https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANEOIfkU9qI 7800X3D vs 9700X. AMD claimed the 9700X could match or beat the 7800X3D. This is saying otherwise.
Also, idk what is going on with the constant 88W CPU power. Hopefully just a bug but if not it even loses in efficiency to a CPU that has nearly double the TDP! (65W TDP-88W PPT on the 9700X vs 120W TDP-162W PPT on the 7800X3D)

[devout remnant]

Every game is going to be different but there you go with AMD’s claim.

[cedar smelt]

What exactly were AMD claiming?

Never mind I see now, sorry.

[devout remnant]

See Sub’s post

👍.

[smoky flame]

true though there are clear major losses for the 9700X in Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 that would more than likely wipe out any gain the 9700X might have had over the 7800X3D (at least in these game benchmarks). Would love to see a larger pool of games. Some 20-30 or so with averages to see how things really stack up

[devout remnant]

That will be the case as it’s a non-X3D chip. Overall, it’s mostly on par.

[cinder veldt]

Inb4 AMD just puts out code to make the 9000s faster because "we forget too lol"

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah was watching hardware unboxed video on it, 7800X3D still seems to be a fair bit better for games tested

7700 even doing better than it in some games

[pearl coral]

would the xg27aqdmg at €699 be good? or would the price go down with time??

[smoky flame]

€700 sounds good for what you are getting with that, especially since that is OLED

[pearl coral]

yes, i know. but since the price was significantly higher at launch, which was merely 3 months ago, i was wondering if the price could go down further waiting another bit

[smoky flame]

it could go lower still but might not for a while if this is the lowest price it has been

[pearl coral]

i was also thinking that the price could go up instead. is that a possibility?

[smoky flame]

Not sure on that tbh, probably not

[pearl coral]

oh ok thanks

[last remnant]

I'm honestly still happy with my choice of the R7 7700

[devout remnant]

2060 Super or nothing

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah seems like that should last some time

[last remnant]

Yeah I'm getting it from the school next summer. And for what it's worth, it was not worth cheaping out on the build just for a 7800x3d

how do i set xbox elite 2 controller to take screenshots with a single button?

[wooden sierra]

did forza 5 got a 150gb update? or is it just for me

[latent gate]

if it updates that size then it's overwriting the game's files entirely

[wooden sierra]

idk it's showing 150gb update

anyone else got this?

Hi i got issue after downloading Assasins creed Valhalla. Can somebody help me? after the game download i cant run it and it`s doesnt show in my library and i see this

3 dots

I cant send it here

[dusky wave]

Is this via pc game pass?

[little current]

yeah but i find the issue, i didnt connect ubisoft with xbox, my bad xD

[dusky wave]

Lol

[cinder veldt]

get all the parts to build a pc from old parts to sell
get everything installed and tidy
windows doesn't recognize my m.2
check bios
also doesn't recognize m.2
tinker around and nothing works
uninstall my ssd from my pc
put it in the selling pc
boots to windows no problem
put the ssd from the selling pc in my pc
is recognized and currently installing
Another reason to be made at Asus for being incompetent or just a skill issue

[lament echo]

Is the m.2 the same in both instances

Maybe your board didn't support that M.2

[cinder veldt]

My ssd is crucial and the other is kingston

even after plugging the m2 back in after the fresh install it still didn't work
but after updating the bios(?) its working

im going to reset to see if im just in the one of a lifetime opportunity situations

Looks like reviews for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X are live

[wraith sorrel]

hi i have question

can i emulate xbox on pc without xbox?

like a xbox cloud gaming

because i have a lot of games on xbox account but i sell console

[ruby spear]

You can only play cloud gaming with Game Pass Ultimate and that is a selection of games that are on Game Pass, not your library.

[wraith sorrel]

:c

[raven hull]

Play Anywhere games can be installed and play on the pc.

[smoky flame]

after reading the latest reviews on the dual CCD Zen 5 CPUs it appears the disappointment continues and on top of that AMD appear to be readying a new AGESA update that will increase the TDP of the 9600X and 9700X from 65W up to 105W. That was rather short lived efficiency gains lol

[tender bloom]

Anyone know why games wont finish installing on xbox pc app? They're stuck at 100% and the download stops on "installing." I've deleted/repaired the app several times with no changes.

[latent wren]

quick question anyone here have issues with Xbox pc gamepass? whenever i go to install a game it just says we weren't able to load all options

[dusky wave]

nope

[mint spruce]

does anyone here play GOW1?

[pallid kernel]

can anyone help me please, the xbox app isn't working right now and hasn't been for the last week or so. It started before I upgraded pc parts, and before I got windows 11. I click play game and it says something unexpected happens. I've tried all the steps please help.
EDIT: error code is 0x803f800e

[devout remnant]

It’s all I played when it was out, on Xbox, then PC, but then moved on when Gears 2 came out.

[mint spruce]

so no?

[devout remnant]

Not right now & not anymore, no.

[exotic jacinth]

I sometimes run through the campaign once a year or so

[devout remnant]

Original, PC or UE ?

[exotic jacinth]

Usually rotate between the original and UE on series X.

UE on PC seems to always run bad for me on any system

Gears 1 PC 2007 I have the disc for but don't think I can even get it to work anymore because it's secure rom

[brazen tendon]

Is the "8BitDo Ultimate C Wired Controller for Xbox" a good controller? I don't find a lot of info online

[smoky flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1INvx9ca9M I can't quite wrap my head around this 😅 Ryzen 9000 series sure is weird

Yes

official system requirements for Dragon Age : The Veilguard

[exotic jacinth]

Not so bad

9900K is faster than 3700X though

[cinder veldt]

is dragon age considered triple A?

if so these are pretty tame specs

[smoky flame]

pretty sure it is a triple A game

[exotic jacinth]

Pretty impressive 970 is holding on there

[cinder veldt]

the 970 continues to live

[exotic jacinth]

10 years old next month as well

And still Maxwell gets drivers which is nice

All the way back to 750Ti

[cinder veldt]

besides the 4gb of vram the 970 is still a powerful card all things considered

[exotic jacinth]

I have one in a secondary PC at the moment still

[errant sorrel]

My two previous PC's are now owned by my nephews, one has a 970 the other a 1080, both still work great in many games lol

[smoky flame]

I really don't think it will be too much longer Nvidia will support Maxwell GPUs. Could be before or whenever Nvidia launch Blackwell. AMD killed off both Polaris (RX 400/500/600) and Vega (56/64/7 and APU) last year

[exotic jacinth]

Nvidia is usually better at supporting older GPU's as well which is nice but I don't imagine Maxwell will go on too much longer

[smoky flame]

I could see them dropping support for the remaining GTX GPUs and being RTX only when they do make that change

sure will be sad the day the 1080 Ti becomes legacy GOAT GPU

[exotic jacinth]

Think 10 series will go on a bit longer. They still have a bit of juice on the high end left

My guess would be another 4 or 5 years for 10 series

[smoky flame]

I think it will be much sooner than that. 10 series already been around since 2016 or 2017 so 7-8 years or around that

[exotic jacinth]

Still pumps out the frames though on a 1080Ti or 1080 so still pretty viable for a lot of people still who don't need the best graphics

[willow mortar]

expanding on the screenshots i sent in #screenshots-and-photos, Looks like the latest experimental build of Proton causes some problems in Doom Eternal

going back to proton 9.x fixes it though 👍

[brittle chasm]

anyone know if gamepass palworld can play with steam palworld?

