It is an ATI Radeon 5500 HDMI 1.3 card.

It is an ATI Radeon 5500 HDMI 1.3 card.

For reference, the card you linked to on the other site (the GT 640) scores a 1302.  The minimum recommended card for pCARS scores a 926.

I think 5500 is the base "series" of cards, I don't think there is an actual "5500" card.  The only two I see are a 5550 and a 5570.  The 5550 scores a 424 and the 5570 a 797.

The card you linked should run pCARS ok.  Expect a moderate increase compared to what you're running now.  That said, I think your money could be better spent, though I'm not 100% sure any of the cards I'd recommend have hdmi 1.4  I'd have to do some research.

***Note:  I'm still not 100% sure that these scores are the absolute best way to benchmark performance.  Scores are taken from this page... http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

If I recall, the card number came from Windows' hardware manager. The current card works and, at the moment, that's all that really matters.

The Facebook Page has a new notice that (American) Thanksgiving will be the release date, for all platforms.

[CharlieTuna]

Ah, so...  It will arrive a little sooner than "soon".

Oh boy!

[MasterGT]

Hmmm, that was on the Facebook page, on Saturday. Unfortunately, I didn't realise until now that it is only a fan page. Now there is discussion about what it really means, but as far as I can tell, Thanksgiving is still only a wished for date.

I apologise for any confusion.

Reading their forums is like watching any new group of people trying to feel their way around in the dark with no flashlights.

Some people are confident and willing to work with others, set up races, maybe organised a series, etc.

Others have little confidence, pussyfoot around problems, don't know how to handle problems, don't have a comfortable controller, so they flop around a track, etc.

Some don't want passworded rooms because they are the downfall of civilization, some refuse to recognise the benefits of responsibly using VoIP during racing.

With fewer host controls, some don't know how to deal with crashers and bashers, who they call griefers.

History repeating itself.

FYI, Dan_Zitions from the PSN forum is over there but I'm not sure what name he uses in pCARS.  You can probably tell by his posting style, good bad or ugly.  Last I heard he was deeply involved in providing feedback about the game...

Tried out the Ford Mark IV (or whatever it is) and the Focus this week.  Couldn't keep the Mark IV on the track.  Maybe that's how it's supposed to drive.  Couldn't keep the Focus on track.  I'm pretty sure that cars should be a lot easier to drive.  Everything still feels so disjointed.  It's like every car has its own laws of physics.

Yeah the Focus sucks.

The SLS is fun if you like drifting.

[150] Project CARS - Build 397 | 2012 BMW M3 GT @ Milan GP ( Monza )


Make sure to set the vid to 720P.

Even though I think the rain reflections in the road are almost too "perfect" (for lack of a better word), it's still pretty damn impressive.

Is that back seat driver view? :wat 

The view is similar to Forza 4 with the interior moving and all.

It is an impressive video for sure, I think I see what you mean about the reflections.. it looks almost like driving on a glass-like surface rather than just a wet road, like the reflections are too sharp and precise (the difference between still water and rippling water for example).

I think it's in-Helmet view, so you have regular cockpit view like in GT5 then an even more realistic driver's-eye view from inside the helmet.

Having grown up in Vancouver, I'm pretty well an expert on rain.  Looks like the track is covered in a layer of standing water.  You wouldn't want to drive that at highway speeds with all seasons let alone race a car on it.  It does look impressive though.

Ran this last night...  This car is getting better and better...
