Yeah I don't really like laptops for gaming personally. I think I would only ever get another one if I traveled a lot.

last remnant
#

It's nice for portability, but I feel like the specs don't say as much as the desktop counterpart, ofc

dusky wave
#

Feel the same especially the cooling. They get very hot if u play games on them.

ruby spear
#

I use my laptop mainly for quick stuff I may want to do if the TV is in use, or if I want to use it at my desk/on the split monitor. I also use it when we're doing bot lobbies in Fortnite because my PC is connected to the same TV as the Xbox so I don't want to switch inputs back and forth.

Also when travelling, so I can keep my achievement streak going.

But with the new desktop, most proper gaming is done on there because I was able to hook it up to the TV.

#

Gaming laptops come in handy, but high spec ones are super noisy. The fans are louder than a PS4 when they kick in 😄

Plus upgrading laptop sounds very troublesome especially if some part solder directly onto the mobo

ruby spear
#

I wouldn't even dare try and upgrade laptop parts.

smoky flame
#

me neither. I've heard it can be really difficult to impossible

ruby spear
#

I've not built a PC myself for a long time and always hated doing it because I was paranoid about screwing something up or bending pins. I think the last one I actually built myself was when I had a 1060.

With these gigantic cards now and all the extra power cables and cooling needed, all kinds of different things that changed over the years, I'm well out of touch with building.

I can swap out/add more RAM and probably swap out the GPU if I get an upgrade in the future, but a full build from scratch is not something I can be bothered with any more.

#

Too much hassle and effort and a lot of risk if I mess it up. I'd much rather pay the extra and get a pre-built, or a custom made one.

smoky flame
#

only part I really don't like swapping when upgrading is the motherboard, the whole securing it with the 9 screws isn't an issue it's more connecting that extremely annoying 8 pin CPU cable at the top of the motherboard that usually annoys me the most. So little space to work with after you install an air cooler. 😠 If board brands could redesign that and move it near to where the 24 pin motherboard connector was it would make upgrades a breeze

exotic jacinth
#

I'm probably the opposite on that one. Built my own systems for over 10 years now and would be paranoid letting someone else build it for me as I like everything the way I want. Especially after watching all the Gamers nexus reviews on pre builds by these larger companies, that being said I totally understand why people decide to go with a prebuilt system.

smoky flame
#

and yeah, Rhinne I worry a lot about messing something up too. In fact, my rebuild didn't go completely smooth. I had my old motherboard remove one of the case stand offs and had a freakout moment but luckily someone on another server I know showed me how to fix that and all is good again but I feel by now, having rebuilt my PC 3 times since building it that I should be faster and able to breeze through it, yet somehow there are things that can still stop me/cause me to worry 😦

ruby spear
#

The last one I built, there was an issue with the CPU cooler. Everything looked fine, it seemed like it was properly secured, but somehow wasn't so the PC was overheating super fast and shutting down. Took me a couple of days to figure it out, then had to return the part and wait for a replacement.

I know a prebuild or custom build costs more, but I'd rather not be dealing with the hassle of troubleshooting tech issues all night when I do that all day in work, then having the hassle of dismantling, replacing parts, rebuilding. I just want to play my games.

smoky flame
#

my first PC was a prebuild and a rather poor one at that but it is what sparked me wanting to become a PC gamer and as they say, the rest is history. Even with how expensive things are becoming I don't think I'd go back now. Far too invested into it. Though I might just have to slow the upgrading down a bit, if that's possible 😅

exotic jacinth
#

Yeah that is understandable for sure. I think the main thing to avoid is those large OEMs like Dell on the prebuilds. They use proprietary PSUs and have some pretty poor configurations like only having single channel ram on the system reviews that I've seen. A custom build made by someone else though should be ok tho hopefully.

ruby spear
#

I went with ones from Scan for my recent PC. Same for the one I ordered for Lucy which is coming today at some point.

smoky flame
#

custom builds that give you a wide range of options for each component and having someone with say 20 years build experience behind them build it is about as good as it gets. That's the exception. I'd definitely avoid prebuilds but custom builds built by self or someone else all good. Should have a more personal and premium feel to it

exotic jacinth
#

Yeah and much better repairability as well.

#

My desktop I built 11 years ago is still fine now and a lot of my older systems due to being able to swap out parts.

smoky flame
#

nice. I think my first system's CPU would still be alright to this day as well (was only around 6 years or so ago I build it) get it a new CPU cooler etc and it would probably do something

exotic jacinth
#

I don't use it as my main system anymore but it is totally fine and nice to use as a backup or for old games that have issues on high thread count systems, which I notice seems to be more of an issue now with 10+ core systems on games older than 5+ years

#

My bit fenix prodigy ITX build I have used as a HTPC since around 2014 and that is going strong as well. Quite nice form factor just to have in the living room specifically and decent for older games and some newer ones.

smoky flame
#

there are ways around that I could suggest where you could have CPUs as recent and powerful as say the 13900KS and 7950X3D playing those older games perfectly fine but it would require some tinkering with a program called process lasso. These older games would have no clue what an E-core or second CCD is, might not even make use of hyperthreading/SMT either but you could work out the best core(s) on these CPUs and have that game run on those while disabling the E-cores/second CCD and maybe even multithreading on the fly. Would be kind of wild to see just how well these older games could run on a CPU that can reach 5GHz+ when frequency then was likely still in 3-4GHz territory

