Oolite Bulletins

Happy holidays and best wishes to all.

That sword is ridiculous. Have you ever see any weapon more likely to maim its owner rather than his enemy?

My thought too. I can't see how you can avoid mutilation using it in a fight.

I doubt that solo online equals single player. So i will pass too, unless proven wrong <wishfull thinking>.

On the bright side Oolite looks and feels even better on the rig i have build for ED

Hmmm... i will postpone for now the purchase of ED to see how things turn out. Do i see subscription down the road or is my idea?

Someone suggested this program to me in an another forum. It seems interesting.

i set my dead zones at max so now i will have to trim them back to see when the drift starts.

I have the same stick. I have set the range on all axes to 6 and i don't have to mess with deadzones. It works better this way for me.

Running on my desktop



CPU i7 4790K 4.4 GHz (Turbo boost mode)
GPU Gigabyte GTX-970 G1 Gaming
RAM 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Extra detail 215 FPS (240 FPS facing station)

on my laptop (i5 M460 2.53GHz, 4 GB DDR3 532MHz, Ati Mobility Radeon HD 565v).

I am expecting today a GTX-970 for the ring i am building and i will post when i will set it up.

EDIT:OS Win7 Home Premium 64 bit

With the money saved I am replacing CPU with an i7 4790k 4.0Ghz.

In turbo boost mode it clocks at 4.4Ghz. As for O/C all modern CPUs have thermal cutouts for protection. The worst thing that can happen is that you can't boot and in that case you revert to the default settings.

Nice system. I am waiting for a review when you get your hands on it. It is close to what i am building.
The PSU will come in handy in the future and more RAM didn't hurt anybody.

PS: I don't thing you will have problem playing Oolite

I mean you don't need a M/B with onboard GPU for backup. I am aiming to a GTX 770 too.

GTX 770 (and GTX 780) have minimum power requirements a system with 600W PSU so it will be ok a 650W. But i went to a 760W to be in the safe side.

I am leaning towards i7 4790K with the on die GPU (no need for a GPU on the M/B).

The CPU/MB/RAM will go all in one so i can test them.

You can test that bundle before fitting it into the case too - simply jump-start the mobo (with it connected to the PSU, of course).

That's the way i do it. Especially when i am troubleshooting and i have to test many parts.

@ StathisR: you can test the PSU with the old paper-clip trick and a case fan - google it.

Good to know. Thanks