[raven hull]

No. But I haven’t played since the release. They may have updated that by now.

[brittle chasm]

Ohk thanks

[willow flicker]

what pc should i buy with 600€

[raven hull]

That will get you a nice monitor.

[cinder veldt]

As in?

like a prebuilt or building one yourself

[willow mortar]

With that restrained of a budget, you're probably not building any dream PC, but you could certainly buy an older business PC, pop a used GPU in it and have a pretty decent build to start.

That's what my PC is currently lol, ancient HP ProDesk 600 SFF, put the most powerful CPU I could into it (i7-4770), an AMD RX6400 (Since it didn't need any extra power considering the PSU didn't have the cables for it), and maxed the RAM (32GB DDR3)
It's doing the job pretty well, run it connected to two monitors, one of them a 1080p165Hz display, which I run Doom Eternal and a pile of other games on.

[rough escarp]

I Think im gonna buy the r9 270 instead of the rx 560

im gonna spend less money

[dire iris]

what games do u play

[cinder veldt]

id say put an extra 30 bucks torwards the 580

[dire iris]

yeah its worth it since th r9 270 has a lower performance doesnt it

[rough escarp]

fh4 and fh4 and fh5

[rough escarp]

im broke and i have to buy a new psu

i cant buy a rx 580 with no psu

[candid citrus]

I mean yeah at this point though, it's ultra budget you can get them for as low as 25 bucks nowadays

slightly more investment can get you better performance

[rough escarp]

Wassup guys i changed my mind

which should i get RX 590 GME ( + 16 GB Ram ) or RX 5500 XT (no extra just my ordinary 8GB ram)

MY CPU is intel i5 11400

i wouldnt upgrade my cpu bc i just need a gpu a cpu good upgrade is so expensive

ping me guys if u have chose what should i choose

[rough escarp]

its this one btw

[exotic jacinth]

Depends what games you want to play, anything in the past 5 years 16GB is pretty much bare minimum

Unless you need something now I would just save up until you could get something like a 3060 and then 16GB system memory

[rough escarp]

Idk man i hqve budget limit

[exotic jacinth]

Out of those options the 590 and 16GB is better

[rough escarp]

Than a single rx 5500 xt?

Well if it cones from u well aight thanks

[exotic jacinth]

5500xt is a newer architecture so probably would do better in some games but 16GB I’d rather have

[cinder veldt]

I can actually attest for the 5500xt as that was my first card but its a pretty decent card that can play most games at high or ultra while in triple A its medium to high

but also where do you see the rx 590 gme having 16 gigs?

i would say the 5500xt tho, although the 590 can out preform it i say its because of the 45 watt difference. 5500xt is also newer so i say that

[odd helm]

What spec you all got

Im thinking of getting ryzen 5 7600+ rx6750xt combo

[exotic jacinth]

i9 10900K and 3080Ti with 32GB system memory

[rough escarp]

the 16 gigs is the ram

[dusky wave]

amd 5600 non x with rx 6800xt and 32 gigs of ddr4 RAM

[cinder veldt]

oooh

mb

[cinder veldt]

5700x3d
rx 6600
32 gigs of ddr4, 3200mt

[odd helm]

1440p?

[rough escarp]

wuddahell

they made the 8x2GB ram more expensive

[rough escarp]

it became 800p to 1.6k pesos

[smoky flame]

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 32GB DDR5 that I currently have running at 5200 MT/s CL40 (Ryzen 7000's top RAM speed without any overclocking applied)

[dusky wave]

4k screen

[odd helm]

Nice budget builds

😭😭

For a budget of 1k ryzen 5 7600 and rx 6750xt should be enough for me

Unless i go for a lower end gpu

[twilit verge]

I personally have an asus tuf laptop with i5 12th gen, rtx 3050 and 16 gb of ram

and i also wanna get an console but xbox ain t here so imma also probably get a playstation

[devout remnant]

[elder brook]

ryzen 7 7700 + rtx 4070 s

[odd helm]

What mobo do you use

[dusky wave]

I would save up til black friday to see if any parts drop in price

[odd helm]

Its this week?

Nevermind its in months

I need a pc before September

I got stuff to do

[dusky wave]

Oh

[dusky wave]

Well u could play games on ur pc specs 1080/1440p native for majority of the titles give or take

[odd helm]

When is black friday again

[dusky wave]

End of november

I recommend at least 32 gigs of ram

[odd helm]

Yup dont think i can get it that time

[odd helm]

Definitely

[dusky wave]

Is this for gaming or production work?

[odd helm]

Both

[dusky wave]

Nividia gpus does better than amd in production with their cuda cores

[odd helm]

Im saving money

So i want amd

[dusky wave]

Then it should be fine though at lower perf for production. I only use pc for gaming

[exotic jacinth]

Used 3080 would be another decent alternative if found at a similar price

if you need any Nvidia features

[solemn grail]

I would like to ask which adapter is the best? I'm using an Xbox controllerI'm a PC gamer

[raven hull]

The official adapter

[exotic jacinth]

Official adapter can be hard to come by but is the best solution

[odd helm]

I wont get used parts ngl

Or get components from amazon

I would want a pc which is good for work/gaming and would last years

If i was going for ryzen 5 7600 and rx 6750xt

I could upgrade the cpu in a year or so

[solemn grail]

Is it this product Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10
Is there any adapter that is better or has lower latency than this official adapter?

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah that's the one you want. Only other option is bluetooth which is pretty hit or miss

[solemn grail]

Do you think the Brook Wingman XB 3 Converter is better than the official xbox adapter?

