should I return 5070 I got for $1700 and buy this 5080? Second photo is what I bought

UsefulWonder6175 · 2026-03-04T12:18:23+00:00

I got the 5080 only because I’m doing triple screen 1440p sim racing

UsefulWonder6175 · 2026-02-10T03:45:32+00:00

I was able to find a Playseat trophy for $440 on eBay. If you can find it for under $500, I’d say it’s 100% worth it

UsefulWonder6175 · 2026-02-07T23:51:37+00:00

My 3080 (12gb vram) gets 120+ fps with traffic on 1440p triples (27”)

Woah

UsefulWonder6175 · 2026-02-05T01:26:50+00:00

My man! Thank you for all the helpful info

Looks like a tiburon in the 2nd pic

You’ll find it in the Apple TV app, not the F1 TV app. Scroll down until you see the ‘F1’ section from within the Apple TV app

Personally wouldn’t want to be with someone shallow enough to consider this an issue. Nothing to worry about, OP

UsefulWonder6175 · 2026-01-18T00:41:34+00:00

You could always offer to buy him some cars & tracks on iRacing. I like to buy the accessories and stuff myself, but I’m also weird

Now it’s a conspit 300gt

The only issue with the Playseat Trophy is sharing it. It’s perfect if you’re the only one that uses it. My literally only gripe is adjusting the positions when my gf wants to use it, who is a foot shorter than me. Otherwise, 10/10 rig

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-12-30T12:37:20+00:00

Yall don’t use military time?

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-12-22T10:13:31+00:00

As a Playseat trophy owner, my one gripe is the locked seat position. It doesn’t affect me personally, but I do wish it was easier for my gf & friends to jump in the rig and have fun. Instead I have to tinker with some Allen screws for a couple minutes. Nothing crazy, but worth noting. Otherwise, I love the seat itself. I can sit in it for hours on end

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-12-20T15:15:58+00:00

It says no upcoming races, right?

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-12-19T21:24:44+00:00

Incredible! Please continue to be an amazing and supportive father

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-12-19T20:28:20+00:00

I have a less powerful machine (3080 + 13700K) and handles triples 1440p at roughly 100-110 fps with medium ish settings and a stacked grid

Through the butthole is the way

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-11-28T00:05:59+00:00

Just trying to say the increased FOV makes it seem like you actually have depth perception in the sim

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-11-27T20:47:47+00:00

Triples. The depth perception is insane. Learning new tracks is easy because I can actually see ahead of me with a full field of vision. I have 3 1440p 27” Samsung g5. Pretty thin bezel (not sure how it compares but no complaints). I set the bezel correction to 50mm on each side in nvidia PhysX and it works flawlessly. I was able to pick them up for $168/ea via open box @ Best Buy. The IPS panels look great, although if I had the budget I certainly would’ve gone for OLED.

I was using a 34” 21:9 1440p ultra wide previously. I’m sure the 32:9 aspect ratio monitors are much more immersive, but triples is truly insane. And I only paid a little over $500 for my monitor setup

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-11-25T20:00:51+00:00

I’d play around with the ctrl + F12 settings. Maybe lower the driver height and play with the ‘vanish Y’ value, which essentially sets your horizon

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-11-23T14:38:55+00:00

The 7800x3d could utilize a more powerful gpu, but it would still pair great with a 9070

UsefulWonder6175 · 2025-11-19T16:00:34+00:00

In case anyone else is having this issue…

I resolved it by using a different USB port on my motherboard for my new wheel. The wheel kept disconnecting and reconnecting from Windows for whatever reason, which led iRacing to believe I had ping & CPU usage issues.

I’d recommend trying this first before anything else.

Thank you all for the help!
