With this PC, I have to turn down a number of settings in Elite Dangerous when I land on planets, otherwise the frame-rate hit is nausea-inducing.

Some games I can set at ultra settings and it's fine, some stuff not so much. This will most likely all change with the release of the Pascal line of video cards in Q2 '16, but right now a single 980 (I can't speak about the ti's) isn't enough to run Elite Dangerous on max settings while driving around on planets.

reall? the specs on that game are pretty low. Never played it but from what im seeing your bottle-necking something fierce somewhere if you have to turn down settings with that build

Where is the bottleneck these days?

I have completely lost touch with the tech...It used to be the HDD to processor channel?

Will accept a one-phrase answer if pals don't care to elaborate.

i see he has liquid cooling so chances are the processor stays plently cool. He could be using a cheap low rpm hdd. 5400 is really crappy. Im using a 7200 rpm atm but want to get a 10000 rpm and a ssd for my OS. his Graphics card could be over heating which would reduce frame-rate. Also his psu could be starting to die. Something i see alot. Even the expensive ones like his die. I had a corsair tx 750 die with in 4 months. They replaced it of course but it still died. I noticed frame rates going down about two weeks before it died and then my pc would redscreen wich normally means not enough power or graphic card issues. im not sure what the max operable temps are on a 980 but i have had my hd 7970 up to 75c during a furmark benchmark .

[Dillian]

i like his case though. what one is it? The brown fans are a bit of a turn off though lol

Force feedback could be done with a system of pistons, pulleys, or lockable joints all over the suit that would prevent you from moving a certain way (like if you cross sabers with someone and cannot move your saber further on it's arc)

this doesn't sound theoretically impossible but so expensive and clumsy and laughable as to remove any real ability to market it. If it did exist it'd be something you'd have to pay money to play in some kind of a gaming establishment.

It would be cool if arcades returned as places to use specialized and expensive VR hardware, but I doubt that the market is there to justify the specialized R&D required to make this particular contraption and the software to go with it if it couldn't be put in every household. I am hoping that the new gaming peripherals like treadmills and reactive rooms and such will trigger the return of meatspace gaming spots though.

The dream is something more like a faux sword that can be suspended in midair and have forces applied to it using some kind of an electrical or magnetic field in a charged enclosure. Whether this is even theoretically possible with current tech I don't know enough about physics to say. Calling Tesla & Lune.

I just want a game where I get to be a samurai by physically moving my body. I'll call it VR and suck your dick and pay you a year's salary when you make it happen, even if it's primitive as shit and requires me to put on an Iron Man suit. This has been my dream since the beginning of videogames, and playing that stupid camera-controlled fighting game at the Gameworks in Vegas that played canned punching / kicking animations when it saw you punching and kicking. It's really fucking sad that Bushido Blade is still the absolute pinnacle of this genre.

Bro just study kendo like I did. There's nothing quite like sparring.


Also, something like this but full body:

The minimum VR specs are significantly higher than those of the main game; if you look under the VR section of their site, you'll see they call for a 970.

There is no bottle neck in the PC; it's a matter of overall bandwidth in that the GTX 980 I have just can't render all settings in ultra at 75hz. The 1080 or whatever they call the Pascal cards will probably be able to do it, when VR headsets support SLI a second 980 will probably be able to do it, but right now the only solution is to turn down the settings. A Titan might be able to do it, but I highly doubt it and I'm not willing to make a thousand dollar gamble on a same-generation card.

The HDD configuration is 1 250GB Samsung 850 for Windows, 1 250 Samsung 850 for VR games (currently houses only Elite Dangerous), and one 2TB Western Digital 7200 Enterprise Edition HDD for other games.

The case is a Fractal R5, I got it because it does not have a gaudy window on the side, fits in my desk, and can mount a 280MM radiator.

The fans are Noctua's purchased for their ability to move lots of air quietly and not for their looks. I buy internals based on performance, nothing else factors into my decision. Why is the RAM striped red and black? Because when I had to RMA one of the kits to Corsair, all they had available was a black kit, and when I originally bought the ram all Amazon had in stock was a red kit.