# pale spoke you can connect it to a 4090 egpu

ahh that might be what it was. All I remember was reading something about a handheld and a 4090 lol (and yes, I was double checking it wasn't some April fool's) ROG Ally actually looks pretty cool but knowing Asus that ROG branding is going to come at a premium. It'll cost more than the Steam Deck for sure

smoky flame
#

anyone had issues running Microsoft Flight Simulator? I can get into the menu etc but as soon as I try to load up a discovery flight it crashes on me and sends me right back to the desktop 😦 on the crash I get the suggestion that overclocking, overheating or due to a driver fault. Two of the suggestions I know aren't likely as I haven't overclocked (unless it wants to be ridiculously fussy and call me setting my RAM to DOCP II - 6000 MHz as overclocking) as for overheating neither the CPU or GPU come close to the thresholds to overheat, well below so it can only really be a driver fault...

For some kind of reason, whenever I'm using the xbox to download something from the game pass, it's really slow and my pc os really hood, ot has storage, my wifi is also good, what I mean by slow is that when I download forza 5, after 2 hours it only fownoladed 6 gb out of 135 gb

Hello I have a question, with an Xbox can you use it like a pc?

in what way do you mean?

I'm way too used to MSI Afterburner to switch at this point or I'd give it a go but yeah, the size of Microsoft Flight Sim and the time it took to download it all fully I had hoped for a better experience. Think the download size is about 160GB which is easily the biggest game (if you can actually call it that?) I've downloaded and it was immediately put under the spotlight due to that. Performance issues or something I just don't find interesting and it was uninstalled, just so happened it had the first but I did get to fly around a little and performance was alright but for the most part I had no idea what I was doing so just not my kind of game 😅

I will probably get the 8250x3d or later in 7 years or so

#

Or whatever is the equivalent to 7950x3d in 6 years

simple terrace
#

Beat the 7950x3D? wow.

#

That's your CPU, right... sub?

smoky flame
#

yep and I don't think it beats it. In value? sure but the 7950X3D has a different target audience to the 7800X3D. That being gamer/content creator vs just gamer and sure, I could have saved myself some £250 waiting on the 7800X3D but I was just too impatient. The wait for stock of the 7800X3D will probably be much worse than the 7950X3D so no real loss imo. It will pay itself off over time

#

Seems the 3D V-Cache CCD on the 7950X3D clocks a couple hundred MHz higher than the 7800X3D so technically when the software scheduler AMD implemented with Xbox Game Bar and some additional chipset driver components kicks in the 7950X3D should be the better processor overall, even if that improvement is small but if purely a gamer and looking to upgrade to the AM5 platform though take this advice and just buy the 7800X3D. Don't be like me and impulse buy. As great a processor as this may well be a large chunk of the time it will only be utilizing that 3D V-Cache CCD while the other CCD is parked (as is the software scheduling implementation)

dusky wave

#

Very likely on the 5 years to AM6 thing. As for what series it'll be, likely higher than 8000 series by then. If each CPU series launch is about 1 year to a year and a half with AMD, AM6 may launch as Ryzen 11000 Series. All speculative and I don't like to get into all that these days lol

Even 4090 you would have to turn some stuff down to get 4K 240fps likely or the CPU wouldn’t be able to reach it in intensive games

simple terrace
devout remnant
#

4090 would obliterate most MP games on max at 4K

exotic jacinth

Yeah it does depend, like Plague tale requiem or Spider-Man I don’t think it would be possible to hold 240fps regardless on the CPU side or GPU

devout remnant

#

Single player games u could get anyway with 60fps at the min. Shooters like cod better the fps

devout remnant
#

60fps makes my head hurt 😄

#

Minimum gotta be 120

#

Ideal is 180-240

#

If not I can wait a few years when hardware catches up again.

#

The 5090 will be a monster because brand new architecture so big gains expected, ofc it’s 1.5 years away.

exotic jacinth
#

Valorant, CSGO and those sorts of games would be no problem obviously. Warzone 240 fps I imagine would still be pretty hard to hold

# devout remnant Win11 best 11

tbh it hasn't been so great for AMD Ryzen CPU owners as there have been various bugs impacting performance since Windows 11 launched. I was even told to consider installing Windows 10 22H2 for my 7950X3D but instead opted for Windows 11 22H2 as I just prefer the latest stuff and sure enough that can come with problems but just in the same way these issues pop up I'd hope they can be fixed

devout remnant
exotic jacinth
#

On the best possible config

devout remnant
exotic jacinth
#

Yeah you are right on that one, got my charts mixed up there

smoky flame
#

one such issue that all hardware may be seeing right now with Windows 11 22H2 is CPU usage reporting being wrong. If you use any metrics software monitor CPU usage and it will likely stay pretty low (I've noticed it hardly pass 11% a lot of the time) and this has been a known issue afaik since the 22H2 update released

#

odd thing is task manager CPU usage reporting seems unaffected from what I've heard so something have clearly gone very wrong somewhere in the OS to prevent 3rd part from updating so fast or a change in how it is updated

