Get RadeonPro and use that for your settings instead of CCC. Unlocks many more of the "hidden" options buried in CCC.

- Give SMAA a try to help with image quality and frames. Its another one of those cheap, "thanks a lot consoles", post processing types of AA just like MLAA and FXAA, HOWEVER, the big difference is that SMAA is supposed to blur textures way, way less than FXAA & MLAA. I think FXAA & MLAA look terrible, I bought a PC and a 1080P monitor for a reason, if I wanted things all blurry and looking like someone smudged a bunch of crap on my screen I would have bought a console, and thats (supposedly) what the great thing about SMAA is. People have been reported super duper great results with SMAA relative to FXAA and MLAA.

- Also, it has SweetFX built in, you just apply it from within the program, you dont need to replace files in every single one of your game's folders and stuff. SweetFX can change the colors, contrast, sharpness, and LOTS of other great things. You can almost get an edited screen shot look while playing the game with the amount of visual tweaks SweetFX gives you.

- Plus, for RFactor 1 (and a bunch of other games) it adds ambient occlusion! Haha who would of thought RFactor 1 would have been on the official list of supported games! (who knows what other games it works with, maybe all RFactor 1 engined games?)


This page will give you info and some screenshot comparisons of some of the supported features of RadeonPro (make sure to full screen the images)

- Dynamic V-sync Control (DVC)
- Dynamic Frame rate Control (DFC)
- Movie Recording
- OSD Functions
- FXAA

- Ambient Occlusion
- SweetFX

So are you supposed to uninstall CCC? What about triple-screen users? What about Crossfire?
You got a walk-through of how you got it going? I have it but don't use it, don't know where to begin with it.
 
CCC hasn't worked since I did a format / reinstall. I have an old card, 4870, are these instructions aimed at those people.

I seem to have reasonable frames in game not amazing, no env / road reflection. Road reflection low gives me the black squares bug...

But importantly, I have no CCC so only adjust settings in game.

So do you use the new settings this tool gives INSTEAD of in game for a speed boost?
 
It's to replace CCC, there are still options in CCC like setting up eyefinity and stuff like that but I only use CCC for that. I always ctrl-alt-delete and close mom.exe and CCC.exe before gameplay (long history for many users now of causing stutters). Just set everything in RadeonPro, make a profiler for each game though. Make sure u uninstall and instal the most current version (April 2013 I think).
 
Did you manage to get SMAA working in rFactor 2? I tried radeonpro a few months ago but SMAA did not seem to work in game even though it was selected.
 
thx spinelli

Click to expand...

Glad to hear!

DO NOT CHANGE THE GLOBAL SETTINGS GUYS, MAKE SURE TO MAKE/SAVE A PROFILE FOR THE SPECIFIC GAMES' EXE.

I suggest you guys look up what sweet fx can do ;).
 
Would like more info on peoples settings with successful increases in performance. I have installed Radeon pro and I don't see any difference.

Thanks
 
I use RP and am very happy with it. I've tried using SMAA in the past and now with b342 however I cannot notice any difference in AA quality? Using FXAA or traditional AA I can.

Strange....

Gonna try it, but have no clue if it will help frame rate for me :D I think I decided a new computer / graphics card is what I need :)
 
hi guys sorry, someone can provide some profile more or less suitable for HD7870? not that I want to lay hands on RadeonPro, but try it this morning and I had to restore system, some bug'm sure something set wrong or ought not to have touched and then in RF1 and RF2 came with the settings that I have optimal as if all the minimum, like this:

View attachment 10550

is an example but this was exactly what happened to me
 
Use RadeonPro instead of CCC, set CCC to app controlled for everything and delete or just change the profiles in CCC to app controlled. Then shut down mom.exe and CCC.exe (should always shut these down anyways). In RadeonPro click add profile, point to the games' exe. Don't touch, tick, untick anything, except the few things you want to change like aa, amount of aa, type of aa (Multi sampl, adaptive etc).

Make sure you also right click on the game in the list of profiles on the left and click on apply settings. Also make sure when you are making changes that you are making changes tithe game's profile, not the global one.
 
I installed RP and clicked to start it up but nothing happens. Where do I launch it from? The icon in the start menu does nothing.
 
Didnt get any change in FPS with this Its like its not running. I know it because of the frame counter. Ill just use CCC. I use in game AA and get better FPS with that
 
Do you have to run rF2 from the RadeonPro launcher or are the changes made automatically when you start rF2 normally ?
 
The only thing that has to be open RadeonPro, if in the background you open directly from the rFactor2 Launcher and has to work perfect, if not try the following: Tweaks tab looking down and click the box disable aero, then save and run from the rFactor 2 Launcher, and if it is working you will see that it disables aero win 7.....if you have win 7... :eek:
 
Ya just save/apply settings in radeon pro. As long as you have it minimized to the system tray or whatever it's called you can start the game from the exe, from a shortcut, don't matter.

Has anyone tried the ambient occlusion in RFactor 1? It's on the list of officially supported titles. Supposedly adds more depth to objects and more shadows....
 
So where are we regarding ATI cards these days?

Thinking of upgrading my GPU in the near future. And this is the only game where it seems to hurt by being ATI owner for me :(

Wish it wasnt so. They are so much cheaper.

Nvidia is going out with a new lineup in a week or two. With a little bit of luck I can get a decent bargain on an old used premium card.

Maybe nvidia 780 with 4gb of ram or a powerfull high end ATI.

So where are we regarding performance wise with ATI these days?
 
Folks says that is a little better with couple of last drivers, but in your place i will simply buy 780 and don't look back :) Really it's not worth the hassle.
 
So many cheap old btc mined cards out there...

grrr. How bad can mined cards be really.

Also, everyone has warranty, at least one year+ for me to check it out and try to see if it is bad. Otherwise, just replace it under warranty.
 
bit coin miners were running 100% for months straight, no downtime. It would be like buying a car that was a rental, cab, or cop car.
 
Ya but cards don't really slow down. Also, I thinkin mining uses low memory clocks (or core clocks, 1 of the 2). Having said that, the new GTX 970 is $350 if you don't want to spend much.
 
So any conclusion about whether SMAA works with rF2? I'd like to try it (using RadeonPro), but unlike all the other settings that work nicely, SMAA seems to do nothing whether on (Ultra) or off.
