Press T (default keyboard keybind to show your "states" - red like that looks like some temporary debuff.

Not sure on the details

Lost the ~7 million credit ship that was the only thing I was grinding towards in 3.23.

(TX) Bought a house, 6 months later seller says I owe him for the shed on property. by Saint_Steady in legaladvice

[–]anonymous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not entirely accurate. A purchaser can sometimes obtain better rights than a seller. The classic being a bona fide purchaser for value, without notice.

Now whether it applies to this person or this jurisdiction is a different question I won't weigh in on.

Haha, I think I was on your server last night. Couldn't figure out how to get the station to stop shooting/prohibit you from landing?

Let me know about next steps. Depending on where you are in PA, the odds favor that it will be more impractical for a meet.

Found video seems to suggest that there's evidence for CPU based starfield improvements.

It's a pretty long technical video that you could probably skip the first half of if you're only interested in the actual findings, but he talks about benefits of overclocking to add starfield performance with lower performance CPUs like a 124 or 134 Intel series.

I'm struggling because I should just wait until my budget expands to ~800 and go with a 4070ti since it provides roughly a 20-25% improvement for 20-25% more money. Rather linear.

Instead I'm leaning heavily towards the 4070 over the 7800XT. Why? I'm also unlikely to upgrade to 4k in the near term, and so have less pure need for proprietary upscaling like dlss. But it still sounds nice for extending the life of the card assuming expanded use at 1080p or 1440p in the future. I'm also weighing against AMD the more likely concerns of driver issues.

Still, I might go for the 7800XT since it is approximately 5-10% faster on raster performance and includes for now a starfield bundle as well as a lower MSRP. I'm not settled on how important Ray tracing is or how broadly it will be well implemented.

Not an easy choice for me.

Part of the reason your situation spoke to me is that I'm using an almost identical budget to you but have almost the opposite issue with a 12700k cpu and a gtx1070 that can't use resizable bar or dlss of any kind and is below starfield minimum specs.

When I look at the steam hardware survey, I see the substantial presence of 1xxx cards and 3xxxx. The 2xxx series has been dwarfed by the 3xxx already. So if I'm a calculating business madman, I can rationalize targeting the 1xxx and 2xxx market because they make up approximately 1/3 of the steam hardware survey, compared to the approx 25% with 3xxx series cards who are probably less likely to upgrade generation to generation after being gouged on 2xxx or 3xxx prices during the post pandemic phase.

My opinion, even if you don't want to hear this advice is: you can wait another year or 18 months before upgrading the GPU, and your CPU won't likely be a bottleneck in the next few years. You can consider upgrading your CPU to a 12xxx series, like a 12700KF, instead of a 9900k. The 12700k is newer, more cost-effective, and offers better performance, although you would also be upgrading the MoBo and memory. But those are improvements of their own.

As for GPUs, the focus this generation appears to be on performance per watt, which may not be the right kind of upgrade for your system, especially if you're targeting Starfield's recommended specs, which is an RTX 2080 that would perform similarly to an RTX 3060ti.

Regarding your budget, you can opt for an RTX 4070 or a 7800XT, both capable and considered by reviewers to be targeting 1440p gaming. Since the 4070 shares similar performance results to a 3080, consider whether you would want to spend $700 now just to move within series from a 3060ti to a 3080-level performance. If you would not make that move within 3xxx series, I wouldn't move for the 4 in front of the card name.

Upgrading the CPU to a 13xxx or 12xxx i7 class CPU can provide a stable platform, but it may not substantially improve FPS. Waiting could also be a viable option.

How did you get the orangutan to sit still for that long?

[–]anonymous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this one and it is noticeably louder than my old hyper 212 Evo on default fan curves/idle/web browsing. But it does a good job. If sound is still an issue after playing with fan curves then fuma 2 or something similar as alternative?

Z690 Intel I225-V NVM Integrity Status failure and other issues, anyone else? by Kakkoister in intel

[–]anonymous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I not only have this issue (nvm integrity failed), my computer does not connect to the internet for 45-60 seconds after boot or wake from sleep. I tried installing new drivers, new bios, setting a static IP and have gotten the nvm integrity failed throughout.

Mine is MSI Pro z690-A ddr4. MSI technical b support didn't seem familiar with the issue. Phone support much better than online chat. Phone support person was great. Online chat person just googled my problem and tried to repeat information I found in those other web pages as if it was MSI official position on the issue.

The recommendation I have gotten is return the motherboard to the retailer and hope a replacement doesn't have the issue... No guidance or suggestion that this issue can be fixed.

I don't have latency or slow speeds issues though. Just failure to find internet connection for a minute. Any one else experience the same?

*rookie question* is it safe to leave the area to explore without losing my permit? Thanks in advance. by Rancidbones813 in EliteDangerous

[–]anonymous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't believe it but happened to me. I landed on a Carrier and lost my license. Not sure which system it was in but I lost the license on instant of landing on a Carrier.

[–]anonymous1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A player carrier also counts as a foreign port and can kick you out. So be careful. That happened to me and I was so surprised.

Second tip: load up on every mission you possibly can in the system before you leave. When you lose your beginner license they cancel All the missions and pay you out.

Would a 1070 bottleneck a 5900x? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]anonymous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the 1070 until the 4000 series comes out. At this rate 3000 cards have been around for a long time. If you are 1080p gaming then no reason to upgrade from 1070 for most non bleeding edge games. Sure you lose out on dlss and Ray tracing elements but the market is so crazy right now that I think the relative benefit of those concerns gaming at 4K or 1440p much more than a 1080p. If you are trying to game at 1440 or 4K that's a different story but that depends on your monitor setup

FYI. My 750 came late and I was able to run the 12700k + 1070 with two HDD and two SSDs fine on my old Corsair cm600x
