Budget gMotor 2.0 tower

I make this thread mainly as someone asked how my new everyday PC runs GTR2 at 1440p
At the time I had problem replicating best FPS I had previously seen
I was using Process Lasso rather then RunAff I have always used
Returning to RunAff did the trick and results staggered me

Max settings, 2560 ( dynamic res) 2EQx 16x ............ 120fps+ solid :confused:
FRAPS 5 minutes / 3 laps
2019-12-22 17:56:38 - GTR2 Frames: 39625 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 132.083 - Min: 110 - Max: 163 :coffee:
Look how smooth it is, not a jag, I can't get Nvidia to look this good, no flickering either

SETTINGS: CPU 4.1GHGz all cores - VEGA8 1800MHz ( 1250MHz stock )
Runaff enabled all cores
350US TOWER 01 MASTER 4.1GHz.jpg


516AU - 356US - 322EU - 275GBP ...what awesome bang for buck :)

NOTE: That is example of cheapest 3200G build, I spent a bit more on case\psu, storage, motherboard and memory however performance difference would be barely anything if at all

My sophisticated PC :O_o:
max settings @120 not medium ergo besides graphics are much better looking better then my Nvidia card , I have used Intel HD before I know what GTR2 looks like with it


Does your PC run 100 cars maximum detail ?

No one here including me ever said you NEED IT ...I just WANT IT ;)

P.S.
ergo without having to run my gaming tower cost $4,000AU
The power I save when not using late gen simulations or browsing, encoding, burning etc. etc. will eventually pay for my 3200G

By all means put other hardware I was running 100 cars in Athlon / 6800GT days was slideshow
Even SLi 9800GTX in GTR2 rF I remember struggle with perf vs AA AF quality and only single screen !
First really playable maxed out 100 cars for me came with Sandybridge@5GHz and GTX460
(DSR came much later in my GTX970 and you could run 4K 100 cars but not maxxed @120fps that I remember more like 90fps average that my garage shots show in JSGME/OVGME thread)

At that time (GTX460) all focus was online rF2 first builds which I got another GTX460 for SLi

The Athlon and 6800GT cost a S1,000AU, 2500K + 1 GTX460 not much less then add H60 AIO for low temp 5100MHz benching / simming .......... but that is only cpu/gpu/cooling

$500AU now buys the whole thing and runs and looks better then any of the above ...imho

Yeah, AMD APUs rock! 4th gen APUs will use NAVI graphics. That will be another step up.
 
Would never have guessed 3200G runs gmotor so well and nice looking, would have done it sooner
Now only just hit me I could have built Micro
Save $80 on B450 Auros and another $50 on case .....doh ! :coffee: lol
( Only using 2 x sticks ram, 1 x M2, 2 x 2.5" SSD and no discrete card )
 
This is a really interesting threat with your posts Durge Driven.
If i will get a lot of problems with my "new-old-PC" for older Race-Sims only.
4-Core Intel + Geforce 750Ti, try to build a win7 PC at the moment.
The AMD 3200G is the next step possible ( what i cant understand: with onboard grafik ? - Vega8 or so ?)
Or seperate Card ?

Not sure what you are asking

3200G has Vega8 @ 2560 is fine for GPL GTL GTR2 PnG and rFactor

Actually the second tower I only wanted so I didn't have to run a 3900X for everyday day stuff
The fact that the 3200G turned out great for gmotor was a unexpected bonus
The result was good enough I could move 100s of GBs of GPL and old gmotor to the 3200G

I have 43' 4K and 32" 1440p Gsync
The way I setup is all USB run from 15 port hub is the only lead I have to swap to boot either tower
Another Hub lets me switch monitors to either tower

I would not however use 3200G to add Discrete Graphics to run modern titles
Seems bad bang for buck to me 2600X and graphics card would better

I gave the 3200G tower to my sister
Everyday tower is 3400G which comes with Vega11 ( little bit faster )
Main sim tower is 5600X + RTX2080
 
Thanks Durge Driven,
if i understand you correct, the Vega8 is an onboard-card.
Seems false - for laptop for example, but the vega8 is a lot slower than the gtx1050.

3200G = Ryzen AMD and this Systems, the 3400G have Vega11 is a little bit newer, faster, expensive i think.
This are very good informations, because since a lot of years AMD-CPUs seems not the best choice.
And now the Ryzen seems better and cheaper than the Intel-CPUs.
I had a lot of problems with the Radeon GPUs, 5850,6850, 7850 all a way to hot and unstable for GTR2, rF, all GPU are burning.
Will hope in the future for a better choice.

Still using the 3400G for gmotor, finally got around to test on sim rig with new 3440x1440 vs $25 Vega11 :x3: raw image no sharpening.
About heat both 3200G and 3400G barely get warm running 100 cars. 3200G I overclocked both CPU and GPU. 3400G is stock.
