Although I'm considered an exceptional driver, never had any accident's because my fault, raced rally and track, also motorcycles (had one bad fall),have been driving for over 60 years, I can't do any driving sims any good. Every 5 year old is better than me.
I do better at flight sims because of instruments but if you try "Seat of pants" flying you are bound to fail because there's no physical feedback. Just like with real flying, instruments are more accurate than any feeling.

There you go, dude. It sure wasn't pretty. "No, I'm not going to wave off".

As far as I know, you should always land from a left hand turn, aim for second wire and apply full power just as hook is supposed to catch. Pilots refer to carrier landing as "Controlled crash" because you need full power on in case you miss the wires and have to do touch and go. Jet engines have a slow spin up and by the time it kicks in you'd be overboard. I don't see the "Ball" in the instruments or at the stern.

LOL. Who needs VIP status

(or any status) when accolades like that are being handed out. That's "Golden".

Well @specialkone I was about to do that ROTR gameplay vid that you asked for, and apparently ROTR now hates me. It crashed to a black screen on the first launch, and now crashes with a "A fatal error occurred while initializing the audio subsystem" error every time I try to launch. Once I get the issue figured out, I'll run through the game a bit and upload the footage.

OK, thanks.

Wow! GTAV and now ROTTR. Is that also ROTTR on an insider build?

Nah, I just did a clean install of CU today. I got the ROTR issue figured out, though. I had installed a newer audio driver today. Once I reverted to an older Realtek driver, it started working again.

Here's a little over 4 minutes of gameplay that I cut down to 2.5 because of cutscenes and whatnot. It's full of spoilers for the Baba Yaga DLC though.

First, thank you, second, that's one incredible gaming system you have there. Looks like it would handle anything with ease, your 1440P or even 4K.

It's a little hard for me to compare. My ONE 1080 is hitting 99% usage and clocks to (only 1926) with the 76C-78C. I see the max your GPU 1 hits is 70C. But then again your usage (low 60's %) is being shared in SLI and the TI clocks are about 100 MHZ less than me.

So I'm about 8 C higher than you. My fan curve is 10 higher than temps ( so 70C has the fans at 80%). Room temp is about 25C. Are your curves similar? Is that 70C being hit in other games you play, or just ROTTR?

Thanks again.

Here's my curve:

According to the sensor in my case, the inside of my case is usually around 26-29C while gaming, and ambient temp is usually around 23-25C in the summer. 70C tends to be around the average for my top GPU while gaming, although some games like Ark and GTA will push the temps more towards 74-76C. If I accidentally close Afterburner, though, I've seen temps on my top card hit 90C. Overall, I've been pretty pleasantly surprised by the temps, considering my cards are Founders Editions. Temps don't really leave a lot of room for overclocking though.
