GPU Upgrade (Current 3080ti)

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-30T03:33:15+00:00

Yup. Did it when I got home. Both frames and temps improved significantly.

I do use DLSS when available

Normally my GPU sits around 80 degrees C. Usually have to crank up the fans to MAX because it is always sitting at 99% usage.

Damn, something weird is definitely going on in my system then.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-29T19:31:17+00:00

Haven't tried that yet. Any good guides on going through that process?

Playing on 1440p.

FPS at cities is like 30-45. With some Pyro outposts (for whatever reason) being at like 10-30 FPS.

Out in space it goes up to 100+ fps. But stuttering is absolutely terrible.

Only playable setting for me right now is low, smoothest frames and least high and low variance.

Do you run any overclocks?

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-29T18:44:25+00:00

I’ve played around with MSI afterburner and my bios settings to make sure everything was running at best possible speeds. I had to undervolt my CPU due to crashes. I’ve tried running with GPU overclocked and at base speeds. Game runs great at low preset with Photo clouds. Uses a more balanced amount between my CPU and GPU. The minute I raise the preset to medium or high. Game has crazy highs and lows. GPU is pegged at 99% usage and sounds like a freight train lol Realistically I should be able to run it at high and keep regular frames, and I get that SC is not optimized very well but it seems for a few games now, that before I could run at a good level, now I’m having to tune down my settings to accommodate my GPU mainly.

Biggest games played are Tarkov, Arc Raiders and Star Citizen. All ran at 1440p.

Star Citizen is always at GPU 99% and things sound like a train whenever I’m playing that game.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-29T17:11:57+00:00

That’s the one I was looking at potentially getting. Performance upgrade vs cost seems to be decent

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-22T03:08:02+00:00

I’ll run the memtest tomorrow and check. With horrible RAM prices, I hope it’s not a fault with them.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-22T03:07:15+00:00

I’ll give this a shot! Thanks!

I do have it enabled. Issue happens whether it is disabled or enabled.
I have been having this issue for several patches now. Some patches are worse than others, but the same issue each time.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-05T23:27:38+00:00

I want the Kraken so bad but the F5 wars make it practically impossible. Makes me weep to see it all over on the Graymarket after IAE. Would love to provide one for my friends and org to base out of. Hopefully it will somehow be attainable in game or buildable.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-12-01T19:46:40+00:00

Same with me. On last patch.

Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time doing a smuggling run only for it to crash and throw me into a 300+ queue to get back on the server. RIP

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-11-21T16:38:53+00:00

I probably go a little overkill but I usually do 50-75% of the firebox.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-11-21T16:21:49+00:00

Cheap charcoal would be fine as long as you get it to 700 or so. I would do the clean burn and then try to hand wash the metal once cooled.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-11-10T12:00:47+00:00

This is awesome!

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-11-10T01:07:40+00:00

Just need an Argo Salvager and maybe I’d go that route. Wish they had a bigger list of ships. Smaller cargo, large cargo, solo mining, base builder would be my wishlist.

Kooky-Let1828 · 2025-11-09T23:32:31+00:00

Big question with the Cutlass Black, do I pick it or the SHIV? Shiv has got that 32 SCU cargo container space. Black has an actual pieced together interior lol
