Caterham Academy 2017 FPS drop
#1
Hi everyone,

I participated in the Caterham Academy 2017 race at Brands yesterday when I noticed my frames regularly dipped below 30 FPS. I didn't feel comfortable driving the rest of lap 1 so I teleported to pits. I would like to join in on the fun, however, so I have a couple of questions.
  • Does anybody else experience a massive drop in FPS with the Caterham?
  • Are there any known solutions?
I did some testing over 1 lap at Brands and here's what I found so far:
24x GT3 class, graphic settings very high, resolution 1920x1080 = 93FPS (avg) 70 FPS (min)
24x Tatuus, graphic settings very high, resolution 1920x1080 = 86 FPS (avg) 67 FPS (min). These results from the GT3 cars and Tatuus are what I expected and have regularly experienced in other full grid races.
24x Caterham, graphic settings very high, resolution 1920x1080 = 44 FPS (avg) 26 FPS (min)
24x Caterham, graphic settings minimum, resolution 1920x1080 = 39 FPS (avg) 27 FPS (min)
24x Caterham, graphic settings minimum, resolution 1280x720 = 40 FPS (avg) 25 FPS (min)

It appears that with the Caterham, FPS is roughly halved. And weirdly enough, changing the graphic settings does not seem to have any influence (or perhaps the FPS dips are less frequent). The liveries on the Caterham are not 4k so that does not seem to be the problem. There are also 4 LOD models and their size appears to be in the same ballpark as other cars. Googling the problem didn't provide any helpful result so I have reached the limit of my expertise. What are your thoughts?
