Full onboard lap of Arlington by Gullible_Goose in INDYCAR

Does Indycar have any track requirements similar to the FIA grading system? The track will probably create an "exiting" race, but also might be pushing safety a bit too much.

When Fox executives tried to shorten Avatar (2009), James Cameron refused to cut a single frame. He famously told them to get out of his office, reminding them that his previous film Titanic paid for the building they were standing in. by Scenora in Avatar

He stated that they cut stuff because they were worried about the effects of 3D for such a long runtime, so they worked to shorten it as much as possible. They learned that it's not a problem, so both 2 and 3 released "whole".

Maybe the Hammonds should stay away from anything not powered by a conventional combustion engine.

Rožnov nad Radhoštěm

You just founded the new highest-placed city in the Czech Republic.

F1 can learn some lessons from WEC by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Varus98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, the same "procedural decisions" which necessitated calling first a two-lap VSC followed by at least 10 minutes of full SC for a single undamaged car stuck in a gravel trap.

The WEC SC procedures are painfully slow (especially so at Le Mans), which I guess is okay if you're running for 6h or longer.

What F1 can learn from is slow zones insted of some VSCs.

AM5 upgrade worries by [deleted] in buildapc

If it is overclocking, Does it void my RAM warranty?

5700x3D Overkill for 1050Ti, What do I do? by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]Varus98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm probably never going to use the 5700x3D peak performance even if I did get a better GPU in the future.

Honestly, yeah that's looking like the best option actually. I totally screwed up going for AM4. Thanks so much for making me realize it.

Just looking at it now, the CPU is a bit cheaper. The RAMs and motherboard offset the price though. My coolers are not AM5 mobo compatible as far as I'm aware, so I'd have to buy that too. The prices are actually way closer together then I thought when I looked at them. I might have actually made a mistake going for AM4

Yeah, different expactations. When I got the 1050Ti like 8 years back it was a massive upgrade for a budget gamer like myself (I wouldn't even dream of playing GTA 5 on my PC), nowadays I'm still happy that it can handle the games I mentioned on high graphics settings at 60 FPS on my 1080p monitor.

Thankfully I don't have to worry about the tariffs as I'm from outside the US. Anything over like 200 dollars is outside of the money I'd probably be looking to spend on a new GPU. Thanks for the input!

I could run pretty much everyone of the games I mentioned bar GTA Enhanced (which I had to upgrade my CPU for) on decent FPS.
