with the fire hazard that be of a 4090 I'd rather buy the 7900 XTX and save $600 (probably enough to buy the 7800X3D whenever it launches)

[latent gate]

where's the cost saving

the 4090 is 100% a fire hazard

but it won't be in several months

NVIDIA always adjusts designs when issues crop up like this

[smoky flame]

thing is it is a flagship product that costs an absurd amount. This should have been tested to the point that any issues would have been found and corrected before consumers even got their hands on the cards. If I paid $1700 for a GPU I'd certainly expect the very best and no less

[latent gate]

we have no way of knowing the circumstances of testing

especially since release vbios and testing vbios are not the same

[smoky flame]

besides the fire hazard it does deliver on being the very best, for now at least but that fire hazard is a huge no-no

[latent gate]

yeah, AMD's not overthrowing NVIDIA this gen

[smoky flame]

again though I feel there should be a level of testing that ensures a GPU bought doesn't go up in smoke. Maybe that is why Nvidia made it so even when you buy a 4090 you may not get it right away as there is additional testing to be done

[latent gate]

they're honestly barely inching their way as it stands now. the move to chiplets was a good one, but the oversight on the bespoke futurproofed feature (RT) and absolute obfuscation of the data during the keynote are not the best of decisions

Also the AI accelerators

They have no real use outside of games

🙃

So productivity/production software can’t even make use of their AI features with it as it stands

[smoky flame]

yeah, the potential chiplet GPUs have is immense and upon reflecting on it I am somewhat disappointed but there is always the next GPU or the one after that which may further expand on the chiplet design and we may soon see that 12288 core rumoured monster GPU since 2x 7900XTX 6144 CUs is exactly that and that's what 96 worker groups? 192 if doubled and RT cores with it

[latent gate]

Yes but when it’s always “maybe next time” is it ever next time?

AMD hasn’t been on top in a decade now

And the hopium has persisted since Navi

[smoky flame]

well they have unleashed chiplet to the GPU market so lets see where it takes them or Nvidia or Intel if they pick up the idea and use it on their GPU end rather than memory

Intel could do with a "game changer" on their end and a GPU with dual GPU dies would certainly get them competing with Nvidia but cost and power would be a major issue I'd imagine, unless it was two lower power dies and not something crazy like the equivalent to 2x 4090 lol but then again AMD could jump on that and sure, the first GPU chiplet may use a fair bit of power but if they work their efficiency magic like they seem to have done with the 7900 XTX then who's to say what follows after isn't something that could take AMD to the top again?

[latent gate]

intel currently beats AMD in RT performance currently (in DX12 titles ofc)

[ruby heath]

damn thats wild

[ruby heath]

for 5600?

[dusky wave]

yes

my old case choice looks ulgy

[ruby heath]

just look at your GPU dimensions to make sure it fits

[dusky wave]

it fits

[ruby heath]

nice, that should work then

i have this case its kind of big but anything fits in it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PT8SRZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[dusky wave]

any difference between this and the df600?

[ruby heath]

it says that one is slightly bigger and probably airflow

i got the one i have for airflow mostly

100% scaling on windows is so small on a 4K 32 inch monitor. Seeing if I can get used to it or not. Think I'm sitting too far back

[exotic jacinth]

I use 150% at 4K on my 27 inch

That kind of feels like 1440p but just sharper

[celest oar]

Hello, does anyone want an Xbox code for €34?

[obsidian bobcat]

#rules 💵 13. No buying, selling, or trading items/codes on the server. Do not ask for codes, handouts, or freebies either.

[smoky flame]

yeah, default scaling recommends I use 150% too but I find that awkward when some programs may not take to scaling properly and would much rather put it to 100%, which is effectively no scaling

oops, may have forgot to turn off ping there. Using Discord on my iPhone for a change lol. My bad there 😅

[exotic jacinth]

Actually I use 175% which is more like 1080P but super sharp but I like the big text. You can change scaling per app as well to make the old ones work properly. Dw I don't care about ping

[smoky flame]

ooh, I heard 4K 27 inch would need even more scaling, yeah. Some say 1440p is optimal for 32 inches and I have changed the res to 1440p and right enough it selects 100% scaling as recommended but oddly enough when I was gaming at 1440p on a 27 inch display (my old Samsung Odyssey G7 2020 model) there was no scaling being applied when surely it would have at least been set to 125%

[exotic jacinth]

Windows isn't really great with scaling but I can put up with it for the benefits of much sharper text and images. I had my first 4K monitor in 2018 and then a lot of apps had issues but now it seems 90% of them scale fine with 4K with windows scaling

[cedar smelt]

Currently using a cheap laptop while I wait to get a new PC. Anyone helpp me with "Radeon Settings: Host Application" taking 70% CPU?

Because that blows.

[exotic jacinth]

Ow I remember having a similar issue. I did a clean install of the driver and the problem went away. It seemed to occur when upgrading from one driver version to a new one in my case.

[cedar smelt]

Mhmm I will try that. Because it's making the computer pretty useless right now.

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah I used DDU specifically and wiped all AMD stuff of it. Seems to be a bug in the upgrade process

[cedar smelt]

Good call I was just trying to remember how to remove a graphics driver.

[subtle laurel]

can anyone suggest any free games on the xbox app (no subscription) i have a i5 4310U and 4gb ram

and maybe steam too

[last remnant]

There is little you can do on that tbh

[muted snow]

not the U series cpu

that series is incredibly weak in terms of processing power

[muted snow]

which types of game you want tho

[subtle laurel]

single player is good

mostly singe player

[muted snow]

call of duty franchise could be a good idea

since older call of duty titles are less graphically intensive than battlefield ones

[subtle laurel]

oh ok

which ones?

[exotic jacinth]

You probably want to look into older games 2012 and earlier. For multiplayer Team fortress 2 and league of legends might be ok

Old counter strike games are still populated as well

[subtle laurel]

csgo dont work

[subtle laurel]

Open question, for folks with a Gaming PC: do you use it for other things, like for content creation, editing, homework, etc?

[last remnant]

I do use it for other stuff like mass storage device lol, and also doing stuff like smaller photo editing and then also some experimenting ig you call it

[smoky flame]

mostly for gaming here

[modest gulch]

Thx. Consider it a casual poll.

[cedar smelt]

Mine is dead right now, but there are a lot of uses I put it to other than gaming. It's barely a 'gaming PC' for me, more a 'PC that can game'.

Which makes it somewhat a pain in the butt right now. I can replace all the things I do with it, but not so easily.

[modest gulch]

Thx. I totally get the distinction, where it's a PC that can game.

I see my own PC as that: my Pro 8 has the CPU and RAM and NVMe storage a plenty for gaming but it's only going to game when I plug in a GPU.

[smoky flame]

at times I wish I could put my PC to more use than just gaming but I don't think I'm all that creative to do so. Would be cool, especially as PC hardware grows more powerful in compute performance etc. Got to be other stuff I can do with it that doesn't completely revolve around just video games

[mellow lintel]

I use my gaming PC for all the things lol
I have a TV that I never use bc I just use my PC to watch things. I also use it for music bc... It's easy

[cedar smelt]

I am not sure if my TV is even plugged in right now. 👀

[obtuse edge]

I was gonna us a split for a monitor and a tv. Us the monitor to browse the internet and other things then turn on the TV to game.

[smoky flame]

ran a FH5 benchmark at 4K maxed settings with ray tracing off and FSR set to quality. I like this result

[latent gate]

89...rt off

FSR on

[fickle dove]

https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/9/23449382/microsoft-directstorage-1-1-gpu-decompression-load-times-drivers-official

[smoky flame]

4K and maxed settings though. RT set to extreme it is 81 FPS so really not that much lower and it is within the region of an option I'd use since it doesn't cost anywhere near as much as a lot of other games and their RT settings tend to. Even with RT on and no FSR it is still above 60 FPS for the most part. December 13th going to be exciting times!

