Yup. One of the few times I make a typo.

He He. I'm still not used to TB.

I replaced a number of 500 GB SATA hard drives with 2 TB ones. I'll add them as internal storage to my kids' PCs.

The 1440p dashcam video clips from our June-July 2017 road trip takes up almost 320 GB by themselves. Then, there's video footage from the 1080p camcorder and a bunch of short 4k ones from the iPhones. I definitely need more space.

Eh the Ti is the fastest of the fastest na. Didnt know shadow of war was so spec hungry.

Haha, yeah

Videos really consume the bulk of the storage space of HDD's. Since I really don't archive, I delete all my media files (TV shows and Movies) as soon as I watch them.

We have two NAS'es in my parents' house though. One has 8x6TB in RAID5 and the other at 8x4TB in RAID5 too

How much did you score it for? I use an EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3 but haven't tried Shadow of War yet. Though I heard that it's really really taxing!

Got it for 37k from Lazada about a month ago when there was a sale. Some scenes drops my FPS below 60 on my current graphic settings.

That's a bummer! I use a 144Hz GSync 1440p monitor.

I don't even worry about games dropping below 60 fps. I usually can't perceive the frame drop. There are a lot of things that can cause lag, tugs, and jerks in game movement even if the framerates are in triple digits.

Crysis, for example, was much more playable at 20-30 fps than ES: Oblivion running at 40-50 fps.

The framerates of the STALKER games are frequently at 100+. Yet, they are the jerkiest set of games I ever played on a PC, especially when the character is sprinting. The engine that powers them is simply terrible. If the STALKER world wasn't so engaging, I'd erase all of them.

Looks like a temperature issue and my card is throttling down. I checked my temps and it was reaching 90c and the fans are only spinning about 60%. Adjusted my fan curve so the fans will spin 100% at 70c and now temps stay at 75c.
