[vernal crystal]

there must be something i can do easily

[latent aurora]

Upgrade, yes

[vernal crystal]

but i don't know what i should get

[latent aurora]

Well, what do you have in mind? 😄

AMD / Intel - nVidia / AMD / Intel - Budgetbuild or something more expensive and futureproof?

[agile ermine]

well depends of your budget, but if you're very tight on money just get an used GPU, something like a GTX 1060 or 1660

[vernal crystal]

uhm tbf i don't know what is my pc at the moment. cuz i bought it second hand and its now due to 1.50 that its really laggy

[agile ermine]

well it's written on the screenshot you just sent, so...

[latent aurora]

Well, really anything more modern is already an upgrade fairly said 😅

thats why I am asking

[sterile laurel]

I used a i5-7400 and a 1050Ti on high with 30fps

[latent aurora]

That as example is my machine. Not the super best as in super costy, yet super performant. I can play all my games on Ultra @ 60FPS @ FHD.
I paid round about 1200€ here 4 months ago 🙂

[vernal crystal]

i'll look around on the internet and be back somewhere next week. also gonna ask a few friends if the know some stores in the country

[sterile laurel]

What country?

[vernal crystal]

im a student i don't have that money

[vernal crystal]

nl

[sterile laurel]

ah

lemme try to find you something

[latent aurora]

Understandable - just wanted to mention it 🙂

[sterile laurel]

@vernal crystal How much do you have?

[vernal crystal]

bout 300, maybe 400 next month

[sterile laurel]

You can get a 1050Ti for 60-100

https://www.ebay.nl/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1050Ti&_sacat=0

But for 300-400 you could upgrade

[agile ermine]

don't even bother with a 1050 Ti

[latent aurora]

1050ti is very good and 🙂 had one by myself and I was happy

[sterile laurel]

Its what I used and its cheap

[agile ermine]

you can find a GTX 1660 for 50€

[sterile laurel]

Well.. Its what I use xD

[sterile laurel]

Go find one then

[agile ermine]

https://www.ebay.nl/itm/166888884493?itmmeta=01J3XA9RNHF0YGZW9PHQJN4JDQ&hash=item26db5a490d:g:L-EAAOSwVhBmpKgk my bad, that's a Super

oh, nvm, it's an auction... should've translated the site

so yeah, 100-150 for a 1660 Super

still a far better value than a 1050 ti

there are GTX 1070 at around 100€ as well

you should open your pc to check your power supply model, though, because that might be an issue with a power hungry GPU

[vernal crystal]

I guess this is the power supply

And this is the rest

[latent aurora]

bois running on HDD still 😄

[spiral yew]

that case though 🤢

[latent aurora]

sleepers are kind of fancy 😄

[spiral yew]

you aren't gonna be to install any kind of sleeper into that case

you'll need a sawsall to make that case into a sleeper

[latent aurora]

Yeah, but I like Sleeper builds. doesnt look "powerful" at first glance, but once you open it up, its a powerful machine behind the "old" face

[spiral yew]

there is no way you are getting a 3090 in that case

[agile ermine]

oh, 500W, and is seems you have the necessary cables as well, so it should be fine for any mid-range GPU

oh wait

GPU clearance

[latent aurora]

The right case is the keyword in that case - obviously you need a fitting case in order to do that.

[agile ermine]

thats an issue 😅

[spiral yew]

yea either you chop up the case or buy a new one

[agile ermine]

well a small dual-fan GPU could probably fit in there

you'll need to measure the clearance

[spiral yew]

only one intake fan yea that's not gonna work for modern gpu's

[vernal crystal]

so i need a graphics card? case and if possible ssd

[latent aurora]

yes, at least

but at best a whole new PC to be fair.

[simple citrus]

beast pc

[simple citrus]

not a true sleeper if you didn't have to cut out half the inside

[weary python]

Guys

I need help

Yesterday I tried to reinstall windows from an usb flash drive

I did as the tutorial said

Downloaded the windows files from windows media creation tool

I booted the usb drive into the windows installation menu

I let it install, really quick tho, I’d say it took about 5 minutes

And when it powered back on, it said there was some error in the files and that I need to start the installation process again

Were the files on the usb not downloaded correctly??

Cause it took too fast to install them tho…

[mighty idol]

do you have another pc

[weary python]

Nope

I do have my moms laptop tho

[mighty idol]

then just redo the installation media again

if you can use them

[weary python]

I think hers is broken 😂

But it was a problem from the installation media tool right?

Not that I did anything wrong…

[mighty idol]

okay just in case

have you tried restarting the installation process again?

[weary python]

Or I just should have left it on Windows 11 Home and not Pro

[weary python]

Oh with the same usb not at all

I said if it says it’s broken the 1st time, so the 2nd time is

😂

Honestly I was so happy seeing it boot into windows but it was all a lie

[mighty idol]

then try again just in case

did you remove the usb the first moment it restarts?

[weary python]

I think there’s something wrong with the files on my usb tho.. it took under 5 mins to install

[weary python]

The tutorial said not to just in case

[mighty idol]

that moment they just copying it so that's why it's so fast

[mighty idol]

then do this instead

I scared that when the pc restarts it automatically goes back into the usb and restart the whole process

[weary python]

I think I should wait 11 damn days till my friend is back so he can teach me properly how to install that

[weary python]

Oh

Mine tried to boot into windows

But it was like really laggy when loading

At least I’m detoxifying my brain for a little while

Ain’t no god damn way I’m paying 20 bucks for some man to come over at my house and install windows 11 which is not even activated

The activated one is 10 bucks more

[mighty idol]

so you know it actually restart to the actual drive?

[weary python]

Yeah

It restarted into my ssd that I have installed windows on

I was so mad yesterday when I tried out many different games including Roblox which couldn’t run it at max graphs

[mighty idol]

what's the spec btw

[weary python]

I feel like I wanna buy those boxes with the windows on the usb but over 30 bucks that is crazy

[mighty idol]

just wondering whether it can run w11 or not

[weary python]

Ryzen 5 5500 nvidia rtx 3050 16 gigs of ram

One week ago it could run Roblox at high graphs

[mighty idol]

decent

they should run fine

[weary python]

I have a 250 wd black ssd

With a 1.8tb seagate hdd

The hdd is kinda disappointing tho

I don’t even know how many rpm it has lol

It’s kinda slow on other games that are stocked there

I wanna change that thing too but I dunno which sata 3 ssd is good

1/2tb would be perfect

[mighty idol]

considering ur pc spec, no wonder it's kinda bottleneck

[weary python]

Huh

Is the hdd bottlenecking…

I mean on gta v I can run mostly high graphics at 90/105fps

[mighty idol]

I mean it slowing down the whole pc that everything is soo fast

[weary python]

Euro truck sim somehow eats so many fps now

[weary python]

How

Ohhh

[mighty idol]

need to agree on this

[weary python]

The hard drive?

