Our simulated quad-core system also saw a respectable performance increase when with Hyper Threading enabled. When we enabled Hyper Threading, our framerates skyrocketed to 53fps and 70fps, respectively. Our simulated dual-core system was unable to offer an enjoyable experience as it ran the game with a minimum of 25fps and an average of 35fps (with minor stutters). Project CARS 2 appears to be using six threads and is one of the few games that benefits from Hyper Threading even on a quad-core system. We used the Ultra settings (as some settings affect the CPU) and dropped our resolution to 720p in order to avoid any GPU limitation. For our CPU tests, we selected the Long Beach stage and tested it with 25 cars on a sunny day using the exterior chase camera.

In order to find out how the game performs on a variety of CPUs, we simulated a dual-core and a quad-core CPU. In addition, players can enable/disable enhanced mirrors, window mode and some additional visual effects like post-processing filters, screen dirt, rain drops, heat haze and more. PC gamers can adjust the quality of textures, texture filtering, anti-aliasing, reflections, environment map, car detail, track detail, pit crew detail, shadow detail, motion blur, detailed grass, particle level and particle density.

Slightly Mad Studios has included a wide number of graphics settings to tweak. Thankfully, NVIDIA has added an SLI profile for this title on its latest driver, meaning that PC gamers won’t have to mess around with third-party tools in order to enable it. The game is powered by the Madness Engine and since it has just been released on the PC, it’s time to see how it performs on our platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, AMD’s Radeon RX580, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce and Catalyst drivers. Project CARS 2 is the latest sim racing game from the team behind the amazing NFS: Shift games, Slightly Mad Studios.
