OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Looks like you will need 6 cables.

24-pin ATX
8-pin EPS
8-pin PCI-E
6-pin PCI-E
SATA Power
SATA 3 Data

EPS is for CPU and PCI-E for graphics card.

Looking at that motherboard and it only has 1 system fan header. The Noctua fan does come with a Y-cable to connect two fans to one header though.

Also, you could go with faster memory (3000MHz). Not really a big deal, but it could become more and more beneficial in the future.

Do I want the 8+6 PCI-E cable?

That would work and be one less cable, but I would personally go with two separate cables for the graphics card. Less current and load on a single port and cable. The Titan X requires a 6 pin and an 8 pin.

Tempted to upgrade my 750ti to the new 1050ti in my Home Theater PC/Gaming living room PC. No cable needed is a plus, going to have to keep an eye out for the benchmarks.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I saw that was already in the top charts of Steam, kind of interested as well.

Also, Steam updated their UI (in the beta client at least) .. not sure I'm a fan yet.

It's always needed a lot of work, was just used to how they were doing it. Really not a fan of the queues, and they're putting more focus on them it seems.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Yeah, Steam has a dev video, I'm not really listening to him through the accent so I have the news on and im just kinda watching it ... kind of in awe.

Think this screenshot sold me. Dangit, trying to get to bed now I have to read more about this game.

Oh man, after this screenshot he zoomed in, added a parallel section of track and signals and effectively doubled his capacity. Awesome.

Would be neat if w didn't build the towns, and had to build our infrastructure to suit their organic growth. For example in Nevada we're trying to build a stadium, and it's interfering with current transportation plans (existing plans need to be sped up, potentially bumping others). That would be a neat thing to have to solve in this, I like random elements kind of like that.

Anyways, don't know what I'm talking about yet. Time for sleep, will read more tomorrow.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Yeah now I'm watching a lot of videos.... Of course with my body on night shift mode I'm wide awake so... probably will cost me some $

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Yeah, finished the video I was watching (15 minute gameplay video on Steam) and after he built the airport and stuff I purchased it.

Only $7 out of pocket, still had some money left over from my No Man's Sky refund, lol.

Damn you! Lol.... We'll see how long I can hold off. With grabbing the Pro plus already planting seed about wanting new PC I need to watch my step.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Day 1 Steam Workshop support as well, sandbox mode with no $$, and 2 7 mission campaigns that provide sufficient hand holding but let you still do your own thing to meet goals.

These are all great for gaming ADD
