HDSR Technical Support / Re: Need HELP!!!! My mobo is apparently fried
« Last post by Tim Lansberry on February 25, 2014, 04:05:19 PM »
Anyone have any opinions on this card:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-640-GC-1GB-128-bit-GDDR3-PCI-Express-3-0-64TGF8HX6FZ-/291072309964#ht_1704wt_974

How does it compare to a 9800GTX+?  It gets good reviews from Newegg and they are out of stock there, but its available on Ebay... NEW for less anyway. I looked at a video card site and the GeForce GT640 getts a wide range of scores.....some way below the 9800GTX and some above. My luck it would be way below and not worth the effort? :-\

I won't spend a dime on any used computer parts - they are usually junk or about to be junk IMO. Won't buy refurbished either....they may have fixed the faulty component but the other working components are probably near their end of life as well. Thanks anyway

Well, replaced the power supply and find out the motherboard is gone also.Get that after searching for an older one compatible with my older components and then it gets delayed by weather. Got it installed with new ram (wouldnt take my DDR2), and find out the GTX9800+ video card also is now fried. I can use the on-board vga to get my taxes doen and regular activities, but I think I may hold off on a new video card for this older computer. Cheapest card that meets the specs of my old one is over $100 and I'd rather save that for the complete rebuild whenever I get to that. Have a nice season guys.. :'(

General Discussion / Re: Sundays Elite race?

If we have 35 or more drivers show-up, we will split the field into two servers - using the Qualifying Session as described in previous post.

I know this is an open setup race this coming Sunday at Daytona.   Do we have to qualify our way into this race too?

Thanks,
Larry

Hey....I just do this to have fun!

All I'm saying is if someone with a non-standard (to a real driver) view affects my fun in a negative way due to this different view, then I have an issue. Having not used this view for a real race in 20+ years I can't say it does or doesn't give an advantage, so I'll leave it with those who have to decide.

Either way I still just want to have fun... ;)

hi Tim, no offence taken, I don't care what view you or anyone else uses, I why would u or anyone else care what view I use? Why are people voting to restrict something that has no effect on them? I thought people cared about freedom of choice! No offence! :)

No offense to anyone...but I vote for CLOSED cockpit  - have been dong so since Hawaii and will always do so. I do this racing to be as close a simlation as possible, not like Xbox or other "games". Sure the view from behind while drafting at the plate tracks is limited - but that is what makes you more aware and on-edge and learn patience. Furthermore, the view would be closed cockpit - not closed mirrors. Aren't there mirror adjustments to allow better viewing if one chooses to do so?

hey Guys
an heated discussion on this topic
for my 2 cents worth. i dont care what view people use as long as they can hold their line and not hit me :)
i prefer the tv cockpit view myself. I have run the in car view and find it ok, however i still prefer the tv cockpit. its the view i've always used and am most comfortable using it. i find it frustrating driving the in car view at the plate tracks as the visibility is very limited and we don't have the aids/feel the real guys do.
as far as i am concerned. you use your view, i'll use mine :), if your force me to use your view, you use mine :(
honestly i'd rather take time to do anything else than try to do something that frustrates me.
