Zero compromises.

You're preaching to the choir. Wrong quote.

Did you tick the "Ignore Suggested Limit" checkbox? Probably that. I crank everything up on mine as well, so that checkbox is the first thing I tick. I even dragged the draw distance bar to the furthest I can without tanking my FPS too much.

On second thought, cancel that. There's tons of other variables in the game that isnt mentioned what settings they put it on. I tried on 4K and I get between 55-70fps depending on settings/levels are set. Unless they mention settings specifics, can't be sure.

Bang for the buck indeed. As in the bang you'll hear when your motherboard goes up in smoke. Hopefully just the motherboard, coz it'll no longer be a "budget system" when you have to replace everything.

That's because people here wants "all the bangs, but dont want to spend the bucks".

They'll get a different kind of "bang" with the RX480 because of that.

Because hot air exhausted OUTSIDE the case (reference cards) is always better than lingering hot air circulating INSIDE the case (as in the case of AIB cards).

I'm partial to both, but "right tools for the right task". Some of us are running SFF builds, and fat cards in SFF case is like a obese person trying to fit through a crack on a wall.

I see where AIB cards hold its appeal, only thing is, YOU are now responsible in exhausting the hot air out of the case. And when some of the budding new users building their system cant even grasp the concept of why GPUs can kill motherboards, and you leave the task of vacating those hot circulating air inside an open case to themselves? Some of them even skimped on fans, "because noisy", and left one intake and one outake, with less that ideal positive airflow going out of the case.

Lessons are learned, that's the nature of doing something new. But at the expense of the cost you paid for choosing the wrong component for the wrong reason. "Right tools for the right task" again.

Personally to me, AIB cards looks hideous. When I have certain themes in my build, they either clashes with that theme, or even when they're the same color, they look like they're designed by a 7-8 year old that play with big giant robot toys with neon lights.

You and me both are willing to go that extra mile to make them match. Others I've seen dont even give a shit to aesthetics anymore and when their builds are finished and you look through the open side panel, it looks like rainbow alright......but like someone vomited rainbow paint in odd location inside the case and think that's beautiful.

Just look at all the examples you see from the recent Computex 2016: Neons and RGBs everywhere. I guess the 2016 motto is, "if you cant improve on your aesthetic designs, blind them with RGB". LOL!

Not even 24 hours already buyer's remorse?

Go for it. Just remember buy ori games. Steam sales now. Dont be like the douche I read in FB group that have the RM3K to buy one but cant afford games and downloading cracks instead. Can afford car, cant afford petrol.

Great scores for both. Shiki's even better considering his is a 2600K.

Here's mine.

4.8Ghz CPU OC, and 1080 OCed to 2012Mhz core 10800Mhz memory.

Do not hype it. We all know what happened on the "other side".

Discuss is fine. Just dont over expect anything.

Better than mine on temp, but mine is inside an SFF case. 2012 core 10800 memory 78C temp. your scores are very good, I'd say.

FE. 60% fan all the time with custom V/F curve. Rig is behind TV, with aircon blowing onto it. Room temp 24-26C.

Im not worried about the temp. Core clock stayed at 2012Mhz core clock 10800Mhz memory clock all the time, right up to that 78C.

82C is the throtlling wall, so right up to 82c, your core and memory OC stays at whatever it needs to right up to the maximum you've set (in my case 2012/10800) and the card stays 78C at maximum load, drops to 55-60C at normal gaming run.

If that game ever released. Alpha version 2 already. People usually stop once past 0.99.

Maybe when that game releases, nobody cares anymore already. Or have games like No Man's Sky already replacing its interest.

At least NMS got release date. Star Citizen? A big fat "2016". Can be tomorrow, can be 31st December 2016 at 11:59:59. Bleh.

In the meantime, I play Elite Dangerous on VR.

Not a huge fan either, but because "Steam Summer Sale". Star Citizen is more interesting to me because of the encompassing aspect of the game, from cockpit to internal view in FPS, and then space battles.

I just bought SFV, I made a promise to myself that I wont be buying it in its prevous form because no story mode and no arcade. Only made for online play. Bleh. Now they added Story Mode, still no arcade, they as you play Survival if want to play arcade mode. At least it's cheaper, because "Steam Summer Sale".
