From the very start of this Sim Racing journey, I've been very careful to not make out that I'm an expert, but rather just share my experience as I try things, make mistakes and learn.
So in today's video, I'm going to take you through my list of 10 things I wish I'd known before I spent a cent of my rig.
The list is split into two main sections, with the first 5 things relating more to hardware, and the last 5 relating to the overall experience of racing.
I hope this helps those who are new to Sim Racing get a better idea of what you should be prioritizing in terms of equipment, as well as how to get the most out of the equipment you already have.

hey Boosted media thanks for the great suggestions im thinking of starting of F1 2018 and im thinking of starting with a Logitech g29.
Enjoy it mate! That’s how I started too!
Great channel. Have not found anywhere a link to the 65 screen used and if they met your recommendations (hz..). Also wondered if space was no issue if bigger would be better. Hope to read back from you. Good luck with your m. Issues. I know it ain't easy
I am trying to figure out if I should get the Logitech g920 or the thrustmaster TMX pro
I am not entirely sure but the Hz or frame limit is caused by HDMI not 4K resolution. You should always use the so called "display port" connection on your monitor and graphic cards to prevent this limitation.
was looking for sum but there wasn't one.
no1. adjust fov
no2. three small screens are better than a big one
no3. buy screen with low input lag
no4. mind button layout
no5. buy a solid cockpit
no6. fine tune your fbb settings
no7. don't mind other people, enjoy what you enjoy
no8. join a quality racing league
no9. turn off driving assist
no10. push yourself hard and challenge faster people

Forget the 3 screens and go VR . Fucking epic .
@Melvin Frazier Tires you out ???
I have spent many a friday or a saturaday night racing on iracing from 6pm till 6am with my friends mate . I dont know why it would tire you out but then i supose everyones different . I have the oculus rift touch which i know is a lot lighter and more comfortable than HTC vive (reason i chose it) and i removed the ear phones that are attatched to them and use a pair of sennheiser hd599s headphones instead . I have a wall mounted fan mounted on the wall above my monitor and it blow air directly at me so i dont get hot and am kept nice and cool while i race/drive . This also adds to epic emersion when driving open top cars too . Its all in the set up mate . But then like i said , eveyones different . But racing in vr totally blows me away mate and i couldnt imagine going back to monitor set up for racing games .
Dont be embarrassed about always being back marker lol

Turn off all assist mean that TC and ABS move to 0?😳
@@michalmikus2103 More like suggested driving line and the one that applies brakes for you
@@fatwags thank you
Agreed, ...when you first start driving without assists, it is a satisfying achievement just to get a clean lap in, let alone, a quick one.
Every race game I play that’s the first thing I do, I want to be in control and the feeling you get when you are hauling ass and barely make it clean through that corner feels so good.
Mark Freeman i thought this was normal i turned off everything when i very first started lol
@@ActNasty5 same. My first sim was asseto corsa. Abs ? Gone. Traction control ? Gone. The rest ? Well just turn it off 😂
Maxim Ravinet exactly i was trying to feel the high horsepower light up the tires hahaha
I discovered I was so much faster without assists on. I drive it like a normal car. I am better in setting up the car, but I am car mechanic as my day job. I also got a better driver from driving rally games like Dirt you have to listen to the pace notes you learning the tracks lasting over 10 minutes is just as hard as learning it the proper way. I Like the new f1 2020 because it has Zandvoort I live in the Netherlands and always imagined myself racing there, now I can with sim racing.
Another note: expensive gear does not mean you’ll be faster. Drivers around the world have budget setups that have great skill and would beat someone with $5000 worth of gear.
I would bet anything you put those good drivers that are currently on budget setups onto a high end setup they will be able to drive better.
s3rendip1ty I think the only upgrade that makes a difference in driving is pedals.
It's mentioned in the video.
A tear rolls down my cheek and lands on my thrustmaster t80
@@v1tam1ns Check the top-lists for each track in different games. A lot of best lap times are set on g29:s and t300:s. I've even seen some gamepad in the top 15 on some tracks.
As a musician, really appreciate the comparison to learning an instrument - and encouraging people to get lessons!
I was thinking to myself the other day that practicing driving isn't too far from practicing an instrument, and there you go saying the same thing!
