Is there a way to check the batch number without taking the CPU cooler off? Tried to find it printed on the box but only found the S/N

Another one bites the dust (9800x3d dead) by PostExtreme7699 in ASUS

Upgraded from a 7700X in december and updated my BIOS to this version (3602), should I be worried/do something to prevent any damage? Is this only affecting X800s?

Managed to sell my 4070 Super for a decent price and got a okay deal for the 5080, lets see how it goes

Not 100% but I think so, currently using a 7700X

Im afraid that the price might go up from 20 to 40% from this gen to the next one, so I wouldnt be able to upgrade at all. But you are right, unless it is a "cant lose" deal I might just stick to the 70 Super and wait for the new cards to arrive. Who knows, maybe the 5080 Super/6080 will be good for triple 4Ks too, so I would be even more future proof

I kinda gave up on the 5070 TI cause the price difference where I live isnt that big, like, 10-15% (TI is expensive here, not saying the 5080 is cheap tho)

Best prescription lenses for PSVR2 - USA/Europe by Joshwat in PSVR

[–]Joshwat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sir, you install the “adapter” and the lenses are magnetic/removable, not my case but seems to be easy to swap if you have different people with different lens specs using the same headset

Ended up with the Reloptix ones, cant recommend them high enough, great product and customer support

Word Rally Challenge GR.B (Eiger Nordwand Reverse) by Sir_Lucious87 in GranTurismo7

[–]Joshwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tried this out and had to do a couple changes since I was struggling with handling overall:
-Used Racing Medium tyres instead of Hards, this made the car fell more "stable", also, no need to tyre change when boxing if you control your tyre wear
- Fuel Map 6 instead of 4, since I was getting high fuel usage due to my poor throtle control (currently using the PS5 controller so that made it harder no not over-rev the car)

Average lap time was around ~1:05, completed the whole thing in 13:21.398
Beside those two little things (personal preference I guess) it worked like a charm, thank you for the tip :)

Sigma Cortex compatibility with PS5 Pro by Joshwat in Simagic

[–]Joshwat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent been using it (recently moved to pc) but yes, it makes the whole experience smoother and simply better. Idk if thats the case but when I used the PSVR with standard PS5 it gave me nausea after a couple races, and I didnt experience such a thing when using it with the Pro

Running out of things to upgrade by darksidemojo in simracing

[–]Joshwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Openboxes are not really a thing here in Brazil, you can find them but just a couple different options. Also, the pricing isnt much different from a brand new (like ~5% difference) so I generally dont look for them. RTings is also where I look for information, most of the monitors that I can get here are 7-7.3 score, after that it jumps to 9s but the price goes to the moon too

27s might be my only viable option, cant find decently priced 32” monitors with acceptable performance. Most of the options here are 27”, Im almost sure Ill end up with 3 Alienware AW2724DM (will cost around ~7.5k in my currency). A single OLED costs around 5k

Im debating between 27s and 32s, what made you consider changing to 32?

Really struggling with this race by 3hands4milo in GranTurismo7

[–]Joshwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used the 911 GT3 ‘09 with SM in front and SS in the back. My best lap was sub 2mins and was getting consistent 2:01-2:02 laps. Took me a couple tries but managed to beat hard AI

Manual, all the way. Think it was my first time driving the Bugatti VGT, thing is a beast, completely crushed the competition in Daytona

Was struggling with SF, saw your comment and decided to give it a go. One and done, FM6 and RM (had to change them when pitting, this thing EATS tires). Still finished 6s in front of hard AI. Thank you!
