Like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport before it, Project CARS intends to deliver a highly realistic driving simulation.

In short, the game looks amazing and is the most visually impressive racing simulator we have ever seen.

The game has some pretty hefty system spec requirements, too.

Fret not, this is what this article is all about.

Despite a lengthy early access period, this racing sim hasn’t launched without its issues.

Actually, it’s just one big issue: the game runs horribly on any AMD GPU.

Somehow no optimization has been dedicated to AMD Radeons when at least one in three PC gamers own one.

Coincidentally, Project CARS is plastered with Nvidia logos in-game.

“We’re reaching out to AMD with all of our efforts.

We’ve provided them 20 keys as I say.

They have though been very forthcoming with support and co-marketing work at their instigation.

We’ve had emails back and forth with them yesterday also.

So it seems AMD have been slacking off, something we have certainly noticed this year.

After making a big fuss about their newOmega drivers, we haven’t seen an official update since December.

Although we don’t expect frequent driver updates from AMD, waiting almost six months seems like a stretch.

Last month’s Grand Theft Auto V optimized Beta driver could have become official by now.

Project CARS was tested at three resolutions: 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160.

We selected the highest visual quality options with FXAA enabled.
