thanks for the info! any idea when 3000 series cards are slated to release? it feels like it's been a long time since 2080tis dropped.. but my perspective is all warped from working so much lately ;x



I've got 3 of the Samsung CF791 still, 34" 1440p, 21:9, 100hz

but saw a pic on reddit of a 49" with 2 27"s stacked and I really like the aesthetics





gawwwdamn that price tag tho $1770..but I guess it is a bit wider and has 144hz over mine..

I liked the 38GL950G monitor so much dat I got a 2nd one. Now I can alt tab between games without loosing sight of wats going on in the other game.



Using a sweet ergotron mount so I can easily change the positioning of the screens.

Y’all ever hook your pc up to a tv so you can lounge? I have a 65inch LG C9 OLED about 15 ft from my comp. thinking of hooking it up sometimes if I’m playing something I’d want a controller for anyway.. like a Souls type game etc

Yes, my 82 is hooked to my gaming rig now, stuff like Red Dead looks awesome.

Whats a good setup for a racing simulator?

For about 150$ minimum you can get a Thrustmaster TMX wheel and pedals with a pretty good medium range FFB wheel. Best bang for the buck will get you started and clamp it to a desk and make it so your seat won't roll when you push the pedals.

For about 200$ you can get an optional wheel stand which is a basic rig without the seat

for about 400$ you can get a sand and seat.

You can also google "deathmobile sim racing" and make a stand for the price of a few 2x4s and attack the wheel to that and find a seat off craigslist from a car for a few bucks and mount it to your 2x4s

You also gotta mount the monitor in front somewhere in front of it.

Sims to pick up are Asseto Corsa and eventually iRacing (what lando usually spends time on) and youre up and running at a minimum level which is plenty fun.

Setups go up to 30k and even 100k for the high end stuff but 150$ is the minimum you need to join the fun.

PC needs to be about medium range. CPU benefits sims more than usual games. But it doesnt take much beyond medium specs.

Thanks fo the reply.

I reckon I would spend up to $3-5k for a good setup. Why do you recommend AC before iRacing? Good thats its more CPU than graphics should make things cheaper.

Is F1 2019 too arcadey?

wow thats a huge budget. You can have practically the same setup you saw Lando use then.

Pretty much this is what it would be down to each component.


--as of right now thats about the best setup there is commonly. What you can spend the extra stuff left over is if you want a partial 'DOF" motion rig or just rumble feedback for the engine. which would be about 1k extra for the motion rig or 200$ for the engine buttkicker. one or the other is recommended. probably buttkicker

Rumble feedback would be a "Buttkicker Gamer 2" under the seat. Motion would be a "DOF Reality" or "Sim Lab DBox" or maybe "RSeat chassis" or "DOF chassis" you can search more vids on those if they interest you.

It would look like this. Pretty much if you want to go non motion like in the first video get a sim lab p1 and a Buttkicker or if you want motion DOF Reality there are some options that only slide the back end of the car (called traction loss) and fit your budget. There are a lot out there. https://dofreality.com/#h3



To start click here and shop for the Fanatec Podium DD1 base with the V3 regular pedals. use the configurator to get a round wheel and an F1 style wheel of your choosing and any accessories you might want. Its the best direct drive wheel on the market and the best company in the game with max compatibility. its worth the price and are the most premium wheels, stronger than a real life car in nm of torque.

https://goo.gl/zLmvKQ

Then go here for the actual rig and monitor mounts, you gotta figure if you want triple or a single curved screen. I recommend a new Samsung curved screen with a single stand on the rig.
https://sim-lab.eu/product/p1-x-sim-racing-chassis/

Also a Rift S in VR is probably a better choice than screen if youre willing to do that and you can skip the screen. probably cheaper.

Thats pretty much the basic bang for the buck combo right now.

AC is pretty much an open ended system with the most realistic physics and force feedback and the best content creators make stuff for it. You can for example buy the most advanced replica of the 2019 formula 1 car for 5$ from a place called race sim studio and its an exact 1 to 1 specification and then download a laser scanned track of every F1 track on the calendar and get skins of the official teams. Its the most visceral realistic open wheeler experience there is in VR especially.

