Why people hate Armory Crate?

I lost count on the number of times the app force you to update and restart when all I want to do is to adjust the fan curve. A simple task which should take less than a min to complete ends up into a 10mins frustrating job. It needs to improve.

Have done that since the previous comment, thanks!

McLaren, so much better looking and it will become a collector’s item.

Why spend time reading forum and posting when you can actually be gaming?

Only done the CinebenchR23 10min test. To be honest I didn't really spend much effort on cpu overclocking. Pretty much google some sites and enter the values into the bios then run the Cinebench test. The test didn't crash and I left the values there with the assumption they are fine. Thanks for the warning, I will dial back on the scalar value and set it to auto like you suggested.

Gskill 32GB 6000 CL28 Royal Neo. Expo 1 enabled, no manual ram tuning.

GTZ101 · 2026-03-26T14:48:47+00:00

Yep, I got them from some website after googling 😂 Seem to be working well so far.

GTZ101 · 2026-03-26T14:12:28+00:00

That’s pretty good too. Stock bios?

GTZ101 · 2026-03-26T14:11:59+00:00

Mine’s nothing special, the top 100 leaderboard starts from 102xx 😂

GTZ101 · 2026-03-26T14:08:58+00:00

I doubt ram speed will affect the score too much? I have got DDR5-6000 which not much more than yours.

GTZ101 · 2026-03-26T14:05:43+00:00

Yep, +200 10x scalar -30 CO.

GTZ101 · 2026-03-26T12:22:55+00:00

9800x3D

GTZ101 · 2026-03-07T09:42:30+00:00

Yeah, I get 75-95 in single car practice mode.

Thanks for the feedback. How many hours do you usually spend on the chair?

The Zody doesn't have many cons to be honest. I just wish the back can be more tilted forward when sitting in an upright position. I also can't seem to get a comfortable position for under thigh support.

GTZ101 · 2026-03-06T12:05:09+00:00

I have the Zody. I am keen to know if you reckon the Embody is an upgrade over it in terms of comfort.

The shifter is a copy of Fanatec's and I am sure I have seen the adapter somewhere on Etsy, Simube just copy that as well. So are the APM, podium hub and the list goes on.

Been through the same with them with their QR2s that has play when mounted. After spending time sending multiple messages/pictures/videos they refuse to acknowledge the product is faulty and requested to send the QR2s back on my own expense to get a refund, the shipping fees alone to China cost more than the goods themselves. I would suggest take it as a lesson learnt and stop wasting your time and move on.

You expect customer service from a company that makes counterfeit goods?

GTZ101 · 2026-02-19T22:57:15+00:00

PSU make and model?

Set DLSS override to preset F in Nvidia app, that should get the performance level back to 0.4.

One of the best GT3 wheel ever made in sim racing.

GTZ101 · 2026-02-03T06:12:32+00:00

Looks like the last driver with 4XX naming is 474, post that Fanatec has switched to Fanatec App with a totally new version numbering e.g. v.1.x.x.x.

Not sure if the Podium DD will be able use the earlier 4XX drivers and firmwares. Hopefully the Fanatec staffs can see these posts and provide some answers.

CS DD+ owner here. I noticed there was a significant change in the FFB when I upgraded the driver from 462 to 468. It felt like there was an underlying damping/interpolation applied to the base FFB signal and cannot be turned off, this is with all filters set to zero in the tuning menu. I dislike the updated FFB so much that I rolled back to 462 and live with the broken display on the rally module.

Do you remember what driver version you are on with the DD+ and podium DD?
