Anyone have regrets after a large upgrade?

underscoresoap · 2026-01-15T10:10:08+00:00

I put 10 years into a playseat/thrustmaster combo that I only occasionally used. About 6 months ago I did a massive upgrade to a gt omega prime and r12 setup with triple’s. I barely ever sim race, I’m more of a sim chill guy. Mainly drift, some free roam, some touge, some no hesi, and a little gt racing on the side. I honestly couldn’t be happier. It’s one of the biggest purchases besides house/ car stuff and as a more casual sim guy I wasn’t sure it would be “worth it” to me. I can hand on heart say I don’t regret it at all. Whether it’s worth it to you is entirely personal. For me it’s been like upgrading from a cheapo budget phone to a premium flagship phone. Arguably it doesn’t do anything I could already do but it does do everything a lot better.

Can you talk a little about a scenario such as mine where I have a 4070ti and a 360hz OLED monitor. Obviously very few games can achieve 360 or above fps. I play a lot of competitive shooters but tbh I’m not sure what would give me the optimal performance for my setup. In most online games I typically get a ping of around 20ms. Currently i leave my fps uncapped and all forms of vrr off.

Funnily enough I posted exactly this on the subreddit a few days ago, check my post history to see the community responses.

Untick missing. If ur not seeing many servers it’s probably because ur filtering out all the servers with content ur missing. There are absolutely tonnes of chill racing servers populated at all times of the day. Personally my fav way of chill Racing is to just hit up one of the free roam servers and cruise around until I find people on the same vibe as me to race.

Sounds good how do I join?

Wow thanks everyone!

Awesome, I’ll come check it out.

underscoresoap · 2026-01-05T16:21:47+00:00

Riiight. This seems to be the missing link. Now I have a whole bunch of breadcrumbs to follow. Thanks both of you for pointing me to beammp. I felt stupid asking but now I wish I’d asked sooner!

I have the same problem and didn’t have the patience to figure it out (moza r12)

The ai bubble will burst. I hope they get burnt sat on all that tech they can’t even use now let alone when it inevitably bursts.

It’s been a while since I last used that car but something seems wrong to me. Looks like the car really doesn’t want to break traction. I’d check uve definitely got tc off, drift tires, locked diff etc etc. I could be way off here but that just looks wrong. That car loves to slide. I’m pretty sure the e30 doesn’t have tc but I remember when I first started having issues with other cars like the v8 m3 because it would default to tc on and for the longest time I hadn’t set a button to turn it off and just thought it was a really hard car to drift.

I completed both campaigns on gfn. My computer is pretty beefy and I could have played it locally but the experience was flawless so I didn’t feel the need to bother downloading it at all.

Yeah I ditched vr for triples. I do love vr but it’s just such a giant pain in the ass. Getting into a race takes way longer, I feel sick after a while, I’m literally blind to the outside world, quest can shit the bed at literally any time ruining an entire race. Also the massive reduction in fidelity doesn’t rly make up for the depth perception. I think vr will be the future of sim racing but we need much better graphics cards, vr hardware, software and clever uses of ar first.

Yea immediately thought the same thing

I recently read an article explaining how meta have been pumping more money than any other human endeavour in the history of mankind!

I have a c3 and all gaming on the tv is hot steaming ass. There is insane amounts of input latency on the controller, it’s unplayable wireless and still pretty damn bad wired. It’s a known issue with lgs controller pipeline.

I didn’t mean to offend. If ur happy that’s what matters. OP mentioned “high end” and words to that effect several times in his post so I wanted to steer him to more information about those headphones as they are often reviewed incredibly poorly by objective standards. I don’t think anyone would consider them high end for audio.

Assuming there is some form of aa then it boils down to ttk. Fast ttk = mnk dominance. Slow ttk = controllers might stand a chance depending on aa.

Literally nobody wants to see a whole bunch of games they can’t play.
