I am in the process of upgrading my rig to play the game and I watched several hours of gameplay and shipyard builder. I ve noticed the layers inside the ships communicate with a ladder and give me the feel of a submarine and not a sci-fi spaceship that travels at the speed of light. Is it possible to create a mod with a room that looks like an elevator, click buttons (desired layer) and teleport there with a small sound like an elevator, many games have that kind of transition, swtor, mass effect, etc.

I am in the process to upgrade my old gpu (GTX 780) with a new one and I have decided after a long research for an RTX 4070 12g . I also do photography and I use some adobe's and of course I play video games. Starfield and power consumption is a couple of the reasons I am upgrading, and I also believe its a good thing for my rig as well, no more bottleneck (I have an AMD 5600X with 32gigs of rams at 3600 by crucial). I always invest into built quality stuff, so even if I have access into MSI, Gigabyte, GAINWARD, PALIT, ZOTAC and ASUS brands. I decided to buy a gainward or palit version of the 4070. The reason is the after-sale service and customer support in a combination with built quality. I read allot about MSI shady things, cheap gigabyte and zotac and lately not many good things for ASUS as well. What is your opinion and, I have no prev experience with palit or gainward (I know it is the same company), in which vesion of RTX4070 should I invest my money. They have many models, phantom, jetstream, ghost, etc etc

take notice that I am dyslexic. Character creator I give it 3 A's (AAA). I love to spend lots of time creating my character and not something totally premade and ends up the same faces for all my characters (eg SWTOR). So I love this game because of the character creator. I uploaded 2 videos already about it, I provide with links from my utube. My videos Female Breton character creation http://youtu.be/UwTyGs7nM0M Male Redguard character creation http://youtu.be/zNeT7w1WzEs Graphics In my compuer runs with 40-100 fps at ULTRA settings. Its smooth, only few areas I experience some dramatic frame drops, but these areas are very few. The in game world is beautiful, only some areas are not well made, as an example, small grass clifs, are like flat polygons. But these can be improved in times. I love the sun effects, the waters, the weather effects, fog, etc. Textures are fine... Animations I believe the game have some difficulties there. The way the character runs is funny, or when I jump into the air, its more like falling from a tower and it gives you the feel that your character is like a feather!! You feel no weight in your characters movements... Skyrim is better in that one! I also provide a 10 seconds video, of how it looks, if someone gets a mount (horse). The horse is moving funny!! You have to fix these things. Looking at a mounted player looks cheesy the way he moves http://youtu.be/jTDKg8ATQhY Combat system The first thing I notice is the luck of choosing my spells with the mouse. I have to use both, keyboard for the spells and mouse for moving and rotating all the time. I know that they want to keep the elder schrolish thing, but they could give some more free to our control experience. To choose. Questing Some quests gave me the creeps, the indicator is buggy in many of them and the rewards are not very good. Some more quests choices would due. Quest rewards give you some gold and each kill gives you 1 gold?! They have to fix that... random gold drops from kills, not 1 per kill. Other bugs Minimizing the game is a problem, it's not working properly and sometimes not working at all. Shadowplay for NVIDIA gpus, is not working. No mini map! we have to stop and check all time the map by pressing M button. No information given what we loot from our kills, if we have AUTOLOOT selected, we have to open our bags and check. The game have lots of things to kill, explore and loot, but the bag space and the bank space, are limited. We need more merchants in the quest take/give areas, because we also need to repair! Some areas didnt have at all, only major cities and villages. Things and features, that I have a bad feeling about. instead of AH we have guild stores and we can join up to 5 guilds (?). I believe that this will shrink and destroy smaller guilds. 1) A player will join a populated guild with the most active people, be able to trade 2) A guild will try to coop with equal or bigger guilds to make their members more satisfied... So I believe it will end up being a fiasco and thousands will start complaining in the ESO forums. This feature will bring up "super guilds" or no guilds at all. Mega servers may be convinient, but naming our characters will be a huge issue from the first week! Marriege between players to get more experience. I believe its a bad feature and it gives wrong example and values of an action such as marriege between 2 indeviduals, especially the kids. Only to have more xp... I would suggest them to allow us marry an NPC instead and use it as a merchant (read bellow). Than a real person/friend. Some suggestions Suggestion 1 The idea is to hire services from major towns. An NPC merchant to sell our stuff across all alliances... You can place your items for sale to them, with YOUR desired price and your desired amount of time, you send it out and the NPC spawns in populated areas as (our) personal merchant/shop. This could also be limited by the amount of items we are about to sale. For example, we cannot send out our merchants with 5-10 items, we must gather a respectable amount of resources and items, be able to hire it. This merchant could be our spouse! Instead marrying a real person. That could be good, for selling your stuff into other alliances!... When and if they implement houses/towers/castles for guilds and players, we could have our own NPC's doing that job... I personally highly support the idea of a hireling, especially when we get our housing, mostly for services (such as selling our stuff). ps: Thats why we also need a better system for tracking npc's in world MAP, so we can track down NPC's with services. That would also make the world more alive, because there is no traveling merchants anyways. Suggestion 2 I would suggest them to make the feature housing more spicy, than a just plain house, because just a house, sounds and is boring. And bellow is how I imagine it and want it to be. Housing for guilds and individuals. Castles for guilds and towers for individuals. 1) to be obtained/created : needs lots of mini quests, farming materials and gold. Shapes and sizes of castles and towers, may vary. Each time we save a village or a town, we can have access to that. 2) Be able to hire "hirelings" as a personal army or guards inside our keep's, totally modifiable, be able to add defensive systems (traps) inside our keep's and through missions be able to add mythical or rare beasts in specific floor/rooms/cages (the reason explained bellow), the treasure maps could be a good use for it! Also the hirelings, can be modified and dress them with the desired tiers and emblems. 3) The keep's can be used for resting, accommodate a friend, vendors, etc. 4) Be able to use the keep's as a DUNGEON. If another guild or group of people, wants to challenge me, in a unique experience (4 man for towers or 24 man for castles), through an invite or queue system, they will have to face my armies, beasts and tower or castle defenses. If I accept the chalenge ofcourse. (that means, both have to enter in the queue, the host and the intruder). 5) to be potentially for both sides to win. If I am good enough and I have strong defenses inside my tower or castle, I win rewards and titles and respect from my hirelings. If they win my defenses (with a timer maybe for small towers), they get all rewards. The towers and castles to have a dynamic system of getting damage and me (the owner) if I lose, I have to repair, replace all the damages with lots of gold and finding other hirelings. 6) that idea gives you enormous amount of dungeons, without even needed to create them!! The players do. Also the difficulty will vary from a keep-to another keep. 7) the castles, as a more complicated and bigger dungeon, can hold more surprises compared to the towers. The final boss could be a (24v24 pvp arena!!) guild vs guild. And whoever stands alive - last, wins. I hope you liked the features I want to see in game...

