PS5 VS. PC! - Is PS5's Force Feedback as Good as PC?

[@Ricky1732]

Good review. Note that the PC version of ACC is at 1.8 with tire changes and on PS5 it is still at 1.7. This will make some difference in the FFB. I have ACC on PC and PS5 and before version 1.8, I almost didn't notice the difference.

[@tech-eddy]

jep... I immediately felt improvements with the big 1.8 Update

[@Schwing27]

Interesting. I wonder when the PS5 will get this new update as well.

[@ZockerDevi]

@@Schwing27 they said once around october/november

[@doggiehowzer]

Yeap - that was when I was doing my comparisons and I didn't find a big difference in all 3 platforms. If anything, the Xbox version was the weakest.

[@rdestevao1441]

Yeah, I think Ricardo hit the spot! I also did notice a good difference on the FFB from 1.7 to 1.8. All that difference in detail mentioned on the video between PS5 and PC is exactly how I would describe the difference from 1.7 to 1.8 on pc. And I have a T300RS... so in direct drive must be felt even a bigger difference.

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

Be interesting to re-compare if/when the console version goes from 1.7 10 to ver 1.8, like the PC version is now.

[@Mr.Grumps565]

Be better if they tested more wheels and actually just programmed the wheel settings to be optimized for each wheel base.

[@orbilator]

I agree when 1,8 comes out for ps5 then it should be revisited as I know the 1.8 are being programmed specifically for each console, hence the delay. Should be out this month. I suppose ultimately how much you have to spend on these things, if you spend 2 grand on a pc 1k on a rig and 900 on a wheel then I'd be hopping everything was much better. Taking out the 2k pc and replacing it with a 360 pounds ps5 it shouldn't be as good.

[@tombonnstetter9182]

Just starting out… from a newbie… your channel has helped me so much… at this point I’m not making final decisions on upgrades until I check in with your great reviews… Thank you!!

[@Perez-lh2xn]

Just yesterday I did the same acc test on pc vs ps5 at home. my steering wheel is the TGT. With the same settings except the strength that on pc has to be lowered above 80 to be equal to 100 strength on ps5. I was testing almost 3 hours in batches of 30 minutes alternating all the time from PC to Ps5. I agree with everything that is talked about in the video, the sensations and the information that arrives at the wheel is better on PC, the sensations are better. for ps5 the feeling is more linear without so many nuances. once well used to both platforms the lap time at the end of the 3 hours was practically the same.

[@MrFatman489]

Great video. Definitely answering a question I've asked. I know PC users claimed the 1.8 update changed their force feedback experience for the better. Unfortunately PS5 hasn't received the ACC 1.8 update yet. It would be awesome if you could do a little update to this video if it does. Thanks for the great content.

[@boostedmedia]

Yep will do. I’m pretty sure the majority of the difference I’m feeling is down to the lower refresh rate on the FFB though. So I doubt it’ll change much. Hopefully I’m wrong.

[@Sideways_Singh]

@@boostedmedia 1.8 added 400hz refresh rate, so 1.8 should also be adding that.

[@bamberto3641]

@@Sideways_Singh 400hz is the polling rate for all the data about the physics, tyres and so on, video refresh rate and FFB are another thing. Because we don’t know the actual physics refresh rate on nextgen console version, we can just speculate about improvements. Maybe the physics on consoles has a sort of frequency cap to not compromise video performance. It will be interesting to see the full PS5 output support at 4K 120hz (video refresh rate), but I’m quite sure they ‘capped’ the pshysics calculations to have the 4K 60hz steady video performance. I’m just saying, maybe I’m totally wrong 😅 Ciao! 😉

It is a real shame that the PS5/SeriesX versions of ACC are not running an identical engine to the PC version. A big chance for cross-play has been missed.

They said something about way too many variables to take into consideration for cross play and it’s pulsar be worth it, I can’t remember the exact words but that’s what I saw somewhere about ACC

I just want to say that the ffb is currently bugged on xbox series and ps5, after the “patch” last Monday. It makes the whole ffb less detailed than it was before this “patch”.

[@jaseo]

interesting. PS5 is just a mid-spec'd PC and I would not think FFB would be noticeably different with the same wheel and same code. High-end PC will give higher framerates (and responsiveness) and graphics fidelity. The code difference would be a significant factor rather than just the somewhat condescending "what do you expect from a console?".

