Well, not so easy.
We are currently experiencing unseasonal warmth these days, but apart from high noon, it's about 8c, and near freezing in the morning.
I expect to install the snow tires in a few weeks...

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Can't loose what you never had.
You don't think us Norwegians would be fucking living here if we had any marbles to begin with do you ?

Not to mention half our national dishes where made either from periods of dire starvation or from someone loosing a bet..

Fish, buried in the ground for three months so it's just that kind of rotten ?
National fooking treasure that.
Sry, but no thank you :P

It hit 22C the other day, and I was walking around in a blanket with cold chills. I thought I genuinely might be sick. All the AC was off and I was freezing.

Luckily, it went right back to 35C that weekend.. and I roasted nicely washing the cars.

I'm nearly down to my briefs at that :P

Although at 35c I might as well be at deaths door.

Blazing...

Your other mission, should you choose to accept it, is to try to run with the new monitor in the middle, and 2 of your old ones on each side, and see if Nvidia surround works. And how it looks, of course. That should pop up as 5760x1080.

I ask because I flight sim, and 3x monitors is nice.

I can certainly have a go for you :)
E:D just looks amazing. And it really is razor sharp. For example on the python I can see metal textures on each panel on the ship. Planets look so realistic s you pass by them especially ELW's.
I am very happy with my investment it has to be said.

Thanks man.

I updated my post on pg4, but here it is again...

Interesting results.

Pixels:
780 1920x1080 for 2M.
980:6080x1080 for 6.5M. - 1.5SS for 9.8M - 3840x2160 for 8.3M.
1080:5760x1080 for 6.2M - 1.5SS for 9.3M - 2.0SS for 12.4M

So...
780
ED FPS@pix:
60 everywhere @ 2M

980
ED FPS@pix:
? @6.5M
60 space / Low 40's station / High 30-Low 40 planet @ 9.8M
70's space / 60 station / 50-60 planet @ 8.3M

The Division:
30-50 @ 8.3M

1080
ED FPS@pix:
60 everywhere@6.2M.
60space/55station/50-60planet @1.5 SS 9.3M.
60space/33station/33planet @2.0 SS 12.4M.
2.0 SS was playable, but the HUD/station still looked like jagged aliased ass, which is my main beef with ED.

W3 FPS@pix
Mid-50's @6.2M (this was mid-20's when I was running on my 780ti).
