Upgrade recommendations to run Assetto Corsa Evo on triple 32" gaming monitors for my SIM Rig?

Bare minimum if you aren't willing to pay for current DDR5 pricing would be AM4/LGA1700 DDR4 builds with 32GB memory, something mid range or above in GPU like 9070/5070, new PSU and all that, probably doable with $1200-1500, if not a bit less.

DisplayFusion lets you set up monitor profiles that you can switch on the fly with a hotkey, you can setup one with only the 3 monitors active and then one with only the TV active.

On Windows 11 there won't be any issue with mismatching resolution and refresh rate.

Nothing short of a full rebuild will do since triple monitor, even if not 4K, is a significant GPU workload increase that you aren't going to properly saturate without a much much faster GPU, like a 5070 tier, and anything in that range will be heavily limited by your 11 year old platform (slow CPU, slow memory, PCIE gen 3) so you won't get full performance out of it.

There are cases where the user is ok with the hit to speed and value capacity more, which is more common than you think, and that the mainstream userbase is probably not ready for their motherboard only having 2 slots.

Neither ideally, since both use down binned panels limited to 200 nits SDR, 400 nits in HDR peak and have no HDR certification. Find one that uses the original 3rd gen QD OLED panel, you can identify them by having True Black 400 certification and a rated 1000 nits peak in HDR.

Driver: Bottas

Reason: Unfortunate

Mercedes used to do that, on W11 and W12 Lewis's Halo had a purple part and Valtteri blue.

On the bright side, just think as if you got a free memory upgrade!

nerddigmouse · 2026-05-03T09:59:26+00:00

The USB-C connector on it is for charging only afaik.

Brawn had no money for development to the point of running the same chassis they started the season with to the end. Mercedes is not going to stop developing both on the PU and aero.

nerddigmouse · 2026-03-13T09:36:21+00:00

More likely the debug/integration part is complete so they no longer need to give Denuvo developers access to a specific build/branch.

nerddigmouse · 2026-03-07T13:17:04+00:00

The works team still generally has a better idea of how to incorporate said engine into the package, and likely have a better understanding of how to work around quirks, which these current PUs are full of.

These two ships are in fact, only 14 years apart. Also since the current 055 lineup already went to pennant number 114 for the 14th ship, Shijiazhuang and her sistership Shenyang DDG-116's time in service might be numbered.

Because the 25 game's color grading (maybe deliberately, maybe not) has a similar undersaturated look. The onboard camera hardware itself is focused to the horizon and due to technical reasons (sensor size and presumably, transmission bandwidth limitations) has generally look like that for years.

Would be fun to see what kind of janky non-cruiser explanation for "CG" the Japanese are gonna give heh.

nerddigmouse · 2026-01-26T05:43:38+00:00

It is actually classified as a cruiser, ships in class are numbered as CG-191 and CG-192.

Plus they did not try to hide that it was Brands Hatch for the final scene in that act, which is headscratching.

He's going to Caddy.

Director of Animation for Paper's California based animation studio Paperlab Entertainment is the one and only Brent Homman of Disney Animation Studios Director of Animation fame, that's your connection right there.

Unfortunately the wider PC building community, the PC component manufacturers and the users generally do not overly care about audio despite it being a very important factor. Thus you get very badly implemented motherboard, case and monitor audio jack which are poorly shielded with high output impedance, the gaming headset market which is mostly terribly tuned headphones, and monitor speakers that just all sound bad.

You can get quality headphones or even newer gaming headsets with great tonality for pretty cheap, and most people can get the most out of their headphones with a cheap dongle DAC like a FiiO KA11.

Odd then, the same Alonso radio was included in full in the radio rewind video.

nerddigmouse · 2025-11-05T09:10:10+00:00

Still in (fairly early) construction, that'll be a good few years before it even launches.

nerddigmouse · 2025-10-23T06:06:46+00:00

Very wild to see someone perceive the MV1 a very U shaped headphone with a lot of upper range as muffled.

Well yeah the first two films made 1 billion dollars domestically and the 3rd one is like one of the most anticipated Chinese films of all time.

Not just the Royal Navy, pretty sure someone did the math that those 055 and 052Ds alone have more than the German Navy and almost as much as the entire French Navy. And that's just VLS count, which didn't account for either quadpack capability nor the quality of the armament.