Another 'Help Me Build a Computer' thread
ermacos replied to Tsukika's topic in Hardware and software discussion
i am dyslexic so i couldn't read all of it, so you need a ready solution? or custom built. Already solution is about 50%+ more expensive and some parts from the ready solutions are to stock out the specific product.. lol I would suggest you to find a person that you have close to your family and who knows how to do it. So you can get custom parts. I dont know if you prefer NVIDIA or AMD, but AMD at this point have better offers in their GPUs. But they are HOT. even the custom solutions are getting HOT. But Nvidia is going to release their next gpus near October and November!!! The witcher 3 will be a promotion for the new Nvidia GPUs at that time. Because it uses new Physx. I personally got a gtx780 and I am very happy, i may sli it. I run everything current at highest settings and at very high fps. for someone who looks NOW to get a new gpu, I would suggest him to wait till Octomber... But you need a whole built... so at this point : Nvidia runs cooler, less power consumption and 5-10% less fps than AMD (GTX 780 ti excluded because the TI version is superb), Nvidia has better SLI, gsync, physx and many other new fx extensions, plus CUDA. AMD have more computing gpu power, 5-10% better performance in many games, and the low end AMD gpus are used for BIT COINS. But the high end AMD gpus are HOT and the so called MANTLE is postponed, nobody knows if it will perform, when and if it comes.. (they are also cheaper). But they consume more electricity. I give you an example... my ASUS gtx780 consumes 225watt at stress, runs at 64c, while the AMD r9 290 - 290x, consume about 50watt more and runs much more hot. Its many things that you have to consider, before you buy something. The idea of me is to sli my gtx780 thats why I choose something that performs really good and consumes less power. Here is some real performance in SWTOR game (the channel and the video is mine), make the video 1080p and fullscreen, so you can look the frames per second. As for skyrim, without mods, my gtx 780 all maxxed out and with old cpu... It runs 140fps! -

