Never seen a bottleneck soo backwards before. Got a brand new RTX 3080 this week and had my 8700K for the past couple years. Ran a 980Ti off of it and then a 2080. I install my 3080 and boot up Windows, open up New World and my frames dropped dramatically in 1080p. Bumped it to 1440p and my frames go up, then 4k my frames go up even more. How is this even possible? I can no longer game in 1080p in most of my games anymore with this pair so I had to buy a 9900K and hopefully that solves my issue.

Just built this beautiful gaming rig a few days ago. Took me a little bit to fit some of the parts in the case, did not know the Meshify C was smaller than your average mid-tower case. After a few hours (even for a veteran PC builder...big hands don't go well in small cases) she was all done and booted up without any issues. Installed a fresh install of Windows 10 Home on my SSD I was using from another build of mine and now I'm running benchmarks and stress tests, as well as some casual gaming.

That's a beautiful-looking build! Love the liquid-cooled GPU, I love that both AIO coolers create some curves in an otherwise boxy/edgy aesthetic.

Been playing this game for the better part of 2 years now dreaming of the time when i could start doing serious stuff, and i finally got my big break, after grinding away ranks/reputation for the empire at Cemiess station for what seemed like forever, i finally got offered a long range passenger mission to the holy twins for 24 million credits . Spent the last 2 days flying out there and just arrived this afternoon, using my Asp Explorer with almost nothing other than advanced discovery scanner. Used the services of Felicity Farseer the engineer before i left, and got my range up to 39.7 ly per jump ( 34.5 with passenger cabin and scanner) i managed to complete the 12,500 ly journey in 12 legs of 30-32 jumps each, covering each 1000 ly leg in around 25-30 mins, which i think is pretty good going, some people do these missions with like 20ly jump range i've heard
 
Now i'm here i thought i would make the best of it and found at least 10 systems with black holes, one of which has 3 of them ! Im not gonna risk any cowboy stuff this far from home, was tempted to ride the neutron highway for a while but havent had much practice with that and don't want to lose all that discovery data crashing into a neutron star. i did a quick bit of napkin maths before i left which gave me approx 750 jumps round trip, which could bag me an extra 15-20 million in just the discovery data alone, so here's hoping i don't fuck up on the way back haha, there was a big sketchy patch of brown dwarves about half way that worried me a bit
 
Pics attached, i slammed into a blackhole nearly spitting coffee over my monitor, it terrified me. And also found a lovely neutron star to pose with.
 
What are you Commanders up to at the moment ?

Ok its out! Go download it 

Oh one cool bonus thing I did forget to mention, it's the first game I know of that supports the rumble triggers on the Xbox one controller. Caught me slightly off guard as I'd forgotten they were a thing. 

do you know what rapid mode is???
it makes a ramdisk
those speeds are the speeds of your ram not your SSD

Yeah, sorry buddy, but RAPID mode uses your RAM as a read/write cache for the SSD, so what you are seeing is the speed of your RAM.

Forewarning, if you don't have a UPS you should probably turn RAPID mode off. If you have a power outage and anything is in the RAPID mode cache, it will be lost forever.

Meh, cheaper air coolers beat it

Hyper 212 EVO master race!

I mean its an i7 so maybe that's why?

Probably a big reason too. The 4770k runs hottttt at 4.5GHz. With my Kraken x60 that died after 3 years of running my current system, that thing would keep my CPU around 25C idle and it wouldn't go over 70C in Prime95 after 24hrs of running at 100%.

Dude i'm running at 4.7GHz at 1.20 volts with the EVO and never gets above 80 degrees. Have i won the silicon lottery?

Possibly. This thing never wanted to overclock when I first bought it so I definitely got a shit chip.

NEver gets above 80 degrees... Thats a little too hot for comfort for my 4790k on 212 evo, I much prefer under 60c on all games on load
im not overclocking till i get a proper 240mm+ rad

Don't complain, or Samsung will fuck you up and take it

you have the RAM cache active - don't exactly recall how Samsung calls it
 
le: RAPID mode

Love this game so far, paid £25 from cdkeys.

Will add you later for some DZ runs. 
I'm level 30 with a bunch of high level gear and a yellow sniper rifle. 
The grind to 30 isn't nearly as bad as when you have to play for phoenix credits - but even then it's fun. 

Buy me the game and i'll come play with ya
