Hey Wiz

 Is this the one I got?

AMD Radeon HD 7750

I didn't see it on the list. But it was a long one  :-\

It's on there and checks in at 1841.  You'll be good to go.

Edit:  Tree'd - That's what I get for leaving tabs open for a long time and not refreshing.   ^-^
Sweet! Will be getting back with you around Tuesday. Thanks again.

Also: I LOVE the inclusion of early-1990s Chevy Lumina stock cars! COLE TRICKLE HERE I COME!

Looks like somebody beat us to it...

Any word on what kind of card you need to run three screens in project cars with decent detail and fps?

This is what one dude is using over there.

4.2GHz, Noctua NH-D14 / ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB, triple screen 5760x1080x60Hz / 8GB DDR3 1600MHz / SSD OCZ Vertex 500MB/

Hope it helps

Also...also good reading  for you tech minded folk. http://techreport.com/articles.x/23217

Very kewl thread, and even better Wiz-Vids! By mid-2013, I'll no doubt be ready for a change from GT5.  It'll be all PS3 for me, as I sold all my game computers.  Too much upkeep.

I'll look forward to more reporting ... Thanks!

Keep in mind that the ring is a work in progress.  They know some areas are too wide, too bumpy, too this, too that.  They're fixing it week by week and it gets better with each release.

Wouldn't it have been easier to do it right the first time and laser scan it?

Thanks.  That's actually not that powerful of a video card.  I was thinking that I'd have to spend much more.  I got my old desktop out of storage but the power supply was dead.  I found a good deal on a 750W power supply, it even comes with dirt 3.  I'm hoping that when I install the psu, that I'll find out that the motherboard is also fried.  Then I'm hoping that my wife will allow me to upgrade the rest of the system.  then I'll be one monitor away from a triple screen system.

Easier?  Yes. 

Cheaper?  No.

I've read that laser scanning is extremely expensive.  They are using some of their budget to laser scan some tracks though.

An example of the cost...  someone at the forum that is local to the New Zealand track shared a quote for laser scanning the 2.1 mile circuit... cost?  roughly $39,000.   So by doing some rough math that probably isn't very accurate, the cost to scan the Nordschleife would be approximately $240,000 (12.93 miles Nurburgring / 2.1 miles New Zealand track X 39,000)

 It ain't like we know every bump and exact width of every inch of any track anyway. They could crawl on their hands and knees with a level and straight edge and measuring the track width every 12". We still wouldn't know what was correct  or not:)

t500RS is awesomeness on the PC. Pcars is going to be sweet !

Wizard all your help was much appreciated. After the new download for the wheel I can't wait to try it out on GT5 again. When running the new cal after installing new drivers brake and gas was lurching fucking awful. Went through calibration and now smooth as butter. Running pcars and clutch is progressive now. TH8 shifter worked flawlessly. I'm pumped after seeing how this wheel can really perform.
Wizard, once again. Thank you! Friend :)
