Thanks! It turns out I should be able to run it just fine. There was an error on the shopping site regarding its recommended wattage.
I was running twin 970s, so thought it was odd.

It depends. Was AF making the snow biome very slow? Generally not unless your textures did not all fit in VRAM and the terrain textures ended up in system RAM, which then caused AF to be very slow.
You could already turn AF off with the gfx af console command. This will allow the players and us more graphics control since AF can be set to a variety of values now. gfx af only allows for off/on/forced max.
Some biomes are going to run slower than others, because different graphics are rendered in different biomes like mountains in snow. The testers made a chart of their FPS in each biome. Their ranges were 40-66, 58-96, 32-44, 29-59 (vsync), 32-47, 49-91 and 35-59 with snow always being the worse one. It needs more research.

Turning of the new distant terrain has massive impact on almost all biomes, so probably will want to look at that. It seems to take a rather big chunk of fps, more than it should take and used to take with the old terrain. When using the gfx command you also see the warnings pop up again when its turned on.
Really hope you can track down the cause and tame the beast, I like the distant terrain but not at the expense of getting dizzy because the game suddenly becomes choppy when looking at to much of it.

I'm currently playing on 90 minute days. My money making strategy early on consists of three methods:
1. Tier 1 Buried Supplies quests. They're quick, easy to find, nearby, and net you several hundred dukes per quest.
2. Looting when I'm not doing buried supplies quests and selling everything of value (armor I don't need, guns I won't use, old cash, silver/gold nuggets, etc.
3. Coolers. 8 polymers make one cooler, which is worth 60 dukes. I harvest every tire I see and turn a profit. I made and sold 20 of them on day 2 alone, netting me 1200 dukes
Honestly, making 7k in 3 days (on 90 minute days) isn't too hard; on 60 minute days, I probably would have made the same amount by day 5

*90 minutes.
I restarted (again) after rediscovering my dislike for 120 minute days. LolMy methods for gathering money are explained in my reply to Kosmic Kerman

Gazz set that up, I can only guess that the recipe is different?Good show! Now that the shape builder is in place (awesome edition, by the way), the tablesaw now really does feel like "wasted space", imo. Although, quick question regarding the shape builder... How come wood frame stairs corner is in it, but you have to craft wood stairs from your inventory?Seems a bit odd to me.

We'll nerf schematic drops to 20% from 25% and see how that works out.
You shouldn't NEED to craft a weapon of your specialization, you should WANT to. The idea is to drop enough crappy ones and parts that if you push your specialization and get your ranks up you can craft a decent blue, should the random gods have ignored your pleas. There is that odd game where nothing goes your way, or you get a blue pistol when you really want a shotgun. That is where crafting comes in IMO, in those two scenarios.

Yeah, as you can see down below.
No issue of course. Lol. Just thought I'd point that out.

If you see the Munching Carpet store or maybe that paper mill harvest all the tubes, I got quite a bit if money selling stacks of paper. I built a chest outside the trader to store the overstock and then sold on reset day

Thanks for the tip.
I'll keep that in mind. The Paper Mill is also an amazing source of paper; you can easily get thousands from that POI.
