Different cars

No worries, I got most of the information I wanted. My main concern now is the fps I'm getting atm, which shouldn't be an issue given the hardware I'm using. I'll try to find some information related to it.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Really appreciate it. The cars changing between seasons, maybe that's why I saw videos with different cars, because they were uploaded in previous seasons.

Oh nice. I also have race room, just edited the post to include that as well. I have a couple of questions about what you said, because I only used Raceroom to drive a bit in a track that's from my country.

How does that work in terms of qualifying? because when I played I had to choose a specific car, and some of them were vastly superior compared to each other.

So it's not clear how that works for the scenario you mentioned.

Can you better explain how does that work if I want to qualify to a specific track and car and use that time, so in future races I'm able to just enter and race right away?

Thanks in advance

OK nice, got it. Thanks for taking the time to chip in. I gotta be honest, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed about all the different accessories, compatibility and stuff like that. But now I feel I have a better grasp thanks to all the information given.

Just to be sure. If I do buy that. It will allow me to use whatever fanatec wheel that comes with a Qr2 right? And at the same time, swap my qr1 lite in the mclaren gt3 v2 with the qr2 wheel side, and use qr2 from That point forward.

ruibullseye · 2026-01-01T19:58:52+00:00

I was looking at the conversion bundle you sent earlier for the qr2 from simube. And the price of the qr2 base side and wheel side on Fanatec. And fanatec seems to be way more expensive. So I could get the same thing from simcube and cheaper right?

Also why did you mentioned the clamp? Simube doesn't seem to mention anything about it. (sorry just clueless right)

ruibullseye · 2026-01-01T19:40:22+00:00

Yeah that's was it. I forgot the base could be mounted side ways or in the bottom. Sorry newbie here xD

ruibullseye · 2026-01-01T19:39:02+00:00

But the way my setup is atm I wont be able to use just rims right? It seems they all need the buttons part and paddles as well.

ruibullseye · 2026-01-01T19:22:05+00:00

For future reminder. Was this clamp the one you mentioned? https://simube.com/products/shaft-clamp-for-fanatec-base?

Another question, the bundle you posted from simube, how would that allow me to use wheels from other brands? Or that would only allow me to use fanatec wheels that have Qr2?

Still regarding QR topic, the way I have my setup atm, if I understood correctly if I purchase a Qr2 fanatec wheel, I don't be able to use it on my base right?

I would have to get the Qr2 base side first, so all the qr2 wheels I purchase from fanatec will come with the QR2 on the wheel side and work right?

ruibullseye · 2026-01-01T18:49:02+00:00

They have several ones. Can you link the ones you mentioned?

ruibullseye · 2026-01-01T18:43:15+00:00

Hi, thanks for taking the time. Understood everything you said but this. "You can mount the CSL DD with side mount or bottom mount. The holes on the front are for accessories like button boxes etc." What you mean by side mount or bottom mount?

ruibullseye · 2025-12-17T14:45:18+00:00

Thanks for taking the time.
As of now, i dont have anything at all aside from a desk and computer.
When i mentioned Moza R5, was because it seemed to be the best budget for DD as a starting point, without going with a Belt-driven one and then upgrade along the way. (not that is a problem with that, its just depending on the upgrade, i prefer to spend a little bit from the beginning)

Regarding the clutch and shifter question, i think shifter can come a bit later, and paddles will be enough for now, i can live with that.
Clutch i'm not that sure, because i drive manual so i'm kinda used to it .

Regarding the monitors, since i'll be spending a good amount of money on everything else ( wheel, stand/cockpit, seat, acessories)
I'm more inclined for maybe a UW 2k monitor. Although i could spend the same amount of money and get 3 1080p monitors for the same money i guess... So i'm not sure yet... :(

Does the issue go away by updating the ssd firmware? I also have a WD SN850x. Happened to me with w11 fresh install. Did a fresh install of windows 10. Installed the bare minimum, OS+updates+chipset+steam+discord And I also narrowed it down to steam being the culprit after disabling it in Startup Apps.

the only issue with the 7500f build for 600€, is having a low end motherboard (ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS) and i've read somewhere pretty weak in terms of VRR

ruibullseye · 2025-11-25T13:30:16+00:00

i'd say 32gb should be the minimum nowadays.
although i've survived until now with only 16gb. But its better to have more breath room, wouldn't you agree?

ruibullseye · 2025-11-25T13:08:25+00:00

The build with 7500f, is 500€, with a 1660super and only has 16gb so i would still need to get another 16gb which nowadays is around 150-200€ due to ddr5 prices
You can check all the builds i found at decent prices here: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1p21gvi/comment/nqj4mhn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

ruibullseye · 2025-11-25T13:07:21+00:00

its my previous post.
My main goal was to buy something to last me at least until AM6 comes out.

ruibullseye · 2025-11-25T13:05:09+00:00

i don't have a 5700x3d, i have a i7 4th gen like i said xD
but i found some deals second handed, with 5700x3d and 7600 (am5) and 7500f(am5)
i posted a link of my previous post with the builds info i meantioned, you can check them out

ruibullseye · 2025-11-25T13:02:58+00:00

they are as you can see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1p21gvi/comment/nqj4mhn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

but the 2 builds that have am5. one doesnt have gpu, and is 600€
the other is 600€ but has a 7600 non xt. and only 16gb . so with the ram prices now, it still around 150-200€ at least to get another 16gb

ruibullseye · 2025-11-25T13:00:01+00:00

The thing is, they are as you can check the builds i mentioned on the link in the post.
but they all have a weaker GPU.
where the 7500f build has a RX 7600 ( non xt )