F1 games aren't arcadey just they are a different engine thats not a sim, its more I would say "accurately scripted" and thats not to say you shouldn't play it, you should its super fun I have went through the season once or twice. its its own thing and in some ways its real enough especially since 2018. Tracks aren't laser scanned and the physics aren't dynamic underneath the hood. But it does give you the feel like youre in an accurate representation on rails. just not as nuanced.

iracing is more serious like when you've mastered basic race craft and have experience thats when it becomes rewarding. on a sim level its reworking all its structure to kinda catch up to where AC has already been they updated like half a dozen cars. AC is like car porn with unlimited cars and tracks of anything you can imagine. While iracing is more about the races and the dopamine rush of intense racing while having a more basic and limited overpriced system. There is no place for organized competitive racing like on iracing. Max and Lando can be seen racing some days when they are off work. AC is for more enjoyment of your rig and the feel of driving different things. Iracing is for that visceral competition and goosebump feel. If you ever lead a race you would poop your pants.

theres also Dirt Rally 2.0 to consider. Worth playing for sure.

I can give you some more links depending on which direction you think you want to go.

I would say ACC has the best force feedback (FFB). It was hard to go back to AC and AC already has IMPRESSIVE FFB. The only issue with ACC, imo, is the VR. It is way to blurry and, to me, unplayable in VR.

AC is my favorite sim hands down because of the modding community. I heard RFactor has a better feel for cars but the AC community is way better.

You race a lot? In any communities/leagues or whatever?

I once accidentally got ACC to look ok in VR once but later reformatted and couldn't remember what I did it was a weird combination of SS and ASW and messing with the sharpness and all sorts of weird things lol. never could make it look right again even after spending hours messing with it.

it was like a unicorn.

force Feedback felt generally similar to me though it depends on the car.

yeah I go all over the place. sometimes races on Touge Union where I am a in a Japanese gang (Night Kids Remastered) but pretty much mostly on iRacing. During F1 season I usually try out the car on the track its gonna be that week and do a bunch of laps to get the nuance of the course down. so when I watch qualy and the race im like... ok I see what they did there.... and its fun to run it along with them in VR. and I still play Dirt Rally 2 when in the mood.

Rfactor had a different sim construct that put all its chips into complex tyre physics that were actually too complex to run on systems properly and the rest of the construct suffered. It feels more intense than it is and therefore actually takes away from the immersion. AC is not as complex but more accurately simulates what its like to actually drivel and how cars behave in general overall and is the only one that you can semi accurately drift in and many other little details that have to do with the nature of speed and green delta accuracy and front end feel and grip dynamics of elastic phases.

Rfactors construct is only good for open wheelers too. Everything else is off and unnatural. I would do a few races in historic Monaco in a historic formula car but that was about it. Modern AC mods are just the best and actually feel like youre driving a car lol.

In iracing half the cars are an older model that was too binary so you were either in grip or out of control there was no recovery possible which is unrealistic. everyone called it ICEracing. Now about a dozen iracing cars have a new tyre model that is more on par with AC and when I do iRacing I stick to those.

[Rayaarito]

That's so funny that you mention touge union, I just heard about them today for their jdm mods. I still can't find a decent stock 240sx mod. That and a rocket bunny hatch model so I can play with the physics.

I mainly race on Arcis servers in AC. They're legit the cleanest people I've ever raced with and their servers automatically track the drivers so you could compare yourself with the best and see where you're ****ing up

[MrJensenn]

Racing guys are you sleeping behind the wheel?

Humblebundle has a huge racing bundle atm:
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/just-drive

We’re going the distance, and we’re going for speed with these racing games. Approach the starting line with a stock car in NASCAR Heat 4, exotic hypercars in Project CARS 2, or motorcycles in Road Redemption, and more.

Assetto Corsa and Project Cars 2 are pretty decent games from reading their reviews atleast.

When you say "dip" are you cruising at 90 and it drops down to 69 or that is just hanging out at 69?

If it is the first case it will help as what is happening is your 4 core 4 threads are getting saturated and the 8/8 will fix that.

If it is the second case your dealing with GPU power. Dropping down a few settings from ultra to high/medium will fix it.

It's pretty consistent in the 70 range but sometimes dips to 56-65 which is noticeable
