    Welp...dropped $850 on some new hardware for my rig...

    It is, but it's pretty much my only hobby. To be honest, PC gaming is a pretty cheap hobby, as far as they go, so I don't mind dropping a few grand to keep her up to date. Not sure what my FPS without vsync would be, probably be over in hangar/AC. Got kinda a shitty monitor right now, haven't...

    Welp...dropped $850 on some new hardware for my rig...

    Yeah, running mine at 4.4 right now, taking it a little slow to watch heat. The Corsair cooler is amazing, it runs 20-22 idle, running SC only takes her up to ~60. Honestly, I think I could crank it up to 4.8 (I've read of people rolling it at 5 without issues), but I want to take it nice and...

    Welp...dropped $850 on some new hardware for my rig...

    Hey, just wanted to let everyone know the results. As I'm sure no one is surprised, I got a massive boost to FPS in PU from the upgraded CPU. Granted, the AMD FX8320 was a bit old, and the i7-6700k is pretty new, but still the different was night and day. Prior, I used to get between 20-30 FPS...

    Advice required!

    The Carrack comes with a single seater called the Pisces, for both local space travel (inside dense asteroid fields, through small jump points, etc.) and it also has an Ursa rover, a ground vehicle. It's probably the biggest bang for your buck. But, you might want to grab a cheap Aurora if you...

    Why do you think I'm buying one? It's not for gaming, that's for damn sure. I need to make sure I purchase the correct model for all my pornhub needs!

    TEST challenge coins?

    Collected a bunch from the Corps, wouldn't mind adding another :P Count me in if you get these.

    How do you decide which ships to buy?

    I'm on a strict seeship program; I see a ship, I buy it.

    Also curious. I'm trying to decide between the OR and Vive. Tough choice. Construction wise, I'm leaning towards the Vive because the straps are much smaller on the sides so I can fit my headset easily. But, I've also heard the OR displays are better and the Vives controllers are shitty...

    Elite Dangerous - What do I need to know?

    Don't want to shit talk the game, it's just not for me. I lost interest nearly immediately. The flight model is a copy pasta "Microsoft Flight Sim 20XX" with more vertical maneuvering room. The game is SLOOOOOOOOW, so be prepared for that. I think they didn't like the idea of Newtonian flight...

    Help me build an SC rig under 400W!

    Honestly, if your mobile a lot, a mobile rig might be the way to go. I know a lot of people scoff at laptops for serious gaming, but they're getting very good. I think a solid MSI gaming laptop might be the way to go, they're expensive, yes, but you can get parity with a mid-range desktop. If...

    Valid. But, they did point out that top end-rigs of today will be able to run the game on low, and that was 2014 IIRC. So, I think I can manage a solid medium with my rig now, once I get my upgrades. But, my rig is pretty much a hobby, I like to have new components. What I might do is not buy...

    Thought about it, but I'm torn between SLIing the card or waiting for the pascal GTX10xx line. Hard choice.

    What do your frames look like in PU? You getting 60, even with their broken netcode?

    Welp...dropped $850 on some new hardware for my rig...

    I got a decent rig right now, AMD FX-8320, 32GB ram, NVidia 980ti... But my CPU was really starting to hold me back. I wasn't sure what to get, ended up springing for an i7 6700k. Apparently, they OC up to about 5Ghz fairly easily with proper cooling. Also picked up a new mobo (needed for the...
