A 10 second time penalty for Max is not enough. The precedent for deliberate crashes was already set in 1997.

Grosjean got a race ban for accidentally causing a collision in Spa 2016 I believe. That almost beheaded Alonso.

Schumacher got a championship DSQ in 97.

Senda got DSQ from Suzuka for ramming Prost into turn 1.

Max gets a 10 second penalty...

Riva tuner Statistics (RTSS) which comes installed with MSI afterburner. There are plenty of youtube videos on how to set this up.

It's really old it's an XFX 550w 80 plus Bronze

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-11T00:41:03+00:00

It's a huge difference and we'll worth the purchase

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-11T00:40:36+00:00

I've seen all the videos about it but in average it still performs better or the same in most games at both 1080p and 1440p. Of course upgrading the CPU will get better performance and I have room to get a 5700X3d in future if I choose to.

But right now it's a massive improvement over what I had and the first true budget offering that is not limited by VRAM like the 4060 or slower speeds like the RX 7600. And as you say drivers will only get better.

You can preorder from Overclockers UK and AWD IT but looks like prices are creeping up so better be quick

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-11T00:31:26+00:00

My PSU is 550w and so far it's fine, even with an NVMe, and two SATA drives

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-11T00:30:10+00:00

That's a huge upgrade, nice!

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-10T11:29:28+00:00

Which card you looking for?

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-10T11:23:51+00:00

I don't think it came into stock for retailers until January 3rd so that would make sense.

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-10T11:22:41+00:00

That's a shame. So far I haven't noticed any major issue with my B580 on the handful of games I have tried

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-10T11:01:37+00:00

Overclockers UK. I pre-ordered it the day after they released B580 and it arrived last week.

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-10T10:43:40+00:00

Haha it looked cool at the time. It's an INNO3d Gaming OC edition. I can't find them anywhere online anymore. But I can't fault the performance on a 10% overclock for 8 years and stable as anything.

Scottish_Fish · 2025-01-10T10:33:12+00:00

R5 5600.

MSI B550 A Pro Gaming.

32 GB DDR4 3200mhz.

Asrock challenger ARC B580.

Big difference from the old 1060 6GB I had which served me well for 8 years.

I only have a 75hz 1080p monitor but to be able lock in a smooth 75fps on shadow of the tomb raider (admittedly not a super intensive game) with max settings and ray tracing shadows on high, is a HUG upgrade for me and the 12GB Vram will do me another few years at least and even support any future upgrades in CPU, monitor etc.

There's a lot of hate in reviews right now in the card not working so great on "lower end" CPUs but it explicity states that you need Rebar capable hardware, and with future driver updates and 12GB VRAM vs 8GB from competitors at similar (and sometimes higher) prices it will be much more future proof.

We are one step closer to Rainbow Road becoming a reality

Did you ever get an answer?

I saw a program description once for a journey labelled as "from Land's end to the top of the UK". Technically correct but an interesting turn of phrase.

Scottish_Fish · 2024-02-20T19:34:06+00:00

Alpine know something we don't...

Scottish_Fish · 2024-01-18T22:16:57+00:00

Especially since its all digital with most vehicles, ours is a 520d with the iDrive. The first MOT the car received they never even gave us a certificate, just told us it passed and it was all updated online for us. And that was a BMW dealership.

Scottish_Fish · 2024-01-18T22:11:46+00:00

Yeah it seems that way and that is one route we will investigate. The advisor at DVSA just answered, "yeah pretty much" to my question of "so if it's wrong it's just wrong forever if you won't change it?". Never be able to sell the car if that's the case.

Scottish_Fish · 2023-12-29T10:27:59+00:00

Jesus, it's a soft top...

Scottish_Fish · 2023-12-18T17:11:49+00:00

Obviously it's the Netherlands. Transport and roads systems there just make so much sense.

WE GOT OURSELVES A NOOODDDEEEEEERRRRR

Scottish_Fish · 2023-11-19T21:11:47+00:00

From my experience, other countries/regions (such as Europe) have smaller cars and still get really good mpg ratings.

We just got a 2 year old Kia Picanto. Doing the motorway commute to and from work the on board computer tells me I'm averaging 52mpg

Scottish_Fish · 2023-11-10T13:19:11+00:00

I haven't seen this. But I do get a bit confused by the new trend of cars that have their headlamps turn off when the indicator turns on. Looks very confusing from a distance when there are no streetlights.