You've got it right. It is all hand - eye coordination; well in this case feet also count. Practice makes perfect and there are exceptional people who can do it spontaneously. Been around many of pic'ers who can jump right in and Travis pick something I've worked weeks on and still can't do it. Been around many track shoes who continually make the same mistakes no matter how many laps they've put in.
i love the fact that you stressed how important it was to enjoy what your playing rather than listening to what people say i love the f1 games as well
3 first things get solved by buying a VR headset, with the advantage of being cheaper than triples and not needing any extra space.
That's what I use, but that isn't an option for everyone due to motion sickness.
@@ClellBiggs That's a problem for some people, yeah, but it's like the first time you use a steering wheel for a sim when you're used to driving a real car. The first times you press the pedal can be... disconcerting. You expect the inertia to move you, but there is nothing. I find that worse than any VR motion sickness, to be honest, haha. But it's just a matter of getting used to it. A friend of mine almos puked the first time he tried my old CV1, but a month later he'd already grown his VR legs, so much so that he ordered a Rift of his own.
What about the extreme low resolution? It botters me so much seeing all those pixels...
@@XironRules ??? I dont know what HMD's have you used but the Rift CV1 had usable resolution, small text was a challegne but that's it. The new rift is a step back in a lot of fields but the total resolution is improved. And then you have devices like the Vive Pro, Pimax, or Valve Index (this one even does 144hz) that are perfectly crisp. In fact i dont have a problem doing things like browsing reddit in my Index with virtual desktop.
@@XironRules low resolution and extreme heat
Love this video and watched it multiple times. I finally took your advice and turned off the racing assist line. It’s much harder, naturally, but after four hours, i can already tell that I’m paying more attention to my speed and to entering and exiting corners correctly instead of the “training wheels” telling me where to drive and how fast. Thanks!!!
From a “noob”, I really appreciate this video. Been playing F1 with a controller for about a year. Take Monaco. I roll off a 1:09-1:10, but I know a 1:07-1:08 is needed, so I’m in that spot where I know I need to get a rig. Your video has been extremely helpful! Thanks!
Mate, what are you even talking.. a 1:09-1:10 with a damn controller? If you didnt beat world record with a proper Rig already, Im disappointed.
@Steven Hedtmann this makes me feel pretty good about myself haha. It's not uncommon for me to set top 1% times on tracks with a controller as well (Forza Motorsport, don't flame me too much).
I like you, my wallet however...
Same dude
Same mate
Hahahaha
Ya, he needs a caveat at the beginning saying what he talks about is multi-thousand dollar set-ups for people that aren't sent free stuff in the mail. Not saying it's a bad video, but it sure as hell is aimed at the 1%.
@@mitchblackmore5230 most working adults in the west can afford this, providing your not drowning in debt from a car, house, student loans etc
Such good advice! I’m just starting out so I found this really informative. I love that you remind us that it’s about having fun and learning and stretching yourself. Cheers mate!
Number 9. Turn Off Assists. I was much like you and did not want to turn off some of the more general assists. I got the to the point where I had all off except for braking line, and ABS. ABS was the last to go for me...but... In Forza Motorsports 6, there was a challenge card that reduced my brake efficiency by 25% for a generous reward. I loaded it up and ran with reduced brakes. WOW what a difference!!!!! Forcing myself to manage my brakes by feel (instead of guesses and prayer) increased my lap times by more than 2% within 3 or 4 races. Because I could not rely on the option of jamming the brakes on a bad line, I was forced to anticipate a smarter line through the turns. HUGE tip here that should not be ignored or feared!!!
Don`t racing cars have ABS? (genuine question)
@@eduardofreitas8336 nono, racing cars are without ABS (in fact you can see when they block tyres)
@@danielegaggiotti2238 Depends on the league. Most do actually.
@@danielegaggiotti2238 that pretty much depends on the series, many have ABS. GT3 and GT4 for example have ABS and TC. GTE only has TC. I drive mainly AC/ RF2/ R3E and ACC and use them only if the real car has them. You can fine tune them in all of these sims, which helps findung your personal sweet spot for every Car/Tracks/grip situation. It doesn't slow me down in any of these Games because they are often well implemented (i dont know how that is in Forza or GT). I actually have TC/ABS always on my wheel to be able to change it for special corners or when the grip situation changes.
100% agree, however if a car has TC and ABS in real life then ill use them.
This is one of the best "top ten" videos i've seen. All good points. A lot of other videos have 5 good points and 5 points of fluff. So many trolls out in the internet with a voice, or maybe just immature kids.