[exotic jacinth]

Not sure what that is but I would recommend just getting the official adapter

[solemn grail]

ok thank you

[dusky wave]

I rather play it wired to pc especially in competitive games. Even with the adapter will have input lag in those game

I was lucky to get the official adapter for xbox on pc. Though i use it for my headset lol

[solemn grail]

lol

[exotic jacinth]

I don't really notice any difference but I'm not really a super competitive gamer anymore, just play casually most of the time

[dusky wave]

Me either. But chances are the adapter will have some input lag not really noticeable for casual gamers

i got banned from the pc server

btw only thing i will upgrage is the cpu

[raven hull]

Any reason you want 4x 8GB RAM instead of 2x 16GB? 2x16 will cost you less.

[balmy jungle]

cuz im tradeing my black rams for white ones

[dusky wave]

More modern games u need 16gb ram min. Better more ram than not enough. Im running 32gb ram

[balmy jungle]

yeah thats what im doing

4 sticks of 8

[odd helm]

Ryzen 5 7600 + rx 6750XT for 1440p mainly for general tasks+ etc and sometimes gaming

Would the combo be perfect

[balmy jungle]

i wont go with amd

[odd helm]

Saving money and future proofing

Especially amd5 boards

Dont you need a new motherboard for every 2 generations for intel

[balmy jungle]

in my country you rarely find amd

[balmy jungle]

just update the bios

[odd helm]

UAE?

Europe AMD is probably popular

[balmy jungle]

yeah

[odd helm]

Al ain centres have amd chips and gpus dont they

[balmy jungle]

and every shop i go to they say dont buy amd

[odd helm]

But tbf

[balmy jungle]

i was gonna buy amd at the start

[odd helm]

Its a American brand

[odd helm]

i just want amd for future proofing

So that i can upgrade my cpu in years time

[balmy jungle]

i wont only game in the future

and intel builds costed me way cheeper

[smoky flame]

that will only take you so far on Intel. Newer CPUs on older motherboards may lack features that newer boards for a specific CPU that may be supported through a BIOS update has

future proofing is impossible on PC

[balmy jungle]

how much years will i use the pc without upgrading anything?

5 years?

i dont mind playing on low settings in the next 5 years

cuz rn i have a gtx 1650 super

[dusky wave]

Did intel fix the vulnerabilities of their 13th and 14th gen cpus yet?

[forest oracle]

What is a good pc for 10k?

[pure laurel]

10k isn't a budget. Just buy whatever you want.

[forest oracle]

What's a good pc do

[lusty summit]

Work

[pure laurel]

That all depends on what you're wanting to do.

[forest oracle]

Fortnite

And every game possible

[lusty summit]

Good PC go "beep boop", Bad PC go "Bweeooo, zoop!"

[mellow lintel]

For how long? Lol

[forest oracle]

Idk

[forest oracle]

Prob 10+ years

[mellow lintel]

Not a chance lol

Like. Sure it would run

But there is no way to account for needs that far ahead with the tech we currently have

Imo 5-7 years is reasonable before you need to think to upgrade parts

[exotic jacinth]

Won’t need 10K for a gaming PC. Best setup at the moment would be 7800X 3D and a 4090 paired with 32 or 64GB memory.

[forest oracle]

Uh

Nuh uh

I need some thing better

[mellow lintel]

For 10k you can hire someone to build one for you lol

[cinder veldt]

Tech is constantly depreciating by the day
you can't just buy something and assume itll last 10+ years
unless thats a gtx 1080ti

Because it still adapts to this day

[mellow lintel]

Things might still work yeah . But it won't be top settings

That's just things go

[cinder veldt]

I mean the 4090 is literally being brought to its knees with the wukong game
claim unoptimization but the gpu that can brute force through unoptimization isnt doing it anymore

in some screenshots i saw the 4080 was managing a 17 fps in 1% lows

[mighty frost]

Cries in 3060 ti

[cinder veldt]

at 1080p ultra you can expect 30 fps

[mighty frost]

On what game lol

[cinder veldt]

Wukong

[mighty frost]

I can only play 1080 p anyways lol

[forest oracle]

Guys what's the max fps for fortnite

[dusky wave]

i would say what ever ur pc specs and monitor could support

[forest oracle]

What's the best build for a pc

[forest oracle]

@dusky wave what's the best pc?

[dusky wave]

i cant say cause the best pc cost a lot of money especially if u build it urself. plus ur pc build depends on what games u playing what u gonna use the pc for gaming/production and ur budget

[forest oracle]

Is 20k-40k good enough because I made 40k last year from working and all of that

[dusky wave]

i built a 4k gaming pc not the best but cost me around 1600-1700 usd though it was late 2022/2023.

yeah best gaming cpu on the market is the 7800x3d

best gpu is the 4090

[forest oracle]

Oh k

I want a pc like this wait can u send pics here?

[dusky wave]

only if u have explorer role

[forest oracle]

Oh can I just send it to you and we can chat there?

I sent u a friend requeat

if u want the best pc not counting monitor/tv spending 3-5k sounds about right

My Next Monitor !

Been waiting for this for a while, glad it’s finally out and look forward to their review ☺️🫶🏻

[latent gate]

1440p though

I guess it’s better than all of the 1080p panels that ultra high refresh rate panels would use

[devout remnant]

Perfect for 26.5” monitor.

As a competitive MP player, I would not go 4K over 1440p when such a high Refresh is available as well as having to go for a bigger screen due to windows scaling and/or to appreciate the full benefits of 4K.

Those single player experiences are had on the 77” OLED which can do 4K 120Hz with Dolby Vision & Dolby ATMOS 😄

However I agree, I could never do 1080p, I did it once when the 360Hz monitors first launched but I swapped it instantly when the 1440p versions came out. I’ve been on 1440p since 2007 !

[errant sorrel]

Running 1440p@240hz 27inch here and honestly its the perfect balance

[latent gate]

1440p has too many software conflicts

also is crap for more upper-end creative work

[smoky flame]

hearing stuff like that is what pushed me onto a 4K screen too soon - saying that though. Still not a fan of games requiring the use of at least upscaling technologies like DLSS, XeSS or FSR just to maintain a stable 60 FPS why do we need that now? seriously and then there is frame generation... name of it says what it does but seriously? generating fake frames just to make FPS look better than it is natively? PC gaming is going backwards, not forwards. Ray tracing might as well not exist until we have hardware actually capable of running games that can play them without the use of these coping technologies. Everything was fine with rasterization performance up until RTX came along

[latent gate]

because as detail increases so does requirements.

if games looked exactly as they did in 2015 it wouldn't be an issue

but there was a major rendering renaissance post-2017

[smoky flame]

even as time goes by rendering would improve but with it so did the new GPUs that often weren't too far behind. I still remember when I switched from a 980 Ti to a 1080 Ti. Thought it might not have been that much of an improvement at first and before installation I was having buyers remorse (lol) about it but after it was installed and the GPU driver was up to date there was a big difference. At the time Watch Dogs 2 was quite difficult to run but it made that much easier. I still think rasterization should be primary for gaming while those that want a taste of the bleeding edge can have ray tracing as an option but otherwise optional as it is just too heavy hitting to make it viable on most hardware. Even a $1500+ GPU can be brought down with it, until you apply stuff like upscaling and frame generation.

