I hope it fits in your case as it's a very long card.
If it is too long I'd send it back and try to get this one:

A really short PCB

A very cool and low energy card due to it's 40nm GPU. And it's at least better than 8800GT. And we all know a 9800GT==8800GT but a little bit better

Was looking for 4770 on there! Ye it's faster then 9800GT ( 8800GT just exactly the same )

But heh guess it's to late now hehe.

9800GT will do the job good.

It's also 10 euros cheaper :wink2:

You are in the same boat I was.

I had my cruddy 256MB 8500GT Geforce card. I decided I wanted to upgrade, but didn't want to spend much. Well I ended up spending $200 between a new card and PSU, as I got the 4850HD.

Now I haven't played on a 9600GT, but I know for sure if it's anything remotely close to the 4850HD, your performance jump will be huge. My card just owns every sim-racing game right now, especially compared to me 8500GT. I promise you'll be satisfied with a 9600GT.

Thank you didn't know where to put the info, we are running IP.Board 2.1.x I found some code modifications I could make but I will see if we can get the donations to get an upgrade as the IP.Board 2.2.x and higher includes this by default.

Also is live topic a mod?

Logitech Driving Force GT

Hi Guys.

I just bought the DFGT. And i installed the drivers from the Logitech Website.
But my accelerator pedal is just going mad. And is always on full power. I calibrated it but that doesn't work. What can i do?

Ivo Simons · May 7, 2009

I get it. I need to use the logitech profiler. How do you guys have your wheel setup?
I have him on 900 but it doesn't work good. I need to make a full turn to make a small turn.

Abdul Al-Amry · May 7, 2009

Ivo two things you need to change:

- In the Profiler the wheel rotation(Everyone has a preference mine is set at 360)
- In the game setup change the steering lock. Depending on track, set it to a higher number for twisty tracks like Macau and set it to a lower number for tracks like Brno.

Play with these settings until you find one you are comfortable using. You dont really have to use the whole 900 degress especially with the modern cars. .

My Settings mostly are
Wheel Rotation: 360
Steering lock: 27

Oke thanks i will take a look.

I'm back again...

I just noticed that I have been bumped down to a registerd member and I guess it is that I have not been very active for a while (working in France with limited acces to computors), Do I get to be a Racing Club member:skywalker: again when I start to become more active again?
By the way I'm glad to be home again looking in to the forum.:victory:

Bram Hengeveld · May 8, 2009

Hi mate, yes after 30 days, people are removed from the club if they havent logged in in the mean time... Just reapply and we fix it again

Good to see you!

Ivo Simons · May 8, 2009

That worked. But what do you guys have at the Force Feedback? High/Low? 100% or 200%?

Abdul Al-Amry · May 8, 2009

Set the FFB on Low or Medium. For the FFB strenght depends how big ur arms are lol.

If u set it too high u will be losing time when racing as u are fighting the wheel. If u set it too low then you might be oversteering without getting enough feedback from the wheel. Hope this helps.

James Yates · May 8, 2009

I run 540 rotation with 18 deg lock ingame, 900 and 30 (28 is the max?) is the same ratio as that, and pretty close to real life i believe.

Ivo Simons · May 8, 2009

Did you change anything else in the profiler? Like damper?
