    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I mean it depends. It’s not going to beat a desktop but realistically for most cases a decent 3060/3070 laptop will still play most titles very well indeed.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Is it bad that I'm using a £1200 laptop with a 3060 in it to play a 2004 PS2 game with these graphics?

    Who doesn't love an old Porsche 911

    I love old 911s. Such pretty cars. The fact you have your perfectionist hands on one gives me the heebie jeebies. 'Things I'd love to do: Spend an inordinate amount of money completely nut and bolt restoring a 911'. Sadly I totally lack both the time and money to do so.

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    Big updates in the Custom Shaders Patch Patreon build. Top ticket item is AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution - much like Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling, it renders the game at a lower resolution then upscales it to the display resolution using AI to fill in the missing detail, giving the...

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    They're like rocking horse s**t it seems. I love the DOHC TURBO on one side, and FULL TIME 4WD on the other. Just in case anyone didn't know it was turbooooo.

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    No pics because I was driving, but yesterday I saw an absolute beauty of a Mazda 323 Turbo 4x4, minty mint and in this silver; (Possibly that car actually) Rare homologation special, only 500 built and 10 left on the road. Had to roll down the window and compliment the guy at the lights...

    I don't think there's any difference in the screenshots, but there defo is ingame.

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    Yes, but not the one that appears at the bottom of the screen in replays - you need to use the app which comes up in the sidebar, and use shutter speed for blur (CSP required of course)

    WEC cars

    It's clearly very clever in the aero department and absolutely different, but I'm not sure I'm a fan. Still, with the Hypercar class looking better and better I can't wait to see them racing.

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    I thought it'd be kinda pointless tbh since it's mainly down to what screen you view them on. But I'll try and get some soon. However in the meantime here's a couple from my work laptop.

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    So it turns out that HDR on Assetto Corsa only works in windowed mode.... I've been playing all this time thinking it's in HDR, and it's not. With the new patreon only Sol HDR filter, it's bloody epic.

    Track cars with AC, Talk to me...

    Try it. I’m thinking it’ll mess up the climate control but shouldn’t stop it blowing cold on minimum. From an AC side of things the only temperature in the cabin that it cares about is the temperature of the evaporator to ensure it doesn’t freeze up. worst comes to the worst I think it’s just a...

    You need the PC version, that’s why. I’ve got 3 generations of Megane RS, umpteen different Clios and a Twingo Renaultsport. Oh and an RS.01, and…

    Automotive Stockholm Syndrome - MrsGherkin’s Clio 1.4 16v

    Apparently it was hoovered but that stuff wouldn’t come up. Had it on OBD today, drove a good 20-30 minutes and the hottest it got was 68c, so thermostat it is. Shame it’s one of those bloody integrated housing jobbies though, have to replace the whole lot instead of the thermostat. Still, easy...

    Automotive Stockholm Syndrome - MrsGherkin’s Clio 1.4 16v

    No real pics but recharged the aircon today, now absolutely ice cold even at idle - I was expecting it to be undercharged but it was actually overcharged so I... err... did absolutely nothing. But it's spot on now. Managed to sort the clutch in the car, was a lot easier after I disconnected the...

    Bonsoir mes amies

    Welcome! Sounds like a great fun project. I hillclimb/sprint too and the missus' 1.4 16v is frequently in danger of being fitted with a beam breaker :LOL: The low power classes do look like a lot of fun and consumables cheap too.

    I drive an Audi TT, an MX5 and a Volvo hatchback and I’m still not gay enough to rock a Honda.

    Automotive Stockholm Syndrome - MrsGherkin’s Clio 1.4 16v

    Trick is coating them properly afterwards, tbh. Should be fairly easy to clean up.

    Automotive Stockholm Syndrome - MrsGherkin’s Clio 1.4 16v

    Yup! I’ve just spent the evening fighting with the clutch pedal linkage. Turns out someone fitted the uprated one but only put one of the clips in. The unclipped end is therefore fucked and pops out, but the clipped end is absolutely bloody solid. I can’t get the fucker off, not that there’s...

    Automotive Stockholm Syndrome - MrsGherkin’s Clio 1.4 16v

    So my better half is currently learning to drive, and therefore it’s first car time. What better, then, than a Mk2 Clio? So it’s a 2005 1.4 16V but it’s actually pretty clean. There is like ZERO corrosion underneath, and the engine is absolutely sweet as a nut. It’s even got a sunroof which...

    Durable electronic vernier caliper

    Yup, if you want accuracy you get the mics out. If you want to quickly check stuff then a vernier.

    Durable electronic vernier caliper

    I guess it's because I'm a machinist but I'd always take an analogue jobby over a digital one that will, no matter what you do or buy, eventually end up full of coolant.

    PC / Laptop Geeks Assemble - help for an idiot / me please!

    Yes and no. A Max Q is massively downgraded, and in many cases even a full card is highly power limited, but for £2500 you could definitely get a decently cooled/powered desktop card in a laptop.

    PC / Laptop Geeks Assemble - help for an idiot / me please!

    Definitely PC master race, but the decision between laptop and PC is up to you. 1. as you say, a laptop will not be as nice to game on because touchpad etc, however you could simply buy a keyboard and mouse and have them set up on a USB hub. When you get home, plug the hub and screen in and the...
