Vertical sync (Vsync) | In-game Vsync caps the frame rate at 30 FPS. It is recommended to enable it in-game (if in-game Vsync is disabled, then car engine sounds are broken) and disable it in Nvidia Control panel (to remove input lag and stuttering caused by Vsync). | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Gameplay is uncapped after ver 1.1 update, but FMV cutscenes and menus are capped at 30 FPS. High frame rates break engine sounds and 60fps cause tire smoke to become thicker and move faster, often filling your entire screen in snowy areas. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
Anti-aliasing (AA)
- DSR Supersampling AA can be enabled for GeForce GTX 600 series or later video cards with the 344.48 WHQL or newer drivers. Windows 8.1 users should run the game in Windows 7 compatibility mode to increase stability and performance. If DSR is not displayed correctly (part of the display is cut off of the monitor), exit the game, toggle the desktop resolution to a higher setting in the Nvidia Control Panel, then reboot the game. The desktop resolution can then be reverted to native.
