Your rig/setup

Here studying and unable to use these beauties!

 

They are great pedals, hope you get to use them soon!

 

Until I hit the jackpot I have built a new PVC stand. The one that I had for my Logi Momo wheel had a post up the middle and it was starting to aggravate me at times. I had to add a bungie strap to keep this one completely stable, but so far, so good. Just a little top heavy without it, but very stable now. I followed the lead here and added an extra shelf below the steering shelf to offset the gear shifter. There are no specs given in the video so my young son and I winged it. It was a fun project for the two of us and took one afternoon and evening. I used a recipro saw and a power drill to make things easier. The total cost was around $75 USD for materials. I have since added a keyboard tray. When it gets warmer outside we will paint it jet black (and work on better wire management). My son insist on getting an AC logo on there somewhere

Wifey restrictions don't currently permit a separate sim setup so I had to go with what I have as far as the screen setup. It is surprising comfortable with my desk chair setup to have the screen higher. Also waiting for my GTEye mod to arrive.

 

Awesome rig! I would say take your money and invest it in your rig instead of triple 1440p monitors. Triple 1080p is more than good enough and you may also want to jump ship to vr if it's good enough.

 

The reason why i want 1440p is i dont want to go back on 1080p lol. And i might still play FPS if there is a good one in the future. Hihgh res is just a n i candy for me.. ( i like good looking graphics thats why i dont play in console anymore). What is VR by the way? Sorry new in sim racing

 

Vr is virtual reality like the oculus rift.

 

are you planning to add a 2nd 980 to run those ?

 

Yes.. But i might buy it together with the monitors.. Not soon though cause with almost all of the games out there, this card can prettyuch run it in ultra even in 1440p res(except 3x 1440p).Before prior to buying sim racing game
3 monitors set up for me in fps games in my opinion is not a big advantage thats why now im playing sim racing i am thinking of having 3 monitor set up. Sorry for bad english. 2nd language

 

Oh ok lol thanks now i know. Im also considering of buying oculus instead of two more 1440p monitor. The problem though is,availability of the product here in Canada. O dont even know where to buy one lol.

 

I'm going to venture to say if you only have 1 980 your going to need 2 more not just 2 to push that many pixels. 7680 x 1440p @ 60fps minimum

 

Maybe you are correct about that. That is why i am considering to buy oculus to the fact that it only cost half the price compare to 2 more monitor and a gtx980. Do you have oculus? I am asauming that video card will be rendering two monitors(what ever the oculus resolution is). Do you think 1 980 would be able to run this game in oculus?

 

I would SERIOUSLY do some more research and know what your talking about before thinkin dual/triple 980's, tripple 1440's and or Oculus.

 

@0weng, like @Nick Moxley was saying your going to have to continue doing research before making any final decisions about screens. I don't have an oculus rift, since I don't have the time to be a beta tester. I'm going to wait for the consumer release before I jump on board, but it looks impressive. You shouldn't have any problem running the dk2 worth a single 980 but if the consumer version goes to 1440p per eye out may not be enough. Again this is going off of trends, so don't hold me to it.

 

Thanks for all the advice.. I guess the current version for oculus is 1080 x9** .
And the above comment telling me to do more research about tripple screen, thanks man, i really approciate it.
I will do that once i have enough cash to actually buy those stuff.. I just build this gaming pc 2 months ago( my old rig was dual gtx770 and sli is not really my liking too much issues with some of the games.) so once i recovered form all the expenses i spent to this rig then i will start to do more thorough research on what or what not to buy. Thanks guys

 

No problem, sli depends on the games but every personal rig I've built since 2007 except for one all ran sli. It's sort of my thing lol.

 

All my previous sli that i've built in past years was smooth like butter except the last one it so frustrating and the game i play also contributes alot to this issues and younprobably know that bf4 is known for that issues lol,it is still one of the best game i have though.

 

Yeah, I totally skipped everything since the bad company series which I found fun. Just haven't had time to do much Haven't put much anytime in Rome II either. I just play AC whenever I get a chance and that has been cool. Actually has been saving me quite a bit of money lol!

 

A bit of update from my old setup , new desk/ikea table , wheel , button box and display

 

20$ tweak, including the wheel. And the beer
