Used Logitech G920 vs PXN V9 for Forza Horizon

Hello fellas
I've been thinking about getting a wheel to play Forza Horizon and maybe other racing games too.
I don't want to spend too much so I resorted to Facebook Marketplace
I found the Logitech G920 with a shifter and a PXN V9 with a shifter for the same price.
Which one should I go for?
I know nothing about those things, just want to enjoy Forza with a steering wheel because I thought it would be cool
Should I go for the Logitech or for the PXN?
Would be nice to have something good, even though its just for fun.
I already have a triple monitor setup so a wheel seems like a nice addition.

3080 12gb FTW3 Ultra thermal pads mod

Been playing with this card for a week now.
Temps are super solid, 65-70c under a full load, around 60c after a nice undervolt.
I noticed the space between the PCB and the backplate is empty.
Can I mod it and add some thermal pads?
I don't think I need to replace the paste and pads just yet but adding pads between the PCB and backplate does sounds like a good idea, especially with that big-ass backplate.
Will that help? Is it worth it?

Bought this card used last week.
Been messing around with it and I'm beyond impressed.
I knew EVGA was on another level but holy shit.
This thing can draw 440w while staying at 75c while my 2080 AORUS was drawing 250w and was hitting 83c with a custom fan curve and a pretty aggressive undervolt.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with maxed out settings but I keep getting the "PWR LMT" message in Afterburner, even with the power limit and temp limit maxed out.
Can I do something about it?
It happens only in Cyberpunk, only if I play without DLSS.
I played FH5 at 1080p and 4k with maxed out settings and I wasn't getting that message.
Also, the card was at 400w on Cyberpunk but 440w on FH5 and I wasn't getting that message.
How is that possible?

Been looking for the 12gb 3080 for a while now
People are asking ridiculous prices for them.
Anywhere from $680 all the way $800 in my country.
I found one for $440. Posted 10 minutes ago. 50 minutes later I was at this dude's house.
Passed every test with flying colors.
Ironically, I just installed (as in 9 hours ago) the 3070 Aorus I bought 2 days ago lol
The vram on my 2080 Aorus is dying and starting to cause problems.
If it wasn’t dying, I'd gladly use it for a few more years.
But a 3080 12gb FTW3 for $440 is insane.
