That looks really good ? I really need to get a working phone so I can get pictures of my masterpieces that I make.
-
Well, they are dipping their toes in the dedicated GPU market next year albeit in the low-end. I think if they're successful there, they'll move onto higher-end hardware. -
-
So would I actually. I hope it's successful enough that they end up making GPUs that will compete in the higher-end as well. It's kind of tiring and expensive to only really have nVidia at the top with AMD being a generation behind as far as performance goes in their high-end.

The Forza Motorsport series is probably a good start. It doesn't have the most realistic physics, but they're good enough and it's playable with a controller. You can also try out a demo (built on Forza Motorsport 6) with Forza 6: Apex on PC.

I've actually made a thread for this now https://extremehw.net/forum/gaming/general-ab/943-sim-racing-discussion-thread
-
Rather than making 10+ threads for the individual racing sims, I've decided to create a thread for all of them, both PC and console. This thread is racing simulators including, but not limited to: Assetto Corsa series Automobilista series Dirt series Forza Motorsport series Gran Turismo series iRacing Live For Speed Project CARS series Race series Raceroom rFactor series Personally, I play Assetto Corsa, Forza Motorsport 6 and 7 and iRacing. I used to play Race: WTCC, Race 07, Live For Speed and the entire Gran Turismo series except Sport. I am thinking of picking up a PS4 for Gran Turismo Sport though.

Big three? I know there's AMD and nVidia but as of right now I wouldn't really count Intel. They don't really make anything more powerful than GT 1030 and it's built into their CPUs.

Yiss ? Just a note, if you are a premium member just PM me, Simmons or Axipher on here with your Discord name and number on the forum. This if you don't know what I'm talking about: and we can give you the premium member role.

Just F1 and the "special" WEC races really. With most WEC/IMSA races, I prefer to take part in them digitally on iRacing. Since April my internet has been terrible, just dropping out at random points during the day with no warning and because of the way the iRacing system works, you get penalized for it when you do lose connection so I haven't really been racing in there since May. I've lost a lot of iRating because of my garbage internet connection. It does seem to be fix now though.

What's the rules on spoilers? Put things in spoiler tags until at least 1 week after the race? I almost never watch races live, I always watch them a day or two later.
-
Nice. I'd highly recommend that the first thing you do, is download and install the Transfagarasan Highway mod for Assetto Corsa, get the quickest car you can, select the "downhill" layout of the track and from the start line, just go perfectly straight off the cliff. When you've done that, physically stand up and "get out of the car". It's a lot of fun.
-
Oh no ?
-
Reference or aftermarket? I want to see how well various aftermarket ones do as far as heat and noise go.
-
If you can't get it to align properly the first time, use a bigger hammer.
-
Oh yeah, you can't go wrong either way. Both are very good as long as maxing out games at 4K 60fps+ isn't your goal.
-
Both 5700XT and 5700 run very hot. At least with the stock blower coolers. I don't actually know if the aftermarket coolers have solved this, but the stock cooler isn't good enough. They're reaching 110c which is very, very high considering older AMD cards with the stock cooler would rarely go above 85-90c. AMD do insist that it's safe for these GPUs to get up to that temperature, but still, I'm not sure how well they'd last in the long run. Then again, they could have just changed how they get the temperatures which result in higher readings than previous GPUs.
-
I wouldn't go for AMD at this point TBH. It doesn't seem like they can make good CPUs and GPUs at the same time. Sure, AMD is cheaper than the equivalent nVidia card but it does lack DXR. DXR isn't really essential, but it is nice to have.

[ANANDTECH] AMD Rome Second Generation Benchmarked
Andrew replied to ENTERPRISE's topic in Hardware News
Well I can see why they haven't released it yet. Rome wasn't built in a day upside ? -
Just a thread for Valve Index owners.

Hello. I have RGB as well. Unfortunately, only my mouse and monitors are RGB. I don't have any of that fancy RGB RAM or fans.
-
Is that the new 2020 Civic Type R?
-
That's a big ol' snail.
-
I've noticed just about every tech forum has one of these. Seems there's an overlap with car enthusiasts and tech enthusiasts. I don't have pictures of my cars at the moment, or a camera but I have a 1995 Lexus LS400 and a 2001 Volvo S80.

Well, the original is on sale on Steam at the moment, 75% off until the 2nd of Sept. The second game does look like it's going to be very similar as far as gameplay goes, just expanded massively.