[mighty idol]

yessir

[weary python]

It eats a lot even on the lowest for some reason when I used to run it at 150 high graphs on single player

[weary python]

I need to find a good sata 3 ssd that doesn’t fail after 3 power outs

When my pc came prebuilt it had some shitty ssd that wasn’t even compatible with the connectors, just glued it

In*

[mighty idol]

alot of the reworked part of the map really heavy on gpu

so yeah in older part of the map it's buttery smooth

[weary python]

Prague 40/50 fps same graphics as before is crazy

I wanna upgrade to a 2k monitor

[mighty idol]

and the moment I entered the reworked graphics it lags as hell

[weary python]

Does that help those jagged edges

[weary python]

Reworked graphics while it kinda looks the same

I see no difference I swear

Those ai cars have ps2 textures, some trees are awful

[dawn peak]

because the textures weren't changed 👀

[weary python]

Speaking of the going east dlc

[weary python]

Wasn’t the engine updated tho or is it the same old one

[mighty idol]

it's the same engine

[dawn peak]

they did bring some updates to it

[weary python]

Oh

Should bring direct x12 on it

[mighty idol]

their engine is too old that I think it's gonna run worse on dx12

in my opinion

idk how their engine works but yeah

it do be like that

[dawn peak]

not if they take advantage of it's features

[keen cave]

my behometh of a pc and its new overly sturdy wood stand it was bending the old desk ti was on pc weighs around 70-80 pounds

[dawn peak]

https://tenor.com/view/omori-aubrey-omori-aubrey-cry-what-gif-24015802

[mighty idol]

[grizzled crow]

its tasty

[simple citrus]

This my big chongus

[kindred narwhal]

absolute beaut, nicely done with this build

[simple citrus]

Thank

[keen cave]

those 120s or 140s?

[simple citrus]

120mm fans

can fit 140 tho

the case came with two 140s in the front

correction, 200mm fans in the front

[keen cave]

mine all 140s

[simple citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/pout-kiss-blowing-a-kiss-suspense-christian-bale-gif-16931550113965916217

they're not too loud?

[keen cave]

nope not loud at all

i run at half speed so like 1200rpm

[simple citrus]

[keen cave]

the ac for my room is louder

[simple citrus]

oh yea way louder

[weary python]

@mighty idol guess what

u were right

the files were corrupt for some reason on my usb

and i reinstalled them

[mighty idol]

hmmm

can't even trust microsoft on their own tool

[weary python]

right

[weary python]

can anyone reccomend me a good 1tb/2tb sata3 ssd?

like not a trash one

[dawn peak]

im keen with kingston

[latent aurora]

I love Samsung / SanDisk SSDs - not really a fan of WD SSDs (but HDDs are )

[sand valley]

SanDisk = WD

I always go Samsung for cheap consumer stuff

if you want a really not trash one though you would invest in SAS

[raw hull]

samsung for cheap?

[dusty raft]

I use kingston💀

Kingston nv2

[gentle bronze]

So I use a AMD A8-7600 for my CPU and an an integrated GPU. Would me purchasing a GTX 1060 be worth it [alongside an extra 8GB of RAM], or would the CPU heavily bottleneck to make no improvements.

[simple citrus]

yes

it'd be an improvement

[gentle bronze]

alr jst making sure

cause i don't want to return and see my game still be low fps cuz my cpu decided to bottleneck

[simple citrus]

[gentle bronze]

altho when i check task manager i tend to see my CPU sit around 50 percent, and my IGPU at like 90+

so i suppose a new card would be good

[simple citrus]

yea

[gentle bronze]

unfortunately dont have

much funds for it lol

[simple citrus]

shame ETS2 doesn't exist on consoles

[gentle bronze]

well i'm not looking for an OP system, just want a budget one thats manageable

[median bramble]

Anyone got any tips to which GPU to upgrade from 1660 ti

[flint egret]

Depends on the rest of the PC

[median bramble]

cpu is 5800

32 gb is ram

2 fans

[flint egret]

And budget?

[gray sparrow]

i have similar specs and i got a rx7600, but i think its too powerful for my cpu. It has many AI features that i believe they are cool tho :p

[gray sparrow]

well, continuing from the general chat, are you buying the samsung laptop? :p

[flint egret]

If I get the new job, yes

[gray sparrow]

what are the specs?

i bought an asus zenbook 14 oled, and now i cant come back to normal displays... If i buy a samsung laptop, it would need to be amoled for sure :P

[flint egret]

[gray sparrow]

me when not available for my region 🥸

[flint egret]

Just google the laptop. Samsung Galaxy Book2 Go

[gray sparrow]

i found it on another place... snapdragon processor i see?

for average things its pretty good

for 650€?

[flint egret]

Yup. Around that price

[gray sparrow]

mmm

i got mine for 650 too on sale, now its more but take a look: https://www.pccomponentes.com/asus-zenbook-14-oled-um3402ya-km513-amd-ryzen-5-7530u-16gb-512gb-ssd-14

[simple citrus]

[gray sparrow]

it comes with no OS but not a problem

[flint egret]

I got a Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED

[gray sparrow]

then it must be similar

[flint egret]

Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050, 16gb of ram

[dawn peak]

i have similar specs on my laptop

but a r7 6800h

[slim sorrel]

Give it to me 😭🫂

although I just get SAS drives instead, endurance of any used ones will be far higher than any new consumer drives

[flint egret]

Hell nah

[raw hull]

Please don't buy QVO garbage, if you want value for money then buy a BX500 or if you really want samsung then go for EVO. Samsung is Reliable? Yes. Cheap? No.

[simple citrus]

yes

Crucial is good

and WD

I start with checking pcpartpicker

my link disappeared

[slim sorrel]

Yes u are 😭🫵🏻

[flint egret]

Nah. It's in use so I'll keep it

[slim sorrel]

That's great 🫂😭

[grizzled crow]

same

runs promods like trash

at least my pc can run it

[fleet hare]

Maybe not for long-term storage but honesty the QVO ain't as bad as people make it out to be. Better than WD blues at least.

[agile ermine]

Biggest issue with the QVO is the lack od DRAM cache... As for the longevity, the average user will probably have a hard time wearing it entirely

If youre getting it first see how much it would cost to build it by buying the pieces separated

Might save u money

[thorny ibex]

Where should I ask about fps / benchmarks for a gpu?