#

I will stay on win10 til they cut support

#

Especially asince i have amd ryzen cpu

exotic jacinth

I’m staying on W10 as well probably until 2025

smoky flame
#

I want to do that but at the same time also want the latest features so will probably end up on Windows 12, whenever that goes live publicly lol

exotic jacinth
#

I was the same with windows 7, there wasn’t really any compelling reason to use 8 over it and the UI on 8 was awful so just stuck with 7 until 10 came out

#

Not that 11 is as bad as 8 but there isn’t really any compelling reason for me to use it

dusky wave
smoky flame
#

I really want to see if the claim is true that windows 10 is more suitable for AMD CPUs because if it is I know what I'll be doing tomorrow (fresh installing Windows 10). Only feature I'd really be losing out on is wifi 6e support but since I don't make use of that it can be missed until Windows 11 is in a better state for AMD CPUs or I just wait until Windows 10 is no longer supported (2025) before skipping Windows 11

As of last February, the Xbox Console Companion's streaming functionality was disabled. I needed this to record my Xbox One in OBS, but now that it's gone, I need to find an alternative. The newer Xbox app does have a "remote play" feature which I can use to record, but there's 3 main problems:

  1. It's called Remote Play for a reason, (as far as I know) it doesn't stream the xbox to your computer screen, it plays the game directly on your computer itself, meaning that your computer has to be powerful enough to play the xbox games. My computer is not powerful enough to play xbox games.

  2. It isn't showing up for, I've gone through guides and forums and support pages galore, but everything is either dated or not working, so the option to start Remote Play isn't available to me in the first place.

Does anyone have any insight on fixing this or any 3rd party softwares I can use to replace Xbox Console Companion's streaming?

dusty vector
#

#1 is dramatically incorrect. Remote play is playing the game on your console, just like XCC streaming did.

#

For #2, make sure you've enabled remote features on your console. You may need to sign out and in to your console after you do that, and you may need to quit and restart the Xbox app. But the consoles button should show up in the app after that.

real fjord
#

I just learned that it was incorrect, multiple guides I looked at made it sound like it played the game directly on the pc

#

I already have remote features on, but the UI on the Xbox app has changed and all the guides I can find are outdated, there aren't any updated guides on how to do this

made an interesting discovery last night that made me feel like an idiot... A few days back I was installing the AMD chipset drivers while following a guide by a couple of reviewers as there are some additional setup steps for the 7950X3D and I think I installed the chipset drivers a total of 5 times trying to get the PCI driver to install. Only to last night, at about 3am go into my motherboard's BIOS and disable the iGPU and voila! Upon restart the PCI driver showed (showed as PCI device in device manager initially but a chipset reinstall fixed that) 😅

512GB then the OS takes say 40/50GB so you got around 450GB for games. Much easier to upgrade it.

would it not just be better to get the newer PS5 controller and use that?

that was a change with Windows 11 22H2 so I'm guessing you weren't on that version before? in the past I believe the option was there but it was turned off by default. Windows 11 turned it on by default though afaik it only kicks in on games that originally didn't support VRR or something like that so it seems pretty specific/limited use case scenario but a feature I'd keep enabled tbh. Just like the option below it (Optimizations for windowed games)

Do you think it’s possible to make a 1080p gaming rig for under $600? That can play most games? Not including price of windows

smoky flame
#

not sure tbh. If you mean games today there are GPUs that cost that much alone and with both RAM and VRAM requirements appearing to go up so too is the cost. Minimum on both for games released this year I'd go for is 32GB on the RAM and 12GB on the VRAM and that is to ensure you don't run into any memory related issues

If you do decide to go the used path it would probably be possible. You might get luckily checking local sales and find a good rig someone is selling off or go for used parts on ebay etc that people are selling off at a discount.

Btw, I’m wondering around in Cyberpunk 2077 trying to find a good spot where I could do a direct comparison between ultra + no rt, ultra + rt and ultra + pt to see how much of a difference can be spotted but that is somewhat difficult with some of the in game advertising boards and their content lol

dusky wave
#

Anyone tried ghostwire tokyo is tsr upscaling better or around the same compared to fsr or dlss?

obtuse edge
latent gate
#

what performance.

ruby spear
#

Or lack thereof, from what I've been hearing.

latent gate
#

NVIDIA cards can barely handle it native let alone AMD

#

it's good the tech's being used as gpu manufacturers can work towards improving the calculations, but AMD's Ray-Accelerator design is terrible for RT performance compared to NVIDIA's dedicated sections of the die

ruby spear
#

I need to get further into the game to see as I've not actually properly started until today, but the benchmark and the intro run perfectly fine for me. I don't know what is different between my PC and those who are testing it, but I had no problems.

latent gate
#

but also "can" work towards, doesn't mean "will" as we've seen with NVIDIA's complete lack of pushing VRAM up

#

it mostly just feels like a way to force DLSS adoption. since running at native requires more vram, adding RT requires even more VRAM (significantly more) they can just keep VRAM low, push DLSS, and make sure the competition can't compete in that sector

#

definitely isn't the first time NVIDIA's done this too

ruby spear
#

With DLSS frame generation on, I'm getting a pretty steady 100fps. With it off I get 60fps

#

That's maxed out at 4K with path tracing on.

latent gate
#

yep.

