Good review. Note that the PC version of ACC is at 1.8 with tire changes and on PS5 it is still at 1.7. This will make some difference in the FFB. I have ACC on PC and PS5 and before version 1.8, I almost didn't notice the difference.

Be interesting to re-compare if/when the console version goes from 1.7 10 to ver 1.8, like the PC version is now.

Just yesterday I did the same acc test on pc vs ps5 at home. my steering wheel is the TGT. With the same settings except the strength that on pc has to be lowered above 80 to be equal to 100 strength on ps5. I was testing almost 3 hours in batches of 30 minutes alternating all the time from PC to Ps5. I agree with everything that is talked about in the video, the sensations and the information that arrives at the wheel is better on PC, the sensations are better. for ps5 the feeling is more linear without so many nuances. once well used to both platforms the lap time at the end of the 3 hours was practically the same.

Just starting out… from a newbie… your channel has helped me so much… at this point I’m not making final decisions on upgrades until I check in with your great reviews… Thank you!!

This is an awesome video. It’s the kinda stuff nobody else does but is important to so many when making the decision of what to buy. Nice job Will 👍🏻

Great video! ... side note at 11:02ish you said your running the FULL 100nm 🤣🤣 that would be a wrist breaking wheelbase. It made laugh but I knew what you meant lol. I do love seeing these kind of unbiased comparisons thanks for sharing your experience with us

Wauww this is really great!!!! I am on Ps5 and was wondering about this. Thank you for doing this

Great video. Definitely answering a question I've asked. I know PC users claimed the 1.8 update changed their force feedback experience for the better. Unfortunately PS5 hasn't received the ACC 1.8 update yet. It would be awesome if you could do a little update to this video if it does. Thanks for the great content.

Great video Will. I rencently switched from ps4 to PC with my G29 and honestly it was night and day. It feels so much better on PC.

Kudos. Had tried on both platforms, it is as what you said: the finer details are missing still, but the strength is there

I use the Fanatec GT DD Pro with loadcell and Boost kit, and though I'm primarily a Gran Turismo fan, I do play ACC and iRacing as well. I own ACC on both, and agree completely with everything you said. I have managed to get my PS5 times down to within 0.4-5 seconds on the PS5, but yeah, the fidelity simply isn't there. The only real difference is I only have the GT wheel at present, and run an old Threadripper 2950x, 64gb DDR4 3200, 2080TI... plan to upgrade at the end of the year when the Ryzen 9 7000 series CPU's and Nvidia 40 series GPU's are available. Great video, very focused and on point. Great job as usual Will! Also, I'd love to be able to have just a short DM/whatever with you if possible. Thanks, Kev.

Went from PS5 to PC and used quite a while to get up to speed. But def worth the grind getting into. Still PS5 is more than good enough if on a budget 😊

A fanatec wheelbase settings would've been very helpful not just the In Game ffb settings as this would really indicate how good the overall game ffb for both platforms. if anyone is interested, heres my wheelbase csl dd settings for baseline comparison as a starting point.