[polar lance]

Here

[thorny ibex]

For anyone that has a rx 6650 xt, how well does it run in populated areas on high graphic settings?

Basically, I'm curious if I should get a 12 GB gpu or would a 8gb gpu be OK for truckersmp at max settings

[grizzled crow]

probs similar to mine, i have the 6750xt

but the game isn't designed to have that many trucks in one area

[thorny ibex]

Meaning?....

[thorny ibex]

Well what type of benchmarks do you get?

[grizzled crow]

i think i get like 10 fps in duisburg

but over 60 everywhere else

[severe sage]

The game engine is not designed for 100+ players, so regardless of what GPU you go for it will struggle.

[thorny ibex]

Ohh hell naaa🤯 I got a 1050ti and also get 10 fps

[grizzled crow]

they need a new game engine

[thorny ibex]

Ohhh! That makes sense

[severe sage]

It's probably an exaggeration

I'd say more 20-25

[thorny ibex]

I may not understand fully but I understand somewhat

Thanks guys

😭 I feel a bit stupid now

[severe sage]

Essentially the game is from 2012 and was never designed to have a MMO part so it's not totally unexpected that it has issues in busy areas, it was just never designed or intended to be used in that way.

[thorny ibex]

Yh yh, I get around that

[severe sage]

If you look in task manager you can also see that ETS2 mainly runs on one CPU core regardless of the amount you have, so you could have a top of the line CPU and GPU and get awful performance

[thorny ibex]

So basically I can get nearly the same fps if I have low settings and high settings in very populated areas 😂

[thorny ibex]

Bit odd, discord just crashed twice once you told me abt the CPU cores 😂💀

Thanks for the help! I am so grateful!

[severe sage]

No problem

[grizzled crow]

think u need a whole new pc smh

[agile ermine]

doesn't really matter, even 4GB of VRAM is perfectly fine for ETS2

you can have all the VRAM you want, it won't stop TMP from running like garbage in extremely populated areas

[thorny ibex]

My pc is ehhh, it still lags bcz discord opens ASAP when windows opens, also got like any desk, Logitech software, it adds up ig

[grizzled crow]

and you have the whole windows 11 thing coming up

[thorny ibex]

But like I got a i5 11400 6 cores, 32 gb 3200 ghz ddr4

[thorny ibex]

Ig, windows 11 still feels wierd, I want to go back to the good old times when Microsoft wasn't putting windows 11 down my throat

New question tho, I've watched countless videos abt gpu, rx 6600 or rx 6650 xt?

[grizzled crow]

11th gen shouldn't lag 💀

[thorny ibex]

Just a tad bit, like my browser takes 2 extra seconds to open 🤯

[grizzled crow]

oof

[gentle bronze]

looked and it ws only around £100 cheaper to build it, and thats without me buying the OS

and im not too advanced with building a pc so wouldn't want to risk it, also the warranty gives an ease to me ig

[obsidian sundial]

you still have to buy the OS btw

the license atleast

@gentle bronze

if u want it cheaper lmk i can show u where to get it for 10 instead of 100

[gentle bronze]

even if it says it comes with windows 11?

istg even if you don't activate it, it's just a watermark

[tidal frigate]

a long time ago i played truckersmp and i connected my brother account to my truckersmp account and now i cant play with my steam truckersmp and i cant remove steam to add my main steam, also i cant create new truckersmp account cuz its says that my steam id is already in use

Oh..

What’s the cheapest best MacBook to get?

[severe sage]

Well it depends, at the moment I think the M2 macbook air is the cheapest which is a decent choice but then the new M3 versions of both the air and regular are also the best price for performance wise.

[lament nimbus]

so guys I have problem with entering. I enter the game and waiting to it join me, but it throws me a fatal error

[fathom walrus]

reinstall truckersmp (or whole game)

[latent aurora]

no

wait for a fix from tmp

[hidden hedge]

Have someone an update on what's happening and how can still 220 people play on sim1?

just spam the play button after "updating"

does it take so long to check #support?

Yea, they fixed it. @timid kayak

[simple bobcat]

Just ordered a GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2 and a 7800X3D

Replacing my intel i5 12400F that got damaged 2 weeks ago

Hoping for a good increase in performance.

[agile ermine]

you won't see the difference unless you have a top of the line gpu fyi

[simple bobcat]

Eh I have a RX 6750 xt so probably not but I shouldn’t have to upgrade those components anytime soon

Only thing I have to upgrade in the future is the GPU and possibly the PSU as well

Not really a top priority though since my GPU has good enough performance for the games I play

[fossil elm]

Is that a good one ?
I bought me the 4090 version ,but i wanna buy a friend this one

Either that above
Or this one

[latent aurora]

Then this. More RAM, open CPU multiplicator, better GPU

[fossil elm]

thx

[agile ermine]

How about something that doesn't have an intel cpu in it if it's mostly for gaming ?

[high basin]

What gpu should i get for ryzen 7 5700x and 650w psu

[fossil elm]

I prefer intel over amd

[agile ermine]

So... Something slower, that requires a crazy amount of cooling, that tends to overvolt itself to death, and without any possible upgrade path ?

Im trying to remain objective, but intel is making it really hard for me

[fossil elm]

I never had those issues in 5 years of using intel.

Overall never had any issues with intel

[agile ermine]

Well we're not 5 years ago anymore

[fossil elm]

Im using intel since 5 years different generations. No issue at all .

[agile ermine]

And now we have 300W chips with high failure rates, on a socket that soon won't be supported anymore

That aren't even faster than AMD chips

[fossil elm]

Everything is working fine for me

[agile ermine]

12th gen was good, 13th gen and 14th gen not so much

[agile ermine]

Might not last if you're using a 13th or 14th gen chip. And the fact that it works doesn't solve the other issues

[fossil elm]

My i9 13900k works fine 🙂

[dawn peak]

you got lucky then

[agile ermine]

Nah, the cpu is just not dead yet, it will fail at some point

[dawn peak]

i heard some can fail straight off the bat

[agile ermine]

That can happen with every chip, and that's normal

What's not is CPUs failing after a year or 2 of heavy use

[fossil elm]

Right the i9 13900k from me is now 2 years soon 3 years and no issue at all.

[agile ermine]

The 13900K was launched at the end of 2022

[simple bobcat]

Waiting for my 7800X3D to arrive. Everything else arrived but without a CPU I can’t start

[severe sage]

Why don't you just build everything except the CPU and cooler

[humble maple]

A BIOS update should be coming soon

that should "fix" the problem

[severe sage]

That will not fix the currently damaged ones though.