#

"why bother increasing VRAM when we can push DLSS, AMD won't be able to compete since we're not exactly competing in the natural rendering space"

ruby spear
#

But I don't understand why others online with similar specs are reporting 15fps or lower.

latent gate
#

frame gen's likely just turned off

#

since that's much more in line with raw fps

ruby spear
#

Ah wait, I misread Tom Warren's tweet. He says 131 with DLSS on, not 13 😄

#

He's running at 1440p, but I had mine running at 4K which is why I was getting around 100fps.

smoky flame
#

well without ray tracing just ultra settings at 4K I get between 60-75 FPS most of the time. Ultra with ray tracing also set to ultra but no FSR enabled that sharply drops to around 20 FPS. With FSR enabled I can get around 60 FPS (at ultra performance) and ultra settings with path tracing enabled and no FSR I get 5-10 FPS with FSR set to ultra performance bringing it up to around 35 FPS

latent gate
#

path tracing is the final form too

#

hybrid, svogi, and others just don't remotely compare.

ruby spear
#

It does look nice in Cyberpunk, I must say.

#

Ideal game for it with all the light sources everywhere.

latent gate
#

Minecraft, Quake, Portal, and now Cyberpunk (not counting fan projects)

#

Cyberpunk's definitely the heaviest hitter

smoky flame
#

yeah, of the stuff I saw I even admit it looks stunning but that performance drop is absurd. Really got to be a way this can be better accelerated as I seriously don't see gamers wanting to play at sub-30 FPS for what may be a generation or two before it gets even remotely good

latent gate
#

I just hope adoption of path-tracing increases since it's basically what has always came to mind whenever one thinks of "RT" other than those who only think of reflections at least.

smoky flame
#

when you say path tracing is the final form do you mean to say nothing else comes after it?

latent gate
#

Actually...Alan Wake 2's out this year, Remedy's pretty ahead of the curve in a lot of tech, I wonder if they'll have PTRT in it

#

There's not really anything that can come after path-tracing (currently)

#

since it's acting as actual light does

#

RT simulates how light works, but it's usually a cast scatter of rays. path tracing calculates each and every individual ray

ruby spear
#

It would be very nice in AW2

#

And/or Control 2.

latent gate
#

oh it'll for sure be in Control 2 and maybe even max payne remakes

#

AW2's out this year though so hard to say there

ruby spear
#

Maybe a post-launch update.

latent gate
#

after we get path-tracing sorted then it's much easier to focus on fluid sim since RT can be used to calculate that as well.

#

which means smoke, fire, water, and even rain.

#

I think rain's the one spot where we need a lot of improvement

smoky flame
#

rain could arguably create some of the most demanding scenes a game dev has ever seen if we are talking path tracing in it's truest form. Crazy even just thinking about it that EVERY puddle and body of water could be reflecting light sources and not just that, at varying intensities too. Definitely exciting stuff ahead

latent gate
#

path tracing already covers that

#

I'm not referring to light and reflections

#

that's entry level stuff

#

I'm referring to fluid dynamics

#

it could also be beneficial for AI as well.

#

since a lot of games use ray-casts for "line-of-sight" detection of objects and characters

smoky flame
#

just how "real" are games possibly going to get? 😮

latent gate
#

using full-on RT, and Path-traced RT no less means that a character could use reflections and refractions to see movement/shadows/objects

smoky flame
#

I think the next game Nvidia may look to overdrive is Ghostwire Tokyo. Already looks great but take it to the next level with path tracing and oh wow!

latent gate
#

eh. I don't know.

#

I think it'd be neat to have them work on Plague Tale Requiem with ASOBO

smoky flame
#

ooh, yeah there is that

latent gate
#

overdrive is specific terminology to Cyberpunk

#

honestly......flight simulator

smoky flame
#

btw, with DLSS 3/frame generation enabled on Nvidia GPUs can it also use DLAA? I heard DLAA is just DLSS without the upscaling component that can actually improve on most in game TAA implementations (at an additional cost though)

#

ehh it could use it too but Flight Simulator was already tough enough to get a grasp of without path tracing entering the mix lol

latent gate
#

DLAA is just antialiasing algorithm

#

iirc it's still applied to DLSS-active outputs

smoky flame
#

oh, so it can be used with DLSS? Thought it was a case of one or the other but if not, then if one wanted on an Nvidia GPU, they could have the full array of Nvidia's AI features at work (on supported cards) DLSS (quality, balanced or performance mode) + frame generation + DLAA. I got to see that in action 😮

one or the other for implementation usually

B660M is also a smaller motherboard just to make sure you are aware for whatever case to plan to install it in oh and with B660 you will likely need to flash a more recent BIOS to support a 13th gen CPU as that launched with 12th gen

seems the F21 BIOS for that motherboard is the earliest one that offers support for the 13600K though the latest one also has an interesting note about the 3060 so you may even want to update to that version

yeah its going in a Phanteks case

might be better to look at B760 or Z790 options to ensure the system will boot without requiring a BIOS update. Could be fine on B660 but just double check the CPU support part on the motherboard brand site as that will give you any additional information regarding BIOS updates

