Thanks again, mate! Also, is there much difference in ram that has extra padding vs bare bones Crucial chips? Like these two:

Quick question, can I use my current DDR3 ram in a new motherboard or would I have to upgrade to the DDR4? Wanting to know if I can save a little money or need to buy now.

Thanks, I'll check it out. If I upgrade to the 10th gen and new mobo could I take my current SSD with OS on it and simply connect? Or would it require a full new reinstall? I figured I could just download the drivers before I take it apart.

New mobo and ram are required as mine are currently DDR3. I do have a 1000W gold psu, is that not enough? I heard even the 3080 is only like 550? And I have a liquid cooler on my chip already, I could just migrate that.

Actually, since I believe most games don't even use hyperthreading, would I be better off going AMD? I could slot my 980ti into it until I could afford a new GPU. AMD has a pretty nice one coming out that may rival Nvidia.

Looks like.

The only games I own that really tax my system are SC and Cyberpunk. But I know more are coming! What if I upgraded my CPU to a 10th gen i7/i9 and kept the 980ti, then next year saved up for a 3060ti/3080ti? A 10700k is only around $250, which is insane for the upgrade and a 10900k is about...

Some say CPU, some say GPU. So basically a whole new computer? I used a monitoring program and it shows my CPU using 100% as well as GPU using 100%, but the vram was around 58%. I got two new 2x8 and two of my old 2x4. 16gb wasn't doing it anymore. Noticed a large boost in performance. I...

One of the things I'm thinking of doing is keeping both systems to possibly dual box some things in SC or just to have it as a backup for any possible server-ish things I'd need to run. It's not powerful anymore, but it could keep a small game server going for Minecraft or something.

I'm in the US, Socal. I figured the big thing was my CPU since it's 4th gen. I was looking at GPU today and any kind of upgrade is severely overpriced atm. Wasn't wanting to spend a ton as I plan to build a new system in a year or two now. I was really hoping to build a new beast of a system...

So I was planning to build a computer within a few months, but that looks like it may not happen. So I need help figuring out what I can do fairly cheaply to extend life on my current 7-8 year old computer I built. I know I need a few things such as another SSD since I'm running out of space...

Damn, man. Most streamers never stream the days I can actually watch. Good luck to you though.

I through these three and then almost posted a word by word play of each as a separate post, but figured that'd be a bit overboard and actually get us in trouble. But goddamnit that would have been legendary!

We just need to recruit more shitposters! Things have definitely slowed down. Maybe 3.12 will bring more back!

Time for some real music in here, @maynard !

I'm hoping they roll out AI blades and NPC crew at the same time. Would be nice to have an option. Although they have said that NPCs will be better than your average AI blade, so I'd probably go with one of those up on top turret. Or possibly have it fly the ship while I'm in turret since I'd...

I'd probably rather blade the two 2x3 on the back and get a person or npc in the top. Although hopefully by that point we have a fully reworked Starfarer and the Gemini will have two 2x4 and one 2x6. If you've been in a Reclaimer you know how stupid those size 6s get.

I really can't wait for SDF shields and physical armor. The Starfarer should be a literal tank. Would make these jobs easy.

Wow, very high pay out for the bigger missions. Is the gameplay the same? Given location marker and must scan for them at location? Might take my Starfarer out.