[latent gate]

you must be new to this lol

gpu have always been behind the curve of rendering tech

that's why we get GPU that come out later that support rendering tech now

it was like an entire year after DX12U was announced that we had GPU that fully supported it out the box

and that's API level stuff

[smoky flame]

not new to this just maybe my observation or wording is wrong

[latent gate]

it took like 3 years before crysis 1 could reliably be ran at good performance levels

among bad cpu utilization, crysis 1 also introduced ambient occlusion

[dusky wave]

Everyone knows larry. But knowing larry personally thats another story lol

[pure laurel]

@elder brook Do not ask for codes. #rules

[cinder veldt]

i blame UE5

but i get what you mean, we shouldnt need the use of Frame Gen and Upscaling to make games run at a decent framerate

[dusky wave]

Agreed

[cinder veldt]

As for raytracing/pathtracing if run natively in game unless if you have a higher end nvidia product you wouldnt see past 30 fps

I don't even want to talk about amds RTX preformance

Like unless you upscale, put FSR2 on preformance, and enable Fake Motion Frames maybe you can see past 60 but as we wait for FMF2 the input lag is diabolical

in other news, Wukong Nvidia cards

Oh

7600x3d

Thanks AMD

[dusky wave]

How bad?

[cinder veldt]

Mainly 4070s

some of them look cool but MSIs looks boring

[cinder veldt]

unless if you were talking about this

[dusky wave]

I mostly use upscale to hit 60fps. I usually leave rt off with the exception of cyberpunk

[smoky flame]

https://www.techpowerup.com/325829/amd-works-with-microsoft-to-improve-zen-3-thru-zen-5-performance-in-windows-11-24h2 so Windows 11 was holding back Ryzen performance? Finally a reason to upgrade to the new version as I've heard so much negative stuff about 24H2 to the point I started exploring Linux as an alternative but at this time it just wouldn't be completely viable to switch, though it is pretty fun messing around with

[barren dagger]

Does anyone have Hall Efect analogs ?

[exotic jacinth]

Yeah I’ll be staying on 10 until end of next year unless they extend.

Seems like constant issues with 11 ever since it came out

[cinder veldt]

gee whiz i hope they arent planning anything too crazy!

removing control panel
oh

[dusky wave]

Its why im staying with 10

[cinder veldt]

Im staying with 10 untill 2032 and only then will i switch to Windows 11 lot LTSC

[dusky wave]

Is 11 have worse prrf over 10 in games?

[exotic jacinth]

about the same generally

[lyric atlas]

guys im having issues that the download speed is very very low on xbox launcher pc
do anyone know how to fix

[cinder veldt]

hardware unboxed did a video about that

but typically speaking it was windows 10 that was faster but only by like 1%

except for cyberpunk on the 7800x3d and a plague tale requiem where you got 10 more fps

[exotic jacinth]

the few games that actually use direct storage might do a bit better on 11

[smoky flame]

there was a claim that the upcoming 24H2 could be as bad or worse than Windows 8. I didn't have a PC around the time that OS was a thing but considering its short lifespan I guess it really didn't work out?

[dusky wave]

Question is does direct storage have a better perf vs non direct storage games

[smoky flame]

I don't think DIrectStorage really affects performance so much but rather having the right type of storage to run the games on to begin with

[exotic jacinth]

Is interesting that W10 is still at around 69% of all windows users according to stats counter. Wonder how much that will change by the end of next year

[smoky flame]

I think we'll only really see a shift in users opting for Windows 11 after Windows 10 support is dropped and it likely won't be right away but November onwards it will gather momentum seeing as not everyone likes to be left behind when it comes to software support and generally that is a bad idea if you are concerned about security as it could be post dropping of Windows 10 support other companies no longer decide to offer major updates for those on Windows 10 so they too could have little to no choice but to switch to Windows 11 or some other alternative

[full flint]

They will shutdown windows 10 if it stays that way just you wait

[dusky wave]

I will wait til they stop providing support for windows 10

[smoky flame]

you are already limited to only security updates as it is. When that time comes for an operating system that is usually when I jump on to the new thing or look at an alternative as I like new features

[exotic jacinth]

I'll wait until October next year and see what options there are then

We already know there will be 3 extra years paid support so that's an option

[smoky flame]

paid support? what you paying for though? not like you'll see any new features and iirc that price goes up quite a bit with each additional year required. Windows 10 to me was dead the moment Microsoft stopped feature updates for it

[exotic jacinth]

More the stability and legacy features if you need them

Same thing with 7 it was rock solid while all the issues with 10 were ongoing

[dusky wave]

I didnt activate windows ever

[devout remnant]

Been on Windows 11 since launch and no real issues but can understand if any issues

[thick skiff]

what’s a good price range for a good pc

[dusky wave]

Depends on what u considered good and u building urself or prebuilt

[thick skiff]

i am not risking building

[cinder veldt]

It really just depends

what do you look for?
Do you prefer ultra fidelity features like raytracing or do you prefer more preformance

[thick skiff]

performance

i wanna play games without a problem

[cinder veldt]

Alr

750 sounds good for that

[thick skiff]

i found one but idk if it’s good

and i can’t send it here

[cinder veldt]

750 usd

you can send it here it just wont embed

[thick skiff]

i don’t have perms

[cinder veldt]

ah

just dm it to me then

[thick skiff]

there

[stark iris]

YEAH

PC GAMING BABY

[versed hill]

It's security updates

[versed hill]

I think DirectStorage is more of loading times

It is easier to just go to windows 11. Extended support is more for companies with old pcs, which cant run the new os

Just stop whining, I never had an issue with windows 11

[pure laurel]

You not having an issue with something doesn't mean nobody will have an issue with that same something.

