I played the game a bit today and did not manage to reach more than ~1700 MB of RAM. I decided to edit the stream.ini anyway and set everything to 409600 (I don't understand why "00" at the end, but that another topic. 😅)

Performances are OK, but I play at locked 30 FPS by capping with the NVIDIA Control Panel. 😅 4K with maxed out settings, except for the two details sliders which I left to default... I also disable the "Definition" option because I prefer the blurry DoF filter. Finally, Car Density up to 100 is not very hardware intensive...

Even with my current settings, trying to maxed out the details sliders is a very bad idea. I honestly think that the only "remaster" this game need is a patch that would make "maxed out" settings playable on 4-core CPUs. 😅 The game is already quite beautiful, IMHO.