[latent gate]

that's more of what I'm getting at

FSR's not really doing too much uplift

that or you have a lower spec gpu

[full flint]

“The Gunk” was pretty fun to play

[smoky flame]

Red Devil 6800 XT so definitely not lower spec GPU

[latent gate]

you should definitely be getting higher performance

[smoky flame]

wait, really?

[zenith thorn]

hmm

[ruby heath]

at 4k?

[latent gate]

yes

those framerates with RT disabled are definitely closer to what you should be seeing at native

[ruby heath]

what

[smoky flame]

interesting, going to check it out. Might have to verify the files or something idk. Performance seemed pretty good to me

Going to run a 4K maxed settings no rt or fsr benchmark and see what the fps shows. if I was to guess ahead it will be in the mid 70’s

pretty much bang on with my guess

[ruby heath]

What settings do you have or is your GPU on default

[smoky flame]

afaik the scene FH5 uses for its benchmark is one of the most intensive parts of the game (driving around Guanajuato) so results may not be 100% true for the rest of the game and just to add to make sure you are aware there is setting beyond the ultra preset. I have cranked those up to max too, which may explain the seeming loss in performance otherwise idk. First time being aware of any performance loss. I'm on AMD's latest chipset driver and GPU driver (22.10.3)

GPU is completely default/stock. Never really seen a need to oc the GPU

[ruby heath]

I only messed with them just because. I ended up getting better performance with those settings though.

[surreal moss]

Just bought a new strix board and they put a thermal pipe on the ssd heatsink

[last remnant]

that's cool, is it getting more common with heatsinks? I remember it being kinda rare for manufacturers to include that

[surreal moss]

I already had a z690 before this one

Difference is this one is DDR5

[surreal moss]

Bought it for benchmarking purposes and presenting results later as a content piece for halo infinite

[dusky wave]

How much difference between ddr4 and ddr5 versions of z690 in performance in games?

[surreal moss]

Very dependent on the game

Might be 10-15%, might be 0%

[dusky wave]

Was it worth the investment some of the ddr5 ram i saw was like min 100 usd for 8gb

[surreal moss]

Ddr5 doesn’t come in 8GB

Smallest is 32gb

[dusky wave]

Oh

[surreal moss]

@latent gate board came with a raid card

But like… I’m never gonna use this lol

[dusky wave]

@surreal moss was the ddr mobo and ram worth the investment?

[surreal moss]

I haven’t powered it on yet

Still cleaning up

It’ll be worth it for the content I’ll be making

[last remnant]

Interesting, might delay my upgrading longer, knew 32gb DDR4 was already a lot

[dusky wave]

So basically ddr5 is most useful 4 conent creators people who just game should stick with ddr4 mobo and ram

Or am i wrong

[fierce flower]

Anyone know what port this is

Can’t send it lmao

[smoky flame]

huh how come I see 2x 16GB kits?

also I'd say if you plan to game at 4K you are going to want to make sure you have at least 32GB DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. Some of my Forza Horizon 5 benchmarks earlier showed that 16GB is no longer enough and unfortunately there is no inbetween step or I'd have recommended 24GB so 32GB it is (again, for 4K gaming)

[surreal moss]

I’m not sure if you typed it wrong but 2x16 is 32

[smoky flame]

ik but I thought you meant per stick so my bad I guess lol

[surreal moss]

No lowest is 16 per stick

Vs ddr4 where it was 4 or 8

Forget tbh

[smoky flame]

ok, thanks for clearing that up and apologies for the confusion there 😅

[ruby heath]

why is the latency so high on DDR5 tho

[smoky flame]

the much higher speeds and latency on DDR5 can't be compared directly to DDR4 speeds iirc so while it may look slow it is actually very fast

think I've picked out a new case I fancy getting which might mean my biggest upgrade since the CPU upgrade back in late 2020 and if I go for a new power supply, which I think I will need if I am serious about buying a 7900 XTX that'll be the last two components from my original build back in 2016 gone. Case is Fractal Design Torrent and I'd be going for the one with no glass and as little RGB lighting as possible. That then backed up with a CPU upgrade later in 2023 featuring the 7800X3D and 2x 16GB 6000MHz DDR5 RAM. 4K isn't ready for me

[surreal moss]

That’s normal as ram continues to improve

DDR4 might have had a cas latency of like 12-20, but DDR3 was single digits

And DDR2 even less

Cas isn’t super important, and the offset by much larger increased frequency makes it irrelevant anyway

[ruby heath]

interesting

I always thought Latency was super important tbh

[surreal moss]

It’s important, but not something game changing

Ram gets really really expensive as you chase lower cas

[ruby heath]

damn, well i guess its a good thing latency doesnt make a huge difference then

[surreal moss]

DDR5 will continue to come down

Anything sub 20 was super expensive when ddr4 first launched

Now you can get sub 15 for cheap

DDR5 launched with a cas latency of 40+, now you can get 30 or lower for the same price

[dusky wave]

nice

[ruby heath]

Im staying on DD4 for a while

only thing i considered is getting a 5800x3D

[surreal moss]

Should wait till the 7800x3d

[dusky wave]

should i pull the trigger on the 6800xt or wait til black friday on newegg

[ruby heath]

am5?

[ruby heath]

you waited this long might as well see if theres anything on black friday

[dusky wave]

i just worried that my gpu gets sold out during black friday

[ruby heath]

i guess that could be a possibility i did see the 5800X3d sell out like two weeks ago when the price dropped to three hundred something

[dusky wave]

i saw several 6800xt and 6900xt got sold out over the last few days

[ruby heath]

damn, i mean i guess if its at a good price you could pull the trigger

[ruby heath]

damn that doesnt make sense

[devout quartz]

On my xsx I get around 200mb, although my internet plan is 500/500

So 10mb is just miserable considering what I should be getting

[ruby heath]

are you on wifi or something

[devout quartz]

Yea

[ruby heath]

maybe its the wifi adaptor you are using on your PC, is it a USB adaptor

[devout quartz]

I have a prebuilt pc connected to the wifi

[smoky flame]

how is it connecting to wifi though? if it is a USB dongle type then it will be slow but if the wifi is built in to the motherboard I don't see how your speeds are so low. My connection is 1130 mbps down/52 up and can get the full download speed no bother thanks to wifi 6

[devout quartz]

I'm gonna try to unistall the antivirus program and see if that makes a difference

[smoky flame]

that will slow things down further. Windows Defender should be adequate for most users and is free

[ruby heath]

prebuilds usually throw in a cheap dongle in there, im assuming thats why hes getting low speeds

[devout quartz]

I honestly don't know the answer to your question. Do I have to open the panel to know?

[ruby heath]

no

do you know what motherboard you have?

[smoky flame]

a USB dongle would be connected to any usb port on the case or on the motherboard so would be visible. There is also a 3rd wifi option I somewhat forgot about pcie wifi but yeah, knowing what motherboard you have will clear things up a lot

[ruby heath]

Type in "System Information" in the search bar in task bar

should be able to see your motherboard

try your PC on a ethernet cable just to see if you get the speeds you are suppose to then you know its your wifi

I just checked the guide and documentation that came with the computer and it does say that it have wifi connection

[smoky flame]

could be it is pcie wifi will have been installed in addition to with that system. My brother has a system just like it. Might be worth checking device manager. To access that like system information suggestion from KBMWASD but type "device manager" then look for network adapters and it should show from there

Sadly not the new god of war but still amazed. And Xbox exclusives too. All portably on a Handheld Device. And I can mod the games too. So amazing. My series s has been gathering dust since I got my steam deck. All I've used my Xbox for is fortnite and warzone since those are unsupported on steam deck. But then again. I could install windows to make those work perfectly

I even ran freaking VR on it. And it ran Perfectly!. Well only on VRchat and steam VR home. Any demanding VR game suffered. I might try that new Re7 VR mod on it just to see if it performs alright. I know it won't. But worth a try right?