[@kristaps2010]

1.8 console update. Many of us are waiting patiently with building excitement. We all have only 9 days left till the major release what will change ACC gameplay a lot. I’m from London UK and have been racing AC and ACC on PS4 and PS5. I’ve raced over 1000+ hours on AC and over 1000+hrs on ACC PS4 version. Now building up big time on PS5. Joined a league, 10TENTH RACING COMMUNITY,fantastic! True addict, aren’t you? Since release of ACC I had many serious problems with the game. And with every new update, with release of PS5 console, with new ACC console version I have felt a lot of new optimistic expectations followed by disappointment and a letdown from game developers. I’ve been lucky to always have a good FFB on my T300 Ferrari Alcantara edition and now DD1, but there were other problems what took a lot of nerve and patience. It’s hard to remember all the issues but there are few what stand out to me. For example not able to join multiplayer and the proposed fix was to delete my carefully selected 300 racing friends from AC and ACC. Of course I refused to do that and kept waiting till issue was fixed. That was a big wait but I used time to practice my racing in single player. Another problem is crashing Career. It crashed on three occasions trying to complete career endurance race of 3hours non stop racing. It crashed twice somewhere in last leg. Other day I completed the race, crossed finish line and while checking lap times game crashed not saving my career endurance progress. I was fuming! Another issue we all experienced was game simply crashing midrace, it happened a lot. So annoying and was makings me really angry when I had a good race. Then replay save crash needs to be looked at. Even now after all possible updates on PS5 software and ACC PS5 version updates I am experiencing game crashes, some DD1 disconnects, poor visuals as shading under cars, cars flickering. Other minor game bugs - Pit entrance notice issue, not able to use mapped buttons to look left/right as I can on AC version, no in cockpit turn indicators and headlighs LED’s. Sound issues after watching replay and rejoining track. One occation I had cockpit view flickering in career race, there was no flickering from outside view. Many gamers have poor FFB and other issues with game. The most major is game crashing and disconnects while racing leagues Championships. Over 2 years time since ACC console release game is not in a perfect state yet, but it’s playable and enjoyable. I wish there was more communication and a HELPING HAND between Kunos and UntoldGames who develops console version now. I wish thee was more communication from 505games what is distributor’s of console ACC. And I believe we console players deserve an APOLOGY from 505 games and Kunos for a big letdown because I believe game is not completed, it’s got many problems and is like in a beta version. We PS5 players are lucky to have both versions available to play side by side on PS5. I switch between PS5 and PS4 version because PS5 lobbies has small attendance numbers. With 1.8 version PS5 and Xbox UntoldGames has to nail it. No excuses, it has to be perfection. Watching official Kunos ytube channel I learned Marcos, Aris and team still have that passion, they put a lot of effort developing PC 1.8 version what is a massive overhaul of ACC what changed already great game to something fascinating and they are proud of it. Would be shame if UntoldGames would do a poor job with console 1.8 version and drop all that KUNOS effort down in a mud. We don’t know what to expect precisely, announcement stated upgraded tyre model and 400hz + different liveries? We will see. Researching PC 1.8 update, numerous patch notes and reviews I learned about UPDATED rain visuals, rain tyre handling, rain track limits, cars BOP’s, reworked replay camera angles, mist and dew conditions, car night lights, bmw fuel consumption,there is so much more. PC 1.8 version is always updated. So which 1.8 version + latest update we console gamers will receive is not known yet. But it will change the game for sure.

God dammit! This is so typical.. Last week I upgraded from csl elite to the Podium dd f1. Feeling disappointed about how bad ACC is on ps4(pro), specially after it turned out that the ps4 version of acc wasn’t receiving the same update, sooo I went on and got me a PC as well while I waited. I then built a new rig using the exact same measurements as the Px-1, only I built it using wooden beams, painted black. Costed me like 100$, and there is absolutely no flex whatsoever. First test drive today, and I have been smiling like a 5 year old for hours before being able to take a brake. I absolutely LOVE the feeling of immersion from the upgraded force feedback, not to mention the vast improvement in torque when going from csl elite’s 7nm peak to 20nm peak, using the podium wheelbase. But then I get this KZbin notification on my phone, leading me to this video. I usually really enjoy your content, but today I actually wished I didn’t watch.

My lap times with default aggressive setup on both mediums are almost the same.

