SIM RACING - GAMING PC OR CONSOLE?? PROS/CONS

One of the most frequently asked questions to new Sim Racers is "can I use my xbox or playstation?" and while the simple answer is yes, Steve walks us through the major cons to a console and why a gaming PC comes in clutch (pun intended) for Sim Racing even more-so compared to other game types.

At Podium 1 Racing we only sell the top products from the top brands. We know sim racing because we are sim racers. We know motorsports because we track our own cars IRL. Rest assured, we've put together sim racing bundles utilizing the top products at the best prices.

I race on ps5 on multiple games and the force feedback is not bad like you said, button mapping was never a problem, and gt7 with the vr can only be played on ps5. I tried racing on pc and it’s a pain in the ass, def not plug and play like console. Always hoops to jump through and dumb shit happening. If I can get forza to boot first time on pc with no crash or freezes it’s a blessing in itself. Windows has too much jank and isn’t worth it. And I have a high end pc, I think I just don’t have the patience to game on it. Always stupid shit happens, driver issues, sound not working, crashes, somthing freezes, shader comp lag that’s not fixable sometimes, screen not matching up, hdr looking like crap. I’m not trying to shit on pc but it’s not nearly as pick up and play as console, and racing on console, ps5 anyway, isn’t as bad as this guys says not even close.

I just entered this arena 3 months ago. It started with my wonderful wife buying me the track racer gt light and the thrustmaster t300. Then a few weeks later I got the gt dd pro and mclaren wheel and also a fgt light. I just got a ps5 to push everything. I get your point now, very well. Lol. Now I'm on my way to a seat and proper rig, and also the monitor and PC to do it right. So addicting. I'm 42 and should have just went much higher up I should have known better. But here I am enjoying the hell out of all these upgrades. The larger problem will be getting rid of my still very new lesser gear. What a problem to have hahahahaha. Love it. Thanks bro. Will be ordering that seat from your website this weekend.

Hi, I'm looking to get my first gaming pc for these sim racing titles. I have a 27" Iiyama g-master GB2760HSU red Eagle with 144hz what pc spec do you think I will require to run acc iracing to high level?

I wouldn’t mind going the pc route because I have a high end pc but I use it for fps games etc. I wish I had the space for a dedicated sim

Rubbish video.
I run a fanatec podium dd1 on ps5.
I play acc and the force feedback is awesome.
I can play anybody in the world.
You don't know what your on about.
Obviously pc is better but it ain't as bad as you say

Hello,

I’m looking at buying a sim racer without a PC.

Please see below, those are the specs on the PC.
Will that PC be fine? Will have 3 32” monitors running at 1440p at 165 hz.

I will only be playing,

ACC

F1 24

Not a fan of iracing, sorry.