[rough escarp]

yo guys i just found a 16gigs ram pc w/ uhh literally a rx 550 and a Intel Xeon E5-2689 8 Cores 16 Threads with 512gb ssd for 265 dollars

is it worth it?

with a 1080p monitor btw 75hz

[willow mortar]

I mean you can buy worse things for $250
There're chromeboxes at that price point with bottom tier specs so yeah I mean if you could have a use for the machine absolutely go for it

Performance-wise it's certainly decent for only $265

[rough escarp]

oooh alr

[smoky flame]

I'm not sure where you are going with that but security updates only offer security patches and to stay on Windows 10 past October 2025 Microsoft expects users to pay to be able to do so and that cost doubles each year. I could see the use in it for small businesses where they don't want to jump to the next version of Windows seeing as Windows 10 should be stable at this point but on a per user basis (which Microsoft is now allowing too) it will be much cheaper just to ditch Windows 10 and go Windows 11 as I believe after 3 years the cost totals $427 (per device)

https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/microsoft-reveals-subscription-pricing-for-using-windows-10-beyond-2025-and-its-not-cheap the article that hopefully backs me up on this unless it was changed again since

[cinder veldt]

should mention this is only for pro and home editions

but also what does keeping you "secure" really mean

like are they just not going to update windows defender? or are they going to disable your firewall?

[cedar smelt]

It means if there's an RCE or something like that, maybe it won't get patched.

Lets also not forget that eventually Steam will kill support for the older OS. Windows 7 is in that boat.

[willow mortar]

I still think it's funny how when Windows 10 came out it was called the "last version of Windows"
then Windows 11 appears

[cedar smelt]

That was never official communication I believe.

[brazen temple]

I need help when I go to game bar and gaming features all the text to speech options and stuff is all gone where can I find all of this?

[cinder veldt]

the cope people use is it was someone in Microsoft but they were essentially a "Hypeman"

Also i don't think steam would kill windows 10 untill there is a clear difference in users

[cinder veldt]

wait

they had a state of play

[dusky wave]

this vid is from 2 months ago

[cinder veldt]

oh

[cedar smelt]

Do you think that means that at this point Windows 7 has already lost most of the gaming users it had?

[dusky wave]

well steam made it in the beginning of the year that all games from steam have to use windows 10

[cedar smelt]

Yes. I know. Mr. Featherbolt said he doesn't think they'd do the same for Windows 10 until there's a clear difference in users. I'm asking if he thinks that clear difference in users existed between Windows 7 and Windows 10, before Steam took that step.

[cinder veldt]

Yes by the time steam cut that rope that sent windows 7 into the abyss there was less then 1.25% of people on 7 (using steam), sure its maybe around a million people or so but that doesnt change the fact that they don't have to support what is a dead platform. I do not believe when the 2025 comes around people will switch to windows 11 because people are stubborn. I also think steam won't cut support until there is that clear gap of users between platforms. And as it stands right now windows 10 still far out leads 11, of course it 10 will be surpassed by 11 but by then a new Windows OS would probably have already come out.

[cedar smelt]

Thank you, that's good info that I didn't already have.

Maybe the next Windows will be the good one.

[cinder veldt]

i hope the AI meme dies out by then

"B-but copilot will be revolutionary" some may say but besides being a bundled Chatgbt with a new name co pilot is just cortana but you can't disable it

[cedar smelt]

One may hope. I've seen plenty of reports saying that AI is creating problems and not solving them, but executives can be stubborn.

[cinder veldt]

AI just isn't making money right now

If a game is play-anywhere simply sign into the Xbox app on pc and you should see it in your library

Those are the only titles that let you do such with. Other titles will be separate purchases if they are on both console and PC and are not play-anywhere.

[devout remnant]

It will blow your mind when you try it

[smoky flame]

blew my mind how AMD managed to somehow launch a successor CPU that was virtually identical to its predecessor only for reviewers to find the gains like idk if I can trust AMD as much as I thought I used to be able to. Something is going on RDNA 3 was the start of it, Zen 5 another stumble on the road. RDNA 4 can't be too far away, how is that going to launch?

If you connect your steam to your xbox account, can you get achievements from games that are on both platforms?

hi

i found a GTX 1650 4GB on my store for 163 dollars

and a RTX 3050 6GB for 222 dollars

is it worth it bc my country rarely has GPU for sale on store bought
online shopping is little risky it might be dmged smth

or shoul i go to amazon

[cinder veldt]

the 1650 on release was 149 dollars so you would be spending 10% more

and the msrp for the 3050 6gig was 179

So unless if its worse on amazon dont buy those used

but if you have to i guess the 3050

[rough escarp]

oH my country store basically scammin me 💀

imma find smth on amazon instead

[cinder veldt]

yeah dont get me wrong they arent horrible cards but not worth it at that price point

[rough escarp]

aight ty bro

[worn swallow]

I’m getting so weary of Xbox and drama and them not getting games and not knowing if Microsoft is going to ditch Xbox hardware and not knowing if I’m gonna lose my gaming library when that happens.

Just make me think I should go back to Steam PC gaming

[sullen trellis]

Xbox ain't going anywhere. Don't let trends on social media take over your own judgement. Xbox player numbers are rising, games are selling well.
They keep growing and earning more every year, it's not the opposite despite what some people online say. It's just haters like usual.

[ruby spear]

Xbox have already said they're working on the next gen console which is the biggest tech leap in consoles yet.

If you pay attention to the gaming news from actual sources instead of random YouTubers and TikTok or Twitter, most of your questions and concerns would be answered.

[sullen trellis]

And I don't think they can just take away your games, there's laws in the global market preventing this.
Same reason stuff like the Wii Shop Channel is still operating, even though Nintendo wanted to shut it down. You can still redownload your already purchased Wii games.
A giant company like that would have to go entirely bankrupt in order to be allowed to cease services. Google chose to shut down Stadia but refunded every purchase ever made.
The big digital storefronts are all relatively safe.

[worn swallow]

I know they’re making another game system what I’m concerned is what happens after that.

[mellow lintel]

you dont own your games these days

[worn swallow]

😭

There are games I own on Xbox. That don’t have an Xbox PC version. So I’m worried if they kill off the hardware, I lose those games.

[ruby spear]

Then you keep the console that can run them and you lose nothing.

But this channel is for discussing PC gaming, not the future of console hardware.

[worn swallow]

So what kind of PC do you have?

[ruby spear]

i9-13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 RAM

[worn swallow]

I’m going back-and-forth on buying a prebuilt or building one

[mellow lintel]

any reason why?

[worn swallow]

I built a PC back in 2016 and I don’twish to repeat that experience lol

[mellow lintel]

lol i feel that 😂

can you just upgrade parts?

[ruby spear]

I needed a full system and it's been too long since I built one and dealt with the stress of it, so I wasn't in the mood for that. It's been too long and too many things have changed.

[worn swallow]

I only have an M1 iMac right now

[mellow lintel]

i need to fix/add some things to mine and i just dont have the energy to do it

i'll probably end up buying the parts and then bribing a friend with cookies to do it for me

[worn swallow]

I spent $5000 on a Alienware area 51 PC and 2018 . But got back in console gaming in 2021.