1.8 console update. Many of us are waiting patiently with building excitement. We all have only 9 days left till the major release what will change ACC gameplay a lot. I’m from London UK and have been racing AC and ACC on PS4 and PS5. I’ve raced over 1000+ hours on AC and over 1000+hrs on ACC PS4 version. Now building up big time on PS5. Joined a league, 10TENTH RACING COMMUNITY,fantastic! True addict, aren’t you? Since release of ACC I had many serious problems with the game. And with every new update, with release of PS5 console, with new ACC console version I have felt a lot of new optimistic expectations followed by disappointment and a letdown from game developers. I’ve been lucky to always have a good FFB on my T300 Ferrari Alcantara edition and now DD1, but there were other problems what took a lot of nerve and patience. It’s hard to remember all the issues but there are few what stand out to me. For example not able to join multiplayer and the proposed fix was to delete my carefully selected 300 racing friends from AC and ACC. Of course I refused to do that and kept waiting till issue was fixed. That was a big wait but I used time to practice my racing in single player. Another problem is crashing Career. It crashed on three occasions trying to complete career endurance race of 3hours non stop racing. It crashed twice somewhere in last leg. Other day I completed the race, crossed finish line and while checking lap times game crashed not saving my career endurance progress. I was fuming! Another issue we all experienced was game simply crashing midrace, it happened a lot. So annoying and was makings me really angry when I had a good race. Then replay save crash needs to be looked at. Even now after all possible updates on PS5 software and ACC PS5 version updates I am experiencing game crashes, some DD1 disconnects, poor visuals as shading under cars, cars flickering. Other minor game bugs - Pit entrance notice issue, not able to use mapped buttons to look left/right as I can on AC version, no in cockpit turn indicators and headlighs LED’s. Sound issues after watching replay and rejoining track. One occation I had cockpit view flickering in career race, there was no flickering from outside view. Many gamers have poor FFB and other issues with game. The most major is game crashing and disconnects while racing leagues Championships. Over 2 years time since ACC console release game is not in a perfect state yet, but it’s playable and enjoyable. I wish there was more communication and a HELPING HAND between Kunos and UntoldGames who develops console version now. I wish thee was more communication from 505games what is distributor’s of console ACC. And I believe we console players deserve an APOLOGY from 505 games and Kunos for a big letdown because I believe game is not completed, it’s got many problems and is like in a beta version. We PS5 players are lucky to have both versions available to play side by side on PS5. I switch between PS5 and PS4 version because PS5 lobbies has small attendance numbers. With 1.8 version PS5 and Xbox UntoldGames has to nail it. No excuses, it has to be perfection. Watching official Kunos ytube channel I learned Marcos, Aris and team still have that passion, they put a lot of effort developing PC 1.8 version what is a massive overhaul of ACC what changed already great game to something fascinating and they are proud of it. Would be shame if UntoldGames would do a poor job with console 1.8 version and drop all that KUNOS effort down in a mud. We don’t know what to expect precisely, announcement stated upgraded tyre model and 400hz + different liveries? We will see. Researching PC 1.8 update, numerous patch notes and reviews I learned about UPDATED rain visuals, rain tyre handling, rain track limits, cars BOP’s, reworked replay camera angles, mist and dew conditions, car night lights, bmw fuel consumption,there is so much more. PC 1.8 version is always updated. So which 1.8 version + latest update we console gamers will receive is not known yet. But it will change the game for sure.

Great video as usual but as others have said, a bit premature given 1.8 will be arriving on console soon. Would be interesting to compare when both platforms are on the same version of the game.

PC is just a beast on its own level, thanx for the video Will…I felt the difference immediately switching to PC. Robotic feeling is the perfect way to describe it! Keep up the good work Will and crew!!!

Thx fer being honest in the video n not turning it into a master race thing. I have both a PS5 n a high end PC. I'm not any faster on PC than I am on Console. I understand that consoles dont match up to what PCs r capable of but its also a fraction of the price. Honestly, my GPU alone cost more than a PS5... What do we all really expect out of this equation?

Thanks for the review. Please compare them again now with the DD+. I think the QR2 and a year's worth of game updates may have closed the gap? FullForce implementation could be the game changer as well. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, I'm just hoping that show is in the near future. My DD+ is in the mail. It's replacing a DD1 on PS5. Is the difference between console and pc worth buying a whole gaming PC setup these days?

God dammit! This is so typical.. Last week I upgraded from csl elite to the Podium dd f1. Feeling disappointed about how bad ACC is on ps4(pro), specially after it turned out that the ps4 version of acc wasn’t receiving the same update, sooo I went on and got me a PC as well while I waited. I then built a new rig using the exact same measurements as the Px-1, only I built it using wooden beams, painted black. Costed me like 100$, and there is absolutely no flex whatsoever. First test drive today, and I have been smiling like a 5 year old for hours before being able to take a brake. I absolutely LOVE the feeling of immersion from the upgraded force feedback, not to mention the vast improvement in torque when going from csl elite’s 7nm peak to 20nm peak, using the podium wheelbase. But then I get this KZfaq notification on my phone, leading me to this video. I usually really enjoy your content, but today I actually wished I didn’t watch. Now I’m sitting in the shower, crying, screaming and banging my head against the wall while I regret buying the podium, instead of getting me a Csl DD with its 100nm!!🤯@11:00😉

I don’t think this is necessarily correct. I played ACC on PC and my PS5 this weekend… it literally felt the same. I did not compare lap times, I will try that and see.

Could you redo this comparison since the update v1.8 is out on the ps5 now?

I just want to say that the ffb is currently bugged on xbox series and ps5, after the “patch” last Monday. It makes the whole ffb less detailed than it was before this “patch”.

Where was this a week ago? Did you miss the first update thrill ride? 😂😂👍 Liking the way you've cut you picture into the video. Looks great. This is a great idea for a video btw.

Do you think the difference is down to consoles being on build 1.7xx where as PC is 1.8?

Acc on pc is amazing. Tried yesterday the new dlc, that Porsche cup car with no tc is a beast. So fun to drive.

im just happy that people on console can experience a good proper sim experience :)

It is a real shame that the PS5/SeriesX versions of ACC are not running an identical engine to the PC version. A big chance for cross-play has been missed.