I think it can vary game to game. Personally I'm not even 100% sure how AMD's Anti-Lag feature works/the condition(s) needed for it to work properly.
Enhanced sync is pretty straight forward. Exceed monitor's refresh rate and rather than cap FPS with Vsync that adds a latency penalty, enable Enhanced Sync and it raises the Freesync range ceiling allowing tear free gaming beyond say 120 FPS, 144 FPS and so on

well I was playing it at maxed settings and 4K and it used around 25GB RAM but resolution and settings used may alter that. Haven't really done much testing on that to find out but I'd probably still suggest at least 32GB tbh.
I'm the type that just cranks stuff to the highest settings, knowing full well it is not worth it from a performance perspective. Just wish there were guides online that could go through each setting and include visuals to spot the differences and where there is none but a decent increase in performance to be had I'd even look to drop some of those settings but to me it isn't as straight forward as to just drop from the ultra preset to high as there may be some noticeable loss in visual quality

The actual technical reason as to why it doesn’t work with Vulkan/DX12 is because the render queue length is decided by the game engine, rather than the gpu.

This feature was super successful with DX9-DX11 titles because the default render queue length was 3, and controlled by GPU, not game. Turning this on reduced it to 1, resulting in huge latency reductions (like -66.6ms at 30 FPS). Most modern games are built to not queue that long anymore so it’s not effective, even if it were to work

#

Ex: Halo Infinite is DX12, so as I just explained the render queue is controlled by the game engine, not the GPU. The slipspace engine’s max render queue length is 1.5 frames. Because of how the game executes, it’s 1 frame or less. Even if the setting actually worked, it wouldn’t do anything.

smoky flame
#

definitely taking a note of this. Honestly to me feels like DirectX 12 has been somewhat of a step backwards rather than forwards

#

also, with Windows 11 22H2 there's the fullscreen optimization feature that expands from only supporting DirectX 12 (previously) to DirectX 10 and 11 while claiming to lower latency and some other stuff. Between that and features like Anti-Lag on a DirectX 11 API supported game would that technically be a game changer?

Man Forza Horizon 3 is a gem with a modern GPU. Just got an RX6600 and it’s so smooth. Full VRR support so I just maxed out the settings and let it float around 60

I got it with my Xbox years ago but never got around to playing it

Even the trigger rumble works over Bluetooth. I remember this being considered a poor port because of the performance but it’s very stable unlike most bad ports

does anyone know if i can use a monitor with at least 120 hz i fi have a amd radeon rx 570 graphics card? thinking of upgrading my monitor

#

currently have a 60 hz monitor

#

my main game is Destiny 2

iron spindle
wanton zealot
#

maybe 100?

iron spindle
#

not really that GPU is quite old I would at lest want a 6700XT

#

what resolution do you want to play at?

smoky flame
#

with how old the RX 570 is now I doubt that. Without lowering the settings some more but you could always buy a higher refresh rate monitor with the option to upgrade to a much faster GPU later. Though just be sure your power supply is good enough to handle that when the time comes and the new GPU fits in your case and all should be good from there 👍

wanton zealot
#

i wanna say my power supply is either 350w or 450w i cant remember and i cant find the box it came with lmao

iron spindle
#

then you need to upgrade your power supply as well

wanton zealot
#

ah i figured

#

not gunna lie i thought the 6700xt would be expensive lol im not really great at keeping up with the new tech amd is making, i should tho

exotic jacinth
wanton zealot
#

i lied i either have a 450 or 550 my b lol

#

i have a ryzen 5 2600 six core CPU, raden rx 570 GPU with 4 gb, 16gb RAM and somewhere between a 450 and 550w power supply

exotic jacinth
#

Probably want to upgrade to a 5600x at least for modern games these days. 2600 will hold you back from most modern midrange gpus

#

You might be able to keep the same board if it’s supported when upgrading the cpu

wanton zealot

true

lemme find my MOBO on newegg so i can shw u

iron spindle
#

Your likley better off just starting again and doing a new build

wanton zealot
#

my bad for bombarding the caht with stuff like this, i was just curious on wat i would need for future upgrades

#

so a ryzen 5 5600x, rx6500xt, at least a 650w power supply

exotic jacinth
# wanton zealot ----ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Mothe...

Yeah it would work. You would need to upgrade your bios version if did go that way https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450M-HDV R4.0/index.asp#CPU

#

is 16gb of RAM still good?

