A sim rig is fanastic and just brings everything to another level. I have a SimLab GT1 cockpit with triple monitors and Fanatec wheelbase, pedals & shifter. Such a great feeling that you get with it. Started off with a Logitech G25 clamped to my desk many many years back and even that was great as it just adds to the immersion factor.
I really want one but not sure if i have space to put it since the wife wants a baby room sorting out eventually. Will have to see if i can get it set up somewhere but ideally want it next to my pc in the same room.

Did you find any vibration travelling from your wheel to the desk and vibrating the screen??

I have very bad experiance with kingpin cards, I went through 4 980TI's when trying to build an SLI setup... nothing but hastle with them and i still have one in my cupboard gathering dust because i could no longer be bothered with their customer service to return it again.

I know people say they are built for custom cooling but those cards had absolutely amazing looking coolers on them stock, why put such a cooler on them if they werent meant to be used on air... always made me wonder.

Just got 3090 Founders Edition

Hi guys,

I dunno if i got a dud card or if i'm an OC'ing noob.

Power target is 107% and temp target is 91C (I think 107 = 375W)
I have the rtx 3090 tuf gaming (not the OC variant) with +130 core and +200 memory and my score on port royal seems really bad...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can improve it?

Proof i own the card:

Question about overclocking. At the minute, I'm managing +130 on Core and have had the memory up to about +1000. Given that temperatures have stayed around 65-70. I'm wondering if I'd see much tangible gain moving to watercooling or is power going limit any potential gains.
There are obviously other benefits going to a full custom loop; Noise reduction, aesthetics and CPU temp but not sure if the Gigabyte gaming card is the most suitable candidate for watercooling.

It turns out 10bit colour isn't free...

13500 is still short of what others are getting with 2x8pin cards...

Maybe the 3900x is holding me back slightly (I notice all top results use 9900k or 10900k)

jay85's run has lower average core and memory clocks than me

Yet he has a highly clocked intel cpu - maybe that's it?

I also have a 4k monitor so not sure if that causes loss?

Did it come??? Hope you got your card!

These new drivers have certainly improved things, just had a solid session on Project cars 3. Clocks and voltage were locked solid and stayed at 2055 core clock, had it overclocked to +100 and 400 mem, locked to 144fps with high settings with full clarity AA. Silky smooth gameplay! I couldn't get this yesterday with the previous drivers as it kept black screening randomly then coming back, made it unplayable with fps fluctuating around 100-110fps.

Such a huge difference to my 2080 which could barely keep 50fps on the same settings! Things can only get better i think :)


over 100FPS was unplayable?

Just got my 3090 :)
For anyone who might be wondering, it does "just" fit inside a Lian Li 0-11 Air (same as the Dynamic).
I will be watercooling mine anyway but nice to be able to use it with the side on until I get the parts etc.
