Working on a follow-up video going into more detail on GPUs specifically, what to consider, the best options, etc.; I realize this was lacking from this video; stay tuned!
This video ever get made? I'm in the market to spend about $1k on a new GPU from my 1080ti for triple 1440p. Not sure if vram is most important or new tech like dlss3. Would love a deep dive on the best gpu's specifically for sim racing needs! Not many other regular pc testing channels present what's best for sim racing/flight sim pc builds. Thanks!
Easy just open a second account transfer a little money per paycheck and she’ll never know. Now if she does find out just say it’s to buy her something special and actually buy said item, but keep transferring the money. She’ll forget about it momentarily
Started with a Series X early this year. Then got a fanatec csl dd and csl load cell pedals. Realized that Xbox isn’t that great for sims, so just bought my very first pc components. Ryzen 5 5600 RX 6600 ASUS B550 board 2x16 ddr4-3600 2tb M.2 Gonna built it myself.
Running a triple 1440p - 144hz setup and just switched my 6950xt for an RTX 4080. Not an needed upgrade but im just suprised at how much a constant 120 or 144hz refresh rate adds to the immersion. Plus Nvidia surround is way easier to setup than AMD Eyefinity for a 4 monitors setup.
@Tofu Mofu Any idea if a 4080 will fit in a MSI MEG Trident X 10SD-867 MYS gaming pc ? I bought it ready made with a RTX 2070 Super in it but it struggles on triples 1080p for high FPS, especially when racing 20+ cars and on ACC. I’m not a PC expert so maybe you know more…. Thanks for the help already 🏁🏁🏁
@@bmwM3M5M6 I dont think you could has your best bet would be the FE card but the air flow pattern is not an option for this case. Its an Itx based system so I would just get the nr200p and swap the component into it. That case is cheap and really great to work into it. Currently running the 4080FE and a 13700kf in one no problem at all, 50 to 65 degres max
@@_Czarny_PL It does, but if you can afford a 4090 you wont regret it as it will give you a nice headroom at these resolutions. Only reason I went 4080 was that m'y build is a 10L SFF PC, power and température management were needed.
Really great intel and well constructed video…..thanks…..building one now and much of your info predicated we are on the right track. Thanks ….keep ‘em coming.
i bought a $1200 pre built for my first pc and it’s handled basic stuff like ac and acc but you can’t blast graphics. i’ve never built a pc so this is a huge help as i’m saving up to build a dedicated rig! great video man thank you.
I think planning to upgrade your system is a mistake. Buy the best you can afford then use it for 5-6 years. At this point the only components you can reuse are the case and power supply.
Hey! Thanks again for the suggestion, and I hope it was helpful in some way. I know I didn't go into too much detail, but theres a lot to cover, so I may do more detailed videos, like for GPUs.
Great video. I'm on the verge of upgrading my whole sim setup (from GT-Lite, TMX and laptop to Fanatec, profile rig, custom desktop, etc) and wanted a baseline for where I needed to start for looking at PC components. I'm not big into gaming on PC outside of sim racing these days (my Steam library may argue) so I don't need a top-tier rig. This was a great guide to get me on the right track. Thank you. Subbed.
Incredible video. Thank you. Will $2,000US dollars be adequate for parts to build CPU? IS there a big difference between 1-2k dollar budget? I just want to race. N streaming. No video editing. Not using PC to work. Simply gaming.
Thanks for this! I noticed there are new versions of your monitor, is there a big difference between your QHD version and the E2 version (both on same Amazon page you posted for your monitor)?
I've been comparing the specs side by side, but I can't seem to figure out the difference between them. Unless I'm missing something, the specs all appear to be the same. Could it be that the E2 is just a newer version without any notable improvements?
One addition: primary / gaming SSD-s should always be M.2 PCI-E SSD-s, and NOT SATA! Going with SATA will result in a 1/10-t of read/write performance, or worse!
total noob question... does the wheel and other bits affect your GPU at all. I have a 2070 so I don't have much to spare. lol keyboard and mouse I don't fall below 100 fps... depending on the game/settings of course.
zero need for a dedicated simracing pc its a uselsss trick, just use a few splitter and your current pc ( if thats not up to spec just upgrade it, aswell you don't need crazy specs, my pc barely costs £800 and i'm running triple 1440p )
Been using a gaming laptop with an i7 and a 1660 ti for the past 2 yrs now mainly on iracing. Been having no issues but I would like something quieter.
@@simracingden yea I’ve been surprised at how much it can handle. I can run iracing between 80-100 fps on medium graphics easily. Unfortunately I probs won’t be getting a pc any time soon since I go to college overseas and I also just spent an arm and a leg on a new rig 😬
absolutely zero need to run triple 4k, you wont notice a difference, also your 4070 wont handle it too well, idk why you think you need 4k, you'll do perfectly fine with 1440p
Yes I agree These days 32gb is starting to become the min recommendation that’s what I run myself. That kind of usage sounds high though for not running any games? What apps are taking up the most usage?
Can someone give me a rough estimate on a reliable but yet budget friendly PC..don't want to break the bank lol did on hardware and rig been gaming on console but want to go PC but have noooo idea what matters most and where I could get one for a great deal
To provide recommendations on PC hardware, it would be helpful to know the specific sims you plan on running, as well as the displays you intend to use. Additionally, please provide details on your desired resolution, frame rate, and the display's capabilities. This information will assist in providing tailored suggestions for your needs.
I clicked on your video because I was hoping you might dive deeper into explanations regarding the GPU choice. Sadly, I noticed that this part takes apporoximately 30 seconds of your video. I think this is a big decision to make whether to choose AMD or Nvidia - regardless if somebody decides to build a triple screen setup or use vr. FSR, DLSS, gigabytes of ram affecting the VR performance, Nvidia Surround, Fixed foveted rendering not being currently available for AMD cards, etc.
Sorry about that I realize I should have gone into more detail there. Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to potentially work on another guide just focusing on GPU options since it's one of the most important.
It's a good card but not a big step up from the equivalent 30 series. It should run most sims at above 60fps, but if you can, I would aim for something capable of over 100fps for sim racing. Also, it only has 8 GB of RAM, so it could get overwhelmed by some newer or future titles. I would personally look at a 4070 and above if I were you.
Do you mean the PC I built for my Sim Racing Rig? If that's the case, it's more than adequate for Fortnite and may even be overpowered. It should be able to achieve high FPS, although I'm not familiar with the game's requirements. My PC can handle many games at maximum settings and high FPS.
I'm not one of those people to try to put down others but I'm going to argue a factor on this subject. You do not have to have the best of the best PC, Monitors and equipment to enjoy or experience the best of sim racing. Having these things will not help your lap times or make you better than others. The best race car drivers can win with the shitest of vehicles. The driver makes the race not what your running.
I agree and that was not the point I was trying to communicate. I didn't say you need the best of the best just wanted to provide a basic guide on the key components for those new to PC building.
Really depends of your goal, to be the fastest and enjoy racing you are 100% right. But for some, the joy of sim racing does come from getting the gear that will let you recreate the most faithful representation of racing a car and enjoying the building process. I just cant agree about the part that drivers can win with the shittiest vehicle as it is usually not the case at all. Plus racing irl is a team sports, your vehicle , mecanics and even sponsors are part of the game, not only your driving skills.

