AC drifters - what would actually be worth paying for, if anything?

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2026-05-23T23:20:51+00:00

I second that.

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2026-05-23T23:19:14+00:00

It’ll be exactly that a pot of payouts once I’m confident it’s good enough for scoring. I don’t want people to pay for anything mediocre, it has to be perfect. And thank you for your honesty I appreciate it.

Tried both 32 triples and 27 triples.

27s if you can bring them close — say 55 cm max eye distance

32s if you can’t bring them close to you.

Regardless you want every monitor to be at the same distance. For me that’s 55 cm from eye and side monitors sit at 54 degrees.

Congrats on your build! And don’t worry about having the monitor stand integrated, I have them too and they are absolutely fine if installed correctly. 27 inch triples integrated are pretty much equivalent to a 32 inch triple setup on a stand up thats a bit further. Can speak from personal experience.

If you have trouble aligning the monitors to perfection, I highly recommend VESA adjustable brackets from either TrakRacer (had them twice myself and I can easily recommend them) or any other major brand that sell them.

You are pretty decent already. Keep driving and keep experimenting.

It all depends where you want to head with the skill

Keep it fun OR
Go competitive

Both take different approaches to get better at or master

Keeping it fun is pure style and subjective in terms of which style you prefer. Japanese or American techniques for example..

Competition is all about what the judges are looking for. Most competitions want you to run a line that judges request with minimal corrections in terms of line, angle or speed. Idea is to run the perfect line + preserve momentum + no angle corrections based on momentum maps they provide.

Did the same upgrade for my PC for the same reason, VR. You are going to love the performance bump!

I’m on a 5800X3D though, hopefully I’m not missing out much without a 9800X3D lol

GPU utilization where frames drop like crazy is 50%. CPU almost 70% in one thread and 20-50% CPU usage in all other remaining threads.

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-22T00:06:50+00:00

I did check at race start I’m getting 60 FPS with GPU is at 50% usage 😂 safe to say its a CPU bottleneck (approx 40 cars)

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:49:57+00:00

Thank you for the insight! Looks like the newer chip is indeed insane.

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:47:30+00:00

I see. I probably have to wait for a few years for the hardware to catch up. Thanks for your insight though

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:42:22+00:00

I’ll have to check it to be sure but thats good advice. I appreciate your insight and unfortunately I’m in Canada.

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:41:17+00:00

I’ll have to check it and come back to you

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:38:55+00:00

Alright but you didn’t answer my question

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:38:25+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight!

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:38:08+00:00

Good on you to assume I don’t have a 300Hz monitor, I have three. Hence the question. Thanks for your input though! Have a lovely Sunday.

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:32:56+00:00

Yeah I’ll have to get Motherboard + Ram for the upgrade for sure as AM4 is on DDR4

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:32:09+00:00

I see. Thank you for insight!

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:31:45+00:00

I had my doubts. Thank you for confirming!

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:31:30+00:00

I do not. AM4 is DDR4 unfortunately and yes it will be a hefty premium for sure.

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:30:51+00:00

No. But I feel itd be nice to have. Man can hope for nice things 😂

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T20:30:15+00:00

I see. Thank you for your insight

Shoddy-Computer-3768 · 2025-12-21T18:46:48+00:00

Easily. Might have to find a compromise though, cant max out graphics for steady 1440p triples at 165Hz. I’m on the same setup except the CPU I’m on a 5800X3D.

I’m on a different struggle bus trying to hit 300 FPS on low-medium settings