#

im not super tech savvy either i had a friend help me like when i was getting the parts and he helped me build it, he was tech savvy af lol

iron spindle
#

16GB of Ram is okay

#

It depending on what you want and going to be doing. If you stream alot and do a lot of video editing then you may want to think about 32gb RAm

wanton zealot
#

should i get these parts off newegg, like last time or go somewhere else like somewehre local to me

iron spindle
#

thats up to you

wanton zealot
exotic jacinth
#

32GB is becoming more common to see as recommended now. 16GB will be ok for a while longer tho I think

smoky flame
#

if your budget could allow you to get it I'd even look at getting the 5800X3D. Pretty much the best AM4 CPU you can buy and is great for gaming though you might need a new motherboard with that as I'm not sure how well your motherboard will handle it

wanton zealot
exotic jacinth
#

Not anytime soon. DDR4 is still perfectly fine

wanton zealot
#

sweet

dusky wave
#

Also if u getting amd 6000 gpu and amd 5000 cpu recommend getting ddr4 at 3600 since ryzen 5000 series work better at 3600

wanton zealot
#

i mean i spent around 600 on my PC parts when i got them to build about 4 years ago so id say my PC is doing well, for wat i have

dusky wave
#

But if u planning on playing anything new like destiny 2 or starfield ur pc needs a full new build

wanton zealot
#

i mean i can do Destiny 2 at 60 frames for the most part, i just have graphics settings on average or normal watever they are set on for my GPU

#

just when i get into aaction heavy areas that it tanks around 30 fps

#

but not all the time

exotic jacinth
#

Destiny 2 isn’t that intensive but starfield probably will be

wanton zealot
#

i dont really do starfield lol, mainly Destiny 2, minecraft occsionally, diablo, grounded, i used to do warzone on PC but that was a little intensive

dusky wave
#

At the min the gpu cpu and psu needs to be replaced if u want to play and current gen and future games at a good framerate

wanton zealot
exotic jacinth
#

Yeah probably better off just starting on a fresh build if it’s multiple things that need replacing but up to you

dusky wave
#

Plus majority of new games require an ssd

wanton zealot
#

so a ryzen 5 5600x, rx6500xt, at least a 650w power supply, some 16 or 32 GB of RAM 3600mhz ddr4? i problyu would new a better MOBO for all that, any good suggestions?

dusky wave
#

550 or 570

#

Also mobo depends if u need wifi or not

exotic jacinth
#

6500xt is garbage, not even much better than the RX570. You would want an RTX 3060 at least to last a few years

dusky wave
#

6700xt sounds better

exotic jacinth
#

Usually more expensive but yeah

dusky wave
#

Also look at m.2 ssd recommend either 256 to 1tb versions

#

U could get away with 5600 non x

smoky flame
exotic jacinth
#

Yeah that is a pretty good list of parts to work with. A good place to start.

iron spindle
#

i have a 6500xt with a 5600G its alright I get 1080p 60 in most games

wanton zealot
#

man i wish i was working rn aaahh i just wanna build this PC NOw lmao

iron spindle
#

If you want 120FPS though i would defo not go with a 6500XT

wanton zealot
#

wat would go good with a 120hz monitor or more?

iron spindle
#

yes i said before 6700XT at least

wanton zealot
#

ok i apprecaite the help guys, you are all awesome

#

🙂

smoky flame
#

just take your time when you do get the components. It can be a little stressful but follow the manuals and nothing really should go wrong, I also feel it is very rewarding when it successfully boots into the BIOS for the first time. When I built my first gaming PC back in 2016 I'm pretty sure I shed a few happy tears when I got there 😄 since then only gone from strength to strength with my PC knowledge

wanton zealot
#

yeah i wanna try to be more tech savvy

#

since i like trying to understand how to build computers, at least for gaming lol

exotic jacinth
#

Yeah just watch a how to guide on YouTube. It’s not really that difficult to put everything together

smoky flame
#

one other thing I would like to note. Be sure to have a USB with Windows 11 ready to install and another for any BIOS updates you may need for full support of your CPU. 5600 would require a later BIOS than is likely installed on the motherboard I added to the pcpartpicker link above (and it does note that!)

wanton zealot
#

ahh thats where im stumped, not sure how to do the whole BIOS thing and i didnt have to buy windows 10 for my pc now cause a friend got it for me lol (same guy who helped me build PC)

#

im sure youtube could help

smoky flame
#

well luckily for Windows the key should be linked to your account and I believe a W10 key can be used to upgrade for free to W11. The BIOS though is pretty straight forward. Press F5 to load optimized defaults and then there's only 2-3 things I'd maybe change. DOCP support (that will enable the RAM to run at 3600MHz), disable fast boot* and disable Asus Armoury Crate (that program I found is more hassle than worth)

#
  • optional but have read it can cause problems with certain hardware, hence its inclusion
exotic jacinth
#

Windows license is one key per system but you can upgrade from 10 to 11 for free on the same license

#

Generally new motherboard consists of a new system but sometimes you can get around that

#

With phone activation etc if they ask for it. Otherwise might be out of luck

wanton zealot
#

if there are any other things i should know could you guys DM me when u have a chance, im gunna go for now, but i do really appreciate the help and the knowledge 🙂

searching for a PC case for my brother has been nothing short of a massive headache. So much choice! Trying to find one that is easy to build in (no awkward spaces where cables can only fit through when mobo not installed, for example) that also has good airflow while not costing too much or being too fancy

dusky wave
#

Or at least the g360a case

smoky flame
#

that's no longer available and haven't had the best building experience with it, still considering getting a new one for myself but for now the system is built etc and it works so I'm happy. Only things on my end I may look to change is new case fans (had the ones I run currently for over 6 years) and as mentioned in this message, at the consideration phase of a new case

dusky wave
#

U r right there are so many choices 4 cases lol

#

It took me days to decide on the case

smoky flame
#

the case I have been considering for myself (Fractal Torrent) is still very much up in the air. Seems silly saying it considering what the rest of my system costs but £200 for a case just seems a bit excessive and no matter how many people i ask that have got that case and built in it I can't help but feel the power supply placement is a bit awkward and worry that the case fans at the bottom could cause some problems for cables but otherwise the cable management and airflow seems great

dusky wave
#

Trying to get it around 100?

