    What's the best driving games these days ?

    I have spent a lot of money on kit, but only practice makes you faster. The extra kit adds immersion, which oddly enough can slow you down. When I got the 3dof motion in VR, the first time I crashed it threw me about quite a lot, which led to me being more careful and ultimately a little...

    Project Cars 2 VR? Is it OK?

    Shameless plug for those who enjoy PC2. If you're interested there is a cross platform Time Trial competition, default setups, random combos. Drive some weird stuff and get to know all the content. League structure, various championships so you're always competing against someone of similar...

    Pimax Vision 8K X

    When I got my 8k and the headtracking was off, their response was “don’t move your head so quickly”. Love the headset, and luckily it’s still going strong, but as above you need to get lucky and not have issues. Edit: software updates seem to have sorted the tracking latency issue

    Star Wars Squadrons

    Enjoying this so far, I just can't fly, I definitely don't have the force and I need to learn the controls properly...I have the Thrustmaster T16000m HOTAS setup and aprt from having too many buttons and controls to remember it's working well. I've only done SP so far, looks nice no bugs that...

    Who's waiting for the 3090 and which brand are you getting?

    I’m most likely going to shell out for a 3090, my Pimax 8k yearns to be fed obscene levels of pixels and I’ve been coping with a 1080ti because I didn’t think the 2080ti was a big enough leap. If an impressive 3080ti drops before I cave and decide to buy then I may reconsider and get that. I’m...

    Low Budget LGA1366 Xeon Overclocking fun

    Yes but you need over 1000 posts sorry as pointed out above. Not very observant of me.

    Low Budget LGA1366 Xeon Overclocking fun

    I've got a Gigabyte X58-UD3r Mobo with a Xeon X5670 that I've recently upgraded and they're sitting doing nothing. The mobo was bought second hand and the ethernet port doesn't work, board is generally not a mint one by any means, not looking for much for them if you can make use of them. My...

    Nvidia 30xx and vr.

    Pimax 8K, my system is 3 years old including a 1080Ti. Prime GPU upgrade moment for me, I'm not in a rush thankfully, but it will be nice to push the limits of the headset at last. Fingers crossed AMD can do something useful and at least cause a bit of price pressure to help me out...I'm just...

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

    I’ll just pootle along with my 1080ti until AMD have released and the dust has settled. Then I’ll pay whatever the best price I can find is for the highest performance card I can afford at the time. I’ll get 2/3 maybe even 5 years out of it and enjoy every minute. It’s cheaper than smoking...

    Sim racing with a 3090?

    I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas, the biggest and fastest GPU around. My Pimax 8K will finally be getting the pixels it craves and I can pump up the quality. I just hope AMD can bring some game and a bit of price competition to the party to save me some moolah. I've had 3 good...

    Mobo, CPU and ram advice

    Hi currently running 2 x58 mobo systems with Xeon x5670 chips @4ghz for my kids. One system runs mostly ok, the other is more unstable using the same bios and oc settings. With the amount of use due to homeschooling I’m thinking about upgrading mobo, cpu and ram on both machines. Don’t really...

    Assetto Corsa OcUK TT Challenge! *Season 3*

    You sir, are a legend. On the other hand it's about bloody time mate. Haven't had much excuse to run in AC lately. This is just the excuse I need...shame Automobilista2 is beta is being released as well. Could be a busy weekend. I also have to clean the mancave and check the rig for loose...

    10 years later still rocking at 4ghz

    My son has my 2012 i7 920/X58-UD3R machine with an X5670 running @ a stable 4ghz...it's a bit of a "Trigger's broom" PC other than case mobo and RAM. I've just this week had to reaseat the CPU cooler with new thermal paste, but it's ticking along nicely again with a 1070Ti from MM @ 1440p...

    FeelVR Direct Drive Wheel, kickstarter in 2018?

    It's official, they've run out of money according to the latest update. The plan is to market and sell pedals at the end of the year to raise money to produce the wheel. Well that's my money down the crapper then! Ah well you live and learn...

    How much do you use yours?

    If I'm gaming 99% of the time it's VR now. However, life is getting in the way and gaming time is a lot less than I would like. I wouldn't use VR for desktop stuff, there is just no point in my opinion.

    PC Performance is dropping, need advice (solved)

    Hello, I've just run 3DMark and compared it to a previous result on the same machine. The results are pretty disappointing to say the least. I need every bit of performance as I'm trying to maximise my VR performance. https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/19892297/fs/16789716# I'm thinking...
