New Career Mode Hype!

[Virussssy]

Is anyone excited to see the update for career mode too? I been waiting and waiting for it. I can't wait any longer! lol.

[TwinBless]

Same! hope they have many new cool features ready for us! :D (especialy interactions/events with own PC)

[Virussssy]

I hope they add something that makes you upgrade your "work" computer. As of right now, you can go through the whole career mode without upgrading it if you don't want to.

i did it anyway because i got bored and had money to spare XD

I just picked it up from the Chrono.gg deal but I'm wary of going too far since saves won't carry over, so I stopped at level 7. I wish they'd give an update on the expected release date.

just continue anyway, get a feel for the game, get to the overclocking etc.

I did a 3DMark job where I was able to overclock the CPU and RAM which was fun. I was impressed that when I added a Crossfire setup, my stable overclock started overheating lol. I haven't unlocked video card overclocking yet, but is it worth pushing through just for that when I'll be starting over, most likely in just a few days?

The next update has no ETA, Could be another 2 or 3 weeks. I'd just keep going and learn more about parts and builds. Every piece of ram, gpu, cpu are different. (Differant Temps, Volts, Watts) Pretty fun when you can take a piece of "good" ram and overclock it like 200% :P

Adding a second video card of course causes the system to draw more power and produce more heat. It's going to potentially run over the capacity of your power supply (when it didn't before), and make your processor run hotter than single-card, which can also make it crash.

And if you have never played with video card overclocking, then I would suggest playing with it in free build mode to get an idea of what gpu overclocking is like, since like you said you'll just have to restart in a few days anyway.

Right. I was just impressed that the game accounted for the increased heat inside the case. Though it did fail to account for the side panels being open, near as I can tell. Still, solid effort.

I've done it several times in real life with both AMD/ATI and Nvdia cards. The CPU / RAM was simplified relative to what I've done such as modifying timings, chipset voltages, etc., so I'm assuming overclocking the GPU core and VRAM will be pretty much what I expect anyway, right? I haven't overclocked SLI / Crossfire setups, so I suppose there is that.

There's a few differences in IRL vs PCBS: In PCBS, there's no thermal throttling of video cards. They run full temps all the time right up until 95.5c and then just blue screen. It also never reduces clocks when the cards run hot. They just run full speed full temps always. And in general, for some reason, PCBS doesn't put full power power load on the system immediately when you load a benchmark like it does in real life. In PCBS, maximum power load ramps up slowly over time.. you could potentially have something stable in the short OCCT test that fails in the longer 3dmark runs for example. You have to run OCCT in continuous mode and wait for it to level out on the power usage to find what it's actually pulling in terms of power and see if it runs over the power supply from your video card overclock.

HYPE! I watched youtube videos about PC Building simulator - the careeer mode was so booring, so when I read the new rethinking career mode based on players feedback coming soon - I thought that I could give this game a try...

Also I'm the man who want VR MODE for this game.

Good to know. Thanks.
