I have the fidelity at high and yeah, I know the replays uploaded there are ok. There must be some kind of problem while my game records my replay, not when it plays it. No idea what other settings can be related to this problem...

I used to have this all the time in replays. Just the other day I reduced the 'level of detail bias' in game to get extra fps. It also stops the warping in replays for me.  Hope this helps. H@L9000 |

No idea if this'll help, but I always have shadows set to low. I can't see the difference and it cures a lot of crashing probs. Maybe in a night race you'll need it on medium...but nothing higher.

has anyone dabbled with the actual card settings to get a much better look in GTR2?
I found this suggestion on another forum:-
NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL:
AF - 16x
Anisotropic Mip Filter Optimisation - On
Anisotropic Sample Optimisation - On
AA - Aplication-controlled (4x in game)
Conformant Texture Clamp - Off
Extension Limit - Off
Force Mipmaps - Trilinear
Gamma Correct AA - Off
Hardware Acceleration - Single Display
Negative LOD bias - Allow
Texture Filtering - High Quality
Transparency AA - Multisampling
Trilinear Optimization - On
Triple Buffering - On
Vertical Sync - Force off
Can anyone explain what these settings do and hw they affect performance. Thank you. |

Negative LOD bias - I use Clamp not Allow, because on Nvidia and GTR2/GTL/rFactor if you set Allow the white lines at the edge of the track go blurry.
AA - I use 2x to gain a bit of extra speed but still have AA on and I can't notice the difference between it at 4x when actually racing. I don't like turning AA off though as you suddenly get lots of jaggies which you can see whilst racing.
Texture Filtering - I use Quality instead of High Quality. Extra speed with no visible loss of quality.
Triple Buffering - There is no point in turning this on unless you use V-Sync ON.

i am still having problems with my card in that all the GTR tracks now look sparkly and shiny. Any idea if there is a particular setting i should alter to smooth it all out? It looks all tasty when sitting still on grid but once in motion looks a bit naff.
Think i am running 4xAA and 8xAF at the moment in the NV panel, with v-snyc and triple buffering and mutli-sampling all on. The game config panel says Level 4 ?
I never know whether to have things set 'application controlled' or use the NV panel over-rides.
Problem is i have several sims of varying age on my pc that all require different levels of graphics control to look their best.
Does anyone simply use the 'Quality' and 'High Quality' global setting s in NV panel?

I always thought that the golden rule is to have V sync set to off.

All the standard tracks Mark? some addons are known for it and i think its something to do with the track textures.

I know there's a fix for that for rFactor, not heard of it happening in GTR2. From what I've read you'd be best off setting the NV panel to "Quality". Don't know if it'll fix that bug though. |

i am pretty sure my FPS is now always way above the 60hz refresh rate of my lcd monitor ! hence using v-sync this time around. I think if i tried it with it off, it would be like piloting an F1 car around the tracks FPS wise  No, sparkly textures problem is not limited to add-on tracks as noticed it at Hockenheim too. Though Brands accentuated it more with all the trees present. |

LCD monitors usually run on 60Hz. You only need it higher than that with a CRT.
