There's an awesome Mini GT with a vtec engine round our way, goes like stink

i have 2 30gb OCZ vertex's running in raid 0 in my i [email protected]/6gb ram/gtx 295 I'm swapping them for (faster drives) 2x120gb ssd's soon and will sell my current 2x30gb's. Bigger drives generally = faster speeds. Plus, ssd's are getting quicker and quicker, raiding them can result in some immense speeds

load times for anything are virtually non existent, all programs in taskbar are instantly ready to use as soon as i log into windows 7, and i'm in servers on my own before anyone else in every game - so they do what i wanted them to

I have a samsung f1 1tb for my storage and games that aren't as important

So glad i went ssd, will never go back to hdd as main drives

There's a few things to disable in win7 like prefetching/indexing/defrag and other tweaks. Some ssd's require maintenance like wiping and trim, but alot of the drives now have firmware that can achieve this whilst in idle.

Barrichello will be a great first team mate & sick car setup guru for hulkenberg

But the best driver on the grid may actually have a chance of winning the championship again.

It is believed that the Spa operators were ordered to submit an environmental impact study, which has been denounced by the court as "seriously inadequate and incomplete."

Can only blame themselves though tbh, don't know how much it would of changed the outcome, but surely they should of worked their balls off to present a good case???

I'll buy the ps3 for gt5, sexy new slim one too

By then i'll probably have built up an impressive bluray collection ;D

Not sure wether the price for an hdmi cable will make any difference tbh

Digital signals are are basically on and off, whereas analogue can have different values, so better quality connectors can make a difference

my s2000 just seems really bouncy when it starts to slide a bit :| Gave up on it and i'm now using an elise

Couple screenshots and a short one lap replay of M3 being pushed hard.

Pushed hard or driven badly?

feels way better than grid if you set it to pro and disable aids, looks great aswell

Quote from anttt69 :

I went, it was good. Classic race on Saturday was awesome!

Apart from they had this lap time comp to win a pair of BTCC tickets i asked the bloke what sim they were using, he said 'Rfactor' you should of seen my face.
Then i saw the price £10 :eye-poppi! I promptly walked away thinking i could buy two copies of Rfactor for ten pounds. I mean if they wana charge that much then they should have a decent prize on offer or a real good sim to play on.

you should of looked at it as 2 really cheap btcc tickets

yup nfs is gonna look sick on my new rig

Quote from lukelfs :

Yeah, but he says this,

You can also animate the driver's head with the second joystick... what is really crazy is that the game supports a 3D mode on PC which has to be seen to be believed! So I would think that he is talking about track IR, But yeah i guess it is nvidia 3d, Which i wouldnt use and it would hurt my eyes LOl

I got a samsung 2233rz but didn't want to stump up the extra for the nvidia glasses aswell, heard really good things about them since GAY

how come it's only £24.99 on pc but it's £39.99 on xbox/ps3

Wow that sand trap was terrible

Surely it's just plain crazy for the lack of barrier aswell though??

yeah i would imagine they are talking about the nvidia glasses as LFSn00b pointed out.

Nice speedhunters pictures, after reading them i picked up on a comment from Rod Chong in the 2 bmw's article, he also makes those NFS articles on speedhunters:

Brandon just remember who made this game: It's the same development team that did the GTR series so you can be assured it's very realistic, especially when you drive it in the first person POV. So the style of the driving experience is in this direction when you turn off all the assists. I also come from this hardcore PC background (I was the co-founder of the Virtua_LM mod team remember and also used to work for SImbin) so from my personal perspective I would compare it to this lineage of games as the physics leads are the same people.
rRav3n these screens are done with a full blown gaming PC (sorry i'd have to look up the specs) running an X360 controller

It looks awesome for pc, and it's good to see him talking about the sim side of things, saying he comes from a hardcore pc background, virtua_lm member etc.

The thing is, i don't know wether or not to discount all of his ''realistic gameplay'' talk when he goes on to mention using a "360 controller" surely he should be using a wheel?!?!?

gta4 looks way better :s

Quote from Shadowww :

Dude, xbox360 version was leaked two days ago.

That's probably why he said he thinks this guy has the leaked xbox version