[humble maple]

True

[humble maple]

It seems you also got flashbanged by the game

[simple bobcat]

Yeah had the same idea

Installing the RAM and SSD

[simple bobcat]

The beauty

[dawn peak]

[simple bobcat]

Yes yes the all mighty 7800X3D

A real beauty

[simple bobcat]

130 FPS in BeamNG with ultra settings and AI traffic.

Normally I'd get around 40 fps with my i5 12400f

On a more graphic intense map I get around 30 FPS no traffic but ultra graphics
Although the CPU does little work unless u spawn in AI traffic

[dawn peak]

insane

[night egret]

Yall what keyboard should i get? My budget is 100-130

[simple citrus]

something you find fancy

[simple citrus]

do you like big keyboards with numpad, 100% size basically

[night egret]

I have 100% currently, but i like more desk space so 60% maybe the best

[simple citrus]

https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/best/60-percent

one of these perhaps

[night egret]

Alr ty

[polar lance]

https://epomaker.com/products/ajazz-ak820-pro

[latent aurora]

Could ask the same if 100hp are good. In what context? Only 1.6l or a 2.3l TDI? One is bad, one is good.

You dont get it...

It was just an example of your question

Just.. another kind of it

Well, what specs do you have currently

[limpid bane]

any i9 over 12th gen isnt good rn, they have many issues and have 100% failure rate, better get a ryzen 7 or 9

[latent aurora]

Very helpful lol

[limpid bane]

bruh

thats like someone asking you what car you drive and you say a 4 wheel

dont choose the cpu randmly

[latent aurora]

[limpid bane]

what gtx do u have? 1660? 1030? 1080? @sand valley

[latent aurora]

I'll drive a 5 axle truck soon... no more info

[limpid bane]

lmao

[latent aurora]

TI or non-TI?

[limpid bane]

ok thats decent

what motherboard do u have?

and what psu

[latent aurora]

Even more decent

[limpid bane]

ye

might be bottlenecked by the cpu

[lean venture]

can someone please help me with something

[limpid bane]

what cpu model do u have?

[limpid bane]

what do u need

oh its a laptop

[lean venture]

its about convoy session I know this is a TMP discord but i need help

[limpid bane]

just say the problem man

u cant upgrade anything bro xd

maybe the ram or ssd but thats it

how do u expect to change ur cpu on a laptop

bro what?

[lean venture]

can i send you a picture to show you want Im talking about

[limpid bane]

ofc bro just do it already

you cant rebuild a laptop, its not like a pc

bro what

that cpu u said u have is a laptop cpu

bro what

can u send a pic of it?

bruh

is it a laptop or not?

you cant upgrade anything then bro

only the ram maybe

that could help with perf, 8gb is not enough these days

but how were u planning to upgrade from i5 to r7 with the same motherboard even? xd

[agile ermine]

@sand valley whats your exact cpu model ?

[limpid bane]

he said it earlier

#tech message

[agile ermine]

he said nonsense

[limpid bane]

ik

[agile ermine]

the i5 10300HZ isn't a thing

[limpid bane]

maybe he meant hs

clearly he doesnt know anything about pcs

[agile ermine]

not a thing either

ah wait, nevermind, just saw he had a laptop

[limpid bane]

yea

anything with h,u or g is a laptop cpu

iirc

for intel

[agile ermine]

wait, he has a desktop made with laptop parts ? I don't even know anymore

[limpid bane]

yea

prob one of those aliexpress pcs where they throw in a used laptop mobo and call it a pc

[agile ermine]

@sand valley could you install HWinfo and send us a screenshot ?

just to make sure

[limpid bane]

he said hes not at the pc or smth

[agile ermine]

reeeee

[limpid bane]

yup

brother that helps with absolutely nothing

"how much hp does your car have?"
"about the same as a toy car"

@sand valley

r u trolling?

bro u cant be that unknowing

💀

saying i have bad communication skills is true, but bro you said you have a fkin i5 10300HZ

[agile ermine]

there are thousands of different Lenovo computers fyi

just install hwinfo on your computer when you can and post a screenshot, that should tell us everything we need

[simple citrus]

I don't check this channel for half a day and miss all this

[full socket]

Hello

Anyone know of any reliable pc monitors. Around 27" ips and needs a displayport input. Doesnt need fancy refresh rates or any of that stuff. It will just be used for vscode and vmware and android studio

So as long as its color display, ips, 27-30", displayport input. Should be good but i need them to be long lasting

All the monitors in stores around me are just hdmi inputs its annoying af XD

[limpid bane]

where r u from?

[full socket]

UK

[limpid bane]

cant help u then

[full socket]

The stores do sell displayport monitors. But all seem to be out of stock. Not sure why 🤔

[limpid bane]

u could use a cheap hdmi>display port

[full socket]

See i thoight about that. And i got one. And it broke within a week the adapter

And i will need the screens to be working everyday for a job

[agile ermine]

...how ? Does that means there isn't a single monitor available ? Because every recent monitor has a dp input...

[full socket]

In the shops near me yeah no monitors with display port under £350 are in stock

[agile ermine]

What kind of shops are you going to ?

[sand valley]

why is WindowsAppSDK still in such a state

[polar lance]

@full socket my acer 75hz monitor is decent paid £130 a while back

acer b247y

im actually considering another one to replace my current second

[full socket]

Ill take a look ty

Ah its only 24 inch

[polar lance]

i think they have a 27 inch model

i think its the acer b277

picked mine up from argos as it was the only decently priced one at the time

[full socket]

Ty ill take a look

[tropic matrix]

Would any of you know of a reliable app that I can use for a sim box until I can afford one of the fancy ones that works? Currently have simdashboard installed however I'm skeptical on buying the pro version not knowing if it actually works.

[woeful garden]

will upgrading my ram from 8 to 16 help in performance ?

[polar lance]

by a decent amount yeah

also depends on the speed

[agile ermine]

depends how much sticks of ram you have and if the ram is saturated or not

8GB isn't a lot, so you'll most likely benefit from the upgrade

[full socket]

How willing are you to change some code?

