I figured if I was going to buy one I might as well buy a new one so its not ragged out in any way, thanks for the link. DO you know if I can test my computer by using the keyboard?

$249 for a G29. Jeez. Better be next to new. New ones are $275 on Amazon. Exact wheel I'm buying whenever I decide to bite on the game.

[Bob Hubbard]

Your correct ... The 275 on amazon is new over reconditioned ... https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Driv.../dp/B00Z0UWWYC

Right click on you widows icon and look in your system ..... I just looked at mine and it says I-5 with 8 megs of ram .... So im good so farr ( They require at least an I-3 or better ....Next you look in your device manager and see what video card you have installed ....Mine says G-force 8800 .... Im good .... You need 4200 or better according to Iracing ....

Ok I looked in my system and I have 8 Megs of ram so i am good there and i have an I-3 processor so i am good there but i cant find what video card it has?

The 29 and 920 have the same guts in the wheel. The 29 is PlayStation/PC, the 920 is XBox/PC. I like the 29 better because of the shift light indicator, the look of it, and it's at least $25 cheaper. Only other thing I read is a little more rotation of the wheel in the 920. It also has a stiffer brake pedal, that users and reviewers of the wheel didn't like.

Whats a video card guys? Im not real tech savy...does all desktop computers have them? And how do you get the iracing game on your computer? Do you buy it and download it from somewhere? I dont want to buy a new desktop just for iracing I hope I can find one used that will work...

Pretty sure to get this game to look and act like what you have been seeing on youtube you're going to need more than a standard computer. I can run iracing with computer I have but I have to have the graphics set to where they look like something out of the late 90s. Also if anyone knows how to fix a g27 FFB dead zone I have a wheel and pedals for sale for $100. PM me.

[Bob Hubbard]

Google - g27 racing wheel dead zone

[Bob Hubbard]

From some of what ive read on the g27 wheel the problem your having maybe cause or the design .... You have to remember your playing a game with electronics ... I personally dont like the feel of force feed back .... I tweaked my game so that the wheel just had some resistance .... What works for you may be different ... Its a game and your tweaking the settings to get the feel you like ...

There is a plastic gear that wears out or cracks. I bought it used for $200 last year with a wheel stand pro. The stand goes for about $180 and will fit a g920. Wheel worked fine on asphalt iracing because you were rarely counter steering. I did think it was weird how there was no FFB about 30 degrees each direction from dead center but guess I didn't know any better.

Ok I found out that my video card is HD2400 which I can play the game with out Any glitches but the quality isn't what it could be so I am going to have to upgrade that to get full potential out of it, I ordered a G29 and it will be here Monday but hooked up a PS4 controller to it just to try it out and all I can say is wow, it's going to be fun once I get the wheel. Controller is very difficult to set up and to have any touch with. Thanks for all you help and advice I appreciate it.
