The whole topic is incredibly subjective and at the end of the day I think it's all about acceptable compromise. As I said to a friend recently, I feel like everything about sim racing is juggling compromise, if it wasn't then we would all be racing real cars...
This is a very difficult situation for John, with many pitfalls in trying to buy your way out of this situation.
It can and probably will lead to wasting money, not to mention still having problems.
The system is not ideal but it is very useable, my take would be to find simple solution that yields a more short term positive solution.
So when the future presents itself a more £ orientated approach can take place.
With the help of Rasmus hopefully suggesting an approach.
People run VR which to be honest gives a crap image quality, so could John take
the view of reducing the requirement of system, I have far less loss on my system with 30 online players than 15 AI.
Perhaps making sure that Nvidia control panel is giving the best performance gains, how V -sync is set, ensuring least amount of App’s are in use, how he is using the internet, power requirements of the accessories, no shaders or any of the AC effects, even with a decent system I have all the AC effects off.
I remember I had to do a similar thing a few years ago, was shocked how much I reduced the system load. If memory serves me correctly I managed to find an extra 40 Fps, with no real loss of viewing playability, admittedly some loss of eye candy.
just a thought.
In terms of simracing, VR for me is about creating an illusion that I'm physically @ a race track, sat in a racing car. A monitor can't do that - keep increasing the size of the 1440p monitor & eventually the resolution will start to look like@pattikins ? I know but you would think it was 720 x 1280, apart from the dash board which is passable the rest leaves a lot to be desired.
When I went back to my 1440p monitor the VR made it look like photo quality. ( I love VR, defiantly quicker with it ,especially considering I bought the S for £300 and sold it for £520 )
Absolutely agree about your Intel suggestion a second hand 6600K + MB and second hand 980ti is , if AC is your bag, is a great cheap alternative.
with those two I was able to play with triples at a "reasonably" 144 Hz and a low of 80+ with 23 Ai.
. As far as I'm concerned they serve very different ends and can't quantitively be compared. VR technology has lots of shortcomings, and they are well documented, so I'm surprised that you bought the Oculus Rift S.
G'day chaps, hope you don't mind a polite nudge... it would be great to see you this Weds (tomorrow), if you can make it

Unfortunately I mirror Patrick's sentiments in not enjoying the car or the track and I have already committed to racing at Brands on ACC.G'day chaps, hope you don't mind a polite nudge... it would be great to see you this Weds (tomorrow), if you can make it

Hi mjbtv, it would be a pleasure my friend, and welcome!
Hi mjbtv, it would be a pleasure my friend, and welcome!
1st thing though.... go back to the first & second posts and have a good read, there's links to the rules there and you'll need to show your real name here, on the servers, and on Teamspeak. All the links are there for the info you need, though if you want a hand just come back here and shout.
Have added my full name and will get setup on teamspeak this evening before the race. Best I get some practice in!
Excellent Mathew, and if you get chance try to get a trial run on the practice server to check all's working. And don't concern yourself with speed, just have fun.Thanks for the welcome! Just picked up a budget wheel recently so thought I'd give this a go. I'm by no means the quickest but I try to be as fair and respectful as possible
I'll be on the practice server around 7/7.30 to get some runs in and get a feel for it before we go live. Looking forward to racing with you all.Excellent Mathew, and if you get chance try to get a trial run on the practice server to check all's working. And don't concern yourself with speed, just have fun.
You're a gent Patrick, it would be good if you can, though understand if you can'tI'm not a fan of the car or the track
If you need to make the numbers I'll do it.
- I can't wait to see if the pc problem I had (only when online) is fixed.. Huge thanks to him and so far the difference is truly mind blowing, like watching a film
Great to hear Mathew, I'll try and get there early too.I'll be on the practice server around 7/7.30 to get some runs in and get a feel for it before we go live. Looking forward to racing with you all.