I found an app for android that was basically a universal remote that you could use for pc to do key shortcuts. But you need to edit some code to change what boxes say and what key shortcut they refer to

Its 100% free. It looks basic af as its just squares you press but like i say. 100% free

[woeful garden]

ou thanks i just get godly frame drops when i enter crowdy ppl which leads me to crash into other

[agile ermine]

truckersMP is extremely hard to run in very crowded areas... that being said, RAM is probably not your only issue, because a pc that has only 8GB of RAM is most likely not a gaming PC, or a very slow one

[woeful garden]

1650 and a ryzen 5600H

i get around 10-15 fps in crowdy place but its managable but the issue is when i enter like calais or duisburg or a jam area it suddenly drops to 2-3 fps which ends me up crashing or breaking too hard

[agile ermine]

a fairly modern laptop then... so I'd assume you only have a single stick of RAM ? if that's the case, then upgrading should give you a noticeable framerate improvement

though you should make sure your laptop's RAM can be upgraded in the first place

[woeful garden]

yup 1 ddr4 8gb

max goes 64 but itll be overkill for a mid procesor and gpu

[agile ermine]

yeah, you don't need that much

16 is fine

check the specs of the RAM that's in your laptop, and get a stick that has the same specs

[woeful garden]

aight thanks for the info imma try upgrading and see the results

[agile ermine]

you can use HWinfo to find the full specifications of your RAM

speed isn't the only thing that matters

there's the latencies as well

[woeful garden]

ou imma see that i've only used cpu z

[agile ermine]

maybe CPU-Z gives you that info as well

can't remember

[woeful garden]

:)

[tropic matrix]

Ehh not very lol

[full socket]

Ah then no suggestion sadly

Who knows. Maybe ill make a free app for it in future

[full socket]

Nice

[sand valley]

@eternal shell do you know the Alesis andromeda A6 synth?

It have the same name as you. Very funny is it

[limpid bane]

andromeda is a galaxy..

[sand valley]

Yeah, i know, and Alesis ( the manufacturer of some synths) they names the synth above the same name

[humble maple]

The greatest document to exist is RFC 2324

fun fact most plugs in japan dont have grounds

[timber veldt]

Are there any way to get the map expansions/dlc's for free?

[hasty marlin]

Not really no. It has to be through steam

[kind viper]

Anyone know what this connector is

[flint egret]

Looks like a knock-off lighting cable

[timber veldt]

I don't know to be honest.

[simple citrus]

can you show the top and side of the connector

[grave wharf]

im looking to get a wheel for ATS but dont wanna spend a fortune. Any recommendations?

[simple citrus]

[flint egret]

It's a 6 pin lightning cable

[kind viper]

[simple citrus]

goofy ah lightning cable

[dawn peak]

lightning cable from temu 🙏

[kind viper]

I got this thing like 5 years ago or so

Well my sister did

[dawn peak]

[stuck glade]

1700's medieval ahh lighting cable

[gray sparrow]

What case size are you looking for?

[crimson vector]

Does anyone know a good Mini-Tower case? The motherboard is mATX, I wanted to build a small case, because I'm tired of the standard case...

Budget up to 80 euros / 90 dollars

[gray sparrow]

oop

[crimson vector]

xD

[gray sparrow]

look at this one: https://www.deepcool.com/products/Cases/CH160-Portable-High-Airflow-M-ITX-Case/2024/18115.shtml

Ive been watching videos about and one of my friends got it and left me very good impressions

[crimson vector]

I saw it on release in Russia, but the problem is that I have an mATX motherboard, not mITX. That's sad ☹️

😄

[gray sparrow]

ohh well :P

yep

mmm

[agile ermine]

what do you mean by "small case" ? because small form factor cases are exclusively ITX

[crimson vector]

I could of course change the motherboard from mATX to mITX, but with the old generation AM4, but the price for such a mITX is very expensive and it costs about 300 euros. There is no point for me to switch.

[gray sparrow]

i understand

im looking for more cases but all i have written down are ITX size

[crimson vector]

There are cases that are small, but under the mATX format. For example Montech sky one mini

[gray sparrow]

not sure if an ATX motherboard would fit in

[crimson vector]

mini ATX*

[gray sparrow]

still :P

[agile ermine]

there are mATX cases that are bigger than ATX cases as well

so that doesn't really means anything

[gray sparrow]

that one you mentioned seems pretty cool tho

what about this one?

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Carcasa-carcasa-computadora-ventiladores-preinstalados/dp/B0B5TG9BP1/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DYNuMz-AqkI-_WhGhXzHoCdahvwB_fSUUOQ1D_PytempIs4wED49CSTSNJzYQWNlh2CTa1PkDOhXlgNLVQ5vlA.AUv1BeVWo_ghqVebPtPNKUTxR98r03ZSLufHPKgNk0g&dib_tag=se&keywords=montech+sky+one+mini&qid=1723663205&sr=8-2

the price is a little bit over your budget at least in my country

[agile ermine]

theres the lian li 011 mini that might be a bit smaller than the 205m, but it requires a sfx psu

nvm, atx psu compatible

[crimson vector]

I disagree with your opinion, I have for example now a Cougar Duoface RGB case, but that current Montech sky one mini I sold, because the original long video card didn't fit about 2mm into the case.... I re-bought another video card and took a smaller one, but since the case is long sold, again I wanted to find an approximate and more interesting to take, the only thing I found new, I wanted to try this one? Lian Li A3 mATX 🤔

[agile ermine]

that wasn't an opinion but a straight fact

I've owned a mATX case that was bigger than my previous ATX case

and that can often happen

[crimson vector]

The most interesting thing is that they stopped selling SFX power supplies in Russia. I'm shocked now..

[reef nexus]

https://www.amazon.es/ASUS-VG27AQ1A-Monitor-Gaming-Compatible/dp/B08J4D98JB guys what do you think about this monitor, it it good? I might buy it

[agile ermine]

well if you live in russia SFX PSUs are probably not the only thing that's not being sold anymore

[agile ermine]

looks like a solid entry level QHD monitor

[reef nexus]

Ok

[agile ermine]

seems like it suffers from motion blur, though

high pixel response time

[crimson vector]

I generally dreamed of this hull and all to assemble... but it will remain an unrealistic task for me

[agile ermine]

https://www.amazon.es/LG-27GP850-B-2560x1440px-USB-Compatible/dp/B08VS8YG8H?ref_=ast_sto_dp that one might be better

[reef nexus]

Hmm that one looks pretty good

I currently have an old 1440p asus

Isnt the best isnt the worst But i want a new one

[agile ermine]

https://www.amazon.es/LG-MONITOR-27GP850P-B-BEU-Ultra-Gaming/dp/B0BY5ZT628?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 that one is a newer model I believe, seems even better

what's the one you've got rn ?

[reef nexus]

Uhm https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.milanuncios.com%2Fmonitores-de-segunda-mano%2Fmonitor-asus.htm&psig=AOvVaw34DWAd0ngDUrNQenYTlBcD&ust=1723750376795000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCMDzoN-c9YcDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAQ i think its this model

Wait lol

[agile ermine]

"you think" ? isnt it sitting in front of you ?

