Thanks for the replies, glad I didn't jump! Monitor-wise, I'm 1440p @ 165hz.

Thanks for the replies, you've saved me from myself!

I've got an EVGA 3080 XC Ultra on the way and currently running an 8700K on a Z390 board with 32gb 3000mhz CL15. Would it be worth it to go to 3600 CL18 or will the gains I get from the extra 600mhz be negated by the higher latency? I've been poking around but can't find anything on that...

Everywhere is near the beach here :)

I'm a bit concerned, it seems to be region locked. I live in the Caribbean and don't have an option to buy ANYTHING on the Rockstar store. Hopefully it's only region locked for sales and not for play.

Benches To put this in perspective: my 3 year-old 950 Pro feels instantanious. Endurance-wise, I've only written 8.1tb over that period to the 950 Pro with light-ish usage. If you look at the figures, the 970 Evo Plus bests the same generation Pro right now.

I recently replaced a 512gb 950 Pro with a 1tb 970 Evo Plus. I benched both with Magician, the 970 beats the 950 by about 1.5x in reads and 3x in writes (Possibly the other way round, I'm not near my computer, but still a big step up either way!) but I honestly see no difference. Save your money...

Currently running an MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon with a 1tb 970 Evo Plus and a 512gb 950 Pro, both at x4 speed.

The Samsung has its own driver though, hoping they all play nice!

I've got a 1tb 970 Evo Plus in my current system and thinking of adding a Corsair MP510. Has anybody come up against any driver problems running these together? Does the MP510 need any extra drivers apart from the default Windows ones?

And yours were all good? Nothing weird popping up at a later time?

I’ve been using it even before I bent it back slightly, seems ok, but I know with bent pins issues can sometimes be subtle.

I’m tempted to open it up again but this is me:

Thanks! I’d seen the pin out diagram and thought that’s what it said but I wasn’t quite sure, it was pretty lo res.
