    Jakers038 got a reaction from PlayStation 2 in Games with normal everyday non-sport cars?   
    While games like Need for Speed, Forza, Burnout Paradise,etc. are fun, they mostly lack one type of cars, those that consist the huge majority of cars in the world - everyday cars.
     
    Obviously they are not as fast and interesting to most gamers, so that's the reason why there's so little of them, but for example even after 15 or so years I still remember driving the Peugeot 206 (a bit stronger engine, but still counts) from Underground 2, a game which also has a Ford Focus (and it's not the sporty SVT version) and an Audi A3 (this one did have a sport engine).
     
    How many games are there that have cars like the BMW's E46 sedan (non-M), the E90, E39 or E38, the Mercedes C W203, Honda Accord, VW Passat or Jetta, Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 307 or 407, Audi A4, Seat Leon, Renault Megan and Laguna? These are just some of cars that in their mid range have engines from 120 to 160hp, some have even more, like the E46 330i, which is not a sport edition of the car and has the same beautiful and elegant appearance of other stock engined ones, but with around 230hp and top speed of 250km/h, which makes it anything, but a boring car.
     
    Currently the only way I know to experience these cars in games is either 1. Gta V mods (and even among them you're not likely to find most of these cars, at least not in good quality) and 2. Low quality addons for clunky feeling games, City car driving, Euro truck simulator (fine for trucks, but no so much for cars), maybe BeamNG and maybe something I'm forgetting.
     
    Are there any other more decent options that I'm not aware of?

    Jakers038 got a reaction from Haro in From i5 3450 to R5 3600, how big of a difference?   
    Thank you very much, you probably saved me from hundreds of dollars of damage I'd do on my own.
     
    Anyway I already own a WMR VR set, so I guess that this combo of the Ryzen 3600 and a 1080Ti would be amazing in comparison with what I have now with the old I5 and a RX 470 4gb and 8gb ddr3 RAM, can't wait to test it out.

    Jakers038 got a reaction from BiG StroOnZ in Any important difference between these two 1tb hdd's?   
    I checked userbenchmarks and apparently the Barracuda had a better sustained writing speed and much better mixed IO speed, whatever that is, while everything else is more or less the same, so I guess Barracuda it is. https://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Seagate-Barracuda-1TB-2016-vs-Toshiba-P300-1TB/3896vs3589

    Jakers038 got a reaction from OrionFOTL in PSU output vs draw.   
    One, or maybe even several, websites from my country (Serbia) have "effective power" (i'll shorten it to EP) written in characteristics of PSU's and this EP is always less by some 80-ish percent than what the PSU has in it's name, for example in the case of a Raidmax 500XT, a 500W PSU, it says that it has a EP of just 400W.
     
    On the other hand, I've heard somewhere that you don't get less Watts by having a smaller efficiency, but instead you get for example 500W as you should, but more, for example 600W, is drawn from the wall.
     
    So is that "effective power" just something a noob marketer made up or do you really need to get more than a 500W psu if you want to achieve solid 400 or 450W?