[reef nexus]

Ye But i dont remember the exact model

[agile ermine]

there should be a sticker in the back with the model number

[solemn jay]

Anyone knows if you can activate rpm led lights on g29 for truckersmp

[dawn peak]

bro asked in every channel he could see

[limpid bane]

im pretty sure you cant, its only supported in a few games, u gotta beg logitech to add support for ets2 ig

(which will never happen, logitech doesnt give a shit about the community)

[limpid bane]

or, you couldve searched that on google, and found https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/39781-how-to-use-the-rpm-leds-built-into-your-g27-g29/ in less than 10 seconds

why would u even want those leds in ets2 tho

[solemn jay]

Just for the looks

Since not many people have it

[limpid bane]

tf

[solemn jay]

?

[limpid bane]

not many ppl have what?

[solemn jay]

The leds activated on pc

[hasty marlin]

Techy people I have a huge problem and need a little help if possible please. I have about 300GB used space on my drive and there is bearly anything on it now. Apart from both ATS and ETS2 and TMP all games were kept on my d: drive, Steam has even been uninstalled and only small files like Trucky app and stuff are on my drive. I have deleted videos, downloads, pictures and nothing has removed anything from the 300GB, even removing barely did anything and I cannot find the problem. Short of a full wipe and install I have no idea how to fix this so good assistance is needed here if anyone can help.

[agile ermine]

Treesize might help you

that's a small useful piece of software that will help you visualize what's using up your storage space

[hasty marlin]

It says it is taken up by 327GB of apps yet there is nothing over 2GB left on the drive and that is only MInecraft

[dawn peak]

try checking with wiztree

[hasty marlin]

Urrrghhhh After weeks of trying to tix it, uninstalling almost everything, deleting files, Treesize found the problem, Thanks @agile ermine. It turned out to be a file for my AV/firewall that was over 200GB and all I had to do was uninstall that

[agile ermine]

why the hell do you need an AV ? just use Windows Defender, unless you paid for an AV...

[hasty marlin]

Also thanks djoh but sorted by then

I use Comodo

[dawn peak]

defender is more than enough tbf

but i have it disabled anyways

[hasty marlin]

Well it's the firewall I use not the AV

Just really annoyed I removed steam and all games, now the long wait while they install again

[grizzled crow]

[grizzled crow]

i had something similar once

[sharp crescent]

Hi guys Im gonna upgrade my pc but I dont know what to do. There is the 3060 12g for ~300€ and the 4060 8gb for the same price. Now I have a 1060 of 3gb and a ryzen 5 3400g. I have been watching benchmarks and that stuff but I still dont know what to do. I will play mostly ets2, ats, what do you recommend me?

[simple citrus]

get the 4060

you'll be set for a couple more years with that GPU

next big upgrade would be the CPU, but that might also need a new motherboard and RAM.

or

upgrade the CPU to a ryzen 7 3800X

those are not that expensive anymore

[sharp crescent]

Ok

Thanks for the help

[sharp crescent]

I've been seen the ryzen 5 5600x

I think that is compatible with my ram

But I will change it in a few months

[sharp crescent]

I haven't seen that one but interesting

The 3800x is a bit expensive for me

My wallet likes more the 3700x

[sharp crescent]

For 150€ it seems like a good option

Idk if its compatible with my ram I'll see later

[agile ermine]

the ryzen 5600-5600X is dirt cheap these days

get that instead

that is, if you want to replace your cpu

[sharp crescent]

I will but in a few months

Right now I'm looking to replace the gpu

[subtle cape]

GPU prices are so broken here, I've been trying to sell my 1080ti for 160 and no offers while it's worth more, 300 for a 3060 is interesting

[keen cave]

those sell for liek a 100euro in netherlands

[subtle cape]

ti?

Cuz it's better than a 3060 so if a 1080ti is 100 you might want to buy them all x)

[keen cave]

they average around 120-180euro prcies changed since i last looked

[subtle cape]

Can't even get 165 franc for it what a joke :(

[keen cave]

https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/computers-en-software/videokaarten/m2148082206-aorus-geforce-gtx-1080ti-11g with the box even for 189euro

[subtle cape]

It's mainly cuz i'm trying to sell it in person but people here have too much money so they would get a build done/buy a newer card

I wish i was joking

[subtle cape]

That's exactly mine xD

[keen cave]

lol

but yeah its also nto really seeling casue its nearly ewaste now days

if you play moderen games atleast

[subtle cape]

It's really not like people who have one don't need it replaced at all yet

I only switched cuz i got a free upgrade

Would have kept it for a year or two more

[keen cave]

like for the new forza motorsport a 1080ti is jsut above min specs

for 30fps

1080p

[subtle cape]

I was getting 70 fps

[keen cave]

in the new forza?

[subtle cape]

Yep

[keen cave]

everythign maxed

[subtle cape]

High and above

It is an amazing GPU tho like

[keen cave]

odd i guess they under sold there own min specs lol

[subtle cape]

I bought it went it came out and it's still so strong

7 years ago

[keen cave]

itys great for low to mid range gaming

[subtle cape]

I was running my flight sim too with it, and everything is on very high+

[keen cave]

and good fro stuff like a htpc or older games

[agile ermine]

well yeah, people aren't buying 7 years old GPUs for that price, especially since it might die in a year or two

[sterile laurel]

I got my 1050Ti for like £200 so

[agile ermine]

Well yeah, but that was back when it was new

[azure quarry]

i have 8gb ddr4 ram, gtx 760 and i5 2500

should i save up for a whole new pc or buy a new part

[polar lance]

Save for a whole new pc, youll be spending more upgrading

[agile ermine]

Well maybe you won't spend more upgrading it

But you won't spend less since everything needs to be upgraded

[polar lance]

The socket is old on his mobo, so that’ll be a new board to start

He’ll be running ddr3 too

Atp id just save and buy a new system

[agile ermine]

Well, new cpu, new mobo, new ram, new cooling system, new psu, maybe a new ssd, and even a new case might be required

[polar lance]

Yep

[simple citrus]

so new pc

[azure quarry]

and how much do i have to spend for 60fps at 1080p?

on good graphics

not max

[dawn peak]

my laptop costed me around $950

[azure quarry]

so a desktop may be a bit less?

[azure quarry]

what specs

[dawn peak]

most definitely

[dawn peak]

r7 6800h, 16gb ddr5, rtx 3050 mobile and 500gb nvme

[azure quarry]

and what settings do you run?

