Doing a serious winter overhaul. It might not exist, but I'm looking for a prison cart texture with a snowy or frosty looking cart. Dug around even in the oldrim mods but i can only find normal re textures. I just feel like I may have seen something like this a long time ago.. Thanks

I just installed the ALOT texture mods for Me3 off of nexus. I went through the whole process with the installer and downloaded everything. Game looks amazing except the neck part of my tech armor flickers when I aim or move. Any idea what can cause this? Maybe the femshep complexion tweak? I guess a better way to say it would be the neck texture of the tech armor "disapears".

Just for fun, 9900K vs 9800X. Assuming they're clocked at the same boost clock. Would the architecture on the 9800X offer any "computational advantage" over the 9900k for any types of mods that uses CPU? Textures, shadows, physics, scripts.. (not totally sure about this list)

We'll get the 8700K, that's a lot of headroom to OC later too. Thank you for the insight. Ya I agree on 4k, Ill wait for better refresh and prices

The 7800X has the same core count as the 8700K. Does it still have a higher IPC? Also the GPU is a GTX 1080.

Z390 or Z370 whichever I find a better deal on. We are plugging extra SSDs into the CPU lanes. My roommate works on ground data system telemetry from satellites. (Not as fancy as it sounds, hes still in school.) So he needs a bunch of drives to simulate the streaming of data to and from multiple points. He doesn't like chipset lanes as they have traffic on them from other devices. Also, CPU lanes are more reflective of the kind of hardware hes coding for. We agreed to combine our money and do a nicer build than we could alone. It'll work because we have opposite schedules. When schools over in 4 years, we'll either sell it or split the parts and build our own new machines. Both of these systems meet his needs fine. My question is about running skyrim with crazy mods. All I need to know is, in theory, which system will bottleneck first running a heavily modded skyrim or similar? LGA 2066 CPU 7800X with the GPU at x16 or LGA 1151 8700K with the GPU at x8? Or is there really no way to tell?

Hi, I'm building a new PC but can't decide what platform I want to use. It's for more than just gaming, so I have to make some compromises somewhere. Based on the most demanding Skyrim mods out for Oldrim and SSE, which of these systems would bottleneck first with a large number of mods running? And will having my GPU at x8 ever make a difference even with the most resource intensive Skyrim mods running? Build 1: an Intel X299 build with a 7800X, 7820X, or 9800X CPU. (GPU at x16) A lot of posts say these cpus are bad for gaming. Due to the Mesh instead of Ringbus, a smaller L3 cache, the cache being "non inclusive", ect... However on a lot of benchmarks they don't appear to be that far behind the Z390 CPUs for gaming. However, non of these benchmarks test modded games which is why I'm asking here. Build 2: An intel Z390 build with the GPU at x8 instead of x16. 8700K CPU. Everything else about these builds will be the same: single GPU, same amount of RAM. No plans to overclock until after warranties expire. I'll be using 2k or 4k monitor. Thanks
