iRacing Graphics Performance in 2025
Interested in people's thoughts on how well iRacing performs graphically in 2025. I saw this video from Tony Kanan re the 5090 and with 60 cars on track just barely gettiing over 60FPS (the 4090 was in the 40s). It got me thinking.... I know a 5090 is not attainable for most people and I don't imagine the majority of iRacers even run an 80 series card (or AMD equivalent). Join any endurance event or even a regular race with 20-30 cars and throw some rain in the mix and I imagine most people are having to make some serious graphical sacrifices to get anything near a decent FPS.
I haven't sifted through the recent updates but from a quick scan I did some more improvements to shadows etc but not much in the way of system performance improvements (maybe I missed it).
Given the 50 series look to be stupidly unattainable and overpriced I imagine a large majority of people won't be upgrading anytime soon. So the question to you all is should we expect better performance from iRacing in 2025?
edit add CPU into the mix in this conversation as it sounds like it is more so the bottleneck than the GPU.
