“I just got my Crystal Light...and omg it's fantastic! And I'm using just a 3070, and following Tally Mouse's tips based on my kind of system, I'm getting 55 fps or better on most maps/situations”

“I play DCS on my PCL with a 3080 with decent quality, it feels better than my old G2.”

“I ordered PCL with a 2080 Ti. Lowering render resolution and upscaling will still look better than my Reverb.”

“ I have a 3080 and PCL. It works well enough. Not perfect, but I can maintain 90 fps in iRacing and AMS2 with reasonable graphics.”