Now I’m thinking about going back to PC

[mellow lintel]

like, if you have the money and dont want to build it yourself. i'd find a good company to build one for you

if not, go with a decent prebuilt and call it good enough

[worn swallow]

I got a pretty decent prebuilt PC at the start of this year with all the Xbox drama going on. But for some reason half of my VR games on Steam wouldn’t work. And when I would play path of Titans, no matter what settings I did I would have thread ripping near the bottom of the screen.

So I got my money back and returned it

[ruby spear]

It's a good card, but would be a downgrade for me.

[cinder veldt]

ah, 4080 or 4090? or amd equivalent?

[ruby spear]

4090

[cinder veldt]

i see

shame they don't sell the prints for the design on the front

[smoky flame]

oxidizing CPUs shouldn't be an issue now but the issue around getting one without stability issues could still be a thing. At this point it is recommended to update the BIOS to the latest version to minimize the risks but it won't outright fix them and if already affected best get ready to RMA your processor

7800X3D + 4090 would be the ultimate gaming machine (currently)

[cinder veldt]

if the company is competent (i hope so) they usually take the time to update bios and chipset

Because updating bios can be scary

[smoky flame]

not all of them will though so that is something users may have to keep in mind - though off the back of the mess Intel got themselves in that took arms and legs I wouldn't be at all surprised that they do upgrade the BIOS versions for their own built computers but buying separate components to build the system yourself there may be no support for that

[devout remnant]

Currently yes

But not forever

[smoky flame]

really shouldn't be that scary. Just have a USB on hand, find your motherboard, go into the support part of the site for your motherboard, find BIOS and look for the latest non beta version available. Download, extract, copy over to the USB and reboot then finally find where it allows you to update the BIOS within your motherboard and install the update while making sure not to turn off the PC at any time. That kind of oversimplifies it but for the most part that is how it is done. Obviously people doing it themselves best follow the instructions that should be given by their motherboard manufacturer while they search for the BIOS updates and nothing should go wrong

[cinder veldt]

i mean i do update my bios

Its just "oh when bad moment and my motherboard is bricked"

[dusky wave]

I dont update my bios since i built my pc a few years back

[cinder veldt]

Also i went out of my way to update bios and chipset this time around so i don't get super hacked

[smoky flame]

most suggest not to as it is often a case of the saying "why fix what isn't broken?" but I still update as soon as a new version is available as I just prefer to keep up to date. Some BIOS updates do provide important microcode and vulnerability patches that I'd say are a must to install but that is up to the user

[eternal wind]

Come to think of it, since I bought Forza Motorsport and Dirt 5 on Xbox Series S, I also have access to their PC versions. Then again, I should make some space on my laptop before I try installing those two games.

[short lily]

If I download a game from the Microsoft Store using a Microsoft account other than the one from which it was purchased, will I be banned?

[ruby spear]

Do you own both accounts?

[short lily]

I have games on both accounts but I have Forza Horizon 5 on only one account and it takes a long time to download so I changed the Microsoft account and Forza was still downloading

[dusty vector]

How are you downloading it from an account other than the one from which it was purchased?

I didn't think it gave you that option otherwise

[short lily]

I don't know, I think it's a Microsoft problem.

But when I changed the account it allowed me to download.

Technical support did not help me

[ruby spear]

Are you downloading it via the mobile app?

Actually, never mind. If both accounts are yours and you have them both on the same console, then you can download the games from the store. You're sharing your account licence to the other account. That's perfectly fine if you personally own both accounts, or another person in the same home owns one.

[short lily]

Xbox store on pc

[ruby spear]

Ah, PC is a different matter. I also realised this was the PC channel.

[short lily]

Yeah I have a problem and I don't know why, even how it downloads

I tried to contact technical support more than once, and I also deleted the application and downloaded it again.

[short lily]

Guys will I get banned for doing this?

[hearty cove]

can i download a game from gamejolt for example Undertale yellow and put on a usb and play it on my Xbox one?

[cinder veldt]

no

also >gamejolt
thats still alive?

[hearty cove]

yes

[cinder veldt]

i thought that got abandoned years ago and replaced with itch

[hearty cove]

gamejolt is pretty much fangames now

[cinder veldt]

ah

Its just been a long time since

quick question why does my xbox controller have weaker vibration?im on pc playing thru a usb connection

help

[dusky wave]

Anyone who played sw outlaws on pc try to see if 21:9 vs fill mode perf difference. I got more perf in 21:9 than fill mode in display settings

[smoky flame]

some tech wizardry or something going on there as I would have thought 21:9 worked out more demanding, especially if it takes the resolution information and then scales it to a 21:9 equivalent (pretty sure 4K 21:9 would be 5120x2160) but that doesn't appear to be the case if you are seeing more performance from 21:9 than fill mode which must mean there is some internal upscaling happening and the 21:9 resolution is something more standard like 3440x1440. Something similar happens when you run Hellblade 2 fullscreen instead of the original 21:9 aspect ratio too (only unlike Outlaws you need to modify some game files to get fill screen to work on Hellblade 2)

[dusky wave]

I was getting high 50s on fsr3 quality mode no frame gen with graphics set to medium on fill mode. On 21:9 i could get 70fps on ultra quality

[cinder veldt]

the outlaw fears the widescreen
many such cases

[dusky wave]

I dont think i have a widescreen monitor

[smoky flame]

16:9 can/used to be called widescreen but 21:9 is ultrawide, there is also 32:9 that is considered to be super ultrawide

[dusky wave]

I got a m28u

[smoky flame]

that's a 16:9 monitor

[dusky wave]

But it makes no sense why 21:9 have like 20or so fps better fps than fill mode

[smoky flame]

as I said, there must be some scaling going on but it doesn't make much sense to me either as you can select your resolution (in our cases 4K, 3840x2160) but yet that isn't standard for 21:9 so it must automatically scale down to something 21:9 uses hence the improved performance until fill screen is used because then that would be making full use of your screen's resolution otherwise I have no clue haha

[dusky wave]

I will play it on 21:9 for better perf. Can nearly max it without frame gen including rt stuff

[smoky flame]

I'm just going to wait for the day one patch to release and start over as recommended before I get into the game

[dusky wave]

Yeah. I want to see what they have in the store cosmetics. Really wish a helmet cosmetic is a thing. Wish i could turn kay wearing full mando armor including helmet

[exotic jacinth]

I’ll probably pick it up down the line once they have sorted the bugs and goes on sale a bit

[timid wing]

I bring with me, the next revolution in gaming

[dusky wave]

Huh?