[@RaskalTheRabbit]

Hey mate! I switched my TGT & T-LCM to the Fanatec GT DD Pro with loadcell and Boost kit, and it's made a huge difference with non GT titles, both PS5 and especially PC, particularly ACC. Probably because ACC have close ties with Fanatec. It's been just over a month now, and the only thing I'm still slightly adjusting to is the loadcell difference... the Fanatec feel with the CSL pedals is a completely different feel... it may be a single choice 60kg, but I have to use more force than I did with the T-LCM at near 100kg. I wouldn't say the feel is better, just different. The build quality is way better though. And the wheel and base is significantly better all around. Definitely worth the switch if you can afford it IMO, especially if you're switching between Console and PC often.

@@hughxthexhand thank you for this mate, so the DD1 is definitely worth buying on PS5? I was worried that PS5 would bottleneck it and that it would be overkill until I build a decent PC.

Just bought a G923 few weeks ago for the PS5. I've been playing GT7, how does ACC compare?

[@sdwz180]

I've been doing lap after lap of different circuits and I'm consistently 2 seconds a lap slower than the usual PC ACC youtube streamers. I'm on PS5. I've got my wheel dialled in quite well and car setups as best suited as I can and its always the same. No matter what I try it's always 2 seconds on any circuit. DD pro, porsche gt3 podium wheel and v3 pedals.

[@TheRatlord74]

I have the same issue. I think trail braking is the answer. I am awaiting my delivery of the csl DD and load cell pedal. I am going to learn how to trail brake when they arrive as the old Logitech doesn't lend itself to trail braking very well.

[@Max__apex]

Ps5 console maximum ffb rate is 250hz. I don’t know if ACC uses this 250hz in game on console. But the Fanatec manual says when the base is in ps5 mode it’s refreshing at 250hz. If the game is running lower rate then it’s whatever the developer has set

[@boostedmedia]

Possibly. Although that doesn’t necessarily mean the game is utilising all available bandwidth.

[@Max__apex]

@@boostedmedia Yes agree. Would be interesting to hear from Kunos regarding the ffb polling rate

[@MaJaTel]

Hi, great video. Can you share the settings you used in the wheel? Thnx in advance. Grtz Maarten

[@boostedmedia]

Check Fanatec’s recommended settings on their forum.

[@ohgeez9971]

It would have been interesting to see how it felt on PC if you dropped the PC FFB refresh rate down to more closely match what the PS5 can do.

[@josephm3615]

Why would you do that? Makes no sense

[@ohgeez9971]

​@@josephm3615 So you can compare apples to apples. In the video he stated that the difference in the feel of the FFB may be due to the FFB rate, with the PS5 at 60 Hz and the PC at 400 Hz. If you drop the PC rate down to 100 Hz (that's as low as mine shows it can go), then you can possibly see if the rate is the reason for the difference in feel. I'm not saying leave it there; just temporarily drop it to test the hypothesis.

[@boostedmedia]

No point unless we know what the rate on the PS5 actually is

[@Max-oi9es]

The nice thing is, in theory, an update can possibly eliminate any and all discrepancies between PC and Console game play.

[@mohamednour390]

Great vid. How’d you get the wheel and ps5 to sync up. I got a weird slight delay on my g923 n ps5.

Thought the NLR F-GT wasn't recommended for Direct Drive wheels? Looking at some of your comments on the FGT review.

It’s not. This is an FGT Elite.

I am wondering if you would care to share your settings for fanatec 8nm on ps5 for ACC that is more up to date

[@salepoka]

Hello. Was this test made with version 1.8? It has same 400hz frequency too at consoles too.

[@tomdachille2066]

Love the vids, where do the red mounts for your wheel base come from? I got the DD pro with a next level fgt rig and the angle of the wheel is too flat for me I need some pitch adjustment. I can’t find those red bracket/mounts anywhere :). Thanks!!

[@giogamer4825]

Just wondering for Fanatec DD Pro users, as i am pretty new to Fanatec. For any wheel to get smooth on and off the base, can you do anything with the provided grease from the V3 pedals? And if so, what to do? I have the DD Pro and Formula 2.5 wheel on a Playseat Challenge but have to remove the wheel dialy so i can fold the playseat. Thanks for any tips

[@mycarrysun]

Seems like grease could mess with the electronics so might not want to use anything. Mine isn't too hard to take off tho, do you think you got a wheel that might be out of tolerance? Also could just need worn in a bit.

[@giogamer4825]

@@mycarrysun yes i think maybe it has to worn a bit, as it is new new. Thanks for your reply

[@odiesback]

Great video and comments here. I am seriously considering to give ACC a try since things in GT7 are still a mess. I use a T-GT wheel and T-LCM pedals. Planning on the PS5 version since it does not require a big initial investment… after that is all goes well, migrate your a PC. Thoughts?