As always great video 💪 Just noticed on other user videos ACC got update on ps5 and 400hz setting is present so just wonder are details improved and if how they fifteen now days.

I'm not gonna lie to you the way its set for ps5 it feels so so good even when I compare to pc. Actuallt when I switched back to pc I thought there was an issue. Idk what it is about the console ffb but it feels heavy and I love it.

good video, i think me and many others would appreciate a review of the new versions of the moza racing pedals. please do this review

Would also be cool to have someone you work with set this up in a blind study fashion (after 1.8 is released on ps5), so then you come in and test each one separately without being told what platform you are playing on. Would require the PC version to be set to 60fps output and probably some minor graphical tweaks, but could stay at 400hz polling rate.

Could also be fact your locked to 60fps on consoles we're as pc cab get well over 100 fps I noticed it coming from wrc 10 on ps5 to the pc fps makes big difference because on wrc 10 I was doing stage on ps5 and I went pc and knocked 3sec off my time on 1st run on pc

Going from Assetto Corsa (Original) on console to PC on a G29 I could feel the difference even on the gear driven wheel though that game didn't get the best support on Console. Currently Assetto Corsa Comp is part of PS Extra which is nice way to try if you want and only have a PS5 but also currently in Steam sale is it on special if you have a capable PC.

I just went from xbox to pc this weekend and I didn't notice a difference on ACC with a G920. The big difference was the update that I couldn't get on my older xbox.

I’m currently on PS5 and Series X. I am really tempted to get a decent PC for sim racing and Flight Sim 🤔

Someone who creates sim racing videos for a living should be more informed to know that the PC version of ACC is updated to 1.8.12 whereas PS5 currently is running 1.7 and the 1.8 update for ACC was a HUUUGE update which changed everything and people had to completely change their setups and how they drove the cars probably should've waited until both platforms are running the same version but thats just me. Also the pressures of your car was all over the show not even optimum tire pressure some not even reaching 27 psi you want to be aiming for 27.5/7 pressures in this game its the first thing you have to learn without that basic 101 you wont reach peak performance on track and your car will feel like ass, would be nice if you could get a some good setups for the chosen car and a track which does these types of testing that way you will know the subtle differences and do some proper laps with the same equipment that way youll have a good understanding of the differences.

Ps5 is ver 1.7 pc is ver 1.8. Many Changes were made to improve ffb in 1.8. So this comparison is a waste of time till 1.8 arrives

LITERALLY THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. For us poor folk on console

Hey thanks for the video. Could you post your wheelbase (gt dd pro) settings you were using in the video on ps5 please. I’m using the ones fanatac posted on their website. Also couldn’t leave my gain on 100 after the update. Wheel was way too heavy. Using 60 now without clipping. Keep up your great vids. Grtz from Belgium.

The nice thing is, in theory, an update can possibly eliminate any and all discrepancies between PC and Console game play.

More and more makes me want to invest in a gaming PC or Laptop. Had the fortune to play modded AC on a gaming laptop with refreshed graphics upgrades and in VR was blown away at how much better a driving experience it is than on TV or a PS5. Kinda regret buying the PS5 now.

On the Nurburgring I would diliberately drive the carousel badly to see what sort of feedback I got when ever I got new hardware or updates.

Boostkit really gives a massive boost. 11:00 - "Full 100 Nm" ^^,

good video - the findings didn't come as a surprise to me though. I like the camera bit with you driving with a nice transparent background. Something maybe quite cosmetic but intrigued me... as a content creator for a very specific target audience like sim racers, do you think your video thumbnails really do matter (i.e. thumbnail can be affecting a better view rate)? I can see a trend in the mainstream youtube and how almost all thumbnails follow the same pattern. However, we all know sim racing is a bit of a special cookie with its own rules or quirks ;)

Just picked up ACC in the ps store sale for £12 with a free ps5 upgrade 👌🏻 happy days

A similar comparison to this, using the DD1/DD2 on consoles and comparing them to PC would be informative

I've been doing lap after lap of different circuits and I'm consistently 2 seconds a lap slower than the usual PC ACC youtube streamers. I'm on PS5. I've got my wheel dialled in quite well and car setups as best suited as I can and its always the same. No matter what I try it's always 2 seconds on any circuit. DD pro, porsche gt3 podium wheel and v3 pedals.

I have both pc and PS5 versions of the sim. Using the same Thrustmaster T-GT wheel and LCM pedals I noticed the PC version had more fidelity but the PS5 had stronger default ffb. Even setting the ffb to 100 on the PC it still wasn't as strong as the PS5 version. I feel like this muddys the water when it comes to the fidelity on the PS5. My lap times with default aggressive setup on both mediums are almost the same.

