I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed HUGE FPS drops when driving in large packs of cars when using recent nvidia drivers (285.62, 285.79). It starts after about 3 minutes of racing when suddenly the framerate drops below 10 and the steering input is heavily delayed (>500ms).
When using the old version 266.58, this never happens. I have limited my framerate in the PLR to 120 frames, and it stays that high using the old drivers, no matter what. I'm using a GTX285 btw, factory clocked.
Another thing, which probably never had a solution, are the infamous DirectX 9 driver resets/crashes with rFactor. But that's another story, since I tried for years to understand why rFactor is so unstable when running in DirectX 9 mode.
I was never able to drive in DirectX 9 mode with my current card (with both Windows Vista 64Bit and Windows 7 64Bit) since the driver will reset while driving (black screen for a short time) or rFactor crashes completely, and not just occasionally. In DirectX 8, rFactor runs for hours. Probably indefinitely.
