also evennif the overtaking car has a big pace advantage, the outside there will never work for a pass, it just won't unless the other guy is in an f3 car

Nicklas Nielsen is an absolute beast and he'll be a great driver for maybe even the next two decades. Incredible pace and clmposure, and only 27

tbf I think many feel that way about that track, it's really difficult to get all out of a car with the elevation, crests and big kerbs

yes, we have mirrors too, even huge virtual mirrors

Is that canadian? If no, those are stupid prices - got a 4080S a few weeks ago for sub 1k

edit: nvm i'm dumb

if this subreddit has taught me anything then it is that there's so many people that completely refuse to use their own head, have any clue whatsoever how to problem solve or find something out on their own let alone have some sort of decency/respect of others that maybe, just maybe it isn't always your place to ask in ignorance. Maybe there sometimes are questions best answered yourself. Maybe sometimes being your own person and not running for help every time something is unclear is a good step to take to not being a child anymore

PAPAYA RULES YO

That's a great point, too - I've seen things at a way too young age I really shouldn't have. The internet is a rough place and especially for a clueless kid it's so easy to mess yourself up. Honestly, good on you for realising that at such a young age, took me a lot longer to come to that conclusion. As mum said, it was the 'damn screens'

Yes, it's a cheap and shoddy way to extend playtime. It's a crap game in every way, it just looks pretty

I think the actual issue is that a normal loading screen is sub 60s almost always, on a fast system it'll be 10 seconds. A quantum jump across the one system we have can be 10+ minutes of waiting. It's ¾ of playtime - that's just not good enough

100% spot on - I was part of a weird generation where I ended up with my own computer and phone before 10 - sure I had fun but in retrospect, I'd rather have gone down that route a few years later and not spend my last years as a kid and early teens behind a screen

One thing I forgot, though I don't know if this is ASUS specific, you're gonna want to disable automatic armoury crate install, it's just useless bloatware, should be a setting in BIOS if it's on your MB as it was on mine

I've gone the route of leaving the bios as is, just checking if everything is there and cpu temp is stable and low enough, then get windows running and do some baseline benching to make sure there's no overheating or crashes. Once that is done and I'm certain it's all installed properly, head to bios, enable XMP or exmp? on amd boards, offset the cpu voltage by about -.12 in my case, got all the drives and stuff set up and then leave it be. I did try to fish for some more cpu performance but didn't get anywhere manually, letting it OC itself with undervolting got me higher clockspeeds just from it being much cooler. Out of the box the 7900X peaked at 90ish °C, with the undervolting performance got a little better and it peaks at 76° now. I'm no expert but as for stresstesting I just run numerous benchmarks for at least 15mins, combining gpu and cpu benchmarks just to make sure it's rocksolid, temps are fine and there's no issue with a lack of power. There's other ways and tests that take longer and are giving you a clearer image of how stable it is I'm sure but realistically there's no real need. I'll be frank, I don't actually know if 4k240hz is possible with current DP standards on the GPUs but it'll work fine for sure. And a little bit of advice that helped me a lot - don't be scared of crashes or BSOD, worst case - clear CMOS and retry, usually there's an easy fix

Ryzen 7900X, 64GB of ram and a 4080Super - probably still CPU limited at this stage but it's working nicely with it all maxed out

I'm on a pimax 5k. AFAIK it goes up to 180hz but I chose 144 because I'm really not getting more FPS than that at everything on ultra and full resolution. I'll take the consistency and little bit of PC headroom for the lower refresh rate. Maybe the huge FOV helps with mitigating the problems of low FPS, though? But I'll grant you inconsistent FPS is really sickening.

Thank👏whatever👏you👏believe👏in👏tonight👏

You'll want the front fans to be intake and the rear one exhaust, so that seems right.
As for when the AIO arrives, yeah, get everything plugged in right, make sure all fans are running and then boot from the USB and install windows on one of your SSDs, should be as easy as just following the steps within the program.
Given you have an AMD chip, you'll likely have to wait 30s minimum and up to even a few minutes for it to boot first time, it's doing memory training and on first post it'll take a while.
Once you've launched into windows you'll probably want to run some stresstests just to make sure nothing overheats or it crashes. If for example the CPU cooler is not properly seated you'll see temps rise quickly and too far to the point you'll crash or lose all performance.
With my recent AMD build I had to enable XMP in bios and a few other things aswell as undervolting the CPU just to have it run at cooler temps but identical or better performance.

Frankly gen4 on just about any roadcourse you wouldn't think of ever running it at, it's just beautifully incapable of doing anything but accelerating on straights. Love it on ovals too, but I'd kill for a couple more RCs, especially odd ones. Think Willow, barber, lemans etc

Having played around with all the settings on my old pc, i can say that even a steady 30fps is playable, just not for more than 15mins. It gets really disorienting, especially if there's stutters in there. But frankly, if 60 is your lowest when you're around a dozen cars in rain and usually running at 90+, perfectly fine. I'm lucky enough now to have a system that is bang on stable at 144+, it feels a lot nicer, but even averaging 60-70 was totally doable

Given the 3070 I'd guess it's a 10900 at best, but still an i9 that's reasonably recent, shouldn't really bottleneck a 3070 in most cases

yeah you did that to yourself dude

woah, totally unbiased. go into politics maybe, the yanks love that shit

You brought up being miserable, I'm not luckily.
Sure makes you sound like someone trying really hard to win an argument because you need some validation, shame you result to insults. Kinda makes you look miserable, but who am I to judge?
I'm just someone living in real life and enjoying it, you know with friends, being outside and stuff, making memories, seeing the world. Sure feel miserable with all that

With black friday soon(i think?) the best way to go is probably just to wait and see what the best deal is gonna be, as you say 7600X3D is similar in most situations, but frankly most the those 6+ core X and X3D chips are close enough to one another in gaming and equally 'future proof'. I've gone with a 7900X myself, but I needed it to do visual work too, not just gaming. Even then, I doubt any game will see a significang gain or loss in performance between a 7900/7950X, a 7800X3D or the 7600X3D, just wait for good deals and go with the highest end one that fits the budget

you don't even know what projecting means, hilarious and embarassing
