help about a new system for gp4

@Nick, i surely want to buy an external videocard, but my favorite one is an nvidia and not radeon

@Arnaud, thank you once again for the explanation and for the tool. I'll give it a go, if i have everything up and running again. Sadly i have to wait until tuesday next week, because then there will be a check up which parts of the pc are damaged and then i can handle everything.

With pleasure, Jurgen! Hope that you will sort things out soon or that you will find a new config for a cheap price with tese informations (still good to know that 3 or 2 years old Intel proc. are still the best )

i hope so too, Arnaud. Btw, it's nice to be a part of this great gpg community. A big thank you to everyone who tried to help me

ah then have a look at the gigabyte or msi versions from the nvidia cards, you spend a little more but they are much better then normal one

Does this do the same thing as the 4GB patch tool that is used for rFactor exe's?

Not exactly, but that's the same idea : this one is to bypass the 2Go size file limit for 32bit systems, the one for rFactor is to bypass the 4Go size file limit for 64bit systems.

When I tried to use this program, CSM threw an error saying that I had an unusable modified EXE, how do I get around this?

@ nileblackflame

I've got the same problem. Has anybody a solution?

this is the system i'm thinking about to buy and all i want to know is, would it be possible to play GP3 and GP3 2k aswell with these specs?


PCSM Haswell Gaming Machine PL – 4th Gen i5 – 8 GB RAM – 1 TB HDD – GeForce GTX 760

Elite Tower ATX, 600W Corsair 80 Plus Power Supply, Mainboard MSI Intel B58 Chipset, CPU Intel Core i5-4570 (4x 3.2 GHz), 8 GB DDR3 Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 – 2 GB, 1000 GB, Double Layer DVD, Gigabit-LAN, USB 3.0, 6 Channel High Definition Audio, Win 7 home premium 64 bit


P.S. the result of the pc crash is, that i've lost all my cars wads from the seasons 1967 - 2014, a huge amount of f1 photos (10 gb), all gp4 tracks and track packages, all the files of the seasons 1991 - 2010 for gp4, all f1c mods and other stuff for f1c, photoshop, paintshop pro and a lot of different programs. The pc crash destroyed my internal hdd and the 3 TB external backup hdd. Now i'm feeling lost and my heart is bleeding. So many lost work

That is horrible news mate. I'm so sorry.

thank you Vladimir, i have to start from the beginning again

So sorry to hear that

Drop me a pm if you need anything.

thank you very much for the offer Toby, i'll do, if i have a new pc

Damit ist GP3 als auch GP3 2k spielbar.

Intel hat in dieser Woche die fünfte Generation ihrer Prozessoren Präsentiert. Die werden mit sicherheit in den nächsten Wochen bestellbar sein. Falls du noch warten kannst, dann warte auf die neue Generation! Du weißt ja wie schnell Hardware alt wird, deshalb sollte man nie Hardware kaufen, welche schon alt ist. Die GTX 760 ist auch schon zwei Generationen alt. Die GTX 960 ist frisch präsentiert worden.

Meine Empfehlung:

Intel 5th Gen i5
minimum 8 GB RAM
Geforce GTX 960

danke Tommy, ich weiß, dass es nicht sehr gut ist ältere Harware zu nehmen. Aber erstens dauert mir das alles zu lange und zweitens hab ich leider nicht die Kohle um mir die besten und neuesten Sachen anzuschaffen

bei den Prozessoren wird es auch noch etwas dauern denke ich. Die GTX 960 soll wohl ab dem 22.01 Verfügbar sein. Preislich wird da denke ich kein großes Unterschied sein.

Die GTX 760 aus deinem vorgeschlagenen PC ( ich gehe mal davon aus, dass du das Angebot vom PC Spezialist meinst), kostet ca. 200 €. Die GTX 970 kostet ca. 300 €. Ich denke mal, dass die 960 sich dazwischen ansiedeln wird.

Hi Guys !!!!

Never forget to make back-up ( External HD ).

Evandro ( Brazil )

That's my new pc from next week on :

MB Gigabyte GA H97 HD3, ATX Thermaltake 630W Berlin 80 Plus, CPU Intel Core i5 4690 3,5 GHz Socket 1150 , CPU Fan Freezer Xtrem Rev.2 775/AM2, Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11, Samsung SSD 2,5" 840 EVO SATA3 250GB, SEAGATE ST2000DM001 HDD 3,5" SATA3 2TB, Samsung DVD SATA SH-S224DB, Gigabyte Nvidia Gforce GTX 760 2GB PCIe 3.0, Win7 professional 64 bit

@Tommy, ich hab jetzt alles was ich brauche

@Evandro, i've made a backup on an external hd, but the hd was destroyed, too

Thats one heck of a killing pc i hope you will have a lot of fun with it!!

Sad to hear about your loss. I would say "ask quickslick" but...


You may consider having a NAS for you backups : independant, secure, easy to install RAID system and not that expensive for domestic use.
