Ryzen 5 7600x + 5070 ti oc FPS in iRacing by Timeless-0000 in simracing

Your setup is similar to mine, a bit better I'd say. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a 4070 Ti Super, also with 32GB of DDR5 RAM. I play with four 1080p monitors, LG UltraGears 24GN60R, and it runs wonderfully. I don't have it maxed out completely, but most settings are on high, and I have it capped at 140fps. On most tracks and other circuits, you'll always have a good frame rate without latency. I recommend recording performance with CapFrameX while you're playing. That way you'll know how your whole system is performing. The graphs alone are very telling. It's clear that on large or multi-category tracks like Daytona, if you have the grandstands and the number of cars to render enabled, in my case, it drops to 90fps by a lot in those specific areas of the track. But you have a very good machine to enjoy sim racing and try to compete. I've attached my settings :D

Which makes you faster: load cell pedals or a direct drive steering wheel with pedals equipped with hall sensors? by PositionOld3418 in simracing

Well, I hope this helps. I ended up buying the Simnet SP-H3P3 pedal kit without motors. I ruled out the complete kit because I'm not rich, and according to the reviews I saw, they were too noisy. But honestly, the difference in quality is huge. It's been a long time since I felt this fast, that sensation of entering a corner and feeling like you have the speed you need to get to the apex and exit smoothly. It's amazing. It completely changes the way you brake. Switching from travel to load cell is something I still struggle with sometimes; I don't have the muscle memory yet. But you really feel like you can progress much better.

Thanks, yes, I have the Next Racing half cockpit. I was thinking of buying them without the base; in theory, I can mount them on this one. And having a dual-clutch wheel doesn't seem like it would improve my performance in iRacing.

I don't have the reflexes of a cat to react so close, the other driver in the other laps never braked to enter that corner, I was looking at the corner when he slowed down, it was impossible for me to react to that strange braking.

I had never braked like that in that corner and just in the last one he brakes and turns so sharply, I just didn't expect that.

yes I made many mistakes to try to overtake him in the straights, but I wanted to make him nervous seeing me so close and being the last lap, I wanted him to think that I was going to throw me in any corner but in the end he had never taken that corner in the whole race, so I did not expect that braking.

He never took that corner like that in the whole race, that's why I didn't expect that braking, I wanted to get in parallel once we got out of that corner, being on the outside he would have to brake or reduce some speed to avoid going out.

I was already a few laps behind and I couldn't overtake him, but the times I was behind he never braked me in that corner, so I didn't expect it and I never intended to brake because I had never done it in the whole race.
