So, it happened… NVIDIA announced today, the next generation of awesomeness!
In a highly compact nutshell here are the details:
Powered by Ampere, NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture, GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards feature faster 2nd gen Ray Tracing Cores, faster 3rd gen Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors that together bring stunning visuals, faster frame rates, and AI acceleration for gamers and creators.
GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs also feature several world firsts: they’re the first gaming-class graphics cards with up to 24GB of new, blazing-fast GDDR6X VRAM; they’re the first GPUs with HDMI 2.1, for 4K high refresh rate and 8K gaming; they’re the first discrete GPUs with support for the AV1 codec, enabling you to watch high-resolution streams using significantly less bandwidth; and our Founders Edition cards are the first with innovative dual axial flow through cooling solutions.
And of course, GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs come packed with new technologies for esports competitors, livestreamers, creators, and gamers alike…
Be sure to check out the full GeForce RTX 30 Series video presentation from NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang:
Another source, I truly love to get info from is JayzTwoCents and here he breaks down the presentation for us mortals:
So, will Girl-In-Pigtails be getting a new graphics card?
The better question would be: Which Version?
To be honest, I would like to wait and see the performance reviews before I make a decision. As of now, I am leaning toward the 3080 based on performance to price but it’s a toss up between 3080 and 3090.
It’s that time of year again, the Star Citizen Ship Showdown! Check out the entire post here.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN THE ‘VERSE?
Voice your support for your favorite flyable/drivable ship or vehicle by submitting an original creation to the Community Hub or on Twitter using #SCShipShowdown.
An original song, build something with Lego®, take an epic in-game (or real-life) shot, make a trailer, music video… Hell – build the ship for real if you’re up to it! The 16 flyable ships with the most activity will make it into the Ship Showdown finals, where they will go head-to-head in the ultimate tournament of aerospace champions.
What’s more, there are ten MISC Prospectors at stake during phase 1 (Aug 27th – Sept 7th), going to the creators of especially outstanding submissions, and once we kick off phase 2 (Sept 9th – Sept 23rd) bracket voting for the top 16, and finally the winner will be crowned Sept 24th. On top of that– get ready for a two-week Free Fly event!
Phase 1 is all about making noise to push your favorites to the next round, so don’t forget to upvote, like, and share your favorite creations, as a spot in the final four of this celebratory smack-down will open the airlock for some fun surprises coming later this year.
As apart of WEEOO Nation Stream Team, don’t forget to upvote our dear friend Gary and his WEEOO mobile.
See you in the Verse!

This was a HUGE patch update for fixes. A couple things to note but not all are experiencing:
Some people lost in-game purchased ships, components, armor, weapons, money, and/or merits. This did not happen to everyone, or even a majority of players however;
Database Reset: YES
Long Term Persistence: Enabled
Starting aUEC: 20,000
My Top Takeaways:
Fixed 8 Client crashes
Fixed 9 Server crashes
Various fixes for memory leaks
Various fixes for hub and backend service crashes
Salty or Not; Star Citizen continues to make improvements which will inevitably launch the game to end all games. 😉
See You In The Verse — WEEOO!
