    Anyone Else Recently Build A Bad@** PC in Reponse to upcoming 1.1?

    Seriously happy with the upgrade.

    KSP runs beautifully, though COH2 doesn't rate my GPU highly (no surprises there).

    i turned off the 4.1ghz overclock as I haven't managed to build anything that's requires it.

    My imagination tends to run out at around 200 parts. I guess that's a habit left over from the slow pc days :)

    With your set up before and after. I could see no other outcome except for gleaming smiles. 

    I am quite happy again with mine. 

    Getting a GTX 980 for less then 300$ caused the obvious happy dance. Not KSP needed per say, though I wish KSP has a larger graphical need. But your 650 will work fine I think for the life of KSP. 

     

    Push your CPU to the limit. I'm wanting that "Burn Together" mod to get updated so i can launch Massive space Stations all at once and fly to orbit. Get 2, 500+ part station/base modules launched at the same time but on different cpu cores.

    Damn.

    Well I would go for the 6700k....Because I did. 

    I'm super stoked for 1.1. I really like my Aio Cooler too.

    If your gonna go big. Then go big. Dont forget looking for open box deals and what not. I dont pay retail for anything. Takes longer but I have saved a ton on my current PC by deal hunting. 

    6700k was roughly 350usd 

    gtx 980 <300usd 

    H100i <80

    16gb ddr4 2400mhz <60

    ect ect..

     

    good luck.

    p.s. Unless your super desperate....dont get an i3. Youll prob end up disappointed. And thats really kinda anti the end goal...

    This thread is about 1.1 which will use mutli-core, includes 64bit and will be much more optimized. Most likely it will not need a badass PC.

     

    Will not need Does not =  Can not use. 

     

    The chase for better performance will never be won, and will never end. Right now, a 500 part Station or base is considered huge and laggy. With 1.1 and its 64bit and multi thread. That will will be pushed further, but will not be removed.

     

    Its like shooters and reloading their own rounds. Reloading your own rounds doesn't make shooting cheaper. You just end up shooting more.

     

    Same deal I think here I think, 500 part stations will be the new "average" and a 2000 part monstrosity will become the new death blow to FPS. And when that day comes, you can bet there will be people like me, who will OC the hell out of their system trying to get 2001 parts to chug smoothly. 

     

    So in part I agree with you. 

    NO ONE NEEDS TO UPGRADE THEIR PC TO PLAY 1.1

    But a new high end PC with 1.1 vs my old PC and 1.0.5 will (hopefully) have such a tremendous increase in performance that it will take me months before I run into that wall again..

    I've had a computer that should be more then capable of running KSP at max settings, no upgrades needed here (for KSP)

    Windows 10 64bit

    i5 4690k OC to 4.5

    2x HD6950's crossfired

    480gb SSD

    8gb RAM

    I'm gravy. Its the game that being a turkey during high part counts (no ways directed at Dr. Turkey)

    I can't wait for multi-core processing. Its gotten to the point where I'm trying to not get my hopes too high.

    Getting a new 800$ GPU is not really going to help out this game. Its more CPU oriented, so yea. The 980ti is my wishlist, but in no way specifically for KSP. The only thing that will give significant performance increase will be a restructuring of how the workload is distributed on the CPU cores. I'd be willing to bet the CPU's better then the i5 4690k get very minimal performance gaines over mine in terms of fps during similar loads, on KSP. Video editing and super fancy other things I have no idea about probably a different story, but if that machine was built just for KSP you spent WAYYYY toooo much moneh. Just my 2 cents, ill be honest though I will say im jealous, a 6700k and 980ti are practically on everyone's wishlist.

    For the record, when viewing my spacestation with 900 parts and just under 1k tons (3 different ships docked with it), I get between 5 and 10 fps with the physics delta time set to .02, lowest setting. 

    Without knowing how much someone actually spent. That's really impossible to accurately comment on. I haven't bought anything at retail price in the last 15 years probably.

    I didn't have 23.5 to test. But I ran that Benchmark ship on my OC 6700k, and got about 20 FPS from launch on 1.0.5 

    20FPS for 600 parts I thought was pretty damned impressive.

    Once the parts dropped out of physics range it sky rocketed really quickly.

    I did read Claws post about the physics and delta T slider.

    And results from the test are comparable if everyone uses the same settings. 

    I ran a GTX 760 for quite a while and it was never the bottle neck for KSP.

    Why not buy a workstation, while you are at it? Run 4 instances of KSP at once!

    I do.

    sorta.

    Couple KSP games open, A career and sandbox for "simulation". Nextflix, any homework programs I "Should " be doing like autocad/soliworks. With Sony vegas rendering that weekends paintball game recap. 

    HT FTW!!!

     

    Edit:

    I will say, that room does get toasty in the summer. And stays quite comfortable in the winter.

    Thanks for your reply and advice.. unfortunately, i saw a I7 4790K at £220 and think its a good deal and bought it.....

    luckily I kept the r9 380 than 390 that saved me £120 plus.....

    took me half hour to dock in my Spaceship Minimus Mrk4 in 1600:900 ...XDXD

    looking forward to play proper KSP =D

     

    Sounds like you did Mighty fine.

    And will play pretty much everything just fine. 

    I am curious though, when 1.1 hits with its muti thread support. ( I know its up to Squad to properly implement it)

    Will all the anti hyper threading people get shut down? 

     

    Anyway, you have a nice set up. Make sure you push it hard and get some good enjoyment out of it.

    I guess I misrepresented myself or my computer in my OP....

    Actually no, I didn't. I think people misunderstood the purpose of the thread. I wasn't asking for advice on what to get, there already is a thread for that. I was trying to share my excitement with what I got.

    All this "you don't need, waste of money ect ect" makes me kinda sad. 

    I am excited for the NVME 3d M.2 SSD also. KSP will find its home in one, 

    Liquid cooling is a must, not really. But if you are gonna spend 70$ on an air cooler, just buy a AiO loop instead. I'm super happy with it, anyone who gets one will be happy with it. Provided it can be mounted in the case. Otherwise It can be a pain.

    Someday Ill have a nice custom loop set up. I dare someone to say " You don't need it, its a waste". Do it....Do it..

    Pretty much any GPU is plenty for KSP, But not for Oculus rift. 

    DDR4 was the same price as DDR3 when i bought it. And it was all the mother board supported. So, why not get it?
