G'day Dave, thanks for reaching out mate. Been a crazy couple of years since we last spoke... Gave up the channel and focussed on working to keep the family afloat. The transport industry was getting way too taxing, time wise, and needed to find something that was good for myself and the family. I bought a mowing franchise Feb last year to try something completely different, but something that would give me the flexibility I've always lacked as an employee. It's been a steep learning curve the last 12 months running my own business, but over time am growing organically where I can go independent and strive on my own. Cost of living is a bitch here in Australia, so the challenges are constantly there. Family is doing well, Pete is 8 now and Ayla already 6... don't blink mate, it goes so fast. Still racing every day, I finished 8th in the championship in the last season of Formula Ford. My pace has really improved the last couple of years and being able to step up to the big guys and actually race has been hugely satisfying. Rain killed it for me though, FF1600 was used as a guinea pig this season and has been torrential rain most of the time. Took the racecraft right out of it, and made it a game of survival. The Aussies are starting to head to the US for Nascar, so peaked my interest to try something else and have been having a ball turning left. A whole new mentality of racing, and a challenge I am really enjoying. Just stepped up to Xfinity last week and found the super speedways some of the best, tense racing I've ever done. Thanks for reaching out mate, it's great to see you have the success you've had with your channel. I still remember the humble "old" days when I raced you in the RUF Cup. Hope all is well with you and your family, chat soon Knackers. 😉

@@GleNRG Man, great to hear you've got your teeth into something. Hopefully see you on track 😁

G'day Jon, apologies for not responding earlier. Was great to catch up and talk about the old times again. Was a great group of people. 👍

Yeah, made this video about 3 years ago now. Have since upgraded the PC and GPU and still love this monitor. If I'd just upgraded the GPU back then, there still would have been a massive CPU bottle neck with the i7 4790.

@@GleNRG not too bad intel cpu especially overclocked still had OK single core performance. Also the highe4the resolution the less the cpu has to do anyway and it's more about the gfx card. Enjoyed ur vid anyway... Keep sim racing 👍

Cheers Mate. 👍

Yep, that's about $6k Aus compared to $1100 aus for the monitor. It fixed the problem at the time, but have since upgraded my PC. Still have the monitor and absolutely love it. 👍

G'day mate, and thanks for the nice comments. It's been a long time since I streamed on Twitch, and I'm sure there have been a lot of changes. I used to use the auto setup in OBS for the twitch settings, seems to work OK. Also used "EposVOX" videos on KZfaq for fine tuning settings, he has some videos that run you through every setting step by step. Happy streaming. 👍

Thanks mate, I sincerely appreciate the nice comment. I'm not making videos any more, I do miss it. Have a good day. 👍

I think at the time I might have stayed with triples with a better PC. I'm still glad I changed, though, as my room is so narrow it just looks a lot better. I still use it every day and don't regret changing to the 49inch. I'm getting the same, if not better immersion as there is no stretch that I was getting on the side monitors. Good luck with your decision. 👍

@@GleNRG Thank you man! I am doing so much research I don't want to spend the money and be stuck with a setup I am unhappy with. Thanks again!

Thanks Bobby. Yeah an upgrade of a GPU to a i74790 would have had minimal results. A GPU in Australia at the time was about 2000AUD dollars and the monitor was around 1000AUD. I've since upgraded the PC, but kept the screen and still love it. Thanks for watching. 👍

Hello rtx4090 ??

Yeah for sure mate. I think this combo is a great all rounder. Whether it be racing, gaming or just day to day stuff, it's perfect.

Cheers mate. Race Hard, Race Clean. 👍

@@GleNRG if only more had that ideology

Thanks mate. I appreciate the nice comment. 👍

No worries mate, glad I could help. 👍

Hehe, he is 7 1/2 now. Growing up very fast. 👍

Thanks David. I appreciate the nice comment. 👍

Thanks mate. I appreciate the nice comment. 👍

Hehe, no that's iracing with the graphics turned right down.

Enjoy mate. It's a solid unit and after 12 months have only need to tighten 2 screws in total after everyday use. I have the pedal plate level as the pedals I have required that. Your pedals may be different, so I would suggest getting them mounted before put tighten the plate completely. Enjoy mate, you'll love it. 👍

Hehe, it's was good in its day. Technology moves so fast though, future proofing will only ever get you so far. 👍 I've upgraded my PC since, and use my old one as a "Home NAS". It is great for that now. 🤣

Thanks James, im glad you enjoyed. It was more about the detail as opposed to the frames. As I said in the video I had to turn off so much detail with all the updates over time. It got to the point where I really started to notice it, which took away from the immersion of the racing. That being said, I had a lot of software running in the background, like Obs Studio, Crew Cief, Racelabs, Streamdeck etc. I have since had a PC update and don't need to worry about frames or detail as much. I still love the monitor though and don't want to change to anything else. Thanks for watching mate. 👍

I think you nailed it Pistol. The triple setup was so finicky, some games like GTA 5 just didn't support it, resulting in massive stretching. I have had the monitorbfornanwhile now and still love using it every day. Thanks for watching. 👍
