Oh god, did a quick test with the drift BMW... this is indeed heaven. :jawdrop:
Would just want to adjust the steering lock to around 45 degrees, 55 is a bit too nervous even at 900 degs.

Recorded a quick drift video. Pretty pathetic angles though, too worried of running out of steering lock to do anything silly.

Quote from Hyperactive :What I care is that if the game has been ruined by making the prize payouts smaller to "encourage" players to buy those credits.

And that's where the problem is. Rockstar did it with overpricing cars in GTAO, we'll see soon enough will Sony/PD do the same in GT6.

In the good old days we had cheat codes, now there are micro transactions to buy virtual money even in single player games... the corporate greed of modern gaming is cancerous.

Micro transactions in a full price game?

They're both still on the same 22nm fab so there shouldn't be much difference in overclocking or power consumption (both use the shitty quality thermal paste between the heatspreader and the actual silicon die) but Haswell is slightly updated with the AVX2/FMA3 instruction set. Haswell is also on the new socket (1150) which would last you longer if you decided to get a newer CPU for the old motherboard in the future.

Over here the price difference between IB/Haswell is so tiny that you might aswell go with the Haswell, of course if there's several tens of euros on the table that might make the older generation worth it.

Quote from Specht77 :I mean, the 2600k never got to 50% usage even on games launched on 2013, but the GPU is almost always at 100% percentage at any game...

If GPU is always at 100% it sounds like you're not using vsync anywhere.

Quote from Specht77 :I do believe that even if I put a GTX 780ti here, the 2600k will still not use 100% on games...

It doesn't really work that way, single core performance can be significantly faster in newer generations without having to stress the CPU to 100%. Not to mention the TDP efficiency which shows in the electricity bills.

What I'm wondering is why have the people above/previous page bought last gen (Z77/IB) hardware when Z87/Haswell has already been out for quite a while, were they on some massive discount or something?

Quote from Fordman :I am only quoting somebody else's words, not mine.... in an open race server

ANd Matrixi, please point me in the direction of this sim, and please don't say Iracing or RF2. I have personally tried both, and well my opinion is not needed here. AC, doesn't run on my PC so I cannot comment, but a good friend of mine that is a professional driver has already said, FFB and physics are not quiet there yet.

Fordie

AC is what I had in mind. I don't think it exceeds LFS's unique way of delivering precise feedback of what the car is doing, but given how AC is going to have endless content via modding, I'm willing to take that tradeoff gladly as it still feels damn fine and is easily the second best feeling sim out there.

Quote from Fordman :Its been years since an update on LFS and yet no sim has come close to the physics or FFB that LFS has, and still don't.....

There's a certain newcomer title out in the sim scene which makes that statement false if you ask me.

Tech preview suffered from the same low fps = high input lag issue, not an AMD thing.

Haven't noticed it to be as bad with the beta even with vsync on, but vsync off definitely feels more responsive.

Oh for sure, I really hope they'll go for 1440p or 4K as soon as possible.

Quote :That way, developers can build and test their games on the nearly final hardware that users will be playing at launch.

Final hardware = 1080p

Would hardly make any sense to ship another 800p dev kit, now would it?

Quote from Alric :Oculus have said numerous times there won't be a 1080p dev version.

That changed a month ago.

I'm just waiting anxiously for the 1M to be patched in... lighter than M3, I6 turbo, h-pattern and rear wheel drive with LSD.

Switched to linear brake curve too, much much better.

I love how realistic the motion blur makes the replays, almost reality.

I'm having trouble always overshooting in to corners just a tad too fast with the street cars, somehow the brakes just aren't as effective as I expect them to be.

Quote from Bmxtwins :@Matrixi, that DSD quick release cost 40 dollars itself, good try though.

The wheel has quick release (one screw on bottom) built in itself you numpty, that adapter just allows fitting any standard racing car wheel on it. And again, what does quick release matter... on a freaking sim racing wheel? You also forget to mention, that all that Fanaboy gear costs over twice as much as a T500 with a TH8 shifter and the TM wheel also has belt drive. Fanatec pedals are definitely more advanced. That said, there's nothing wrong with the TM pedals either, they're nuclear bunker solid and the pots are high quality.

@OP £350 including the shifter? Then yeah that's good value, go for it. I paid around 300 euros for my set a year ago and I love it.

Quote from kamkorPL :Tinytacohead: you're just a bitter, ignorant hater and troll. Did a drifter steal your girlfriend once or something?

More likely boyfriend, hence the MX5.
