I have a decent PC but I'm still a **** driver!

I'm a decent driver but have a **** PC. Barely runs rFactor 1 maxed out.

 

[HammyMansell]

PC is the way forward!

Haha sure!! Anyone would prefer to have the game on PC!! But sometimes it's not possible!!!! I remember a catchphrase from my childhood 25 years ago from my preferred video game company of the time, SEGA!..... To be this good takes AGES.... (SEGA spelt backwards) I have waited 25 years for a game to be THIS good as PCARS!!! Lol!!

Well, when my **** PS3 bit the dust I decided to go the PC route, got PC Specialist to build me one and have to say, very happy indeed. Reaching ridiculous FPS, even in Assetto Corsa! Eagerly await PCars now.....

@Roostaboosta It's mainly my GPU, a poorly GT610. Planning on getting a 780Ti soon,

 

[Roostaboosta]

I've been waiting a year for a game as good as PCars. Ever since I sold my PS3 and GT6.

If you do decide to PC again then try AC, very good physics, great graphics and a large Mod community. Will be good to flip between the two.

As i said me 25 years..... Since the days of Super Monaco GP and Road Rash!!!! to me they were revolutionary and broke the mould and influenced all games.. Until PCARS appeared!! This has raised the bar IMO.

If you're going to do it then go for a GTX970 and I7 CPU, shouldn't need to upgrade for a little while

PC aside, the intention is for all releases to be the same. No console release is going to be "better" than the other.

No:

We have a thread for this, and i7 is unnecessary for gaming

You are joking I hope!

PC will be better than PS4 and XBone, guaranteed. Greater flexibility, more options, graphics power etc.

Sure, but it'll crash less on the consoles!! Lol!!

Any idea why the i5+i7 have so much higher frame rates in Dirt 3 but not in BF?

How sneeky, when did they edited the FAQ?

Well, than welcome pCARS...the first game that will eat your i5 for breakfast

Today i think...... At least it confirms they have finished tweeking this as per the builds....

I think he uses an I5..... lol.

BF4 was designed to run with AMD parts, it has a lot of multi threading to make the most of all the AMD cores (up to 8 of them), Dirt likely uses 2-4 cores and single Intel cores are better

I swear I was reading the FAQ just yesterday afternoon. They must've sneaked it in there sometime today.

Oh boy, I can't wait for the arguments and mockery over whose little squares of colored light are slightly smaller than the other guy's little squares of colored light.

With a powerful GPU and an i5, your system will be CPU bound quite early in big grids. Who'd guess this game is heavy on physics (which run on CPU exclusively)

Thanks for the quick reply:tup:. I just noticed in the FAQ that it's 32 online with 64 bit PC and 16 online with 32 bit PC as well:tup:

Why does it always come down to bloody pc vs console. Get a grip people game on your desired equipment and shut up!

It's not helpful it's just boring and there's a thread to discuss it anyway.

 

[Roostaboosta]

Chill out, just a bit of banter!

You made a wise choice by the sound of it! Hehe.

 

[thedottore46]

I would like to ask if the GT2 cars are included in the GT3 category, for example in multiplayer or career mode. I love BMWs, but I saw quite often M3s popping up during races , and that to me is quite annoying.

Since the M3 GT2 is the only GT2 spec car in the game (atm) it was BoP'd to GT3 spec to compete with the other GT3s. Good decision imho because the M3 would be so lonely otherwise

 

[HammyMansell]

Yep!! And it's a good indication that the game is more or less ready as this is now confirmed!!!