then gen the 6 core :smile: R4 is a nice case for airflow, but the one I posted makes the difference. You are a youtuber? -
Need assistance specing £1000+ system
ermacos replied to alexoc's topic in Hardware and software discussion
can you please tell us the purpose of your built? Are u a modeler, 3d, moding, gaming, video, etc ? Just to understand your need about the 6 core cpu built. If you are just a gamer, are you enthusiast level? ...? Btw, I LOVE THIS pc case... its the only case I ve seen that takes easy, up to 7-8 radiators!!! 2x480 , 2x380 , 4x 240 (and it costs cheap!! 220 $ about that) if you get Z87 motherboard, get the b2 versions (something like that) -
Full Mantle demo and conference of what it is capable of
ermacos replied to Thor.'s topic in Hardware and software discussion
happy new year!.. The problem with it so far, I hear allot of performance boost, but I haven't seen any demo comparison... " before and after "... So Oxide game looks nice, but it may run in an NVIDIA better, who knows. When I hear about Mantle demo, I need to see a comparison. Why they delayed mantle? I haven't heard anything about release "yet", it was supposed to be released last month? -
Sudden Slow Game Performance
ermacos replied to crackerjack15's topic in Hardware and software discussion
I downloaded the GFORCE experience with NVIDIA drivers, that allows you to capture video shadow play... This application does that automatically! it detects all games in your hdd and adds the ideal profile settings depends your graphics card. -
Sudden Slow Game Performance
ermacos replied to crackerjack15's topic in Hardware and software discussion
check for viruses maybe? Did you modified the skyrimprefs files and ini? Maybe u did something there? Try another game. Also. what about your CPU? Skyrim is cpu limited, because of xbox... If your cpu is strong, your gpu performs at maximum, if its slow, it limits your fps... -

Sudden Slow Game Performance
ermacos replied to crackerjack15's topic in Hardware and software discussion
did u install the latest nvidia drivers? many reported that their performance dropped! they suggest this driver 314.22 and here the link to download them... before u install them, enter safe mode and clean sweap ur prev drivers, also clean ur registry http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-314.22-whql-driver.html because the newer, dropes fps about 60-70!! here is a topic in overclockers. http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=58459 -
Considering a GPU Upgrade.
ermacos replied to ZeroSaber39's topic in Hardware and software discussion
I picked samsumg because of the warranty... I always pick quality over performance. I dont know if the samsumg performance is better, i got attracted by the warranty size. 5 years is more than enough. -
Considering a GPU Upgrade.
ermacos replied to ZeroSaber39's topic in Hardware and software discussion
I bought a samsung 840 pro 128 gb, only for boot. I use a fast normal hdd for the "program files", but I will use my ssd for antivirus, peripheral drivers, etc. It comes with 5 years warranty. Here is the 256gigs edition http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147193 its the same thing, only more space and more "write" speed. If I wanted to load my games with an ssd, I would use 1 x 128 gigs for boot and 1 x for games and programs. -
Ive searched that long ago, if you check amazon reviews, there is a big number of customers that destroyed their gpus ... lol :smile: And you definitely lose your warranty, because this solution is permanent. I may don't have to pick another card, because they said, "they will have it" in one and a half weeks". But till then, the custom solution 290s and 290x's will come. I also learned, that AMD made a restriction/NDA to 3rd companies (asus, msi, gigabyte, etc), not to make custom cooling solutions till middle of December or something. I believe, that was the stupidest think they ever done. So I lifted an NDA to them as well.

my old case is very small, "storm scout" it could fit up to 23.9cm gpus, my gtx480 was touching the walls!! 24.1cm... The new card is 29! The case is the same materials as a haf x... here is the proof and look what it can fit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opf6nN0ndr0 and in overclockers they have a guide to mod it for a 360 rad... I wanted storm-trooper case, but its out of stock and they will have it again in february!! Because its almost the end of the year and all distributors sell their stocks and clossing their annum logistic books... clearance. After all, haf XM case have amazing reviews and the size is just right. Anyway my final decision came just after I took the offers for the cards... I choose ASUS direct cu2 OC gtx780 , I may change it gain, because its out of stock and asus have limited distribution for this card, as its a custom gpu....If they cannot find it the next following weeks, I may get a custom cooler 290. The new 290s will come in 3 weeks. If that happens, I will get an Asus direct cu2 OC radeon 290 ,