#

I paid 90 for my case

thinking of stretching to around £150 for my case and if I like what I see may also get it for my brother too. Though he is more in need of a case than I am since I already have one

ok, a system with that kind of spec really shouldn't be running into any performance issues. All drivers up to date?

As far as I am aware, I'm just checking again now. I know my GPU is up to date

smoky flame
#

only thing I have ran into with The Division 2 while running it on DirectX 12 is that it will use a lot of VRAM (where possible) I caught it wanting to use more than 16GB though this is at 4K and maxed settings

plucky marsh
#

I'm getting the poor framerate even on dx11 to be honest, I saw someone on youtube get 150+ on ultra, whereas mine runs on 70 on average on ultra

#

I have to play on low to make sure I get 144+

smoky flame
#

that's pretty odd, same resolution as them?

plucky marsh
#

Yeah 1440p

#

It's not just division 2, I wasn't getting as good performance out of my pc as I thought I should be. When comparing with others online something seems to be wrong with mine.

#

Probably hard to help without physically looking at it so I might just have to take it somewhere

smoky flame
#

hmm are the Intel chipset and firmware updates also done?

plucky marsh
#

Yeah should all be up to date

#

Which is why I think it may be something physical now 😦

smoky flame
#

how are the temperatures of the hardware? mainly the CPU and GPU

exotic jacinth
plucky marsh
smoky flame
#

that definitely seems lower than usual on the GPU end. Under load that would be up to 20c hotter

plucky marsh
#

Let me quickly run D2 with msi afterburner on

#

Yeah sitting on ultra it's about 50c

#

CPU between 30-40

smoky flame
#

hold on, going to run the benchmark on my end and see what MSI Afterburner reports for me. Obviously comparisons may not be possible but curious to see what my system shows. There are a few BIOS related suggestions I might get you to try and see if it changes things any but at the same time it may take a bit of searching for me to find certain settings as I have no experience with MSI hardware

plucky marsh
#

Appreciate you taking the time to help, but don't worry too much if it becomes long 🙂

smoky flame
#

this is the kind of temperatures, usage etc I get (though at 4K) and interesting the CPU usage seems bugged in game but reports correctly on the RTSS overlay

image.png
plucky marsh
#

Oh is there a way to benchmark in game?

smoky flame
#

yeah, it is an option further down from graphics etc

plucky marsh
#

Ah yeah CPU usage is bugged for me too so I'll start it again with afterburner open too

#

Well, mine doesn't say 1%

#

Oh hold on I don't have image perms

smoky flame
#

in my case, the 7950X3D is optimized to only use the CCD with 3D V-Cache, hence why half the cores on my end show 1% on the RTSS overlay. Those cores are effectively parked while the others are doing the heavy lifting. There's a high chance your CPU usage will be similar but you also have E-cores that may or may not affect performance in select games

plucky marsh
smoky flame
#

ah hah! That might have just revealed the culprit to your performance issues. Intel UHD graphics are also active

plucky marsh
#

Oh... shouldn't be. We had this issue when I first got the PC and I just disabled it altogether

#

It is disabled there

smoky flame
#

I'd recommend disabling that which is where the BIOS stuff was mentioned. Might have to go through the settings and look for something that mentions the iGPU and disable that. My limited knowledge on more recent Intel hardware might not be much help there unfortunately 😦

plucky marsh
#

That's ok, thanks. I'll do some poking about now then 🙂 Appreciate your time and help!

smoky flame
#

there is another setting you might also want to look out for while in the BIOS, seems the name for Multicore Enhancement on MSI boards is Turbo Enhanced. and it may show auto or on. Turn that off as it will have the CPU run hotter and have all cores boost past Intel stock. I helped someone else out with a 13900K a couple days back and this tweak dropped their CPU temperature some 30-40c while operating within Intel specs

plucky marsh
#

Oh wow ok thanks I'll check that out too!

#

Turning off integrated graphics from bios didn't do anything unfortunately. Not sure why CPU usage is super low, is that supposed to be the case for this benchmark?

smoky flame
#

oh, that's not good 😦 CPU usage seems bugged. I'd use MSI Afterburner instead

#

this is really confusing me as GPU usage should effectively be up around 100%, as shown on my screenshot above

plucky marsh
#

There's like 20 "CPU Usage" on MSI afterburner but they're all like 30-60%

#

GPU usage in MSI afterburner says around 99%

#

Just in-game it says less

#

The second spike up is where I started the benchmark

#

was alt tabbed out before that which is why it's so low

smoky flame
#

if you want I can try and talk you through how to get an RTSS OSD set up like I have mine so you aren't having to alt + tab all the time to monitor performance

plucky marsh
#

It's ok thanks, I have a second monitor that I have it on which is fine, I was just also alt tabbing to chat here 🙂

smoky flame
#

any other games this is happening in where performance seems lower than expected or has this been somewhat of a stand out title?

