Your system sucks!

Edited: my system is lower on any dimension but RAM, and I can have butter experience @72fps (capped). I just wish AMS2 had a visual mode that locks the horizon in place (the further away, the smoother, leaving the car and it's surrounds shaking as needed)

I have mine capped at 143fps with g-sync on, gives me plenty of headroom except for the most extreme scenarios.

This actually is an interesting point you note here and I would probably advise anyone who is marginal on performance to experiment with capping the maximum framerate either by vsync or perhaps better if you have a freesync/gsync display using the launch command -fpscap XX

I have been experimenting recently with running the game on a current gen AMD APU. I've found after a lot of testing of settings and various clock speeds and cooling solutions that the best experience is gained by running with an fpsCap to hold back a little cpu headroom in reserve gives by far the best experience overall. The resulting consistent frame pacing is butter smooth. There's some cpu headroom there for when things get heavier due to collisions etc and I can increase the graphics settings quite significantly without detrement.

This has stacked with my prior trials of running on Steamdeck to convince me that running with a framecap on systems with more limited resources really is the route to the best possible experience and I'd encourage people to give it a go if they have issues with frame pacing and/or minimums

I'm not sure -fpscap72 is working right now... (it was in the past, I was using "-novr -fpscap72 -doNotPauseOnFocusLoss").
I'll try again but the last time I put 90fps on NVIDIA driver, AMS2 was doing the 90fps, not the 72fps. Could it be were we put the VSYNC "ON"?... Will test....

@Dave Stephenson
Ok...
Now, it's working with "-fpscap 72", with the space in-between.

It's weekend, so lets open a fun topic to talk about.
Topic of the weekend: If you could erase your memory of one game just to experience it all over again like the first time, which game would you choose? (and what was your best memory about that game?)

Tough one.. id say Bloodborne or World Of Warcraft

I have crew chief, simhub, racehub, hwinfo64 and FPS monitor all running when I am Sim racing and with a full field of 48 cars and real weather, highest graphic settings, day and night transitions the highest ram usage I have seen is 19gb. I have 48gb of DDR5 6400 ram. I get stutters regularly, including the pit lane even though I have AI pit crew disabled.

So you confirm 16gb ram isn't enough
