    Well, you will need both if you want to play with RaceRoom. :cool: (But having a CPU with good single core performance is more important than a top level GPU, you should be fine with a mid-range graphics card).

    I have a FX8320E, which is poor in single core performance... It suffers with more than 15 cars on track... And my 1070 is totally bottle-necked here for sure..

    Your 1070 is absolutely fine for R3E, your cpu probably isn't.

    This is going to sound kinda whacked, but if you are noticing unreasonably poor performance, try changing the full screen/windowed mode setting (even if you run triples) At one time raceroom was driving me mad with poor performance, and switching this made a monumental difference.

    This is a very specific case of course, but worth noting on the off chance anyone else suffering from this...a few of us were a year or so back.