Hi den, what about a configuration for 2024/2025 considering the newest assetto corsa evo?
Don’t know yet, but expect your going to need some pretty good hardware to run at high graphics.
Nice , good vid
Thanks!

I got a 7900xtx and running ac 8560x1440 at 144hz with pure and natural post processing mod all at max for 85fps. I think I need more power
Possibly but ACC on really high graphics is pretty intensive.
One addition: primary / gaming SSD-s should always be M.2 PCI-E SSD-s, and NOT SATA! Going with SATA will result in a 1/10-t of read/write performance, or worse!
Yes absolutley I have 3 M2 PCI-E SSD I must have missed mentioning this.
I have GeForce 4060 8gb can I upgrade to triple 32s w/1440 or do I need 4080 16gb.
what type of FPS are you getting now at 1440p? what is the max refresh rate of your new monitors?

I'm trying to get into sim racing for PC. I want to cut up on AC but I know nothing about computers
Hi just looking for advice on a GPU I'm probably only going Tobe playing Sim racing games running on a single 1440p monitor thanks
I'd probably go with like a 4070
It's perfect except for the monitors which are to small
Looking to upgrade my monitors to 42” or 48” in the near future likely LG oled
Is the Ryzen 7 5700g, GTX 3060, and 16gbram good combo?
why would u buy a 3060 rn. they are more expensive then a 4000 series
Been using a gaming laptop with an i7 and a 1660 ti for the past 2 yrs now mainly on iracing. Been having no issues but I would like something quieter.
That’s good but for sure a PC with better cooling would be quieter since the laptop probably has to run fans at high speed to keep temps in check.

I am new to pc, looking at building a 8 core ryzan pc for triple 4k monitors. Do i need the go more cores or should that do it?
Gpu will be more critical in this case to run those monitors at a 4K resolution and decent frame rates.