[timid wing]

it will come

[dusky wave]

What will

[timid wing]

the next revolution in gaming

[smoky flame]

think I might give Star Wars Outlaws another quick try since AMD managed to finally release their latest driver and it has support for it plus some other games. Not expecting any change tbh but you never know with these day one game driver updates

[dusky wave]

Will try it too once i get home and update driver

[dusky wave]

The driver give support for ff16, sw outlaws bo6 beta but no gow ragnarok which releases a couple of days after ff16

[dire roost]

Hello everyone. I have a question. How do I make Call of Duty appear on my activity here on Discord? I Play via Xbox PC Game Pass

[blissful carbon]

Got this tower given to me. It has some sawdust in/around it, but it is a workable case for my intended use

[willow mortar]

give that poor thing a clean before doing literally anything, I beg of you

[blissful carbon]

I am absolutely going to.

I am basically rescuing this tower from neglect

[cinder veldt]

wake up amd drivers dropped

[lavish aspen]

Idk why but it reminds me of halo lol

[smoky flame]

Damn, AnandTech are closing up. Just posted a farewell article 😦

https://www.anandtech.com/show/21542/end-of-the-road-an-anandtech-farewell

[dusky wave]

Who r they?

Did u see any improvement when using the new outlaws amd driver support? I didnt

[smoky flame]

nope, didn't see any changes with the latest driver though I did notice Denuvo got added I think (to the game) in a quiet patch yesterday and the latest patch to the game didn't change much

think I'll uninstall and revisit Star Wars Outlaws another time

[dusky wave]

I managed 70 to 80fps on fsr3 no frame gen set to quality mode and graphics set to high not bad

[cinder veldt]

Denuvo
telling sign, is the game any good?

[dusky wave]

Yeah i enjoyed it

I wont play it for a few weeks with bo6 beta out over the next week or two

I want to get all the beta rewards especially that weapon blueprint

[smoky flame]

from what I played of it I can't really say of it. I didn't get very far but I think the whole ray tracing being a requirement has been playing on me since it released (same applies to Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora). Performance just isn't good enough, even one something as powerful as a 7900 XTX and I'm just not wanting to enable features that I feel devs are leaning on far too much now to cover up poor in game performance. Upscaling I have come to accept to some level but frame generation? I think there should be a note any time it is used in performance figures that it isn't real FPS you are seeing but an increase of 2-4x that gives the look of improved performance when in reality it isn't and on top of that input latency is worse too. If I'm spending $1000+ on a GPU I don't want games to be relying on frame generation just to make it look good on the FPS side. I can see right through it.
Sorry for becoming all ranty about this, just a bit pissed off is all

[cinder veldt]

raytracing is a requirement
i know all i need to know

[smoky flame]

yeah, there is no way to turn it off. It is baked into the game

I'd be curious to know how much worse off both Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws would have looked had ray tracing been optional (like it has been on most games, besides some tech demos) because Snowdrop, the same game engine that The Division and XDefiant look pretty decent without ray tracing plus you get way more performance on those games - Obviously I know one is much older and the other is a competitive FPS game but surely the other two games I mentioned wouldn't look that bad

[cinder veldt]

im sure its the most standerd Ubisoft game to ever game but i'd prefer to enable raytracing if i really want it

Like if i want raytracing (rarely never ever) i just throw on my reshade rt

[smoky flame]

yeah, being on AMD hardware where ray tracing performance isn't great to start with I actively avoid it where I can. Though I might occasionally check it out like I did in the past with say Cyberpunk 2077, at least it can be toggled on/off and oh boy! after seeing the performance hit ray tracing dishes out even on that game it wasn't long before I had it off again 😄

[cinder veldt]

im hoping rdna 4 would fix that issue

because im still on the boat raytracing should be option and devs should just do lighting better but being able to have that option to have le cool shadows and lighting without being able to count frames would be cool

[smoky flame]

until hardware is powerful enough to run ray tracing without requiring both upscaling and frame generation to help it along I'd say it should remain optional, a toggleable setting that gamers should have the option to turn on or off as they please

just the same way that people used to say ultra/maxed settings were for screenshots only, the same thing applies to ray tracing as far as I'm concerned. Only it is even more demanding than ultra settings

[dusky wave]

Totally agree that rt should be an option turned on and off at users preference not something baked into the game as always on

I rather get high fps over rt in all but a few games that use rt nicely like cyberpunk

[cinder veldt]

you mean the 1 out of every other game that was genuinely optimized for raytracing rather thrown on? yeah they did pretty good in that regard

[smoky flame]

yeah, I can use Cyberpunk as an example. At ultra settings and 4K (no upscaling or frame generation active, AMD still isn't supported on the latter) I would get between 60-70 FPS. Enable all the ray tracing stuff and that FPS drops to around 15-25 FPS. There are some games where the drop off in performance between the highest non ray tracing settings and ray tracing is even worse and I wouldn't be at all surprised if that even 1080p ultra vs ray tracing you see a drop of about two thirds

[dusky wave]

Not every game use rt nicely or worth the perrf drop

[glossy owl]

What wireless mouse should I get for my PC?

[cinder veldt]

Razer Viper V3 Pro

[errant sorrel]

Cant go wrong with Logitech G502, (or G502 X), had the G502 for many years, its amazing.

[devout remnant]

Ray Tracing is where Nvidia has a big advantage over AMD.

Almost Double the FPS.

@patent hound https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wX3qcH this is my list, from me to you

[patent hound]

Thank you, I will take a look 🙂

[cinder veldt]

I left out peripherals because that's not up for me to decide

i might go out and edit some parts because i just realized i put a white AIO on what is a black based pc

[patent hound]

Appreciate it

[cinder veldt]

no problem

[smoky flame]

only things I can nitpick about the build is the RAM and CPU cooler.
RAM is much too fast for Ryzen and will end up running 2:1 which isn't ideal. AMD recommend no higher than 6000 MT/s and CL30 while 5200 MT/s is Ryzen 7000 series CPU's top RAM speed without factoring in overclocking (EXPO etc).
For a CPU cooler you really don't need an AIO cooler for Ryzen CPUs, helps somewhat with the way their boost algorithm behaves but that's about it. A decent air cooler will more than do.

also, is this build a carry over from another one with some components? I see three M.2 SSDs there, would it not work out better two have just two 2TB or one 4TB?

