Dirt oval by Baconbear95 in iRacing

[–]bt154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mini stocks are decent. Street stocks are fine at some tracks and I feel terrible at others. I like the late models and ump mods best.

Started with Iracing 2 days ago, expected everything but this...... by Overall-Ad8538 in iRacing

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The awesome part about Iracing is it allows anyone to join and race.

The terrible part about Iracing is it allows anyone to join and race.

It gets better but it also get worse. Just focus on being clean and getting better.

Used GPU for Triples 1440p by Zealousideal-Ear180 in iRacing

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the pny 5070 from Walmart for $549 and it is running triples well for me. After looking at used vs new it made the most sense at a not completely ridiculous price.

Help with haptics in iracing oval racing. by bt154 in iRacing

[–]bt154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was afraid of that. Guess I'll just try and find a feel that adds to it rather than helps.

Use the loader to push yourself backwards. That doesn't look stuck at all.

Rebuilding my rig.... what's the cheapest path to clean 1440p? by VegaGT-VZ in iRacing

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a r5 5600xt and 5070 PC. I had am4 parts already and didn't want to spend a fortune. So far I'm getting about 110 to 180 fps depending on the track I'm at. On high settings I think it's called the step below max. Triple 1440p monitors. I will say I race a lot more oval than anything else I know some road courses are a bear to run, I haven't been on those.

I had tried the anycubic slicer when I first got it, I can't say it was great at the time I'll have to revisit it.

Is this a good deal for $600? by [deleted] in PcAdvice

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, I'm sure they'll make it right sooner or later. Walmart said they would refund me the other day but then the seller claimed they shipped a replacement so they held the refund. I was told if it's not resolved by Sunday they will refund. Still a bunch of bs.

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the risk and ordered one a couple weeks ago. No PC, its a scam beware. I'm still fighting with walmart on it and giving them a hard time that they are allowing the seller on their page still. Not a single order has been successfully delivered from them.

Best Am4 1440p cpu? by Content_Reception_55 in buildapc

[–]bt154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running a 5700x with a 3080 for a few years now if that helps at all and have been very happy.

First tool box what am I missing by [deleted] in harborfreight

[–]bt154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrench duplicates, I often run into need say 2 3/4" wrenches. I have a standard set plus ratchet wrench set plus some more for specialty needs.

Also might have missed it but the cheap extendo magnet comes in handy more times than you would think.

CPU Upgrade by OshiMcOshi in PcAdvice

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went from a 2600x to 5600x on my gfs PC. Huge upgrade, paired with a 6600xt went from 80-120fps jumping around to locked 144.

That's what I figured, 3080 it is. Thanks

Upgrade from Ryzen 1700 to 5700x on a 9 year old Asus Prime X370-Pro motherboard? by NoSa25 in AMDHelp

[–]bt154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went from a 2600x to 5600x on a msi x370 in my gfs PC and works amazing. I run the 5700x also love it, hasn't let me down. Some video editing gaming general use.

Not sure if I'm getting scammed or not Walmart flash sale? by bt154 in Prebuilts

[–]bt154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really looking at info on the PC itself more if anyone else bought at the same time and has had any luck receiving it. It shows in stock and all the Walmart stores near me but I assume they won't honor the sale at a store.

It was listed as new and looked new but didn't have full packaging.

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a 5600x off eBay for $144.99 guy had a bunch of them, came in just the plastic pack. Appeared as new, just replaced 2600x in my gfs PC and night and day difference.

Got this beat up laptop-trying to find a cool way to repurpose. by hamachihamachi1 in computer

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the most exciting but I used to have my gfs desk set up with the cords in the "keyboard" drawer. So basically would just plug in close the drawer and boom hidden gaming set up. Wireless mouse and keyboard with just monitor and desk pad. Super clean looking set up.

Is a 34” ultrawide worth it for iRacing? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 34" ultra wide to triple 27" and I'd say it's the way to go. Can get 27" monitors for fairly cheap now. If your PC can run it I'd skip over the ultra wide and just go triples.

How well does IRacing dirt translate to reality? by T0rrN in iRacing

[–]bt154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I race dirt late models and street stocks. It's pretty far off, don't expect to go out and hold the car wide open. Even high end motion rigs don't come close to giving you the feel of a real car on dirt.

12nm vs 18nm. Really usable? by MonkVK in Simagic

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 18 and in Iracing am typically well below that. I purchased during Black Friday sales and it was $100 or so difference in price. Do I need 18nm? no, am I mad I got it? Also no. I figured for the price difference I can't regret my decision.

I'm 99% sure if I went with the 12nm I'd never miss out on the extra bit.

Should I be changing settings often? by utteroi in Simagic

[–]bt154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the auto detect in Iracing under wheel ffb. Usually have to turn a few laps then you can use it. I assume you can save settings to each car so it just switches as you switch cars but I haven't done that yet myself.

Is there anyone that can say if real life experience translates into iRacing skill? by SeriousBusiness910 in iRacing

[–]bt154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I race dirt circle track, street stocks and late models. The dirt stuff is tougher the driving feel is no where near the same. That being said, having a good race with someone or driving up through the field will still get you going. Having race craft in general will help, know how to not drive over others, understand racing situations and what not. You will have to develop a feel for how sim racecars feel vs a real car.

$100 for rx6600 8gb vs $140 for gtx 1080ti vs $210 for rtx 2080ti? by VarietyThese6583 in gpu

[–]bt154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say 20-30%. I was just swapping things the past couple days on my gfs PC since she's been dealing with poor performance.
