And most importantly, use 900 degrees. The steering degrees don't seem to scale as well as they do in LFS.

PCI-E 3.0 is backwards compatible, so that shouldn't be an issue.

It simply looks like that motherboard isn't compatible with the card for some reason, usual package built PC headaches. Doesn't seem to be the only case either.

If you can actually see the bios screen with the monitor cables plugged in to the graphics card rather than the motherboard, then it means the card is working atleast.

You could try updating the bios and see if that makes any difference. Also try taking out any other cards, leaving just the 750 Ti connected and try to boot after that.

Finally got around to achieving 100%

Very close to PSN platinum trophy, will do that tomorrow.

If you like LFS physics, you'll like AC physics, simple as that.

No reason not to buy it now at -33% weekend sale.

So it seems the stock GEL launcher in Cyanogenmod supports icon packs of other launchers now.

Very basic AOSP stuff, CM11 snapshot ROM.

It appears that you can now purchase all cars online, no more frustration looking for an Asea now.

GTA Online only...

Rockstar. ಠ_ಠ

Ignore the trolls.

AMD cards are pretty good bang for buck, but they also consume tons more power and run hotter than Nvidia cards which results in more noise and higher temperatures so prepare to have a beefy power supply that can feed in the watts. I don't personally like their drivers and software either.

And my advice is still GTX 660.

Welp, 6 months was enough to get tired of iOS quirks this time. Got an offer for a new One that I couldn't refuse.



Also TH8 short shift plate from rightongates.com

Loving the new track. Green hell can't come soon enough.

Only installed the Asus BT drivers for this motherboard, same driver for both W7 and W8.

Anyway, this is pretty far offtopic now.

I agree, story missions were mostly pretty boring although I did enjoy the strangers and freaks missions a lot since they didn't take long to complete. Except for that one Epsilon mission, guess which one:

Quote from jibber :

I know the vehicles and weapons will be available in SP (yippee) but what I desire is more missions from strangers and freaks, or even some extension for the story.

I did try it when I was on W8 full time. Control panel BT settings, notification bar BT icon, start screen (eugh) BT devices, all went to the metro devices list before. If that is Microsofts idea of user friendliness, they're going in the wrong way.

Also tried it in VMWare this morning, and this does still happen. No matter how you look at it, that is terrible, terrible design. What is the reasoning for the touch UI jumping in your face when you just want to quickly connect a BT device from your desktop notification bar?!

W8 as a desktop OS is badly schizophrenic. I mean it runs two completely separate of UIs (metro touch and desktop) at the same time, as two different instances no less.

This functionality was _not_ in W8 when I tried it. Seeing how MS have backtracked to bring it more and more back to desktop rather than touch after their abysmal sales, it wouldn't surprise me if they added it back.

Windows 8 has plenty of good features, but touchscreen designed metro makes them all void. As long as that part of the OS can't be uninstalled completely to offer a 100% legacy desktop experience, I'm not interested in 8.

Wildstyle and Matrix....I am Married with kids, so there is a budget here, you made me laugh I was looking for the Min to get me by so to speak, not re-mortgage the house to improve my FPS HA HA HA

PMD over £130 for a gfx card to get me by, seriously.....there must be something cheaper that will work with AC...as a standard FPS rate?

If you're not willing to put in £130 (under £100 used) for a GPU I'd say don't bother at all until you upgrade the whole rig. Then again, that GTX 660 would serve you fine even if you upgraded the rest and kept that GPU for the new machine.

Sure there's stuff like the GTX 750 which is a few tenners cheaper, but just look at how much (theoretical) performance you lose: http://www.hwcompare.com/17116 ... x-660-vs-geforce-gtx-750/

Guess they've added that in the last 3 months then, because it wasn't there before.

Quote from majod :

And if you boot directly to desktop and use desktop applications, how exactly does metro bother you? When do you have to interact with it? Because I never had to.

Guess you've never used Bluetooth in W8 then. Select BT from the desktop and it brings you in to the metro interface devices list, there's no more desktop equivalent control panel for it.

Available BT settings in W7
Just a devices menu in W8

Atleast 6450 is useless.

Decent discount on this card, no point buying anything less.

Would be nice to have some SP content for a change, as online has lost all its appeal. Been trying to get 100% lately, up to 91% now.

Quote from Kristi :

You really lightened it out that it is not a fanboy topic yet you are still doing the fanboy thing. You are talking about GFX card as an expense chained to the simulator. You need a GFX card to run any games on your PC.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Useless topic really, just sack up and buy a graphics card. You won't regret it.

Quote from seniecka :

Don't see the point of this topic. A guy who has an ancient pc complains about new-technology simulators that can't handle his pc, so it makes him to make this thread.

These.

LFS sure has generated some funny people who presume they can run anything on a museum piece computer just because LFS runs on it. You can get INSANE performance even from cheap graphics cards these days, a used GTX 660 is like 100€ and it's more than enough for AC, atleast on a single screen.

It's not like modern cars are still using a hand crank to start because someone didn't want to pay a bit more for an ignition key.