Very useful intro to things I've never heard of in relation to SIM racing. Many thanks!
Thanks for the advice, some great tips here and it has all helped me a lot! Just recently started dipping my toes into the world of sim racing and I've watched about every video you posted on the topic. I have much to learn and achieve on a modest budget (yes, I have rig envy), and although overwhelmed by it all most days, overall I've really enjoyed it. Now I just need to learn how to make it around a track.
Just ordered T300 RS GT as my first wheel. Can't wait to get into this :D Thanks for all the tips!
1st one FOV is something I realised on my own a few months ago and everything you said about it just sounded so familiar, I wish i’d corrected it way sooner than I did
You really shouldn't go under 70 degrees horizontal (43 16:9 vertical) though. As you need to be able to look ahead far as a first priority.
Great information. After I switched from standard Thrustmaster 2 pedals to T3PA Pro I started picking myself up off the ground. Can’t wait to upgrade my chair
Nice video man! I'm just getting started in sim racing, so I appreciate the tips!
What awesome videos you have and great to see you're a fellow Aussie ! I'm very very new to the fun of "SIM" racing....and too embarrassed to even mention my driving setup.....but hey, it does the job and is giving me a lot of laughs that's for sure ! Rally is my preferred thing and it's a blast for sure. I resisted the pressure from the family to even buy a PS4....and now they can't get me off it ! Cheers for the great content.
Super glad you spoke about assists!!! I was having issues correcting a slide that was ending in a complete spin out or crash because my natural read to control or correct wasn’t working for some reason. Then I realised I had assists on. These assists actually make you a worse driver because it feels like the computer assists are conflicting or combating your natural read and response of the car’s movements. Lol literally feels like the assists are fighting against you instead of assisting.
Great video man! Rig rigidity was something I had prioritized when getting into sim racing. I ended up going for the rSeat Rs1 rig. Was a bit pricey but was well worth it. Really more so now with my Fanatec Podium direct drive wheel coming soon.
Very good tips that I agree with. :)
iRacing was one of the things that made me improve the most during my simracing years, because it forced me through its online racing, irating and progression system to not be reckless, to be mindful and improve.
Yeah my very point, I just got back into it. I am about to order my cockpit. Excited to see the difference between a desk and office chair, to a solid cockpit.
Very good pointers, and about the last one i can attest to it, I am in iRacing and found myself battling it out against faster guys (i managed to make a blistering qualifying lap due to some outlap trickery shaving half a second off my fastest lap) and qualified in p5. Now my goal was to follow those faster guys and boy they were faster than my normal race pace by 1 second, but I managed to keep up (barely and due to their battles between them) but I had to push myself to the limits and when I checked my race pace after the end of the race (got 3rd place) I found out that my race pace was significantly faster than all the other races on that track and car before. That translated to better race pace for the next races (not as fast as that one where i had to push right to my limit) but say half a second + faster, which is huge by the end of a race. Now what you would like to do is to battle it out with faster guys but not so much faster they will leave you so far back, because when this happens you will go to default mode and just try to finish the race in your position, no point in pushing to catch the uncatchable which is a wise tactic especially in iRacing as you need to think about your SR and iRating and one mistake may destroy both. BTW my gear is as crap as it can get office chair, pedals held in place by a slipper before the wall and using the Logitech DFGT setup and sometimes the wheel comes off the office while i am driving and have to put it back and tighten it, and my chair swivels when i turn and moves back when i am in a heated battle :P but im doing ok-ish
You are an inspiration. I’m 63, and just starting. Can stay on track now.
@@lestercombs1871 What is the older age you are allowed to do sim racing ? I´m 72 and I still do track days.
Fantastic advice! Already got something to work on. Thanks.
Thanks boss.Looking forward to your next livestream 👍
Oh wow thanks so much for the tips, I have played around with the settings on my 26inch 10 year old computer screen and straight away became consistent nailing back to back to back laps within tenths of a second. In the 4 months I have been doing sim racing I have never done so many laps this good. Thanks so much I can’t wait for Tuesday’s racing.
