Dreadhead Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Upgraded the rig with 4 Aurasound shakers (for 4 corners/wheels) and Lapai amps running SimVibe. So awesome. The feedback is particularly good in Project Cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Now that my PC has been taken off life support by upgrading to 16 gigs of ram and a 1060, I can play so many more games without causing another chernobyl in my bedroom. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Unrelated, my favorite gaming commentators / channel has begun an LP of my favorite game, that had always been avoided because it was the emergency behind glass LP. With one member leaving and another on hiatus, the glass has been broken, and the super best friends have begun playing Dark Souls 1: Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Today I learned that if you overclock your GPU your Power Supply can decide to just quit and give you the gift of a nice hard shutdown.... I will need to rectify this ASAP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 As I understand it the OC was stable with GPU temps and everything else stable but after about 30 minutes the power supply just switched off, and did so again after booting at which point I took the OC off. I found a thread where someone blamed their failing power supply for that behavior but in my case I calculated the power usage and I only have about 20w headroom on my 500W supply after I upgraded my ram to 32GB. The OC pushed me into the 550W range so it all makes sense. I went with a 750W PSU to replace it figuring headroom is good or should I just get a 650? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 be safe, go 1250 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Helpful as always Dan. For the $20 I'll stick with the 750 vs 650 though it's probably overkill. I really wasn't aware that the PSU would just thermal out and shut down with no warning, it's scary to think of bricking a machine for $20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Installed the PSU today and ran the OC in FurMark for about an hour with no issues. Random question for people running Nvidia and that own Project Cars. Does your Geforce Experience list Project Cars VR? Mine does not and I can't figure out why and I'm wondering if it's just gone for everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Like a couple of others in this thread, I also consider TW3 the best video game made to date. I recently finished my 3rd playthrough, this time with the 2 expansions. I finished Witcher 2 twice. Can't recall if I ever completed the first one. Just Cause 2 was another favourite, with over 500 hours play time according to Steam. I had high hopes for JC3, but didn't enjoy that as much. Currently playing another of my fave. series, Far Cry primal. I've enjoyed each game in that series, and they don't have as much DRM to deal with this time around which is a good thing. Once I finish that, I'll start on Fallout 4. I also play a bit of Rocket League and World of Tanks now and again. Are there any other WoT or FC fans in here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I finally started joining the guys for some Titanfall 2 multi-player this weekend. I have to say, it is actually pretty darn fun. Haven't won a game yet but we seem to be learning fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Found these short guide videos on how to play the various Titans. It is hard to realize what is going on in the heat of battle so I found these to be very helpful. I wasn't even using Ion's best damage dealing ability, his 'Q'. Tone and Legion: https://youtu.be/XMMLeYymqWs Scorch and Ion: https://youtu.be/bQ5h5Q61UHo Northstar and Ronin: https://youtu.be/p9zZlaQZxt4    24 minutes ago, Dreadhead said: Looks like I will be buying a code and joining Origin I highly recommend playing through the campaign on "Hard" before joining us in multi-player to get familiar the game. It takes about 6 hours and is a very nice primer on the basics of the game. Or you could join our resident geniuses/MLG pro-gamers Brent and Colin and just jump right in to multiplayer and wing it .