Just got into Sim Racing on ps5 with a G29. I know its not the greatest wheel but research told me it was good starter wheel. I starting to throw down a little consistency but have yet to complete a full consistent lap according to the log in the upper right corner. What is the best settings for using a g29 in ACC on ps5. Thanks love the channel!

Great video, I use PS5 with Fanatec Podium/DD1 Wheelbase, mostly for dirt rally 2.0 but ACC is my go to track sim. I love it and the fidelity feels incredible to me, I'm a little surprised by the refresh rate being different when the USB 3.0 bus is obviously the same as you'd get speed wise on a high end PC, so must be down to software. People question sometimes why I don't PC sim race but budget is an important factor with high end PCs being 3-4 times more expensive than the £450 RRP of a PS5, I also feel console titles are way more reliable and therefore less stress when sim racing, on more than one occasion I've won some local motorclub dirt rally club championships because my closest competitor had Windoze crash him out (no restarts allowed), where as I get 100% reliability. Cheers!

This should be done once the console versions are up to par with the PC version on both series x and ps5 we have nothing but issues since the update many also lose all FFB during races. It's just a hot mess through and through.

This video and ACC + DLC currently on sale in Steam pretty much pushed me to getting ACC for PC than my PS5. Now I just need my GT DD Pro to be delivered.

Good video Will, can you share your wheel base settings?

thanks alot for that nice and informative video, May I ask you if its possible to share the wheel Settings you have changed to get a good experience with ACC on the PS5? Thanks in advance and have a nice one ;)

Thank you so much for this 👏👏

Thank you for this, as I’m still holding off on a PC and am dying to get into sim racing but was unsure about the quality when switching from PS5 to PC. Knowing that the wheel feels better on PC makes me want to pull the trigger on a rig I can play until PC parts come down in price.

It would have been interesting to see how it felt on PC if you dropped the PC FFB refresh rate down to more closely match what the PS5 can do.

Mate can u do one with graphics compare especially with the 1.8 update. And maybe show what a pc can do with reshader mods etc

I run 2.18.3s on series x. I am excited to get the 1.8 update when it comes but I agree no matter what they do if the console stays at less than 400hz it will still be lacking compared to pc. I've played on both but run on console normally as my computer is dead. I love this sim regardless where I race

gread video as always! i`m curios on your simucube setup, do you run the same amount of road effects or any at all?

Great video and comments here. I am seriously considering to give ACC a try since things in GT7 are still a mess. I use a T-GT wheel and T-LCM pedals. Planning on the PS5 version since it does not require a big initial investment… after that is all goes well, migrate your a PC. Thoughts?

Have you guys redone this now that ps5 has 400 refresh rate on the wheel?

Surprised you weren’t getting clipping with the FFB on 100/100? I have to run mine on 70 in game and 75 on base otherwise it clips, especially in places like Craner Curves.

Any reason you did not adjust the dynamic dampening to zero as you did with the PC?

Great review. Interesting to do the same test with the latest version?

I'm enjoying it on PC and PS5. Base game on console. All DLC on PC. It's cheaper. I normally just have a quick blast on console. After playing something else.

Great video as always! I would really love to see a GT7 physics comparison to ACC or RF2. everyone is calling GT7 a sim. But is it really? Thanks!!

Just bought a G923 few weeks ago for the PS5. I've been playing GT7, how does ACC compare?

Very curious as to the console FFB refresh rate. Wasn't able to find any documentation either.

Nice video. Also, it would be very interesting to have a similar force feedback comparison on same game same base but different wheel (like the original dd pro wheel vs the porsche wheel vs other fanatec one). How does they compare on force feedback aspect and feeling, as they are different size, weight, shape...

in any other sim if you drive with so much understeer your fronts will be on fire within a lap :D

Hi, love your vids, I have the ps5 version with DD pro and love it, not had the pleasure of trying the pc version. Just curious if this the ps5 version is after the latest patch which made a big difference and also noticed the gain needs to be down between 50-60 to get all the detail but still retain ffb strength, 100 had alot of clipping for me. Keep up the great work

Ps5 console maximum ffb rate is 250hz. I don’t know if ACC uses this 250hz in game on console. But the Fanatec manual says when the base is in ps5 mode it’s refreshing at 250hz. If the game is running lower rate then it’s whatever the developer has set

if there is a difference, than its a programmers decision, not a problem of missing power.

May I ask you, at the time you’ve recorded this vid what screen/monitor you played on. I’m trying to find the best screen/monitor when racing on NLR GT-Track and my ps5 Thanks in advance ✌🏻

What is the red wheel mount you are using on the DD pro?

great review.. thanks!

