Im wondering is it worth going for the 970 gtx over the 960 ? is there that much of a difference?

For other games, yes. LFS is just about entirely CPU dependent because of the physics. as you saw in some of my screenies with a 4690k and a HD7770 GHz Edition, I can get up to 720fps (or 1000fps when mining on MC)

That's a hard one.

I've had the EVGA 970 Since it came out, I must say, it's one heck of a card, it's super silent, uses minimal power (like the 960 tbh), I'm able to comfortably run ANY game on near enough max graphics (Crysis, GTA, Battlefield) and you're looking at 60-100 frames per second as well while you're at it. (If your CPU is capable that is)

For the price, you can't go wrong, but then again, the 960 is even cheaper, and not that much slower. Personally, I'd go for the 970 simply because of the power it is capable of handling and the fact it will last you a long time with the current development of graphics in gaming.

Both are fantastic cards, the 970 is better which is expected, so really it's down to: are you willing to pay that little bit extra to get a better and longer lasting card?

Just a tip as well. Do NOT let your framerate in any game fluctuate between big differences (like in LFS or Minecraft, 200-500 FPS every few seconds is not healthy for the card, also if you start running at really High framerates (around 1000fps), it will start screaming, literally a high pitch noise will come from the card, which is normal, not too sure if it's good for the card though but I advise you frame lock at 250FPS, there's no need to go above 250FPS, since the screen latency difference is minimal and you can't really get any monitors with a refresh rate high enough to make a difference.

This G29 is an epic steering wheel, you can adjust volyme, change music on wheel

[Borja]

And the G27 shifter works well?

Enjoy it!

[KooKoo]

That wheel looks small. Is it small, Jim?

[[TC]►Carl◄]

Looks the same as the G27 in terms of its diameter, its just that the bottom of the wheel is flat, whereas the G27 isn't. I could be wrong.

[Owl]

They are both 11" iirc

[SO•Yukine]

Need your daily dose of shitty quality pics?

Quote:But I wouldn't recommend to buy another Logitech simracing wheel after your DFGT decides to give up on you. I had both DFGT and G27 - in today's market there are way better options...not to mention G29 which is no better than the G27, charged at approximately 420 EURO (still has deadzone at that price tag and still makes weird noises when you hit curbs) just because they added some buttons.. as well as the fact that the wheel uses the same FFB tech as in a G27. You can get a damn Fanatec wheel for that money or a Thrustmaster.

New wheel stand, going to hard mount my pedals to it when I can get my head around the templates and find out exactly where I want them.