[dawn peak]

default high settings

60+ fps everywhere except congested areas, but that's obvious to have lag

[azure quarry]

ok

[dawn peak]

with medal recording as well

[azure quarry]

thats good

i never had amd cpus or gpus

but everyones saying they're cracked

what are the pros and cons

[dawn peak]

im a fan of amd cpu + nvidia gpu combo

[simple citrus]

the only con with amd gpus is the raytracing performance compared to nvidias gpus

but it's not very noticable, only people who expect high end visuals will see it

[agile ermine]

Biggest con is software issues, you need to be able to do some tinkering

Ray tracing isn't as good but still decent

Amd cpus though, thats the way to go nowadays

[agile ermine]

For ets2 ? You don't need a fast computer for that, a 700€ computer will do a very good job at it

[azure quarry]

yes for ets2

[agile ermine]

If you go in the 900-1000€ range you can get a machine that will be able to run anything at 1080p with ease

[azure quarry]

what is raytracing

is it just

prettier graphics

[agile ermine]

Yeah, realistic reflections and light effects, basically

But not every game supports it

[azure quarry]

so 700 euro pc

what specs would this 700 euro pc have

[agile ermine]

Probably something like a ryzen 5600 with 16Gb of ram and a radeon 7600

Im not sure of the pricing, but something like that should fit in a 700€ budget

[azure quarry]

for those 3 700 right?

[agile ermine]

Less than that, for 700 you should be able to have a complete system

[azure quarry]

motherboard and cooling and everything?

[agile ermine]

But I'd need to check the prices, that can change a lot

[agile ermine]

Yeah, a complete system

[azure quarry]

oh ok cause I don't know if I can salvage anything from my current pc

ok

[agile ermine]

Maybe you can salvage the hard drive

But it might also be a better idea to keep the old pc in running condition, if you want to sell it or keep it as a spare pc just in case

[azure quarry]

I have a 1tb HDD and a 100gb ssd

[agile ermine]

100gb ssd is very small, maybe keep the hdd and buy a 500gb ssd, and leave the other one in the old pc

Or put it in the new pc to have extra ssd storage, idk, do whatever you want

[azure quarry]

yea.... very small

[agile ermine]

You can try to spec a pc on pcpartpicker as well, just don't forget to pick your country

[azure quarry]

oh ok I'll do that

[azure quarry]

so should i just plug in the parts you told me above?

[agile ermine]

Yeah, you could do that, but you can try with other parts as well, to see how much it will cost you

[azure quarry]

but i dont know what parts i need to run ets2 well

[agile ermine]

Keep in mind the website will only show you components that are compatible with the other components you've picked

[azure quarry]

yea

[agile ermine]

Then try with the components I told you to pick, add the rest (case, storage, ram, etc...) to see if that could fit your budget, and then we can help you finetune it

[azure quarry]

okay

[azure quarry]

[agile ermine]

not necessarily, there's a small one included with the cpu, it's not the best but it's good enough

[azure quarry]

ok

[agile ermine]

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/86dVMV im back home so I can make a few changes

[azure quarry]

looks good

[agile ermine]

the main change is the GPU, that one is slower but also way cheaper

[azure quarry]

how will it run ETS2?

the config u sent me

[agile ermine]

the cpu is a bit slower, the ram is cheaper and better, I upgraded the PSU because that's not something you want to cheap on too much, and I picked a cheaper case

that will run ETS2 faaaaar better than what you've got right now

but that's a suggestion for a budget pc, it really depends how much money you're willing to invest in a new pc

ah, I also changed the motherboard, that one has 4 memory slots if you need to upgrade to 32GB of ram one day

[azure quarry]

okay thanks

i think i should save up 1000 euros and then try to find some parts that would work well

im halfway there now

[agile ermine]

with 1k€ you can build a very futureproof pc, the latest AMD cpus will retain the same socket for another 2 or 3 years, so you'll be able to upgrade without replacing too much stuff in a few years

also, there might be discounts on 7000 series ryzen cpus since the 9000 series just came out

[azure quarry]

yea id like something that can last me a while

while waiting for 2k to become more accesible

[rigid apex]

Hi

I want build PC semi gaming
Anyone here use 5600g 8 gb ram without graphics card (no GPU )

[upbeat crypt]

You do need a gpu

[rigid apex]

Really ?

[upbeat crypt]

For gaming yes. Or integrated graphics

[rigid apex]

Yes it has Integrated GPU

5600g CPU with graphics

[latent aurora]

iGPUs are not made for gaming lol

[rigid apex]

Then made for what ?

[latent aurora]

office/bureau stuff

like word/sheets and whatnot, but definitely not gaming lmao

[rigid apex]

Ah okey

What cheaper GPU to run ets2

[latent aurora]

1660 or 1070 as example 🙂

[rigid apex]

Okey

[latent aurora]

if you want to save even more a 1050ti - but I wouldnt go any lower

[rigid apex]

Okey

[agile ermine]

There are iGPUs capable of comfortably running games like ETS2, but you'll find these on higher end amd chips like the ryzen 7 8700G

Otherwise, you'll be looking at GPUs like the Radeon 6600 if you don't want to buy used components

Also, 8GB of ram really isn't a lot anymore

[rigid apex]

Ah okey we will see later

[simple citrus]

[orchid cliff]

5600g is capable of playing some cyber sport titles such as csgo at around 60fps quite well. I do recommend you get 16gb at least as igpus do use a lot especially with Ryazan cpus which on its own almost require 16gb dual channel (so like 2*8)

Minimum ram for gaming in 2024 is 16 gb in my opinion

[orchid cliff]

Ray tracing is nvidias marketing, it really isn’t too impressive anymore. Nowadays the real deal is path tracing. It’s what many expected ray tracing to be. Path tracing is insanely demanding and is implemented in very few games for example cyber punk

[azure quarry]

i dont need ray tracing

[noble dagger]

e

[grizzled crow]

But you can game with them

[bold mica]

My favorite Xbox

[latent aurora]

surely one of the top tiers to game on

[dawn peak]

will it run Roblox?

[latent aurora]

fluidblox purrhaps

[polar lance]

[dawn peak]

[polar lance]

yes yes

[jolly lake]

hey is anyone running a dual monitor setup with one being portrait? been struggling to set it up i dont know if it's possible

[deep hound]

what are you struggling with?

