Any PC Gamers Around?

Same here. I played GoW when it first came out. Somehow it feels different, almost feels like I'm playing it for the very first time. I didn't get to fully enjoy the scenery and gameplay on a PS4. It hits different at 140+FPS on Ultra Quality.



Switching over to PC, as pricey as I have made it so far, has been one of the best financial move I've ever made. I'm sure the boss lady would beg to differ, but she doesn't seem to mind when she's ripping through gears on A.C

I built my PC with top components in 2016, it's still good for the majority of new games. But to truly enjoy GT7 I'd want to run it with maxed out settings, so my PC wouldn't handle it. With prices on GPUs these days, I'd rather get a PS5, lol.
Also, I don't think it's going to be released on PC anytime soon.

You wouldn't be wrong on buying a PS5 to play GT7. Another thing is actually getting your hands on one. One thing to consider is that Sony announced a scale back on PS5 production. So this move could benefit PC players in the sense that both Polyphony and Sony could possible be missing on thousands of dollars by keeping the game on PS5/PS4 while waiting on production to increase. Sony on the other hand, seeing how the PC sales on GoW have hit close to two million sales, will probably push for a sooner than expected port to PC.

This is all speculation on my part, of course. But there is a reason why Sony is still making PS4s, they know the current situation is not great to fully embrace the PS5 just yet, so porting to PC could be extremely beneficial. I would say maybe a year or so until we get the port, but it can always be sooner too.

The reason why I've been posting GT7 stuff is because Sony has realized how positively impactful it can be to port their exclusives to PC. HZD, GoW, Days Gone. There are credible rumors that GT7 will be ported to PC, just not this year.

I think it is fun, but you can get away with a lot that you shouldn't be able to. There is a reason getting away with as much lawn mowing as you can is a tactic in that game. Really, different games do better with different types of cars.

Is that for getting off track only? Or physics in general?
I only played GT5, last time it was in 2013.

In general.

I mean that is true with all racing sims though. The main thing I am looking for is does the feedback feel representative. As long as that is a yes I find them enjoyable.

I feel like a lot of racing games hit certain marks and miss others. One of the biggest things against GT is damage, which I believe they have looked into it.

I played Assetto Corsa with Thrustmaster TMX Pro and TH8A shifter and didn't enjoy it. It might have more realistic physics, but it just felt so different and harder than driving a real car, especially drifting. Initially I thought that it could be some king of cheap training, but all the feedback was so different, plus lack of the g-forces, so it didn't really work, at least for me. I decided to play racing sims on a gamepad. Super realistic physics might be cool, but at least from my experience, it's kind of pointless if you have a mediocre hardware, which is the majority of the devices. Maybe some really fancy ones feel better, but they cost like a decent performance car, and in the end you still don't have all the g-forces and such, so I'd rather buy a real car for that price.

I think GT should be in the sweet spot regarding realism. From what I can see in the videos and remembering GT5.

Depends on the car, some cars feel great, and some feel like a brick on wheels of stone. AC is certainly not great at everything. I really only find about half the content enjoyable, the rest is a bit frustrating.

PS5
-Battlefield V as my current main MP game
-Rainbow Six Siege off and on, though I rarely play it compared to last year
-Biomutant and I'm about halfway through I think
-Hitman 3 for the monthly ET's and Featured Contracts
-Chivalry 2 whenever my friends hop on and want to play it. A bit drab on content already.

Switch
-MH Rise off and on still
-Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

PS4
-Ace Combat 5

I loved R6:Seige, then the meta shifted and my reflex's can't keep up with the kids anymore

NZXT decided to update their H1 to the H1 V2. It's literally the same case design that's slightly larger, with a PCI-E Gen 4 riser, added exhaust fan, and a few other design cues to improve thermal performance. But the biggest being it can now support larger cards up to 323mm. So that's cool! Still, the 140mm AIO isn't helpful for anything above a Ryzen 5800x. Still, it's a tempting thing and it seems they took ideas from what people were already doing.

From I what I read in the reviews, the cooling is not optimal in that case. It ran pretty hot at an excess of 75C on the GPU. PSU tends to be a bit temperamental too, but I'm sure you could switch them up.

I saw that review, too. I know heat will always be an issue for SFF. But I was hoping they'd improve the CPU cooler a bit more. As for my GPU, it doesn't run too hot since I have slim noctua fans on the rear. Still, they are sorta trying lol
