good job

can anyone tell me, should i re-install directx since the Xp Sp3 update?
I've already reinstalled my gfx drivers and that helped initially but now (as ive mentioned in the race threads) i am re-suffering severely low fps in GTR2 only.
Also, do you guys leave Directx on 'auto' in the gtr2 configuration menu? or do you force it to use Directx9 ?

Also, do you guys let Nvidia control panel 'let application control' for the AA & AF settings or do you over-ride it using the panel ?

I cant work it out as when i first installed my new gfx card a month or so ago, my fps were so high in GTR2 that my senses were struggling to keep up with the new speeds ! and visually it looked stunning yet now ive gone back to lower fps and eye-candy settings than i had with my old gfx card.

[Simon Gymer]

I set DirectX 9 specifically rather than Auto.

I override AF to 16x.
I let game decide on AA, but have it on 4x (level 2).

I have Nvidia set to Quality (not High Quality).

Have you got VSync off in Nvidia and game?

Try reinstalling DirectX, it can't hurt anything.

Do you have PD monitor or TeamSpeak running at the same time?

What graphics card is it (mine is a GTX 8800 768Mb)?

Check the settings in the config.ini file if it's quite a modern card and check the Video RAM etc that it has listed or even the CPU rating.

[Mark J]

i have v-sync set to on in game config. I tried with it off but made no difference to my fps slow down.

I do have pd monitor on my second screen running, but always have so ?

card is a 9800gtx

i downgraded nvidia 'quality' to 'performance' last night just to achieve a race-able fps.

grrr, thats the last frigging time i let micro-shite update my pc. Ive gone from the best visuals and smoothest frames ive ever had in GTR2 down to almost blinking spectrum levels within the space of a week since the sp3 update and wasted an entire evening and daytime trying to re-sort it, when i could have been praccying or racing. 

[Simon Gymer]

May as well try it without PD monitor anyway.