I rock a g29 and my motto is take that time and effort to understand the settings, when I started it would often be very confusing until I really dove into what each setting was and how it affected other settings. Other than that, it's all up to what makes you feel better. Like he said, detail is more important than pure force. I usually go with whatever let's me feel the edge of grip personally
Great video and some really good tips. I had never heard about screen refresher rates, input lag, etc
Boosted Media: "The last thing you want to have is things getting loose or breaking off while you are driving"
Max Verstappen in a online race: "Honestly... my brake pedal fell off"
as his chair wobbles around while he says that...
@@racerx3669 Yeah I have a Fanatec wheel/pedals but haven't sorted the Office Chair Slipping. I have coasters under the wheels but they still pop out.
I'm open to ideas please
Superb video - excellent advice and really impressive breadth & depth of knowledge. Greatly appreciated - thank you!
Excellent video Boosted! FOV has been a big one that has made a huge difference for me. Thanks for all the other tips. Have just recently gone from small BenQ Triples to a 45' 4k TV (mainly for recording purposes) - might have to consider going back to triples soon.
People make fun of me for playing Forza Horizon 4,Farm sim 19, or Spintire/Mudrunner but there just fun to play with my friends and family and kill time Tho at same time I also race in Iracing just got my C class but now looking at upgrading from my G29 to Thrustmaster or Fanatec. Thanks for the video Lots of good information have been using a PSVR or single monitor for some time but finally moving to triple 1080p 144hz as the price on them have come down allot.
Are you as sick of that brake pedal as i am lol
@@tyranus1111 yes. Have done few mods like swapping clutch and brake pedal around as well as buying better springs. Made it better but still lacking
@@tyranus1111 glad I'm not the only one that hates the g29 brake pedal
while iRacing doesn't have the graphics that Forza does, it's very popular and the multi-player aspect is incredible comparatively.
@@tyranus1111 you can open up the pedals and take a small plastic piece of from the brake, just try to find a tutorial in TH-cam. Sorry my english, i'm from Finland
Wondered how you got sponsored by so many big names.... Your channel has potential ! Keep up with this good stuff.
see them now ahaha
Awesome review.. thanks heaps for the pointers..
Nice pointers, thanks for the vid!
I’ve had a playseat challenge, a tcl 27 inch screen, and a Thrustmaster t300 for a couple of years now. I have the Ferrari alcantara rim, and the Ferrari F1 rim (which I modded to have an lcd display using your simhub video). I have basically the most budget rig you can get, but I enjoy it so much. Also, you made a great point about which game to use. I own rFactor 2, iRacing, etc, but I’ve found myself playing F1 2018 career the most. I almost forced myself to play rFactor 2 when I saw some people online saying F1 2018 was too “arcadey” and not realistic enough. But as an F1 fan I’ve found that I’m much happier playing F1 2018.
good point. The important part is to have fun. I have found the F1 2021 game to be fun, quick to have some online races, and simple on car setup, just enough to have some quick races in between taking care of small kids and family jumping around you.
This was 30 minutes of almost straight nodding for me. :D
Lots of good advice and true facts there.
One more thing on the "correct" FOV topic: Distances are much easier to gauge too, as objects should have the same angular size within your field of view as they would in real life. Also approaching objects kind of warp towards you on too high a FOV, as objects in the distance get smushed together and expand as they travel towards the camera. Very much like the fish-eye view of a GoPro for instance, making the track seem very narrow and the car fast. In fact, this is often used by arcade-type games to "enhance" the sense of speed. I think that, plus the high FOV of real life onboard cameras and the fact that most normal computer setups require tiny FOVs that suck to drive with make people tend to deprioritize or dismiss the advantages a calculated FOV has.
Thanks for the video man. Only just getting into sim racing so this was very helpful.
Love your channel wil amazing content you got me hooked on sim racing . happy new year and best wishes 2023 from Ireland :)
Shouting out ma boi Jiddy :), further to that point, I won Monaco in front of him with an old DFGT, 22 Monitor and polystyrine-y office chair. Good tip with the pedals, was gonna upgrade pedals, I won't go with load cell and stick to the standard csl elite with option to upgrade down the road
Thanks for the tips, I’m new to sim racing 😂
Great video WIll, all good points well made. Shared with my Discord community.
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that :)
Thanks for the tips! Good video, Now guna watch more.. Cheers!
Nice Senna Wallpaper, greetings from Brazil!
Well done, good advice I hadn't heard before.
I'm just starting and this is amazingly useful video. Thanks
Great video mate. Great tips for others who want to get into sim racing!