[jolly lake]

basically i have two monitors, both 24" 1920x1080. one is on the right (landscape, main) the other on the left (portrait, 2nd monitor) i followed this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=628485050 but the game looks wonky, with the ui being right in the border of the two monitors i have. i want to set it up in a way that the ui and the main steering is on my main monitor, and on the left shows the left side is just black but when im driving will show the mirror and the passenger seat (if that makes sense). but when i load up the multi mon cfg in the guide my steering wheel is in the border, and its extremely zoomed in too so im not sure what settings to fiddle with 😅

[deep hound]

i dont think it support using a portrait monitor, i read the comments and it seems like that wont work

[jolly lake]

thats unfortunate, tho i do see some people w/ triple monitor setups with two portrait monitors

[deep hound]

might use another method than the one you showed

[polar lance]

They combine all 3 into one using gpu software

[grizzled crow]

💀

[vapid nebula]

does anyone here use facetracknoir on ATS, I cant get the game to detect it

[vernal crystal]

i am getting a new external keyboard for my laptop

[marsh berry]

Fancy

[grizzled crow]

put ur finger in it

[marsh berry]

Lol

[wise hawk]

hey so im trying to setup ats on vr but im having trouble with it can anyone help?

[reef nexus]

Microsoft edge

[south depot]

i want to buy a 7700xt but dont have money for a 1440p monitor is it ok if i use it for 1080p?

[uneven hatch]

I mean you wont get your money worth just make sure the monitor doesnt bottleneck your pc

[south depot]

144 hz is that good enough

because i was looking at benchmarks and the 7700xt on AAA games doesnt really go past 144fps

[agile ermine]

It's fine, you won't be using the full potential of your gpu but you can still upgrade your monitor later

[spiral yew]

A monitor won't bottleneck a pc cause all it does is display a picture and i have 4 of em at 1080p and never had any issues

[uneven hatch]

Kinda does

[south depot]

yh cos u can have a 4090 but a potato 60 hz monitor

[agile ermine]

AAA games tend to be very poorly optimized nowadays, so you won't run any of these at 144Hz in 1440p, but its fine as long as its smooth, very high framerates aren't very useful for these games

You can also buy a used monitor

[spiral yew]

Link me an article or youtube video that proves a monitor can bottle neck a pc cause i wanna see proof

[south depot]

it can

[spiral yew]

Prove it

[uneven hatch]

One sec

[south depot]

becasue your gpu can be making 400fps and you only have a 144hz monitor

thats a bottleneck

its not giving you its full potential

[uneven hatch]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeTMRpkt/

Here you go

[south depot]

yay ztt

[spiral yew]

Ok then show me a monitor that can handle 400fps i'll be waiting

[agile ermine]

Eh, there might be one or two on the market

But nobody needs that unless you're a pro CS player

[uneven hatch]

Youre welcome

[south depot]

thanks

[uneven hatch]

Oh and Alienware 500-Hz-Gaming-Monitor (AW2524H)

[south depot]

why do they make monitor names so stupid

[marsh berry]

That's a old boi

[south depot]

is the 7600xt 16gb good?

[uneven hatch]

Good value no ray tracing if you looking for that (not as good as 4090)

[south depot]

the 4090 costs 10 times more then my current computer

and plus i dont have a nuclear fusion plant in my house to power it

[south depot]

4090 not better than the ryzen 4070xtx

[uneven hatch]

Never said it just if you looking for ray traycing it aint good. But in fps for price its very good

[south depot]

Yh AMD is the go to if your looking for pure performance

but its shit in RT

and you often get more v-ram from amd

[uneven hatch]

Eh vram is not everything rtx 3060 has less but still better then the 3060 ti

Tho newer game could need more vram

[south depot]

yh ik but for example your safe getting a rx7800xt than a rtx4070 because the need for vram at 1440p is getting higher

but the 4070 also is good becuse it has better RT

[shy ravine]

Anyone know any good wheels like the Thrustmaster T248

[uneven hatch]

budget?

[shy ravine]

Well its just gone up to 250 alone for the wheel and pedals and honestly i think I'm going to go with it still

Is what I have in my cart rn

[wraith badger]

I just got my new PC today, and its forcing itself to use intel(r) ethernet controller (3) i225-v, and I want to use internet, or fix the ethernet instead. I really need some help with this

[uneven hatch]

Id rather wait a few days and go with the pxn v10

Its 50 bucks more but comes woth a shifter

https://amzn.eu/d/7tPddXJ

[shy ravine]

Nah I'd rather pay this extra amount

[uneven hatch]

?

[uneven hatch]

The pxn is in my opinion better but ok

[shy ravine]

To much of a racing wheel and looks nothing like what I want

[uneven hatch]

Ig if you realy want a trucking wheel then buy from moza racing

Its just a Bit Expensive

[shy ravine]

No thanks

[agile ermine]

If you can find a T300RS GT it would be better, but it might not fit in your budget

[shy ravine]

Money aint the issue

[agile ermine]

Theres the classic Logitech G29 as well, but the force feedback doesn't feels very good since its gear driven

[shy ravine]

Not a fan of the g29

To much of a racing wheel

[uneven hatch]

But the t248 isnt?

[shy ravine]

T248 looks better aspecially for trucking

I could get the xbox version which is cheaper but I'd never give my money to xbox

[trim moth]

T300 rs gt, you won’t regret

[keen cave]

could be old could be a a few months old depends hwo clsoe to the coean they are i find

[marsh berry]

30 years

[keen cave]

lkiving on the east coast ive seen oen rust out over 1 winter

dont build em like they used to

[limpid bane]

xbox/sony dont get any money from you buying a steering wheel lmao

[shy ravine]

No the point I'd never put any money to anything with an xbox logo on it

[limpid bane]

why 💀

[shy ravine]

Been on ps all my life and despise xbox

[limpid bane]

npc but ok

[shy ravine]

Shush

[limpid bane]

💀

[agile ermine]

Xbox is built into Windows btw

[limpid bane]

lmao true

@shy ravine black ops 3 uses dx11 which is made by microsoft too :)

[shy ravine]

No need for that comment

[limpid bane]

no need for this one either

[shy ravine]

Just starting shit for no reason

[vivid fable]

Can someone help me with wheel support?

[terse tusk]

lmao, yall gaming with all this fancy graphics cards, 3070, 4070, 4090, when im gaming on an office laptop

😎

its a dell inspiron 7300

13.3" display, not to mention, im using a ps4 controller and keyboard with 2 TV tables in front of a chair with no monitors

i literally have the best set up

[limpid bane]

you dont need much for ets

enjoy everything man

ppl flexing their 4060's in chat make me cringe really hard

[simple citrus]

flexing low tier cards is a whole other level of flexing

[agile ermine]

Flexing cards is pointless

[latent aurora]

Oh look, I got a 6090TI Superwater HDI whatnot
