Yea unfortunately i upgrade my PC ever 5 years or so, and got a new cpu a year ago

so i don't get to benefit from it immediately

and i spent more than i should have lol

I'm right there with you. I'm still rocking an i7-3770k CPU from Intel, and a GTX 970 from Nvidia. The 3770k was released back in 2011 IIRC, and I bought it in 2013. The GPU I won for free at a gaming LAN in Oregon 5 years back.

I'm hoping to do a new build by the end of the year.

Yea i've got a ryzen 1600 and gtx970

the mining went crazy so i never upgraded GPUs when i had an abundance of money and i no longer have an abundance of money

so now i wait

The mining was ridiculous for a good while there I'll say.

I would see people on reddit selling like 50x GPU's 😂

I'm like where the fuck do I get that type of money.

Yea there were used 970's on craigslist for more than i paid for my new 970 3 years prior

it was ridiculous

😐

So now i have VR and a 970, eh

I haven't got into VR yet. I haven't been impressed enough to dig into that side of tech. I'm hoping Oculus or HTC releases a better product in the next several years or so.

I just do Sim racing so i don't need the hand wand things, used mixed reality headsets are absolutely phenomenal for the price for what i do

$180 for like 50% more FOV than a rift and 20% more resolution

plus it's lighter

Huh. That's not bad. I've largely been wanting a solid, but realistic FOV. I want it to be high resolution, and preferably 120 Hz butter smooth. But, of course, largely technology isn't advanced enough where that is reality at 4k or greater. feelsbadman

Have you ever played Assetto Corsa?

All i do is assetto corsa

the mixed reality headsets are like 90 fov at 90hz

there's like 5 of them but they all use the same panels

105 fov whoops https://i.imgur.com/o6yMGAt.png

Yaas.

I need to get back into playing AC.

Perhaps pick up a Logitech setup.

oh m aybe the rift has like 100fov according to some forums, not sure

resolution definitely helps whenyou're trying to maximize braking zones and use the whole track but yea lol

True. I've been getting more into cars, and AC only solidifies the fact that I want all of them 👀

It's very very fun and definitely worth the money especciallyy if you can find a used wheel and VR headset

That, and I've been watching this group called StraightPipes on Youtube who do reviews of any and all cars.

Hmm.

When I pay off my debt I'll have to look into it.

I'm very lucky that i have fun in cheap as fuck cars and i have nearly no desire for any car more than $10k

I think assetto might even help me with that

i get to try everything in very realistic settings without any money

See, I don't have nearly as much fun but that's because I'm lacking a turbo right now. I had bad luck with previous private sales, so I finally got something at a dealership.

I would contemplate mods but I'm not a fan of the blind spots in the Hyundai Veloster.

you've got a veloster with no turbo?
