If you’ve got an NVIDIA 30 series GPU for sim racing, you’ve probably got enough power unless you’re running a really out-there setup.īut even then, check this video from Will Ford: Will Ford’s 65″ 4k sim racing setup look outrageously good I’ve seen the 3080s begin to throttle at GPU temps of 66c – so 77c will drastically reduce that GPU’s life. The card wasn’t short on power, it was thermal throttling. We investigated using GPU-Z and found that the GPU core temperature was hitting 77c in the replay! This would put the VRAM temperature very much in the 100c realm, possibly higher. Even running triples, this card should be able to handle extremely high framerates in iRacing, with all the settings pretty high if not on max, without stuttering. This article was somewhat inspired by my good friend Geoff who reported stuttering in iRacing during a race session with me. GPU by best FPS in iRacing GPU power, efficiency, and temperature. Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 Trinity OC 24GB GDDR6XĮVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING Let’s go to the results first, and if you want to read the methodology, continue reading! Otherwise, I recommend looking at some of the GPU deals on Overclockers or at the moment! GPU Our tests: What’s the best GPU for sim racing? Spoiler: a 4090 is huge overkill for iRacing, for now.

I own most flavors of 30 series NVIDIA GPUs, so you’d think then that I still run a 3090 FE in my sim racing PC? Well having just installed a Zotac 4090 to update this article, clearly, the answer is no. And for sim racing, do you actually need the latest flagship NVIDIA GPU? The answer, in my humble opinion, is a firm no – especially not for iRacing and especially not if you understand the key element for all GPU performance: cooling.

Weird flex: I’ve tested and run most GPUs for sim racing – there’s some nice stuff in this pile!Ī new GPU ( and sim racing PC for that matter!) is a big investment. But miners are seeing higher risk in the current climate meaning you can pick up a new 3090 FE on eBay for £1000, or a used one for £800. A £1300 (MSRP) 3090 RTX FE was, at peak demand, priced close to ~£2600 on eBay. However – that markup is steadily dropping on eBay.
Not that the manufacturers would acknowledge this, as NVIDIA reported an increase in GPU production in 2021! Scalpers have been very successful at adding as much as 100% markup over MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) for some cards. Thanks to a significant drop in the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, a small window of opportunity has opened for gamers to get their hands on a next-generation GPU.įor the last few years, new graphics cards have been in short supply.

What is the best graphics card for sim racing? And, importantly – have you checked the one you already own is actually good enough to run your sim racing software on higher settings already? It might just be getting too hot and stuttering.