"don't mind other people, enjoy what you enjoy" - some important reminder while being on track in iRacing
Super video! I really like the 3 monitor setup. But I drive in VR. But I`m
really are thinking about of VR is quicker then the 3 monitor setup?
Really great advice. Thanks for taking the time. Wish I had watched this sooner 👍
I love this video! really amazing thank you so much !
#1 Get a proper tabel to set your gear on.
#2 Good seat.
Thanks for the good video!
Good information thank you very much. Now to adjust some settings
That was a really complete review thanks for that!
A good rig, I didnt realise how much of a difference it made until I got one. I was using a crappy rig, a lot of movement with a G29 steering wheel and backward movement with the pedals.
I upgraded to a CSL 2.5 and was mid race and broke the wheel base plate off the stand. I got an RSeat and it has been an amazing improvement, as far as consistency.
I to play F1 games as well, until ither games get liscensed to use current cars and liveries it will remain my favorite game. Maybe we will cross paths sometime.
would you recommend the g29? Im looking for something to get into sim racing
@@Crazohz Rseats are awesome, all around one of the best rigs there is. I have a DD1 paired with a Rseat S1 and I absolutely love it
Number 9 is personal opinion certain drivers are quick with abs and tcs. In project cars 2 they have assist mode called authentic. That enable assist in real life.
Traction control user is slower not a personal opinion. Agree with abs in most games, depends how well you can do trailbraking.
Awesome tips bro, i just got a racing setup and ready to dive in.... your tips seem legit, ty
Great video, really useful and important tips + Senna respect = subscribed! Cheers mate
Great Tips Brother!
TY 👌🏻🏁🏆
I have just gotten into sim racing and starting with a g29 and playseat set up. Next is screen/monitor and a relevant PC set up. Very informative, thanks!
try get the vr, i never use my screen for racing ..vr is far better and more realistic..
Nice one . I have the same setup and i must say is pretty nice ! I will get this new oculus s vr next month.
I posted something similar on one of your newer videos, but for a brand new sim racer you can't go wrong with with the Logitech G29/G920 sets. As I gain experience I will certainly be looking to upgrade but for now I couldn't be happier with this set up.
Great video, thanks!
This is one of those videos I just genuinely appreciate. As someone very much considering taking the jump from controller to simrig, this is the perfect video for me to reference and learn from. I'm a bit overwhelmed at where to begin so thank you for this! ❤🤟👏👏
Ps. This earned you a subscribe and new fan. Cheers!
Welcome to the crew mate! Would be awesome to have you in our discord community too so we can help you out further.
I only leave the racing line on in games like Forza, because I never know where the road is going. I don't follow the line, but it shows where I need to go. That said, they aren't racing sims, of course.
Same story, on sims everything off and on arcade just the way i like it
Very nicely presented with good tips. Two and a half years later: TVs have developed quite a bit, but there's plenty of contemporary value in this, especially for me - as a bloody beginner... Thanks, man!
Thanks for the video very helpful
I love your videos 👍🏻
Thanks brother. Hope you’re having an awesome Christmas so far.
Boosted Media good times over here buddy! Just relaxing and enjoying my family.
Your mic are too far a way of you.. Make you sound less base and more high tune.
Very old video. We’ve come a long way since ;)
Thats why i focus on PC2.
Yes i know, the simulation isn't the best on the market. Yes, the car setups need lots of work to feel right. But for me, PC2 is incredibly immersive. No other game makes me feel like i'm actually racing more than PC2.
Check the first assetto corsa , miles better than pc2
Thanks! Very helpful for this beginner
this was very helpful thanks!
When he talks about 1 big screen or 3 screens setup, and I only have my 15inc laptop
:/
Big plus for #8.
Greetings from Florida! Love your videos!
Adjust fov - The best thing i've ever heard. Its so ovbious now 100% imporvment on consistantcy after that. Thank you!
this helped me a lot to be honest i feel like other people's opinions are just opinions so i should just to what i love, i really like your videos keep it up aussie aussie aussie!!!
Loading. thanks mate.
I love my rFactor2 or Assetto most but F1 2018 is bloody superb.
I LOVE F1 2018 and F1 2019 looks even better!
The physics etc on the F1 suck.
The physics aren't F1 2018's strong point but it's still a thrilling game and the AI is streets ahead of any other racing game I've played. Since i upgraded from a G29 to CSL Elite, I've spent more time and had more fun playing F1 2018 than playing ACC, my second favourite racing title.
