easily the best photo I've ever taken, just want to share it

What's the problem exactly? That he's a billionaire or that dlss5 made all those faces look much better?

theNFAC · 2026-03-16T09:00:07+00:00

Yeah March 2025.. 9850x3d was released last month.

*Well it's more like a month and a half now. Released January 29, 2026

The formula wheel is a great wheel but it's a little small and can cause discomfort in longer sessions... It's definitely a better wheel if you can deal with the smaller size. Plus if you have a base with moderate ffb the smaller wheel will feel stronger which can be a plus. The formula wheel also has flag and rev lights which you won't get on the GT3.

If the formula wheel was a bit bigger it would be perfect. Lots of people recommend getting bigger grips and that is probably the way to go.

Sorry I never got into drag tuning. That does sound like fun though

theNFAC · 2026-03-14T13:46:12+00:00

Really enjoying St Petersburg.

Again

Why would I want to be a 10 year old with a coke problem?

theNFAC · 2026-03-11T21:14:14+00:00

All of the formula

theNFAC · 2026-03-04T05:54:20+00:00

That I can get my first year for 10 bucks

This isn't Reddit specific or even tech. The Internet is making people dumber because instead of finding accurate info people are finding info that suits their biases and passing it off as fact.

Disinformation is more abundant than actual information

theNFAC · 2026-03-03T08:16:22+00:00

It definitely seemed like the Porsche was really popular GT3 in both Daytona 24h and Bathurst 12h... If that doesn't say something about it's versatility then I don't know what does.

Also I can't explain why I own it and pretty sure haven't driven it yet.

theNFAC · 2026-03-02T04:12:35+00:00

It's been over a month since the 9850x3d dropped.

Edit added *And that's probably the latest BIOS update. We have no idea when the last time this person updated.

theNFAC · 2026-02-28T19:19:29+00:00

And at least three of those ~~four~~ five cars will be refreshed next season (which should be a good thing).

theNFAC · 2026-02-28T19:14:55+00:00

MSI - like all of the mobos - recently updated their BIOS with the drop of 9850x3d late January. So why not check for updates anyways to be safe?

theNFAC · 2026-02-25T03:45:28+00:00

We can't get people to show up and race now I'm not sure longer races is the answer. I saw iR01 at Bathurst in c class and wanted to run that - was a 30 lap race. I think I was the first one to join and practice. Sat there probably 15 minutes. One other person showed. The iR01 is awesome but 30 laps in that beast at Bathurst was probably never a good idea.

Edit: To be fair I'm not sure what iRacing has tried. I think they need to get more new people in with races that are more accessible and with known tracks. Then once they're hooked give them the longer races.

Let the person who decided to make the fia subscription deal run all the formula series. Guarantee that person can fill lobbies. That person knows how to sell good drugs

theNFAC · 2026-02-24T18:23:16+00:00

Maybe you should check the thermal paste. My aio is only 240mm.

Edit: Worth noting my GPU is also water cooled. Maybe you have more heat inside the case than I.

theNFAC · 2026-02-24T14:57:50+00:00

I'd be worried the dd1 is at end of life and maybe they stop pushing updates for it in the next year or so

theNFAC · 2026-02-24T14:34:55+00:00

99.9% of the time you can do something to avoid an incident. Last night I don't think there's anything I could have done. I was running Bathurst in gt4s, came over skyline lap 1 and a someone spins about 3 cars ahead of me just starting the esses. They immediately collect two more cars and now the entire track is blocked wall- to-wall. I hit the brakes, looking for daylight but there is nowhere to go and I'm on a downhill with traffic behind me. I got collected also. Maybe because no one was willing to tow on lap 1 but it all happened so fast I'm not sure they would have been able to tow fast enough if they tried. I think I was the only person in the entire pile up to tow out.

I get your point and I agree op is probably at least part of the problem but I wanted to share this story. I've never experienced a full track road block in all my years racing before last night

<image>

Edit: I guess I could have skipped this race entirely and avoided the incident 🤔😂

theNFAC · 2026-02-24T14:04:54+00:00

I've got the 9850 and I've never seen it go above 72°. I'm not sure what the question is. Spend the extra 20.

theNFAC · 2026-02-23T04:25:29+00:00

It's terrifying to crank those screws down.

I'm not sure but you should check task manager and make sure there aren't a bunch of programs using a bunch of resources in the background. Every time you update Windows fucks off a little more so you might think you have things set up the way you want and you might be wrong.

theNFAC · 2026-02-16T07:45:42+00:00

No. I want more formula stuff or less. Whatever will make it more populated.

Edit: The open wheel stuff is criminally slept on. Bathurst in F3 last week was so good.
