MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU !! 🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🙏

no problemo 🙂

yes both use 1 8pin power connector.

completely fine no need to have worries

my 5800x3d reaches 82 degrees under load. but then again, its hot here and my room is a heat trap (carpet and it gets blasted by the sun at the hottest hours) and i only have a 240 aio. also, its top mounted.
gpu of mine reaches about 71 temp with 93 hotspot on the cooling profile i set for it. without it on an oc profile about 80-85 ish temp and 102 hotspot in my current room environment.

so your temps are perfectly fine in my humble opinion. game on.

yes unless you destroy it yourself

it wont, unless you destroy it yourself 😉 leave at stock if you dont want to mess with it.

3 years is nice.

oc is just a fancy word after the name for a card that indeed comes a biter higher clocked out of the gate. But its completely safe. no reasons to worry about it. They (every gpu) are after all, ALWAYS higher clocked out the gate. some (oc models) just a bit higher and its still fine

 
no they arent unless you yourself do something terribly wrong to them which i doubt you will do.

you only have to oc a card if its not doing the perf you want it to do anymore or if you know what you are doing and have no problems with ocing

idling doesnt matter. only look at what reviewers say on youtube. Not what random people write. you dont know their setup, their countries temps  their house conditions etc.

 
 
doubt it

i personally wouldnt spend 300 bucks on 1080p gaming card only to end up with just above 60 fps performance.
But it is better to have at least above 60 yes.

Zotac cards are from my knowledge fine. asus is fine just more expensive and gigabyte is oke besides their fan problem.

What you should do is look at the model you want to buy then look up if there is a youtube video on the performance of the cooler in cooling as well as how noisy they are.

It's your money. But that's only an increase in perf of about 44% if I remember it correctly. The lowest price on I could see was about 290 bucks. 
 
In my opinion it's not worth it to upgrade if it isn't at least double in %. (Via techpowerup) So in your case that's a 6750xt/3070/2080ti/4060ti 8gb. But the main issue for you is that nvidias overings there are a second hand 2080ti but it does have 11gb or 2 8gb cards. As you wouldn't want an amd card. It's a hard decision. But personally as I said I would never get an upgrade that's only 44%. That isn't exactly a lot. 

oh god no. you will be buying something for 380+ that is slower than a 3070.

the only redeeming thing about it is framegen. which is simply not worth it. and if you get the 16gb version it is way overpriced. and at that point your better off getting the 7800xt which shits on the 4060ti royally. hell even the 7700xt is better value.

and your 3600 will basically be a bottleneck for anything you will be buying. its always going to limit the perf to some decree. but thats fine as you can always slap in a 5800x3d at some point

price range he said

well yes for now, but even now its already clear 8gb is not going to be enough in the bigger titles soon. Which you also want to play of course. So while it may perform well now it isnt going to perform well in the long run. and of course if you have no problems turning settings down in those games to medium or using higher upscaling yea it probably wont be an issue. but would you really want to spend 380 bucks to do that? in my opinion its a bit of a waste of money.

Yes dlss is superior to fsr. But its not as bad as it seems when both are properly implemented. I used fsr when i still had a 2070s without any issues. yes not as good but not as bad as a lot of people said it was. And now with a 6950xt i dont really miss dlss at all.

Now your choices are to me simple,
 
either go with a 3070. have dlss, have that nvidia premium feeling. and have reflex. in the supported titles... and have better raytracing. But only have 8gb of vram which is 100% going to cause issues and already is causing issues in some games. (especially with raytracing) And you do not get the newest features like framegen.

or buy a 4070 so you do get the newest feature like framegen. and have 12gb but you do need to spend 550 dollaroos on that. 

OR get a second hand 3080 which will have a bit more vram and a decent bump in performance over the 3070. 

OR get a 6750xt for less money than a 3070 while having more performance or equal. and 12gb but worse raytracing perf in heavier titles (not easy ones). and sacrifice the mwah better quality of dlss for a still okay fsr. But get the nice feature of fsr3 in the future and antilag+ in the future. 

or get a 7700xt for a bit more perf than a 3070 and have 12gb and have av1 and have access to antilag+ now and probably a bit better fsr frame gen perf or quality. but it does cost you about 70 bucks more than a 3070 new.

all in all its your choice and your money. so choose well else you will have to upgrade at some point again soon.

wel...

3060ti is okay if you get the 12g.. ah right doesnt exist so not worth it for.. 337.04 dollaroos (lowest price i could find)
3070 is also okay but again only 8gbs so you can forget about future tripple a games on max settings without adjustments.. yes even at 1080p sadly. 
but.. for 380 dollaroos eh 17% more performance. i mean if you have the money to spend sure you could go for it.

bit of a waste tbh when you could get an amd card with 12gb for less than that (6750xt) and more perf than a 3070 or on par.

But since you only want nvidia yes go either second hand 3080 or new 3070 than!

i can also confirm they have indeed updated their animation systems and it is now possible to climb ladders in the game 😄

they sure did. planned to release earlier but i believe before buying them microsoft saw starfield when they got to visit bethesda. and after that the delay came by a year. and then later a bit more. So yeah they basically said "heres a big bag of cash take your time".

there have been since i written this post a few leaks. and while i myself avoided any story related things i have read and heard things related to gameplay and first impressions. I have also seen some screenshots and read the achievement list.
things ive heard:
and dont worry spoiler free.
 
some reviewers have played it already thanks to their preview keys. and have said that they encountered no bugs in their 15+ hours of playing it. and that they enjoy it a lot. and that they expect it will be a banger.
others have also stated that if you watched avatar (not the element benders but blue guys) it feels a lot like that on the different planets. thus if you liked those movies for their visual amazingness you will probably also be amazed at the different planets and how it wil feel.

i have also heard many things about the gameplay, most have stated they it is the most polished game they have played from bethesda by far especially in the gameplay elements where loads of things are very detailed. and even to the point where you do need to actually hear what npcs have to say to you and read certain things in order to understand what you have to do. thus a lot less here look at your compass there is a direct indication of where you need to go and where an item is. but more go do it yourself. 

the screenshots i have seen look pretty detailed and good for a bethesda game. which i expect many of us want. i expect many of you dont expect extreme detailed graphics but at least much better than previous titles and it seems we will be getting that. if you want to see a picture i will post one of a location that doesnt show much. besides a building name. see it or dont. 🙂 not sure about the resolution of the gameplay or settings though.
 


and i have heard some performance statements. of course take it with a massive pile of doubt

approximately 45 fps at 4k max settings (not sure about fsr being enabled) with a 4070. so perf wise if this is true it sounds like it will be performing pretty decently.
And the game launches on version 1.6 something. thus it has seen very many bug fixes and optimization's.

Thanks for the summary. 
I heard that Bethesda aimed for a way earlier release but Microsoft basically handed them a bugspray and some polish cream and told them to take their time. 

Im surprisingly not hyped about it.  I love single player RPG games, my favorite genre after sim racing.   I just have not been able to click properly with Skyrim, Fallout or any bethesda game.  I WILL buy Starfield at one point, no doubt, but I will wait for a sale in a years time.. I got so many other games to play I need to finish first =/ Gotta stop myself from buying games and not playing 😄
It does however look like a really really fantastic game from what I'v seen so far.

I'll probably get it at some point, though not hyped at all.
 
I have played the usual Bethesda RPGs (Fallout, Skyrim) and history has tought me to buy these games as GoTY when most of the bugs are fixed, DLCs are included and the choice of (bug fixing) mods is great.
