Finally!

So just to bring everything to a point:

• Overall framerate is not good. The 30 FPS can't be holden constantly even if the PC is strong enough. Battlefield 4 with the same engine runs fine on max detail.
• Changing the ingame details doesn't affect the FPS. Better graphics doesn't mean worse performance. Worse details doesn't mean better performance.
• I even tried 2x downsampling and 2x upscaling. Downsampling made the graphics much better. The performance was exactly the same. The upscaling made the graphics horrible. The performance was the same.
• There are many locations where the framerate drops to 15-18 FPS. Screenshots are in this thread.
• Gamespeed is connected to the FPS. 30 FPS = Normal Speed, 60 FPS = twice as fast, drops to 15 FPS = slow motion. So the framerate drops don't just make the game laggy, they let us also play in slow motion.
• IMPORTANT: The timer of the time trials is not connected to the FPS. The gamespeed is! Using the command which limits the framerate to 60 FPS doubles the gamespeed while the timer runs an normal speed. So we have a build in cheat which gives the player the possibility to do a Time Race with doubled speed!
• On the other hand the FPS drops are another kick in the as*. For people under 30 FPS it is NOT possible to reach the best time because of the slow motion while the timer runs at normal speed!

Edit @@jjrcng:

I also do have an i7 core. An i7 3770. And my max. CPU usage while playing NFS Rivals is nearly never above 25%. I really do think, that this is really bad. Most of the time more than 2/3 of my CPU is not used!
