So I finally got my new system up and running, Xeon E3-1231v3 and nvidia GTX 1070. Last time I ran SC, it was on a 270x with an i5 2500... Butter smooth at 1080p!
But do you know what was even better?! I have to run this over steam streaming! I do not have an office any more (2nd child stole that room!) so I'm on my work laptop, running steam streaming via AC wireless (haven't fitted a network port near the dining room yet). Issues with Wireless latency as to be expected, but it was beautiful, fast and wonderful!
Still need to get my config sorted and a network cable in to my 48 port switch will solve the other issues but yay(!) it works so well! Steam streaming to the rescue!
Anyway, I like the changes to the interface and its starting to come together... My brief flying of the freelancer seemed better but I still can't shoot properly.. Need to practice lots!
Bring on planet landings!
