GORGEOUS! You're welcome, but ummm, actually it's this game called Forza Horizon 2 that's being complimented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l_lclrnWTI What's that? You can smash into a pile of pallets? SOLD!

I'm confused... are you saying Australians can't afford a 750 or you can't? I bought the 680 GTX 4GB when it came out. Typically I only upgrade on every 2nd generation. turboduck I remember starting out playing TDU1 at 640x480 with a $60 ASUS 265mb graphics card that was too tall for my desktop case, so I had the lid unlocked, resting on it. Must have got around 25FPS at the time, playing with a keyboard. :) When you start working and can afford to upgrade you don't have the time to enjoy it anywhere near as much. :(

Why not?, I check out your posts there :cheeky: WMD Forum

It's too small

DS4x will be the biggest killer, along with things like ultra shadows and detailed grass. My specs are in my WMD signature

Click here to read about some types of Anti Aliasing methodology It's how you make non-straight lines appear smooth and not jagged. Some methods look nicer, others are less resource intensive and result in higher FPS

There are THREE important aspects to Project CARS Find out what at least two of them are here :toof:

Was really hard to choose between Matt and Tim

I'd rather a game be beyond my current PC's potential - means that I've got something to look forward to if/when I upgrade. Compared to say playing GTR or Race 07 10 years later and it looks 10 years old. With my specs I can play with most stuff on Ultra with a simple AA. You'd need a monster rig later on to play at DS9X (which renders 9x the resolution and then downsamples). There are also options for DS2X and DS4x, or basic SMAA, or light-on FXAA.

Race 2

An OzCoMoBro buddy has setup a new league on GTPlanet which I somewhat reluctantly joined (I knew I would enjoy but had to force myself to not be too busy) I haven't prepared or practiced anywhere near enough but that won't stop me. Finally there's a car that suits my driving style rather than a boring slot car or slow FWD hatchback. ;) Details: CluB 543 - GTPlanet 543 BHP Limits to weight and PP Racing medium tyres Obligatory pit stop with fast fuel/tyre usage Round 1 was fraught with technical difficulties on my end - I've broken my optical-out audio port on the PS3. Workaround solution meant no recording. I literally purchased and upgraded the car (without testing any other options) 15 minutes before qualifying. I thought I was clever going for a mid-RPM Turbo for increased torque for improved corner exit speed at Bathurst but that meant I had to be super careful on the power or spin the wheels coming out of every turn, so couldn't use the power. Round 2 - Brands Hatch GP Again, no real prep besides a Project CARS race and 10 minutes of GT6 Time Trial before joining the lounge. Fixed my mistake by going to a High RPM turbo. Worked out where I could push and what line would suit the car best. Qualified 3rd last (expect this to be a pattern). I happen to know that this track is more about not stuffing up than being the fastest, so that was my game plan. Race 1 Race 2 - cleverly worked out that the mid-stint car dopeyness was likely from reduced weight from fast fuel use. Changed the car balance (ballast) from 50:50 to 49:51 and noticed a big improvement. Annoyingly I keep accepting the default refuelling suggestions when I enter pit lane because the accelerator pedal is also an X (confirm) button in game, which wastes time. Calculated that a certain pace should be enough to keep the lead and reduce my risk of crashing despite 2nd place rapidly catching up. Watch the video to see if my maths were accurate enough.

Nice to see the Gran Turismo online service stable again Car was going all dopey (unresponsive) mid-stint, which made it a battle to stay fast and in control. Few laps after pitting is just me stuffing up, but there's a good battle toward the end (can you tell I was pushing?) :lol: Race 2 being uploaded

Nothing wrong with playing games when older, it's just not as big a priority with limited time/money if you've started a family.

by the way who actually thinks they will still be playing this game 8 years later (in 2022)? or PS4/Xbone? (new consoles should be out by then) or any video games in general? (grown up)

And make sure the turbo part is bold. Don't know how... just do it. :cheeky:

With either version I guess we'll have had enough playing it by the end of the year anyway. I don't recall playing FH1 more than a couple of months. The Rally DLC never discounted enough for me to grab it either.

Nice one Speeder. Reckon you'll be done before Nov 11? :D

Ozz I was referring to the video I uploaded in the Ariel Atom at Oschersleben

Bonnets reflect something that you can already see just above them (that your PC has already processed), whereas mirrors are generally coded as a second camera view (PiP), not too dissimilar from split screen. I get how things like this and dynamic weather could be added to PC in years to come as performance is always improving. There's much less room to grow on consoles though.

Cool photo

Yep, can't wait for them to get on top of this so that epic racing can resume. There's a massive league of WMD players who have had over 40 players in races who are on hand to regularly test and give needed feedback. Online team are working on passing console certification so as not to hold up release, I imagine that when the console versions are in the QA phase (actioned by Sony/MS) they'll be jumping onto this sort of stuff. I recall the online was fine before changing over to Steam as well. Ozz you should upload a video called "No Ryzza, I didn't hit you" :p