So after seeing the benchmarks of the 4080. If amds claims of a minimum of 50% uplift over the 6950xt are true, the 7900xtx will easily pass the 4080 and nibble at the 4090 in raster and drop in around the 3090ti in terms of raytracing. If that's the case, the 7900xtx is easily gonna be my first gpu.

[dusky wave]

Gl with getting the 7900xtx. I really cant afford to drop 1k on the gpu.

4080 at 1200 seems way too much. They could probably get away with 100-150 price increase over 3080 but not near 2X the price.

[obtuse edge]

They're doing it in accordance to the 30 series instead of its own new bracket. It's around 2x the performance of the 3080... so it gets 2x the price. Really stupid of them. I'm pretty sure it's more of a tactic to push more towards the 4090.

[exotic jacinth]

The benchmarks I’ve seen it seems about 30-40% faster than the 3080

[obtuse edge]

Used a bad word in the other response lol. Anyway I was looking at rt performance between the 2. In that case there's literally no reason.

[full flint]

Its running them already

Very good

No lags i have

[versed cliff]

im thinking of swiching from a series x on a monitor to a 1500 dollar pc. is it worth it

[obtuse edge]

Considering a series x/ ps5 is roughly equivalent to a 2060/2070. Aim for something better than those to notice a difference. Otherwise I would think so.

[simple terrace]

Every time I get killed in Halo, my game crashes. Drivers are up to date. It's only happening in Halo. It's very annoying because I'm trying to get reward points. 😢

[versed cliff]

yeah im planningn on 6800xt

[obtuse edge]

That should be great

[versed cliff]

will the graphics be better other than better fps?

like more detail, sharper looking, better colors

[dusky wave]

Same here or 6900xt whatever available next week

[obtuse edge]

I would assume so. Colors are more down to the monitor and tv you use. But detail and sharpness are configurable in settings to your liking.

That's the plus to pc. You can choose to prioritize fps or visual quality

Or both if the card is strong enough lol

[dusky wave]

I also own a 4k144 hdmi 2.1 monitor

[versed cliff]

oh ok

[dusky wave]

@versed cliff do u own a 4k monitor?

[versed cliff]

yeah

4k 144hz the m28u

[dusky wave]

Really i own the same

[versed cliff]

i plan on using that for the pc if i get a pc and maybe getting a 1440p one

[versed cliff]

oh nice! its great

[dusky wave]

Why would u want a 1440p monitor unless u need higher fps than 144hz

[versed cliff]

since 1440p doesnt go into 4k equaly like 1080p does, the image has to be upscaled which causes it to look less sharp

[dusky wave]

Im mostly play my shooters on xbox. I like playing my single player open world game ports that arent available on xbox but those games maybe trying halo or cod on pc. 4k is good enough 4 me

[versed cliff]

1440p is worse than 4k just gives you extra fps

[dusky wave]

@versed cliff my pc is currently a rx560 2gb gpu

[versed cliff]

u wont even be able to do 4k then

[dusky wave]

Why u think im doing a full pc build then

[versed cliff]

nothing but a 4090 can do 4k 120 on intesne games

[last remnant]

Meanwhile me, getting 3060ti for 1080p60

[versed cliff]

ti is just marketing

regular is similiar for $100 less

[dusky wave]

I will be happy with 4k60 on pc.

[last remnant]

Maybe 🤔

I mean it’s still better than base tho

[dusky wave]

Im not really all that crazy about ray tracing or vr. Ray tracing isnt in many games atm

[versed cliff]

yeah but marginally not ennough to spend a lot extra

[last remnant]

Maybe, I just have to look into stuff, I would be fine with even a 2070 lol

[dusky wave]

U want ray tracing? Is it any good on 3060ti

[last remnant]

It’s only a secondary interest, not sure how it is but I can imagine it’s not horrible for my requirements in performance

[exotic jacinth]

Series X is somewhere between 6700 XT and 6800 in most comparisons. 6800XT will be a bit better probably unless the port is bad or has issues.

[versed cliff]

Ok

[ruby heath]

Wonder if this audio interface if worth even though it has 3 star review https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BBGRP5K8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

its cheap and the only complaints i read are about dumb things

[smoky flame]

Definitely closer to the 6700 XT side. 6800 and 6800 XT are a whole different beast. I think the only thing the Series X has over those cards is memory bus bandwidth otherwise it is a clean sweep and as someone who owns a 6800 XT it does an alright job of 4K gaming. Though I tend to set to ultra and forgot where most times that is unnecessary so high settings it may do even better and some games also have the option of using FSR to improve performance. 4K with FSR set to quality looks pretty good. Internally it is 1440p I believe and runs like you would expect 1440p to run

[ruby heath]

remember when sony didnt want to allow crossplay with xbox

[ruby heath]

that was back when fortnite was huge and they ended up caving in after everyone got mad 🤣

wonder when Microsoft will officially own Activision and put COD on gamepass

probably not they will just put it on gamepass hoping players will switch since they wouldnt get that deal on Playstation

[ruby heath]

@full flintjust get PC gamepass for $10 a month and play them all

[dusky wave]

they need to honor activision agreements with sony first before it could go on game pass so maybe in a few years

[jagged prawn]

Idk which channel, but what site/link on the xbox app/website show all the xbox pass games for the PC

[ruby spear]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games

Google also works.

[full flint]

Can someone send a website to me where we can buy pc stuff like graphicscards

[ruby spear]

There's tons, but it's going to depend on your location. Just look it up on Google.

[obtuse edge]

Newegg is a decent site from what I heard

[exotic jacinth]

PC part picker is probably the easiest solution if you are new

It just lists out the best prices per parts and what is compatible

[obsidian bobcat]

#rules 💵 13. No buying, selling, or trading items/codes on the server. Do not ask for codes, handouts, or freebies either.

[turbid bronze]

Oh

[ruby heath]

rip

[dusky wave]

Their gpu prices are more reasonable than amazon

[ruby heath]

Newegg has gotten a bad rep lately for scamming people on returns

F

[dusky wave]

Bestbuy and amazon gpus are just overpriced. And i dont have any speciality shops near me

[ruby heath]

Fair point

I was just talking about the people who returned stuff, were denied refunds. IDK the scale at which it happened but a couple big youtubers made videos on it.

