Some advise

I am wanting to get a new wheel as my G25 is starting to play up.

I am looking at three different ones

First is the Fanatec CSR wheel Package at $699 ( peddles,wheel and gear shifts.

Second is the Fanatec CSR Elite at $1199 (peddles,wheel and gear shifts).

Third is the Thrustmaster T500 RS Wheel $725 + the Ferrari F1 Addon $298 and the Gearbox $298

What is your opinions on these 3 wheels your feedback would be much appreciated.

Details of where I am purchasing from are as follows.

Well I've taken the plunge and will be going with the Fanatec CSR package at just under $700 ( they going to give me a discount though which is nice) I already have one of their Racing Stands on order which will arrive next week.

Will do mate this along with my recently upgraded pc to a I7 x3820 and next week a brand new GTX680 means ill have a decent racing rig again. Just need to justify the extra two lcds to the wife lol

Nooo I have just been informed due to being sold in out in amercia I have to wait until mid to the end of april until my GTX680 arrives Ah well Ill upgrade from the CSR package to the CSR elite for now.

What's the 680 have that the 590 doesn't?

Its smaller uses less power has the new form of Vsync which is amazing. Ive only just installed it and still setting it up along with a new wheel stand which arrived this arvo.

I'll take my triples over Vsync.

The 680's also have a MUCH better multisampling antialiasing settings aswell, which mean with high resolutions (triple screens) you lose MUCH less fps with a much higher AA setting.

Yeah what he said lol

guys after running the card all night last night ( no sleep) its performance is amazing. I can't test its triple screen options as I only have one but as above it works much better than Nvidia cards in the past and you can do it finally with just the one card.

Iain, the 680 is supposed to allow 3 screen support on one card now, just like eyefinity.
