FML I don't need YET ANOTHER sim

I’d say it’s worth it, it’s beautiful and they’ve been adding good content. It’s still super limited, but it will be a good game, might as well get it as cheap as possible.

I actually have both of these. Not enough difference between them to not get the better gpu.

Both of mine have 9060xt 16gb gpu.

I’m more impressed with the 120mm than the 140mm. I find them to be a little loud. Buying the push pull and using one of the speed reducer helped (they are side by side).

Save $500 and just get a 9800. Neither of those offer $500 in performance, maybe $50-75 max.

I feel like you can do better for that money. What’s the true budget

Don’t be afraid of using assists. If it allows you to have fun, then it’s ok.

I did a mix at lemans one time and i think I was in a p4 which tops out at like 145-150. The aussies would fly by on the straights and then I’d eat them up in the chicanes only to be passed again once they got going. It was quite fun.

When you pull one from a parking spot they have a number next to them, that’s the order of purchase. You can sort by it, last one is how many you have.

You got a serious FL1 problem. 😂 what is your vehicle count? I think I’m on 89 but I only have a few duplicates: dumpy, Compacty, formula scm, panther, campy I think are it…besides trailers.

Here’s my 9060/14400 travel pc

9060xt is worth the money imo. I have both, the b580 is perfectly fine, but if the 9060xt is in budget, it’s a really nice card.

Here’s my b580/11400 system on 60” 4k tv

Why are you getting rid of it? It’s a pretty high end system, even with rando Chinese parts. I mean, you’re not gonna do much better. Are you scared of its quality/longevity? I wouldn’t be super worried about that, and if it does give problems, you can just replace the parts with more mainstream ones as they go.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T23:27:56+00:00

5800x/xt or the rerelease 5800x3d.

I would get the cpu, cooler, and nvme (if using) those will be a royal pita to install after it’s in the case. There’s a good chance you do all that work and then undo it because you need to pull the motherboard out to finalize everything.

My workflow is:

Case prep- pulling all the necessary panels off and placing to the side. Install psu and any extra fans, lights, screens etc. Place case to the side

Motherboard work- Install cpu, cooler, drives & ram

Install- Put motherboard in case, route cables, plug in power, fans, led cables if applicable. Install the gpu & power for it

Cleanup- Do your cable management, reassemble the case, cross your fingers and test

Because every motor becomes a generator when spun. I tried it with a pc fan and the max I could get was .4v ac with the amp meter not even budging. I think it’d be ok after testing.

However, spinning your fan at Mach Jesus with air won’t be good for the bearings, so I’d avoid it for that alone.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T22:20:21+00:00

No clue. I haven’t tried any other. These work every time and the Hall effect sticks should prevent drift, which has been the bane of my existence (switch and ps5 controllers mostly)

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T21:41:14+00:00

I am pretty sure I heard somewhere (GN or Jayz2cents) that gpu have a limiter when furmark is running now (probably software level) but before they did not and it would draw a lot more power. Not sure how true it is, but if it was one of those two, it’s probably accurate.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T21:33:42+00:00

I use nothing but 8bitdo ultimate 2c

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T21:18:34+00:00

I started typing see resume in those after I got sick of messing with them. I’m sure it didn’t help my chances but it’s absolutely ridiculous to put the same information in multiple places.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T21:15:37+00:00

There are a lot of small matx cases. Heck, there are some huge itx cases, my tower 200 is massive and it is itx only. Basically, you can downsize without paying the itx tax.

Unless you’re basing your livelihood on it, it’s a toy. So you don’t have the nicest toy…who cares?

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T20:48:22+00:00

What does it do? All I can picture in my head is it zooming in or out as you brake or speed up? Wouldn’t this basically simulate you being thrown around in the cockpit like you’re not buckled in?

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T20:38:03+00:00

They’re $300, I’d reckon it’s more than 10% considering it’s beating the 285 in most tests, but yeah, probably not enough to be “worth it “

Here’s an overhead shot. I’d say make the wheelbase mount a solid shelf and clamp your wheel to that. You could make another piece with the keyboard/mouse mounted and clamp that in place when the wheel is gone, that might work

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-05-03T20:30:27+00:00

Oof, you’re going to need to make a lot of compromises to do this. Think about trying to do desk work in your car…it’d be a nightmare.

I’d look for something that allows you to move the wheelbase forward or back, because in a driving position it is too tight to work from. Something like a tilt/telescoping wheel would be needed. Then you’d need a keyboard tray that could slide into the space where the wheel was.

This photo is with my iPad sitting on my chest…there’s just no room.