Gamer Nexus was declined a return on a $500 motherboard he bought that was damaged and i think he ended up going to sit down with the execs about their policy

Maybe they changed idk since a big youtube channel made it public

[dusky wave]

I never had any issues with any of my orders from newegg though the only heavy tech i brought from them is a 4k144 hz hdmi 2.1 monitor and a new cpu for brother

[ruby heath]

i bet the majority dont have issues TBF

[dusky wave]

Its probably very rare probably same with other online retailers like Amazon

[ruby heath]

I had a mouse stolen once that got delivered and Amason just sent another one. I thought that was pretty cool

[dusky wave]

Should i get 3200 ddr4 vs 3600 ram

[ruby heath]

probably 3600 probably wont be a hige difference between either TBH

Dont Ryzen CPU's perform better with higher frequency ram

[dusky wave]

Yeah. But im not using pc other than game plus at 4k the gpu will take majority of the workload

[ruby heath]

True, get whatever you find cheaper then

[dusky wave]

If im gonna game only at 4k ram should be at least 3200 freq

[ruby heath]

I got a good score on the 4k benchmark on 3D mark with 3200 ram

[last remnant]

I saw the ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti DUAL OC V2, dropped from like $700 to $550 here, might pick it up tbh

[ruby heath]

what is it suppose to normally sell at

[dusky wave]

Nice. If u want nvidia then go for it. Im more of best perf to price thats why im getting 6800xt for around same price

[ruby heath]

6800XT is a beast

[last remnant]

Yeah I prefer some stuff they offer

[last remnant]

$399 is MSRP I think

[smoky flame]

https://youtu.be/ig2px7ofKhQ 😱

those first 30 seconds or so are painful to watch... That's a $1600 GPU melting. Nvidia do the right thing and recall now before harm to more than just wallets comes of this. 4080 is also using this 16/12VHPWR adapter wonder how it is doing

[ruby heath]

wow

[ruby heath]

dang, i thought prices were back to normal

[last remnant]

They will basically never be, but also idk if it ever was available at that price

[ruby heath]

no, it has been overpriced since it came out

[dusky wave]

At least they they are a lot better than in 2020. Amd gpu prices are more inline with msrp or lower

[ruby heath]

Yea

[wheat shard]

Is ESO not on PC game pass? I own it on steam but according to the Xbox website the one on gamepass comes with one of the expansions

[dusky wave]

I believe so. I dunno the rules about importing steam characters from eso to xbox pc game pass

[dusky wave]

Lets worry about deal gets approved first

[ruby heath]

why

[exotic jacinth]

Idk why anyone would want cod to be exclusive

Just reduces the player count

[full flint]

i

[ruby heath]

example Halo 💀

[last remnant]

I might have forgotten to update lol

here is latest for example

[ruby heath]

thats a long time

[last remnant]

it is indeed lol

[ruby heath]

i only skip updates when its just support for a game i dont play

[exotic jacinth]

Are you going to use the nvidia adapter or buy a custom cable?

[surreal moss]

Adapter

The adapters aren’t bad. The melting is caused by internal debris from plugging/unplugging, or from incomplete seating

I’m waiting for the ROG Loki 1200w SFX to come out and the CableMod 90° adapter before I get custom cables

[ruby heath]

now you have a heater for the winter

its crazy thick

[smoky flame]

chonky GPU!

I sure hope I can get my hands on a 7900 XTX pretty quick when it launches. Primary GPU I'm after will be either a Sapphire Nitro+ or PowerColor Red Devil but failing that I may just go for the reference design. Going to get all the stock performance while it may lack somewhat in overclocking with only around 20W headroom unless AMD change the design slightly before launch to include a 3rd 8 pin connector which would make sense and allow for all the headroom it needs and then some. 2x 8 pin + power from pcie allows for up to 375W vs 3x 8 pin + pcie being up to 525W (and probably still far safer than a 4090)

[ruby heath]

im staying with my current GPU i still play on 1080P

Thats insane how thick the 4090 is i hit play on that video like 5 times 🤣

[smoky flame]

I was scared XLR8 was about to do a Linus and drop it the way he was holding it with a claw sort of grip 😱

https://tenor.com/view/linus-linus-drop-linustechtips-linusdroptips-drop-gif-24524203

[ruby heath]

rip

[devout remnant]

AMD not about to change the design, their cars will be 2x 8-pin.

The ASUS one is probably the best launch card, but I will wait until more high end versions become available, I want a AIO card too because they’re easy to install but come with both benefits of higher clocks and lower temps than air cards.

[obtuse edge]

Don't burn the house down lol

[dusky wave]

We donate if he does

[smoky flame]

also likely amongst the most expensive if Asus RTX 4090 design prices are anything to go by. Think I've seen them sell for +£300 of the reference design Nvidia 4090 so assuming that Asus cards will probably come in at around £1200-1300. The AIO model, possibly even more again but it would be cool to get an AIO GPU they will likely offer the best chance of reaching 3GHz that AMD said is possible (only on the 7900 XTX though afaik)

[ocean marsh]

mortal kombat 11 is 155gb on xbox game pass

[ocean marsh]

on fitgirl only 50gb :/

[autumn sluice]

Piracy is illegal and potentially risky. Would also like to point out that repacks are smaller download sizes in exchange for longer installation

[devout remnant]

Ofc you pay the ASUS tax but they’re generally some of the best. I want whatever extreme version AIO will be of the XTX.

[wicked kestrel]

Intel core i5 12 gen or ryzen 7 5500x?

[smoky flame]

what i5 is it exactly?

[oak adder]

Does 8gb of ram can play Forza horizon 4

[ruby spear]

Check the system requirements for the game.

[oak adder]

Thanks

[wicked kestrel]

One moment

Intel Core i5 12400F

[smoky flame]

cool, I'd go for the 12400F over the Ryzen 5 5500X. Just be aware you will need an Intel B660 motherboard and DDR4 RAM

[raw vigil]

my latop MSİ GE66 RAİDER RTX 2070 İ7 10870H 16GB RAM 512GB NVME M.2 SSD 240HZ Windows 11 Pro

[dusky wave]

whats the difference between 6800 and 6800xt and will 6800 do 4k60

[wicked kestrel]

What is a better combo?

Intel Core i5 12400F + 3060 ti (8 gb)
Or
Ryzen 7 5700x + 3060 (12 gb)

Both systems with 16 gb of ram and the same motherboard ASUS Prime B550-PLUS

And spell 'quiet'.

[ruby heath]

💀

[exotic jacinth]

Depends what games you want to play. The newer games will have a harder time reaching native 4K on the 6800

If you enable FSR then 4K will likely still be obtainable on most games

[dusky wave]

i probably go with 6800xt or 6900xt if 6800xt sell out without amd game bundle/over 600 usd price

[desert saffron]

Ryzen 5 5600g
Vega 7
motherboard A320MH

Can play some current games?

[dusky wave]

in what 1080p? is this a new build or prebuilt

[desert saffron]

1080p, its a new build

[dusky wave]

region and budget? what kind of games cod at high fps?

also ssd is that nvme or reg ssd?

[desert saffron]

I'm from Brazil, 2400R$ (445$) budget.

Wanted to play some games like GTA V, FIFA 22 or 23, CSGO, Valorant, Flight Simulator 2020, Red Dead Redemption 2

[dusky wave]

u got a cooler? its possible

[desert saffron]

Can I send the PC link here?

[dusky wave]

but intensive games like cyberpunk flight sim and red dead 2 those fps maybe 20-30 at low settings.

[desert saffron]

Will FIFA 23 perform well?

[dusky wave]

dunno. dont play fifa

[desert saffron]

why?

my intention is not to play online, I want to play career mode

[dusky wave]

sorry i was talking about myself

i dont know specs of fifa23 or 22. gta 5 should run no issues at high fps its like a 10 year old game.

if u want to buy now sure. but i would save up to get a better cpu/gpu

[desert saffron]

gpu would be a future update, for now this would be the configuration

[muted maple]

If I wanted my friend that is on pc to join me, could he? (I'm on xbox)

On battlefield 5

[desert saffron]

But for the price do you think it's worth it?

[dusky wave]

yeah just know im not really quite sure about the 5600g for a future upgrade with a gpu

i dont use igpus at all. i rather to use separate cpu and gpu rather than igpus.

[desert saffron]

and add a little more money and buy a pc with INTEL I3-10100F, GEFORCE GTX 1650 4GB, 16GB DDR4, SSD 480GB

[coarse geode]

No, BFV doesn’t support cross platform play.

