FX and phenom CPUs have pretty much half of the IPC compared to say Skylake or Ryzen, so that is what makes the performance so bad on OpenGL which is really not multithreaded enough.

so with a FX cpu for example you would need a 7Ghz clock to match 3,5ghz Skylake :)

ofc everything is not so 1:1, but you can get the picture why its like that

Quoting: ageresOnce again, no AMD CPUs are mentioned.

6600K is mentioned at 3,5ghz and since we know that Ryzen instructions clock per clock is pretty close to skylake, it should also mean that 3.5ghz ryzen cpu is recommended.

GTX 1070 as recommended :D... thats for 1080p?

I wont be able to max the visuals in the game on 1440p then :(

Already on this driver, havent played much though, but driver seems to work great as always. Don't have a Gsync monitor (its freesync one) to test the stuff in the release notes

By the way, this is a big feature - is this the first Feral port to have online play with Windows? :
"On Steam, race online against macOS, Linux and Windows players with a full grid of 20 cars, both current and classic."

no. Grid Autosport and Dirt Rally have that as well.

wohoo, nice!

a bit late though. 2017 season will end at the end of November, but still better than F1 2015 that was released when the 2016 season started.

Can't wait to play it!

Pretty good game so far. Interesting story and really great visuals. I wish FoV was bigger though, i get motion sickness when i turn too fast in the game. Doesn't run amazingly good also. It seems it has the Unreal Engine "Smooth FPS" thingy enabled 30-63FPS or whatever it used to be. Never seen it go above 63FPS. Might need some ini file tweaks for it.

Quick gameplay video also (with as small amount spoilers as possible):

Quoting: LinasAnybody brave enough to try it on AMD and post the results here, so I can make a risk-free purchase? ;)

Quoting: YaumeisterLooking forward to the patch, as of right now the game just crash to desktop for me when I try clicking on New Game in the main menu.

update is live already, fixes most issues.

but now i have cursor offset with a 2560x1440 resolution. i guess it doesnt scale the window properly and thinks its 1080p.
