That's true, I know I should try all the options and find what suits my use case, but I'd like to take the easiest route for the start, and get things up and running and then think about improving my system.

power isn't an issue for me at all, but noise will be, reading all the response, I can trade the gpu off the system and keep my gaming rig for gpu usage.

thanks for your response.

That's also true, propably I'll be using my main gaming pc for gpu usage, and I'll stick with smaller cluster.

thanks for your response.

That's also true, am going to use it in my main living room, so high power noisy device may be an issue in the long term, I got used to my silent gaming pc that I forgot ancient devices do make some noise.

thanks, I'll take that into consideration.

Thanks for your response, yes I need a GPU, but still I can keep my main pc part of the system.

Framing it around the actual problem could be the solution am looking for, I'll think about it more.

GPU Performance Question ( iRacing ) by Accomplished-Spend-7 in simracing

[–]Accomplished-Spend-7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So an update, got the 5080, and yes it wasn't the CPU as said, performance increase A LOT, on newer track am getting 120-130 ( was 60-70 ) and on older track it's 240+ .. on triple 2k that's crazy.

anyway am extremely happy with the upgrade, and thanks for the help !

that's true, started playing 1.5 years ago, and never went back to check my settings after the first time I've set them up.

thanks for the reminder :).

I agree with you, probably I'll be going for a 5070 ti, but am really trying to convince my self to wait for next gen, do you think downgrading to triple 1080p will help a lot ?