[dusky wave]

im currently running an i5-4670k and rx560 2gb and 16 gb ram. i could do cyberpunk at 1080p at 30fps. this is using a close to 10 year old pc

[dusky wave]

it really depends on ur needs and how long u will wait. im building a 4k gaming pc next week

[fading junco]

At that point get a series s especially now that it’s on sale

[lean sapphire]

In my heart I’ll always be a console gamer. But today is the day that marks the end of a era and the beginning of a new one. I have officially bought a gaming pc and am now a pc gamer.

[smoky flame]

welcome to PC gaming

[lean sapphire]

Thanks! I’m very excited to start this new experience

[obtuse edge]

Very nice. Will be a couple months but soon so shall I. What you packin?

[lean sapphire]

@obtuse edge spec for my pc?

[obtuse edge]

Yes

[lean sapphire]

AMD Ryzen 7 5700 Processor
16GB Memory - 500GB NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD
GeForce RTX 3060

[obtuse edge]

Very nice

[lean sapphire]

Yeah

What you looking to get?

[obtuse edge]

7900xtx and whatever amds new x3d cpu is gonna be.

It'll be my first pc

[lean sapphire]

Ok ok

Yeah I just got my first so I’m excited

[full flint]

Are these specs also good for gaming or for spider man miles morales
Specs:
i5 10400f
16gb ram 3200mhz
Gtx 1660 super
120gb ssd sata
1tb hdd

My first gaming pc and only 2 month old bought the gtx 1660 super instead of rtx 3060 becuz i needed a 144hz monitor

[dusky wave]

as long it meets the min specs for miles morales. im on an i5-4670k and rx560 2gb with fsr 2.1 balanced i could play miles at 1080p and 30-40 fps. if i could play then u could no problem. though i stopped playing until i upgrade my rig

[bitter crypt]

can someone find me a good cable to connect my xbox controller to my pc

[exotic jacinth]

This should give you some idea what to expect https://youtu.be/_OA1D_vGQPo

[ruby heath]

thats with fsr tho

[lean sapphire]

Just use a USB 3 to USB C cable

[ruby spear]

Only if it's a Series controller

[bitter crypt]

its not

@ruby spear

[desert saffron]

Guys, I'm thinking about building a PC through aliexpress, can someone help me out there

[smoky flame]

PowerColor showed off their Red Devil design for the RX 7000/7900 series GPUs

Only problem is while it supports changing of the LEDs (got my 6800 XT Red Devil LEDs off) I'd almost want to keep it red to fit inline with the naming or if there is the feature to have it a breathing red. I haven't explored their program that allows changing of the LEDs that much but the latter would seem like it has come to life and would be pretty cool 😄

[devout remnant]

Their GPU’s are good

[last remnant]

So my idea here is that you don't

[full flint]

Should i buy a used rtx 3060 ti or brand new amd radeon rx 6600xt

Which is good?

Confused!!!

[exotic jacinth]

3060Ti is faster and has DLSS and better ray tracing so it is better if you can find it at a similar price

[dusky wave]

Personally it depends if reseller has good reviews or not.

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah assuming it is from a decent seller of course

[full flint]

Iam thinking to get amd rx 6600 xt as its cheap and i dont care about ray tracing but idk if it have good fsr

[exotic jacinth]

Raster is also a lot faster for the 3060Ti. FSR is an open standard so will be fine on both

[full flint]

Will be a good upgrade from a gtx 1660 super?

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah will be considerably better

[terse shoal]

Can you still enable mods on pc if you brought games on Microsoft store?

[ruby spear]

If the game supports it, yes.

i guess it's not possible to just individually download the games from the get go huh

anyone know any good allround pc headsets with a mic because I game, watch videos, and more

[raven hull]

I’m bias so I recommend Arctis

[ruby heath]

bf2042 added to gamepass 🤔

[ruby heath]

Razer, Roccat, sennheiser, astro, turtle beach, they all make great headsets and theres sales on most RN

[zenith thorn]

Yeah I think I’m gonna get the PC38X

[ruby heath]

yea you probably cant go wrong with any headset these days

[zenith thorn]

Well mostly but yeah

[exotic jacinth]

I use the PlayStation pulse headset as I can use it between all the consoles and PC.

[ruby heath]

i use earbuds

[dusky wave]

i probably buy every piece of build except for gpu between now and monday

[ruby heath]

nice

[dusky wave]

gpu i will probably wait til around dec 13th when 7900xt/7900xtx launches and see if prices die down

[ruby heath]

they might since the prices on the new AMD stuff isn't insane like Nvidia's

[wintry kettle]

The forest is the best game for the price right now

[last remnant]

already bought it 👍

[obtuse edge]

Is it better to put an OS on its own separate drive or does it not really matter?

Like if games are on the same one

[analog sapphire]

doesn't matter

personally I put all apps/os on one drive and data on another (physical drive). that way I can just move the data drive when I build a new pc

[obtuse edge]

Gotcha. Thank you

[dusky wave]

i actually pull all my data onto a portable hdd then transfer it to new build pc once completed. im giving my old pc 2 my mom once i build a new pc

[analog sapphire]

that works too! I have a portable HDD as well that I use to back up my data drive

[dusky wave]

i put my games on the m2 drive or whatever is faster. though my 2d side scrollers on my hdd since they dont take much 2 run

[last remnant]

I have most of my data on my D or E drive, and some data on the C drive that I just back up and move

[dusky wave]

nice. but i really dont have that option

[exotic jacinth]

I have 10TB total at the moment. I usually keep games off the C drive unless I know I will go back to them often

[ruby heath]

bet most games people have downloaded they dont even launch

[novel lava]

is there a way to buy an xbox elite 2 controller without all the accessories for less than the one with the carrying case and such? i already have a controller and accessories but the controller has multiple problems and i think i need to get a new one.

[full flint]

Is i5 10400f with rx 6600xt will give better performance and i can play any game at 1080p high to ultra settings???

[dusky wave]

probably u may need to adjust to hit 60fps in intensive games like cyberpunk

[full flint]

yeah thats fine also i mean pcle 3 is good as 10400f support pcle 3

dont support pcle 4

will i still get same performance and fps no freezes or other fps issues

[dusky wave]

pcie slot for gpu? if so then no since 6600xt run at pci 4x8. there will be no preformance issue with it. but if u upgrade gpu to lets say a 6900xt then thats another story need to replace motherboard and ram

[full flint]

dm

[dusky wave]

no

[full flint]

btw can i face bottleneck

i5 10400f rtx 3060 ti

@dusky wave

[smoky flame]

not entirely true. There may be a small bottleneck running a GPU like the 6900 XT at PCIe 3.0 but it isn't something to rip out nearly a whole system for

at times I believe some have even said none of AMD's current GPUs are powerful enough to saturate the 3.0 x16 data let alone 4.0 x16 and yet we now have motherboards that support 5.0 x16 with GPUs likely not that far behind

[exotic jacinth]

My 10900K doesn’t bottleneck my 3080 on PCIE3. I’ve seen people using 4090 on the 10900 and still getting good usage out of it on PCIE3.

[slim garden]

Hello

Y'all there

[exotic jacinth]

I think by the time PCIE3 becomes obsolete so will that era of CPUs. PCIE2 is still fine now at least with entry level/midrange GPUs.

[novel lava]

is there a way to buy an xbox elite 2 controller without all the accessories for less than the one with the carrying case and such? i already have a controller and accessories but the controller has multiple problems and i think i need to get a new one.

[dusky wave]

does the 5600 and 5700x have the same power draw so i could use the fs140 v3 black cpu cooler

[ruby heath]

@novel lavaRazer Wolverine controller is on sale for $89.99 on amazon RN idk if you like that controller but a lot of people like it over the Elite

[dusky wave]

thats a great deal

[ruby heath]

yea i ordered one even though i rarely use controllers 💀

[smoky flame]

default TDP does appear to be the same (65W) but under certain conditions the 5700X may use a bit more power since it has 8 cores compared to the 5600's 6 cores though those conditions are unlikely to be seen most of the time while gaming, more of a synthetic CPU benchmark thing

[novel lava]

that is a good deal but that controller is wired, and i'm hoping to continue using a wireless controller. i can't actually see many wireless options for pc gaming except from MS and sony

[ruby heath]

True i forgot it was only wired.