Thanks man, it's more than useful
Good tips should be getting my third monitor soon just ordered a mic mount with pop filter and shock mount upgrading my quality for twitch and yt everyday
2019 -- Still playing Dirt 3
Ghetto burning!
Great game! Looks fantastic! Fun as hell
Great video bud. I love playing F1 games and I have a beautiful rig. I absolutely agreee!!!
Super helpful video! I'm fairly new to sim racing, and still not 100% sure if I'll ever get into it hardcore, but I"m really enjoying it right now. I'm running 35" ultrawide 144hz monitor in the center of my setup with a G29, but I've got an old, broken down office chair that I got for free from a clinic (broke college student here). I can't afford a cockpit, nor do I have room for one, but I think my next move will to get a chair without arms/with removable arms and stopper the pedals against the wall.
Great video man, you convinced me on a number of things. In particular - confirmed my decision to lash out on a quality frame. I started recently with a G29 which IS good, but without the ability to expand the equipment beyond wheel and shifter I opted to upgrade to the thrustmaster and a NLR elite GT frame which the guys at CLUTCH KICK RACING are supplying me sometime next week. Then it will be a monitor upgrade from a crappy 32" to a 100Hz 50" due to being on PS only. Then the training wheels come off. I've done enough work on most of the tracks to know them well enough to take the braking markers and racing line off. Like you say, I'm prepared to do some re-learning there to help my driving improve overall and brake (get it?) some nasty habits from early on. Thanks again, I really find your channel useful, and being Aussies, I know you understand the challenges of access and supply of equipment here (I'm regional so have to travel to get equipment)
Cheers Fella!
Thx for the octaneonline racing link. All signed up except for there discord channel as the link has expired.
Thumbs up for Senna’s on the background 😊
Great vid, thank you 👍
Im a new subscriber. Just changed my field of view = Huge Result and only a small adjustment period. Thanks for the heads up about a sturdy rig too definitely help for a better experience. Your channel is very informative.
Glad it helped Josh :)
That seat moves around a lot while you are just talking, I wonder how much flex there is from the wheel?
Breno I believe it moves around because he’s got a motion setup.
Great, no AMAZING, input and I wish I could have viewed this 5 years ago when I started. One thing I am not sure I agree with (after spending 1-2 years with each config) is that a single 32:9 49” at 3840x 1080 curved screen 144hz refresh with a 1080 to is a great option to me. I had first used triple 32” 144Hz monitors with 3 1080ti’s, but I never got used to the borders and inter-game alignment issues. Fortunately I purchased used 1080 ti cards and 32” monitors, so I put the extra $1,800 into a rear slip motion mod. The rear slip added much more value and performance benefit (added to my shakers) than many other things, as it really helped me sense rear end slip and oversteer better.
Nice! Which rear end slip system did you get?
Boosted Media - I used the SimXperience rear traction loss DIY kit.
Good vid, Will -- lots of valid points. I'm at the 55" TV and flexing home brew wooden rig and Miata seat part of the journey lol.
Great vid! Just started with F2020, playseat challenge and a T150. Already enjoy it so much and I am afraid that this is just the beginning👌😂
Nice video even i'm not new to sim racing!Thank you.
Finding FFB settings is still the most difficult thing for me... I always feel like there's something wrong but I can't figure out what or which setting to change...
When I have a working FFB-Setup that is about 90% right, I leave it that way and just get used to it. For me personaly it is much easier to adopt to the slight imperfection of the FFB then constantly hunting down the last 10% and always drive with different settings. But then again, I'm using an old DFGT wheel where you can't reach perfection anyways^^.

Your welcome.
You are welcome*
try drifting in AC with the motion platform, please
Oh absolutely!!!! I need to practice for at least a year first though LOL.
@@boostedmedia acdriftingpro.com/ has quite some well tuned drift cars, which should make things a bit easier :)
This is great video but a good reminder remember that standards change. HDMI 2.1 is able to handle 240Hz at 4K so today it is is possible to run a 4K TV at high refresh rates. And TVs these days also support variable refresh etc.
good points, i am waiting on direct drive base to come in now, just the more accurate steering alone on the direct drive is the reason i put the money down. Just a night and day difference for inputs alone, force feedback is stronger but i didnt really care about that. Whatever makes you better when you go to a racing school either beginner or advance is worth the money I spent.