plucky marsh
#

Yeah all games unfortunately. I just didn't really realise it at the time just assumed because I was in 1440p I had to run things on low

#

I was coming from a 1070 so I didn't know how good the update would be until I started googling and youtubing other people's benchmarks

smoky flame
#

hmm, how did you install the drivers for the 4070 Ti and is this a fresh install of Windows or existing from the 1070? sorry for so many questions but there might be something worth trying

plucky marsh
#

It's a complete fresh install, was a laptop previously so built this PC myself. Drivers I get from nvidia's geforce experience

smoky flame
#

ahh, the idea I had wouldn't work 😦

#

performance should be leagues above a 1070 mobile GPU for sure so yeah, I think it might be a good idea to send it in to someone that might be able to figure out what's up as I'm not sure there is anything else I can suggest 😦

plucky marsh
#

No worries! Appreciate the help!

smoky flame
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht1eL8Ynkhs obviously not quite the same system as you have but I'd expect not far off this level of performance but check out those temperatures on their CPU 😄 They disable MCE (or brand equivalent setting) and their CPU temperature would drop by some 30-40c and be more reasonable lol

Power limit for some reason on the GPU was set to 30%...

What the?! Lol has that definitely solved it? If so I’m glad you found the issue haha but why 30% power limit? That’s strange. Give some game benchmarks a try just to make sure that fixes it lol

Anyone know why the outer worlds stutters like crazy

I'm running a rx 7900xt and a 5600x with 32gb of 3600mhz ram

However the start of the outer worlds stutters more than when I had the rtx 3060ti

#

Idk why since I have a high end gpu and not a mid tier like the 3060ti

autumn sluice
#

"mid tier"

smoky flame
#

strange how it would be stuttering like crazy on what was (iirc) an AMD featured/optimized title (probably doesn't mean much this tbh but hey, pointing that out anyway). Running it should be a breeze with a GPU that powerful. Only two things I can think of is, CPU is holding you back or didn't this game get some enhanced edition not too long ago? May be there are some underlying performance issues with that version, if you run that. I heard it didn't launch too well, not sure how it is now

Have a ROG STRIX 3090. Gonna plug my LGB9 into the GPU on my PC via HDMI. Is there any setup or configuration I have to do? I heard that if your trying to game on your TV and it’s connected to a GPU through PC, there are some things you should do. Or is it just plug and play?

smoky flame
#

afaik with Nvidia G Sync will be disabled running the GPU over a HDMI connection. As for any setup or configuration, I'm not entirely sure but make sure your TV detects the PC as a PC, it will need that to display 4K 120Hz at 10 bit. There might also be a need to change the scaling options on windows

im really tempted to buy the 8BitDo Ultimate controller at £40 but it doesn't work on Xbox and they will probably update the Xbox version with Hall Effect sticks right after the return period ends lol

What's more annoying is, the Ryzen 3600 is in stock only 4 miles away. But it's coming from Manchester.

I could've picked it up and have it built by now.

might be worth contacting the delivery company to say you've been expecting something and it hasn't arrived. Especially if it is tracked and stuff. You did select next day delivery right?

btw, anyone currently using a Zen 4 (Ryzen 7000 series) desktop CPU might want to look at updating their motherboard's BIOS. Major issue with CPUs as new as the 7800X3D burning up and it doesn't appear to be limited to the X3D CPUs either. Motherboard brands are working on releasing updates right now and so far I know Asus and MSI have released theirs. This is one BIOS update that is likely a must. Users have also been suggested to run without DOCP/EXPO profiles for the time being too

You're brave getting from CEX 😄

simple terrace
#

Never really had an issue and it was either CEX or a sketchy person on eBay. Oh and I get a 2 year warranty with CEX. 😄

#

I might try and pop to a local one tomorrow, grab the one in stock and refund the one that's being posted to me. I'll see. Not in a rush, my nephew's birthday is over now anyway.

exotic jacinth
#

Got a GPU which was DOA from CEX before so wouldn't use them for PC parts again myself although if it's a CPU it's pretty hard to mess up.

#

Hopefully you will get lucky

smoky flame
#

just be sure to inspect the pins before installing it into the motherboard just to be sure none are bent in any way. It's the two things I didn't like about AM4 installation. Pins on the CPU and no bracket or that to secure the CPU into place so removing the cooler at a later time also has the chance to take the CPU with it

exotic jacinth
#

Yeah I suppose that is one extra thing to worry about with AMD CPUs.

#

I've always been on Intel which has had LGA for ages so never had to think much about that.

languid kindle
#

i think sometimes CEX are just lazy and dont test stuff properly. I would probably stick to ebay sellers with a good rating, despite the lack of warranty after the 30 day return period

#

then again i would rather pay £200 new vs £150 used. I only buy used if its a significant discount and looks perfect condition.

Seems reasonable. Min spec is quite generous including GTX660, that card hasn’t had any support for years besides security patches

#

System memory is relatively cheap so for someone with a card like a 3080 or better not really a big problem to upgrade it.