Hi,on the video was very interesting,and I’m also curious if telemetry on that wheel (lap time ecc.) works also on PS5?Do you remember it?Thanks

What wheel settings are you running on the PS5? I have been tinkering with those as well but difficult to know exactly what the best combination of settings is

I'm just looking forward to receiving my GT DD Pro from fanatec. Big time Forza fan and Gran Turismo etc.

Love the vids, where do the red mounts for your wheel base come from? I got the DD pro with a next level fgt rig and the angle of the wheel is too flat for me I need some pitch adjustment. I can’t find those red bracket/mounts anywhere :). Thanks!!

Why didnt you put in your fanatec settings?

I have no idea how the ffb feels in AC, but those understeer and missed apex could have been caught by sight without the need for any other cue.

Hi Will, love your videos, I'm often showing people your set up, so they don't think I'm nuts for the $1000 I've spent on mine🤣 That said, I've lately been shopping projectors and noticed you've been using them, have you considered doing a review/tips/tricks/pointers video on buying and installing a projector episode?

nice video, would these settings work well with a basic ThrustMaster t150 or do you have any good settings for that wheel?

Hi Will great video as usual.. Maybe the difference is also that ps5 doesn't have 1.8 update yet that PC has.. Also what settings did you set at wheel base for ps5? And something irrelevant..and also a complain to Kunos.. Because I drive mostly mc720s why the heck has cockpit mirror on board on pc and not on ps5 ? It had it at the beginning of the game and now it's off 😂

Oh man. Your driving on console mercifully reminded me of mine and it’s nice to know perhaps the hardware has at least some responsibility there. I did the math once and the input lag on console translates to between something like 4 and 12 meters distance depending on your speed. So, on slow corners aim 4m “too soon” and even earlier on fast corners and you’ll find hitting apexes much easier. (I was using lap guides to find breaking points but could never break as late as I saw in the videos and the math explained it…. When I stopped to think about it after a few months 😅) Anyway Tl;DR: I think input lag is the #1 discrepancy between pc and console and I feel like it’s very likely you’ll find most of the difficulty lies there rather than the ffb fidelity. The only solace is that you race against others dealing with the same issue so it’s an even playing field at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Been following you through your journey since early covid and dig your work. Great vid ! Edit : those numbers were for input lag in multiplayer servers. It’s still there in single player but a bit less (still a lot more than on pc I hear)

Was this video recorded before or after the update on the 21st which improved the FFB on CSL Elite and DD Pro? Edit- Specifically the update for consoles on the 21st..

I have just one question: what is the price of that PC rig Vs the price of the PS5… It will be interesting to see if we are really comparing apples with apples

Great vid. How’d you get the wheel and ps5 to sync up. I got a weird slight delay on my g923 n ps5.

Force Feedback is very much a "flavor" kind of thing. Everyone likes it a little different. Some may say the feeling is better on PS5 compared to PC, others will favor the PC. Even with the same exact settings.

Just wondering for Fanatec DD Pro users, as i am pretty new to Fanatec. For any wheel to get smooth on and off the base, can you do anything with the provided grease from the V3 pedals? And if so, what to do? I have the DD Pro and Formula 2.5 wheel on a Playseat Challenge but have to remove the wheel dialy so i can fold the playseat. Thanks for any tips

As someone who can't/ won't afford a PC, but has a ps5, would I be disappointed with acc ffb? I'm loving gt7 and how is ffb feels, and I know it's apples and oranges comparing gt and ac. But will the ffb feel as polished on acc ps5? I remember being very disappointed in wrc and dirt 2.0 ffb feel after playing a lot of gt sport on ps4. Just upgraded to the premium version dd pro(from a t300rsgt) and am looking to get the most out of it, but don't want to get let down by the ffb quality.

I've tested 3 bases on Ps5 and PC, I found the Ps5 was far superior on strength and giving information on all of them.

ACC 1.8 update is coming to consoles end of September. 29/9/2022 Interesting if FFB will change.

Love that beamer, got on dedicated for gaming

Hello. Was this test made with version 1.8? It has same 400hz frequency too at consoles too.

Did I miss something? You mentioned you’d talk about wheel settings and I didn’t see them in the video? I can see a link for GT7 settings in description but not ACC. Anyone got good recommendations for DD Pro settings for ACC on PS5?

I haven't played the PC version. Running the ps5 version and my t300 feels like there's almost no feedback at all. Maybe it's the wheel, but I don't have the PC version to compare the same wheel.

Hey Will/boosted. Would you mind sharing the settings on the base when you are playing PS?