[novel lava]

it's just lame that i gotta pay like $170 for a controller with a bunch of accessories when i don't want the accessories. i guess i can keep the old controller and accessories as a backup...

[ruby heath]

why is a wireless controller that important for PC though

[exotic jacinth]

Nice not to have the wires draping around

I don’t even play my pc at a desk.

[ruby heath]

rip

[novel lava]

i have my gaming pc hooked up to my big screen tv and i play on my couch

[dusky wave]

not all of us have that luxury or space so wired controllers are good for that

[summer grove]

Anyone know a lot about computers?

I'm having issues with bluetooth

[dusky wave]

All my parts for pc will arrive over next week. I will order new gpu in a few weeks. Can i use my old rx560 gpu until i get a 6800xt? Once i get new gpu do i need to use ddu or can i just install the amd driver for 6800xt

[dusky wave]

Dont use bluetooth

[exotic jacinth]

Probably don’t need to use DDU as it’s just going to use the same driver version anyway but you can if you want to do a clean wipe.

[dusky wave]

Yeah

[smoky flame]

I DDU any time I get a new GPU just to ensure that GPU is fully supported, compatible and doesn't run into any issues from an old GPU entries - is really the only time I use DDU

[exotic jacinth]

I usually do that if I'm changing from AMD to Nvidia or vice versa

[smoky flame]

I just do that overall to ensure the best results or at least what I'd hope ensures that. Step by step. DDU drivers of current GPU, shutdown PC and power off completely (from power supply and wall), uninstall old GPU from motherboard and install new GPU, power back on, boot up and install latest drivers and hey presto few minutes at most and back to gaming hopefully with higher framerates and a toastier room in the winter!

[soft jasper]

No

[summer grove]

Hey guys just curious but is there a fix to run msi afterburner while playing red dead redemption 2. The game was running perfectly through chapter 1 with it on but when I got to chapter 2 it just crashes as soon as it tries loading in the game

Msi is what I use to keep an eye on temps and fps but can only play the game with it off

I don't do any overclocking also and apparently the game doesn't support overclocked cards. I just use afterburner to keep an eye on temps or fps

[exotic jacinth]

You can see fps and usage with game bar not sure about temps

[robust pelican]

yo who wants free pc game pass

anyone?

[summer grove]

I have gamebar off to increase fps

I like using msi afterburner

[hasty tusk]

Post your code in #xbox-game-pass and someone will grab it. If you got it from Nitro, Be sure to mention it’s for new subscribers only.

[exotic jacinth]

Just saying, it might be an easier solution if afterburner isn’t compatible

[last remnant]

I don't really track temps and such, I just play

[summer grove]

Fair but I like to track temps as I want to make sure everything runs smoothly

[exotic jacinth]

You can turn in the fps counter in steam as well

[summer grove]

But msi afterburner has everything

Temps, fps counter, can check pretty much anything with it

[last remnant]

I trust that my PC has good temps and FPS I have enabled in most games because that I actually look at

[summer grove]

Well in summer my room can get very hot as I don't have an aircon

So once it reaches 40+ degrees outside, it'll be similar inside also

[exotic jacinth]

Afterburner doesn’t always work well with every game. It can be hit or miss

[summer grove]

That's celcius

Not Fahrenheit

[summer grove]

True which sucks

Pretty much every game in my library can run with msi on though

And red dead redemption was literally working throughout chapter 1

With no crashes but when I got to horseshoe overlook that's when it crashed

And wouldn't load the game after that

[smoky flame]

I've only come across two games where MSI Afterburner didn't work. Destiny 2 and Forza Horizon 4

[exotic jacinth]

Some of the games with anti cheat systems don’t like it either

[summer grove]

I've never had issues with anti cheat

Every game runs fine except for destiny 2 which is the only exception

And it doesn't make any sense that red dead was working perfectly for the start of the game though with msi on

[exotic jacinth]

I don’t see any performance difference using game bar. It should be ok to use for red dead if you have no other option

[smoky flame]

both Nvidia and AMD have alternatives to MSI Afterburner that can report all the same metrics though idk if Nvidia's allows any CPU monitoring. AMD Software does allow for some CPU monitoring but it has to be a Zen 3 CPU or newer I think and I have no clue if Intel have any metrics overlay with their GPUs that also supports CPU monitoring on their end

[summer grove]

Nvidia doesn't have cpu temps though

It has cpu usage

Nvidia only shows gpu temps

[fringe glade]

anyone know how to fix fh5 from syncing for ever

[ruby heath]

yea AMD not only gives you regular temps it also has a sperate reading for the very center of the chip so you can see how hot the hottest spot on the GPU is

[wintry kettle]

I heard rgb gives you better performance

Is this true?

[mellow lintel]

Kind of how light up shoes make you faster.

[wintry kettle]

I see

[smoky flame]

lol 😄 that is completely false. Makes it that you have a lightshow in your room (or where ever you happen you put your gaming PC) and to some while gaming that can be distracting so you'd either want to find a way to set RGB to a static colour or switch it off entirely, which would be a waste of the extra money likely spent on RGB components if it isn't being put to use

[summer bone]

False. I put rgb in my room and now my body has 60% more cooling performance.

[obtuse edge]

Rgb = radical gaming booster

[exotic jacinth]

The more lights you have in the case the higher your FPS will be naturally 🤣

[glad prism]

m

[lapis rune]

Obviously

[smoky flame]

I really miss 1440p gaming. Been gaming at 4K for around 5-6 months and thought it was endgame stuff 😄 but upon changing the resolution in two games I play right now (Battlefield 2042 and FH5) I go from 60-80 FPS at 4K to 120-140 FPS at 1440p. I think I might take a Series S approach to things going forward. 4K for media and 1440p for gaming

[full flint]

do a athlon 3000g work with gtx 750 ti

[exotic jacinth]

If you have a free PCIE slot it should be fine

Yes it's work with eGPU

[full flint]

whats that

[full flint]

eGPU?

[exotic jacinth]

The slot you put the GPU in

[full flint]

ah

yes i have one

[tired light]

i wanna build a good 1080p rig, should i get a 1070 ti (175 eur) 1080 (200 eur) 1080 ti (250 eur).

well not build, im just popping a gpu into a used pc.

[last remnant]

Do feel free to mention the other parts of that PC

[obtuse edge]

I'd say 1080 ti. Better preformance and the 11gb of ram over the 8gb of the 1080 would hold you out longer for the future.

[tired light]

i7 11700k, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, 512 m.2 and 1tb HDD

[tired light]

600$

most other pcs have a 2nd or 4th gen cpu...

around that price

i forgot to say how much ram.

[tired light]

well again i am upgrading in like 1.5 years.

but i do wanna play rdr2 and such at above 60 fps max settings

[obtuse edge]

Just looked it up. The 1080ti with a 11700k (funny your exact cpu) will average 60 on ultra in 1080p on rdr2.

[tired light]

Nice.

Thank you

Damn i forgor about mouse keeb headphones and mic

Around 1.3k

[exotic jacinth]

See if you can get a 2060 for a similar price to the 1080. It will be better these days with DLSS

[tired light]

Nah i cant

They overpriced

And again i plan to upgrade in like 1.5 years

[exotic jacinth]

Are the RDNA1 or RDNA2 cards expensive where you are?

