Hi there all,
I'm in my late 30's and just got into PC gaming really... had a try when COD-MW2 first come out but i was rubbish on keys so left the game in the draw :(

Well it was a youtube clip of dirt2 that got my hooked so bought the game followed shortly by a logitech steering wheel then that was followed by... well a complete costly build really and can safely say im hooked on driving games now...F1, DIRT1+2,GRID,FUEL,NEED FOR SPEED-H.P and R-FACTOR.
I have three ASUS VW246H monitors powered by a ASUS ROG HD5870 MATRIX..

Im loving the forum already from just looking at others builds and Eyefinity set-up's...

Looking forward chatting and learning from you all...

Merry Christmas,
Jay.

There are some great driving games, I loved the DIRT games for sure. Driving in Eyefinity rocks! Welcome to the forum.

If you're still after some great driving games, GTR Evolution and... well, pretty much any SimBin title. They might not be as pretty as some of the newer games, but they're far more accurate. ;)

Hi there.

I too am in my 30's, albeit late!, I instantly took to Eyefinity, so much, that I went for a six screen config after about 3 months of having 3 monitors, I had the itch to improve!!!!, I play Hawx a lot and am just learning Msf-x and so the over all immersion from six screens has a profound affect, that would not get me back to using anything less. I can tell you, I had one severe hard time from the missis when I bought my Hd5870 E6, hit the roof? she almost launched through it, she's settled down a little, well, that was until I bought 6 monitors, now she thinks I'm taking over the lounge a little ( lot!), I am gutted that I missed out a good few years when it comes to pc's, but it's certainly easy to get back into it, and what fun!.

This is a great forum, I have seen some great ideas in here.

I'l upload pictures soon, I have a lot of work to do to tidy up my desk, it's a disgrace, but work in progress......as always
