Minimum and recommended hardware requirements for rFactor 2

On this page we list the hardware specifications required by rFactor 2 , which were spread by Image Space Incorporated in recent hours. The wait is driving simulation is nearing completion and further delays aside, should be available by the end of 2011. This is a fairly ambitious project, which aims to update the technology behind most of the features of the simulation.

Minimum:

CPU: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 or 2.4 GHz AMD Athlon X2
Memory: 2 GB
Video card: NVIDIA 8600 GT or ATI / AMD 3850
Video Memory: 256MB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
DirectX 9.0c
Storage: 4 GB Recommended: CPU: 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or 3.0 GHz AMD Athlon X2 or better RAM: 4 GB + Video Card: NVIDIA 250 GTS or ATI / AMD 4870 or better Video Memory: 512MB + Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista 64bit, 64bit Windows 7 Storage: 4 GB + Note: required C + + 2008 SP1 Runtimes (included with the installer).

rFactor 2 will include a new simulation technology of wear and overheating of the tire. The rubber is now considered as a body separate from the rim. The area of contact between the rubber and the asphalt will have in rFactor 2 a more important role in determining the performance of the car by adherence depending on the runway. This contact area is detected dynamically depending on the trajectory, speed and other driving variables, and affects areas of the tire to overheat and wear out.

Image Space Incorporated has also thought of a new technology to deliver dynamic state of the surfaces of the race, called Real Road. The weather, for the first time in rFactor, will be managed dynamically. The model behind the shock also has been completely revised, and studied in conjunction with technology to manage the game in multiplayer, so as not to increase the latency.

Among the features include the new module for editing rFTools called, who delivers most of the community development tools with which they operate the same developers of ISI. There is also new management technology of artificial intelligence called the AIW and support improved force feedback.
