    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    1080Ti's are still a powerhouse of a card. Might be worth looking into the specs of the game itself - some are really quite CPU dependant - the likes of ACC is one for definite that benefits from a beefy CPU. If you go baller-spec - the 2080Ti would easily cope with VR. That said, I've read...

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    VS in my personal experience are total internet scroats. Useless in any form of nurturing what they've bought and letting them die out.

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    Nice - he seemed to run it actually as a business and it seemed a lot more 'professional' with him at the helm. I recall seeing that trip he did over to Japan some years back and reading about it. The magazine was great in the day - used to look forward to that being delivered.

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    It seems like a night & day difference to how it was run years back. DIdn't the founder bloke pack it in/hand it over? Didn't he have an earlier Evo 1 as well?

    World War Z - Free

    Nabbed it yesterday. Wasn't expecting much, but the 10 mins or so that I've tried have been good. Nice alternative to Left 4 Dead.

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    I've been on there since about 2007, I think? Rarely went on in recent years - the place definitely felt 'dead'.

    Console/wheel recommendations

    Got to admit - I love the attention to detail in it. Did a 5-stage historic rally in the Fiat 121 and binned it not long after starting stage 1. Buggered up the nearside front which made turning right tricky, though with each stage, the engine (and gearbox) was getting worse. I spent all my...

    Are you sure you want to do this? :LOL:

    Console/wheel recommendations

    I have done on PC - but as said earlier, I'm not sure how 'friendly' consoles are like for mix & matching. I've got a screenshot that shows how well Assetto Corsa copes with several input devices all being 'on' at the same time.

    Console/wheel recommendations

    If you can stretch to this, I'd recommend it highly. It's actually the newer model of mine that has a 7-gear + Reverse H-pattern, with the optional ability to switch it to sequential if needed. My version is strictly H-pattern only, though I don't mind using the paddle-shift on my G920 for games...

    Console/wheel recommendations

    I suspect so. It will have a driver to download once connected via USB. Again, not really sure about the console side of things. I mentioned the G29 earlier - that's PS4 & PC specific. But you mentioned XBox, so you'd be looking for the G920 instead as that's XBox and PC specific.

    A shame you're not nearby. Shitty virus aside, you'd be more than welcome to have a go with mine.

    Looks like it. Some clever stuff out there and MUCH cheaper than Fanatec, lol...

    Console/wheel recommendations

    Maybe it feels right in the hands of a pro-driver - but to mere mortal gamers, it's not good at all. Not without tweaking the settings a LOT. At first, I thought it might have been me - but two others have tried DIRT Rally 2.0 with the wheel and literally cannot for the life of them drive in a...

    Console/wheel recommendations

    You've picked a difficult game there. DIRT Rally 2.0 for me is absolute dog-turd with a wheel - when using standard settings. If the force feedback was made for American Truck Simulator, it would be far more realistic. It's that far off the mark, that I really don't know what the devs or testing...

    Unimpressed by 182, what do you love about it?

    182's are like the best bacon butty you've ever had in your life. Cheap, accessible - not full of pomp and pretentiousness - but when you're in the mood for one, they just hit the spot. If you're lucky enough to explore what it can do, like on a trip to the Scottish Highlands - it really does...

    Urgently need 3 monitor graphics card

    No worries! Is the above matching your spec though? It has three DisplayPorts, not three HDMI connections.

    Urgently need 3 monitor graphics card

    If you're not striving for current level level tech and want it purely for work, you could do a lot worse than a 1650. I've got a standard 1050 installed in my works PC. Does me fine supporting three monitors, though specifically going for 3x HDMI ports is a limiting factor these days. Do you...

    PC/Console gaming achievements - any that you're particularly proud of?

    I'm nowhere near that commited. But I will detour to get an achievement that I know about.

    Wreckfest

    Bit of a bump on this thread. I've been playing through the career mode and thoroughly enjoying it. The actively encouraged driving style of punting the opposition off the track just doesn't get boring - especially when you manage to time your move and shove them into oncoming traffic and/or a...

    Copart CAT B 197....

    He mentioned something about allocation as well. So say you went to a Ford dealership over here, there would usually be 30+ cars there for you to wander around. Over there, there might be two or three. It seems strange that although the country borders the one where they are manufactured - that...

    Copart CAT B 197....

    One of the guys in the office is from Poland and he's told me in the past just how expensive cars both new and 2nd hand can be over there. In particular, the difference between driving into Germany and buying what you're after from there instead.

    wiper arm removal

    Yeah - they can be a bit tricky - usually the passenger side is the worst of all the connections. Though as mentioned, raising the wiper arm to begin makes it a lot easier - perhaps as it takes some tension off the spindle that the wiper itself fits onto. Make sure the bolts and washers have a...

    PC/Console gaming achievements - any that you're particularly proud of?

    I'm north of 3,000 achievements through Steam now - the majority have been worked for and required a bit of effort. Some are a joke though, requiring little more than launching the game in the first place. Others I haven't a clue how the other gamers have managed to obtain them. A slightly...

    When is it time to call it a day?

    Well mine is on circa 165k and will be going away for several weeks from the 25th March to get mechanical work done. The cost is daft for a 15-year-old Clio - certainly on paper, but I was upfront and honest with myself. First off, I'm the only owner of it - I know exactly what has gone on...
