Project CARS is stated for a May 8 2015 release, and finally racing fans will get to experience the genre defining new simulator. Touted as a truly realistic racer from its physics to the insane amount of detail and realism present in everything from the accurately detailed cars to the beautiful environments.
Project CARS at 4K is undoubtedly a visual experience closer to real life than any other racer. Being able to render the game at such a resolution though would surely require quite a beefy setup, with a capable graphics solution.
GameGPU.ru has provided some benchmark results, that can be viewed below:
Project CARS: Maximum quality settings 4K Resolution:
| 2 GTX 980 SLI | Min 45 | Avg 52 |
| 2 GTX 970 SLI | Min 38 | Avg 44 |
| Radeon R9 295X2 | Min 35 | Avg 41 |
| GTX Titan X | Min 35 | Avg 39 |
| 2 GTX 780 TI SLI | Min 33 | Avg 40 |
| 2 GTX 780 SLI | Min 29 | Avg 34 |
| GTX 980 | Min 27 | Avg 30 |
| Radeon HD 7990 | Min 24 | Avg 28 |
| GeForce GTX 970 | Min 23 | Avg 25 |
| Radeon R9 290X | Min 21 | Avg 24 |
A variety of setups can provide the power needed to enjoy Project CARS at 4K with playable frame rates. For the time being though the Titan X is the only single GPU that can sustain a rather good experience at 4K. Opting for a dual card solution could prove cheaper in some cases but it can bring with it certain limitations or issues of the SLI or Crossfire configurations.
Still the GTX 970 SLI setup is easily the best value of the lot, and provides a quite good gameplay experience with Project CARS at 4K.