[tired light]

Yup

Bro i plan to upgrade in less than 2 years

I dont need a rdna 2 card rn

[exotic jacinth]

Ok just saying incase you can get something better. Pascal is getting on a bit now.

[tired light]

What

[exotic jacinth]

They are 6 years old and not getting much driver level optimisations anymore

[tired light]

Okay but

I am gonna upgrade to a 3080/3090

So i dont mind using something outdated for a bit

Its still gonna be a great upgrade from my laptop

[obtuse edge]

I just bought my pc case for my first pc

[tired light]

is 1.4k too much for a "budget" set up

i gotta buy peripherals as i have 0.

[mellow lintel]

Depends where you live and the currency you are using

Its a decent budget is US dollars

[obtuse edge]

My first build is gonna be just under 3k US so I'm definitely not budget. Haha cries

[mellow lintel]

I'd consider anything under 1k a 'budget' thing, if you have to buy peripherals.

More is easily doable.

It wont be best of the best of the best.. but it will be a solid mid tier rig. :)

[obtuse edge]

Definitely. Prices are real good rn and will probably be a lil better once the recession fully hits.

[mellow lintel]

I would say to take time to buy parts, if you can. Make sure to know what you are getting and when its the good price

Little bit at a time when the prices are good

[obtuse edge]

I just bought my case for 35 off so I'm happy

[mellow lintel]

Nice!

[obtuse edge]

I'm very excited to build my first. Now I just need to get the rest little by little.

[flat seal]

Yea today I should be setting up my 3060. I have it in my room, monitor will go there as well.

[tired light]

eur

yeah its a solid mid tier rig.

the i7 is what i wanted

a newer i7*.

[tired light]

hell good upgrade.

i cant wait to play games i played before but never could replay on my goofy laptop

vampyr,subnautica,gta 5, what more

and try new games

ah god i keep forgetting about the rules here. strike 2...

[smoky flame]

what case was it?

[obtuse edge]

Fractal Torrent Compact rgb. Got it for 160. Usually 190-200.

[tired light]

what gpu.

[smoky flame]

heh nice, I might look at getting myself the Fractal Design Torrent with no window

[obtuse edge]

Imma see what the 7900xtx has to offer. Gonna wait for all the models to come out before I make a choice. Wanna see if the 3 8 pin makes a difference over the 2 pin reference.

[tired light]

all right nice.

ill probably get a 30 series as an upgrade to the 1080 ti.

and use that untill maybe the 9000 amd series

[obtuse edge]

Nice. I wanted a somewhat small case that's great with airflow. Torrent c seemed like a spot on choice.

[tired light]

oh yeah i cant use that hp omen case with a 3080/3090 🗿

ill probs go for a corsair 4000d

[smoky flame]

less than 2 weeks to go now until AMD's Radeon RX 7900 series launch!

[tired light]

i wont go with nvidia after the upgrade.

cuz the price to performance isnt that good, im just lucky 3080's/3090's are cheaper used than amd counterparts

[smoky flame]

I always thought it was the other way around

[tired light]

eh amd cards are less available

so they're more expensive on the second hand market.

[tired light]

but retail yeah.

amd is cheaper than nvidia in the retail market

[smoky flame]

I'd say anything above a 3080 Ti isn't really worth it with Nvidia and that is including their newest cards, the 4080 and 4090. 3080 Ti offers 3090 tier performance but cheaper (and lacking half of the VRAM) kind of a blast to the past where the 1080 Ti was once the best GPU that would give all the performance you'd possibly want without paying then Titan prices

[tired light]

i want a 3090 ngl.

as i said i probably wont upgrade for 2-3 gens

[flat seal]

I even got a new mouse & keyboard with the 3060

3090 is like… too much $

My 3060 was $921.18 with Black Friday. $300 was saved.

[smoky flame]

pricing has fallen drastically for the RTX 30 series in recent months

[flat seal]

Oh has it?

[smoky flame]

most GPUs should be back to near MSRP or lower these days

looks like it, even without cyber monday pricing from this retailer that seems close to the MSRP of a 3060 and I believe nvidia are adding stock of 3060 with GDDR6X memory (the same memory that's on 3070 Ti and above cards)

[mellow lintel]

I have a 3070 and its just fine.

But i got a real big case so i would have an easier time putting things in lol

[smoky flame]

case and power supply are the only components to have lasted as far back as when I first built my PC but that may all be about to change. Targeting a 7900 XTX and honestly I don't mind too much if it is one of the MBA (made by AMD) or AIB cards but after that I may well need a new power supply and it got me thinking of a new case too while I'm at it, one with at least one USB C port would be nice, if I don't go for the Fractal Design Torrent like I have planned to

[dusky wave]

The only 6800xt i could find that has the amd bundle in the states is a backorder of phantom gaming. Today is last day for the 20 usd rebate

[obtuse edge]

Let's gooooooooo

4k 100-120hz gaming ftw

[surreal moss]

Cute

[obtuse edge]

I'm guessing you're a 1440/1080 240hz kinda soul

[latent gate]

still running your 360hz monitor?

[obtuse edge]

Well I mean soon we'll have 500 hz monitors.

[wintry kettle]

My gpu is trash

[dusky wave]

how bad

[wintry kettle]

I have a Gtx 1650 on life support

I stutter very bad on lower titles it might be my single channel ram idk

[dusky wave]

im even worse rx 560 2gb. currently building a new pc from scratch not getting 6800xt until after amd drops the 7900xt/xtx in a few weeks

[obtuse edge]

2 weeks

[smoky flame]

tbf I do wonder what 360Hz is like and if I'd notice any difference between it and 240Hz. Not that it matters since I wouldn't see that sort of framerate even at 1080p or 1440p in titles outside of competitive esports games but I was always told when I had a 1080p monitor that I should have upgraded to 1440p, then more recently that 1440p wasn't standard or something along those lines and that content is made for 1080p and 4K with no in between so switched to 4K, was more of a jump to 4K really. I should have waited for OLED to get good on a reasonably sized 4K monitor with a high refresh rate. LG have at least one in the works I'm aware of 4K 240Hz but it is only 27 inch (technically 26.5 inch) and just due to the screen size alone it misses out on being something I'd purchase, not sure I could drop down to 27 inch when using a 32 inch monitor that needs 150% scaling as is and 100% scaling really is too small. Only way I'd be getting that is on a display that is around 46 inch at 4K since that meets the 96 PPI for 100% (native) scaling

[exotic jacinth]

I wouldn't want to spoil myself at super high refresh-rates, not sure if I would be able to go back 😅

[smoky flame]

I'm already there and feel I can't turn back so it is either 4K 240Hz or higher and as of December 13th with the launch of the 7900 series from AMD that supports Displayport 2.1 it is going to open the doors to monitors with even higher refresh rates at 4K and even 8K165Hz. Craziest thing is I'm not even sure AMD are using the full 80Gbps version of DP 2.1 so there is room to go even further still. Saying that though, GPUs have some way still to go before high refresh rate (120Hz+) 4K gaming becomes the new norm (think what 1080p high refresh rate used to be)

[exotic jacinth]

I'm pretty simple minded in terms of refresh rates. 60FPS stable is enough for me and I don't want to spoil myself there but I'm sure 240hz and higher is very nice.

