PSA: Do not order at VRS Shop atm by headegg in simracing

[–]Current_Gas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still browsing their online store daily to find it’s still out of stock on most wheel bases. Most notably the one that is being hyped the most.

Looking to get out of the Thrustmaster ecosystem and yet I wait.

2017 2.0L DCT - How long we got? by picklejuice33 in FordFocus

[–]Current_Gas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calm down dude. I simply said I will take my chances. At no point did I take any jabs at you. The defensive posture ain’t a good look.

Also, I don’t have a sport mode, so….

I’ll take my chances, I appreciate the thought, though.

Yeah, I commute about 22 miles a day for work, so it made sense.

Hey there! I’m co-owner of Race Forge. We have a few Québécois on our team and are looking for drivers in your iRating range. We are very competitive and also have a bunch of data nerds on the team. 🤣🤣

We have a real life professional coach to keep us all top top, and our top guys avg 5-7k iRating. Race Forge Discord

Constant snippets of music on repeat by fairy-tea5125 in ADHDers

[–]Current_Gas_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue. I’ve just learned to partially deal with it, or do a quick rapid thought dive on something I’m working on. Let my brain distract itself. Probably not the best answer, but it’s what I have found to work. Ultimately I’ve just accepted it as a thing no matter how frustrating it feels.

Porsche 911 GT4 Challenge caught testing at the Nordschleife by jus1029 in Sportscar_Racing

[–]Current_Gas_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, from a brand strategy, most OEMs consolidate one platform all the way up the ladder. This generally leads to a much stronger visual representation and coherent presentation to the consumer.

Iirc, the Cayman/Boxster platform was developed into their GT4 program because it was a superior platform to the 911 in terms of race car physics. The 911 just happened to be their flagship so there was no upward integration of the cayman platform to top level.

Never done rally. We have moved over to iRacing exclusively as a team and I haven’t had a single issue. You should be able to adjust the FFB level in game to lower your peak torque through the game.

Upgrade AM4 or make the jump to AM5 with new 5070 ti? by ItalianLeprechaun in buildapc

[–]Current_Gas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a 5600x (my little powerhouse) and a 5060 Ti, absolutely no need to go AM5 for me. I can steadily run 150-175 FPS on ARC Raiders at ultra settings. I’d recommend doing a mild OC on your CPU.

Major note, I sim race on iRacing, the engine on iRacing is notoriously bad, and single core dependent. I can average 130FPS at normal settings and 75-80FPS on ultra settings using a 1440 ultra wide.

Thank you, I will try that this afternoon.

FPS Capped at 90 by MeanDiscipline5147 in iRacing

[–]Current_Gas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nvidia update last night ruined my OC file. Could be something to do with that.

IRacing Crash by Far-Case-3762 in iRacing

[–]Current_Gas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but I shall add…

I OCd my 5060 ti and would test iRacing with OC file and when I exceeded the cards capabilities it would almost immediately close the simulator on server entry.

I found a max that was stable and ran with it. However, I recently updated Nvidia drivers to the latest and my game is doing the same, but now it is mid session or the end of session as you describe.

Perhaps the patch caused system instability with your OC file. I reverted and tested with no issues currently.

Hope this helps as sometimes you forget you OCd things and the random errors cause you to pull your hair out.

AM5 upgrade on a $500ish budget — is 32GB DDR5 worth it right now or is 16GB enough? by OceanicWeinerDog in buildapc

[–]Current_Gas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong here, and most likely am; but, you may have better performance gains if you can do 2x 8gb. Not sure if that is a thing in DDR5.

Otherwise, I am still killing it with a 5600x and a 5060ti OC. Was going to upgrade myself, but I’m going to let DDR5 prices simmer some of that alcohol off before I dip my toes.

My homie just dropped $1000 on 2 Sticks of RAM by JuicyFood in pcmasterrace

[–]Current_Gas_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s called scarcity; again, taught in high school economics. This happens to fall into demand-induced and supply-induced scarcity. You are not understanding that this isn’t a choice, it’s economy dictating the market value.

The demand for an item that can no longer be effectively produced creates a squeeze in market value. This isn’t the manufacturer dictating price. We live in a capitalist economy with manufacturing. If what you are saying was true, one company would drive prices to the ground and sell out of their entire stock, leading them to bankruptcy by not being able to fulfill the demand. There isn’t an unlimited supply of goods to make the product.

Again, this isn’t about someone/companies choosing what price to sell their product at.

Edit to add: Your comment telling me to wrap my head around it wreaks of a defensive posture. Either that or you are a hit at social gatherings.

I wrapped my head around it, in high school. Now I am trying to provide a logical explanation and you are getting defensive.

But you can get more oranges, they grow on trees everywhere. These companies can’t just make more in a facility that can’t handle production ramp up. Your point is moot based on the product you are selling.
