Try bumper cam, then switch to either dash cam or chase cam. you will see a massive difference.
Unfortunately, EA has not optimised this game very well, as the car model, uses so many resources, it basically cuts your FPS in half, from what it shows in Bumper cam.
Same issue on all views, the GPU is just not being pulled. I can even turn on DLSS and it doesn't change.
Only getting 60-70% GPU usage when game is running.
I will admit that the framerate is better on bumper cam, over 100, but I am still only getting 60% GPU usage.
When the game spins up the GPU to 100% the frame jump drastically. This happens when I pause the game, or momentarily when the race starts. After that the GPU usage drops again and the frame rate drops with it.
Again DLSS, lower settings, nothing can get it to draw the power of the 4090.
I think it's a 40 series driver issue, as @JG-skinny-racer 3080 doesn't have this issue.
- 2 years agoIt's not just a problem with the 40 series.
I have an Asus RTX 3080, and I'm also experiencing severe FPS issues.
I don't encounter this issue in any other game.
While playing WRC:
CPU usage: 27%
GPU usage: 64%
FPS: 53-63
It doesn't matter whether it's on ultra-low or ultra settings; the FPS remains the same, and there's stuttering.
I'll probably remove this garbage, as this is an unplayable game…- 2 years ago
Honestly, for €49.99 it is very good, I have not had very high expectations, but the optimization on PC is a disaster, I have a 11700k paired with an RTX 4070, 32GB 3600Mhz and the game installed on an NVMe and for some unknown reason, The GPU is not used at 100%, it always runs around 45~65% usage. There is a lot of stuttering and the FPS sometimes drops below 60FPS due to low GPU usage. Please fix the optimization, this is not the time to give away our money. Thanks and regards.

I had this problem (caused by my usb pedals csl elite loadcell v1). my fix for now was connect the pedals directly on the wheel base.

weird how people are getting very different experiences.
For me, the game seems to scale pretty well in terms of performance when using DLSS vs native. The weird thing i get is very poor picture quality on anything apart from DLSS. Native with ciinematic AA and x16 AF looks terrible compared to the upscaled DLSS image.
also whilst i don't think the presets are particularly well optimised (some settings don't really impact performance and so don't need changing) there is again good scaling. The most impactful settings appear to be car reflections, shadows, mirrors, in that order. not on the graph below, but ultra low preset was around 185 fps (but looked pretty bad)
This is on a 5800x3d and undervolted (0.9v) RTX 3080

Worth trying the following if you haven't already.
DDU your driver and install a debloated new driver.
With DLSS I've found that I get more stuttering if I turn of auto dynamic preset and use any of the DLSS preset.
On seems to smooth it out better.
I also turn car reflections and mirrors to low.
For the guys with a 4090 have you tried increasing your resolution....with preferably a higher DL setting in your Nvidia control panel.
I have a i5 9600kf @ 5ghz and a 4060 running at 2560x 1080 on ultra with dlss and get 85+ fps on track but my GPU usage fluctuates between 75-95%
When I increase it to 3440x1440 @ high settings and DLSS I get more or less the same avg but a higher GPU usage of 95+% and less fps fluctuations.
In general, the game needs a lot of optimization.