[@B1G_UN1T]

I'm also wanting to migrate to PC. I have GT DD Pro and started on GT7 but tried ACC and really enjoy that it's more a true racing sim

[@SashaKingUK]

Someone who creates sim racing videos for a living should be more informed to know that the PC version of ACC is updated to 1.8.12 whereas PS5 currently is running 1.7 and the 1.8 update for ACC was a HUUUGE update which changed everything and people had to completely change their setups and how they drove the cars probably should've waited until both platforms are running the same version but thats just me. Also the pressures of your car was all over the show not even optimum tire pressure some not even reaching 27 psi you want to be aiming for 27.5/7 pressures in this game its the first thing you have to learn without that basic 101 you wont reach peak performance on track and your car will feel like ass, would be nice if you could get a some good setups for the chosen car and a track which does these types of testing that way you will know the subtle differences and do some proper laps with the same equipment that way youll have a good understanding of the differences.

[@loicludwig429]

I have no idea how the ffb feels in AC, but those understeer and missed apex could have been caught by sight without the need for any other cue.

[@boostedmedia]

Yep that’s definitely true. As I mentioned in the video I have no muscle memory with this setup which is a much bigger contributor to the lap times. Having a single projector dar away is wildly different from what I’m used to.

[@kristaps2010]

ACC 1.8 update is coming to consoles end of September. 29/9/2022 Interesting if FFB will change.

Hey Will/boosted. Would you mind sharing the settings on the base when you are playing PS?

[@mizouse02]

This video and ACC + DLC currently on sale in Steam pretty much pushed me to getting ACC for PC than my PS5. Now I just need my GT DD Pro to be delivered.

[@MorfiusRacing]

More and more makes me want to invest in a gaming PC or Laptop. Had the fortune to play modded AC on a gaming laptop with refreshed graphics upgrades and in VR was blown away at how much better a driving experience it is than on TV or a PS5. Kinda regret buying the PS5 now.

[@boostedmedia]

Try to avoid gaming laptops if you can. Terrible performance compared to a desktop of the same price.

Hey Will do you have an Xbox series x/s could you do a comparison with that system.

Lost allot of road feeling and need to turn up nearly every in game seeing just to get something out of it. Cheers. Don't feel like playing it anymore as kunos has ruined the FFB on it..

Thanks for the great video! I wonder, if the granular detail in FFB on PC disappears as soon as the frequency on PC is set to 60hz.

Going to experiment with exactly that. Would just like to try and figure out what the actual sample rate on the PS5 is first.

As someone who can't/ won't afford a PC, but has a ps5, would I be disappointed with acc ffb? I'm loving gt7 and how is ffb feels, and I know it's apples and oranges comparing gt and ac. But will the ffb feel as polished on acc ps5? I remember being very disappointed in wrc and dirt 2.0 ffb feel after playing a lot of gt sport on ps4. Just upgraded to the premium version dd pro(from a t300rsgt) and am looking to get the most out of it, but don't want to get let down by the ffb quality.

[@mattwalker9318]

Thank you for this, as I’m still holding off on a PC and am dying to get into sim racing but was unsure about the quality when switching from PS5 to PC. Knowing that the wheel feels better on PC makes me want to pull the trigger on a rig I can play until PC parts come down in price.

[@fleamcbaggins3087]

Get stuck in Matt! Les goooo

[@RaskalTheRabbit]

Definitely better on PC... though I'm in a similar situation. My PC can play sims just fine, but since I upgraded my monitors, Elgato etc to 4K because of the PS5, even my old Threadripper 2950x, 64gb, 2080TI is now struggling. It was a beast nearly 4 years ago, but with everything going 4K... though I'm still better off than many who are waiting for prices to drop, so I can't really complain. I'm currently saving hard so I can afford the top end Ryzen 9 7000 CPU & Nvidia 40 series GPU when they (hopefully) release at the end of this year. The Fanatec GT DD Pro with loadcell and Boost kit is definitely great value for money as well. Just read in the news today that the US has lifted certain sanctions off China in the trade dispute, and that it should mean a further reduction in computer component prices. 🤞

[@mattwalker9318]

@@RaskalTheRabbit the prices have been coming down lately but not enough yet, especially with the new hardware dropping later this year, I am aiming to build a Ryzen 9 5950x with a Nvidia 30 series GPU once the new hardware drops as hopefully it’ll bring the prices down further