[smoky flame]

navigating the desktop 240Hz is definitely nice. Small test I do is moving the mouse cursor in a circle really fast I see very few gaps compared to 60Hz but 120Hz is pretty close, at least to my eyes and while I may not reach that in frame rate there is somewhat of a smoothness to it in games that isn't there if I was to set my monitor to 120Hz or 60Hz though that may just be the Freesync eliminating the screen tearing

[exotic jacinth]

I also have 120hz on my Macbook and iPad as well. Feels nice just scrolling around definitely

[wicked kestrel]

I have a 120 hertz mode on my s21 but it drains battery

[tired light]

Ill probably never go 4k

1080p gaming

[wicked kestrel]

1080p is still fine in my opinion

After i got my pc probally gonna save up for a 1440p monitor but i dont really need it

[ruby heath]

i play on 1080p as well

[smoky flame]

while I am using a 4K monitor I drop the in game resolution to 1440p or where possible make use of FSR. Kind of wish all games showed the the internal resolution was while setting FSR though just from knowledge (with the exception of some devs maybe wanting to be awkward) FSR quality mode should be internal 1440p at 4K

[dusky wave]

Agreed. People who have the money 2 afford a 4k monitor and a 4k gaming setup i would do 4k all the way unless im playing on shooters then 1440p144hz

[autumn sluice]

4k is still niche but is expanding. unless you have hardware to support it, 1440p is the most ppl should go for

[dusky wave]

4k gaming 4 pc players is a lot better 4 the cost now than it was 2 years ago

[autumn sluice]

not really

now we just have more off brand subpar 4k screens flooding the market

do 4k 360 hz

thank me later

[crisp ice]

hello. ive noticed while playing using an xbox wireless controller connected with Bluetooth to PC i dont get a battery low warning or anything. The controller just switches off mid game. Is there a setting I can change or does it not work like the xbox does due to Bluetooth ?

[obtuse edge]

That's what I plan to do lol

[timber mist]

not a setting

but a pretty good solution

connect it via wire

[crisp ice]

🤨

[obtuse edge]

I believe they meant USB cable

[smoky flame]

https://hothardware.com/news/geforce-rtx-4090-bios-update-play-need-speed-unbound this is just comical... a $1700 GPU and Nvidia A. have a potential fire hazard on their hands and B. it seemingly can't play certain games without a vBIOS update that if I'm not mistaken doing so will void warranty? oh and C. it is $1700...

[obtuse edge]

Thanks nvidia

[crisp ice]

i know. and they are not wrong. but im old and find wireless stuff amazing.✌️ and dont miss that swinging of the controller cable movement i needed to use growing up with cables.

[obtuse edge]

Understandable

[last remnant]

Now I want them to fix minecraft bug with nvidia GPU

not making sure the cable is actually entirely plugged in

GamersNexus did a vid breaking it down

Wasn't it both user error and something else possibly? don't remember entirely what was said

So question. Where does amd sell they're reference cards? Like other than their own site?

[red nest]

the xbox app is being weird

i restarted it

i tried a fresh install

but whatever is happening

clicking the sign in button or anything account related does absolutly nothing

it has my Microsoft account

it has my store acount

it even has my game pass subscription info

it refuses to recognize my pc

please help

[smoky flame]

AMD sell their reference designs on their store and retailers will have MBA cards that are reference design but usually come with the branding of one of the AIB partners so for instance you will see something like this on a retailer page “AMD RX 7900 XTX 24GB GIGABYTE MBA/Reference design”

[obtuse edge]

Might go for a saphire card if I can lol

[exotic jacinth]

Sapphire do pretty nice designs

[brisk granite]

Can anyone recommend me some games from the xbox 360 era that are on steam? There were a lot of good games back then that I was never able to experience. So far I'm thinking Far Cry 3 and Dishonored. (I have played Skyrim)

[exotic jacinth]

Halo MCC, Bioshock games, Borderlands 1 and 2, Left 4 dead 2, Portal 2, GTA4, Mass effect trilogy, Dragon age 1 and 2, Batman Arkham series, Bayonetta, Battlefield 3…. To name a few

Though doubtful

[tired light]

i'll do the same thing, but on the release of the 8k series

ill probs pop a 1080 ti in there and get a steam deck

then get a "last gen" card when the amd 8000/nvidia 5000 series comes out

[dusky wave]

That wont be till at least 2024. Plus my current rig everything is at least 7 years old

[tired light]

...well yeah

i know

[dusky wave]

I really cant wait that long. I cant run much on a rx560 2gb

8k monitors and tvs is still way too expensive for the average person. Plus nothing currently is shot in 8k not netflix. Plus u need at least 40 series/7000 series to run pc at 8k @tired light

[tired light]

... eh?

Who talked abt 8k

Im gonna overkill 1080p.

[dusky wave]

I cant do 1080p. I already have 4k 144hz monitor

[tired light]

...i was talking about myself

[dusky wave]

Yeah i know. I havent game at 1080p since 2020.

[tired light]

Ah mb theb

[dusky wave]

What?

[tired light]

Ah my bad then.

[dusky wave]

After i switch 2 series x in 2020 i havent gone back to 1080p. Plus pc build will match or exceed what i have on console

[ruby heath]

whats the point of having a console and a PC

[exotic jacinth]

Exclusives, play in different rooms, ease of use etc..

[plucky light]

Anybody knows what the ISP speeds needed to utilize Xbox cloud gaming platform?

[obtuse edge]

I feel that. Love my 4k/1440p after getting a series x so I don't think I'd be able to go down once I build a pc.

[dusky wave]

I couldnt afford a 4k rig in 2020

[ruby heath]

i like as many frames as i can possibly get so i always do lowest settings

[dusky wave]

For shooters i could see that but im a guy who love his open world games. I cant go low in those games

[ruby heath]

true

[dusky wave]

If i could het 4k60 in those type of games im happy

[obtuse edge]

I want my games to run smooth and look good. Max everything if I can and play at 4k or 1440p depending on how hard it is to hit atleast 100-120 fps

[ruby heath]

damn i dont think i haver ever played a game with max settings

[dusky wave]

U need something like 40 series or 7000 series card for 4k120 or something along those lines maybe 3090 or 6950xt maybe

[obtuse edge]

Hense why I aim for my first pc to have a 7900xtx.

If I'm going to notice an upgrade from console to pc. I gotta pay to notice it..... unfortunately

[dusky wave]

Open world games i will be happy at 4k60 i just cant justify spending 1k on a gpu rn.

[obtuse edge]

Understandable

[ruby heath]

new AMD cards look great too bad most of the becnhmarks they showed were with FSR

[obtuse edge]

They showed benchmarks without fsr like a week after the show

[ruby heath]

oh

[obtuse edge]

I think warzone 2 gets like 139 fps in 4k on the xtx

[ruby heath]

thats good

i would of thought it got more from what they showed tho

[obtuse edge]

Yeah hold on let me find those other numbers

72 fps in 4k no raytracing in cyberpunk

98 in god of war
109 assassin's creed Valhalla
93 red dead 2
138 re village with raytracing

[ruby heath]

thats not great for them advertising high framerates at 4k gaming

[obtuse edge]

I mean cyberpunk is understandable given well it's cyberpunk. Rest seem alright

[ruby heath]

Cyberpunk and red dead both

so is FSR3 going to work with the last GPUs

[tired light]

i wanna do ma but retain a very high fps

so ill buy a pc,then a deck then a new gpu in the span of 2 or so years

[ruby heath]

some games look great even on low settings tbh

like Halo and Battlefield for example

[exotic jacinth]

I hate playing on low settings. Would rather max out what I can at 60 fps

[ruby heath]

i feel input lag at 60 maybe its in my head

[exotic jacinth]

Depends what you are used to I suppose.

[ruby heath]

i mainly cap at 144

[flint fox]

Why cant we pay with Paysafe?

[ruby heath]

look in the xbox app

yea its also on windows

When your Game Pass runs out, you can no longer play the games unless you buy them or sub to Game Pass again.

No

That's why I said 'You can no longer play them'

A lot of games can be played offline, but only while you're subscribed to Game Pass. Once that runs out, you lose access to the games. That's how subscriptions work.

You can look at https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games

No official confirmation on that yet. They're kinda dancing around it.