[steep crater]

[cinder veldt]

Yeah ill be honest im not the best with ram. I know AMD is a little finicky when it comes to ram. I could certainly edit the ls it and reduce the MT to something more reasonable which would reduce the cost, or if he was up to it manually tune it but that takes time.
Although im a defender for air cooling i thought it would be beneficiary for the longevity of the 7800x3d considering it does got hot. and although i dont care for the noise of a air cooler he might so i thought it would be the better choice.
I think i actually messed up on the storage because i did have a 4tb nvme but it was a 2tb, whoopsie

wait

nevermind i was tweaking out over nothing

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xbf6YN

@patent hound i edited the list for the parts to be better with each other and look a little better (sorry for the second ping)

[smoky flame]

mainly out of curiosity why so many SSDs? wouldn't the one be enough?

[cinder veldt]

2 reasons

1. Kieren said he was looking to spend around 3k to 4k on a pc with a surplus for peripherals (oh but i see a 4080 super why not a 4090) the cost of 4090s have stagnated at almost 2 grand while the 4080s have decreased
2. Asrock supports 3 nvmes so we use them (the 4tb and 2tb as actual storage, i tacted on the 500 gig drive as a boot drive)

also i believe the board supports 4 data cables aswell, so if he wanted to add more storage he could

also i chose nvidia because im not 100% what the plan is for this computer but if it involves more then just gaming its better to stick with nvidia just in case

personally it think we're in one of the best and worse times to build a pc

[smoky flame]

those 4090 prices sure are crazy but that 3-4K budget will still allow it

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VpY4yg some changes I made to the build you started

currently the best CPU for gaming on the market paired with the most powerful GPU on the market and one of the fastest gen 5 M.2 SSDs with a motherboard that is ready for that. Only two things I'd recommend you do though is make sure the BIOS is up to date on the motherboard and with the SSD I think a heatsink (motherboard should support that on the primary M.2 slot above the GPU, which is also the M.2 slot that will make use of the gen 5 speeds) is recommended with gen 5 as they are known to run pretty toasty, otherwise this is about as good as it gets for a PC build right now

[cinder veldt]

only changes i would make is different motherboard and gpu manufacturer(maybe)

[smoky flame]

yeah, ASUS have been a bit troublesome lately

[cinder veldt]

always have been

the 7800x3d blowing up was them

[smoky flame]

I think there was more to it than that as I'm using a Strix B650E-F and my 7950X3D hasn't blown up on me well over a year on from when all that blew up but yeah, I definitely don't trust ASUS

there were other boards affected too iirc but to a lesser extent

[cinder veldt]

it was more on release when the 7800x3d came out and Asus didnt voltage properly, causing the chips to explode

And Asus quietly shifted blame on AMD as AMD allowed RMAs and fixed the problem

[smoky flame]

hence why I added to make sure BIOS was up to date. Ideally anything newer than ComboAM5Pi v1.0.0.6 should be fine as earlier than that is where the problem BIOS versions may be. Latest (non beta) BIOS version is ComboAM5Pi v1.2.0.0a Patch A though a lot of the recent BIOS were for adding support to Zen 5 and afaik don't offer anything extra for Zen 4 so would say you can come and go with those versions

[cinder veldt]

yeah i get that

also i feel asus doesnt have any interesting software to choose from

Like for example, my MSI board supports Kombostrike, which is their undervolter and it took my 5700x3d from 68c to below 60c under stress

[smoky flame]

I wouldn't really touch the software from the motherboard vendor tbh some of it can be problematic and conflict with other software. For best results I'd recommend you try manually undervolting your CPU with curve optimizer via the BIOS. Start with negative 5 all cores but if you want to fine tune it there will come a point you have to tune per core as I doubt every CPU will reach negative 30 all cores on curve optimizer and that may have also been the cause behind your BSOD earlier (undervolting a step too far perhaps)

[cinder veldt]

my blue screen was a result from a driver issue with my gpu (as games weren't opening and telling me it was a driver file in my windows). Also this wasn't an option i enabled recently it was when i got my 5700x3d

also in my experience with undervolting/overclocking i never got window bsod just hard crashing and restarting

also the 5700x3d is more receptive to undervolting unlike the 5800x3d

[smoky flame]

ahh, I see. I only mention the BSOD as a friend on another server kept having them after setting CO too far (they thought they could set negative 30 all cores and forget it) and it seems alright on games but desktop it would often BSOD. Someone else on that same tech channel suggested lowering or turning off CO and it was a lot more stable after they dropped to around negative 15 all cores I think it was

[cinder veldt]

its actually funny because im on kombo strike 3, which is -30

so if it was an undervolt issue i feel i would have more issues, this feels like a isolated incident with my gpu software

[smoky flame]

every chance, true

[cinder veldt]

since i go back tomorrow i opened up my laptop to see if theres anything i could do to it.

Surprisingly the fans were only a little dusty

And battery seemed good

ram is satured so thats a little unfortunate

the ssd is modular so i bought a new ssd

Not nvme though

[cinder veldt]

come across a pc building short
its a pc build under 1000 dollars
looks alright, what are the spe-
Arc750
I5 11400f
wait-
the motherboard is 360* dollars

[latent gate]

arguably the one part you never cheap out on

[smoky flame]

I wouldn't cheap out on the motherboard as such either but I also wouldn't spend about 3x the cost of the CPU on a motherboard as there are likely cheaper alternatives than a $300 motherboard for this particular build which could then go right back into getting a better GPU. Pretty sure the motherboard in this instance would cost more than the CPU and GPU combined and that just wouldn't sit right with me lol

[cinder veldt]

It is

Its 360 dollars

that cpu and gpu are only 300

[cinder veldt]

id agree with this if it werent for the fact that its buying a good motherboard for a cpu generation that isnt good that doesnt sit right

Like if it were me, id spend the 180 for a LGA1700 and a i3 12100f (an arguably better cpu then the 11400f) then 458 on a 1200 and a 11400f

[full flint]

Not trying to start a war here

just an opinion

I believe console gaming is better than PC gaming

[cinder veldt]

alr

[full flint]

I can explain why if you'd like

[latent gate]

no. we're fine.

[cinder veldt]

im good

[latent gate]

never said it sat right with me either. but it's the one part of a build that you should always make sure is futureproofed

otherwise you'll have to replace it if you upgrade

also the fact people forget the motherboard can affect performance as well

[cinder veldt]

Future proofing as a concept never sat well of me but i get what you mean
As for performance unless if you're overclocking. then a more expensive board wouldn't be that great. Unless if you meant like ram speed which i suppose but my board that is like 80 bucks supports up to 3200 mt but AM4 cpus only goes up to 3200mt in most cases
Quite frankly a motherboard is just one big glorified data cable and should be purchased as such

[latent gate]

no. it's quite common knowledge that a lower end board can very much end up being a bottleneck

is $300 overkill? yes. but I'd not go for a board under $150 either unless it was a mid/high-end model on a decent sale

[cinder veldt]

Dark its so must more worse then i thought

I rechecked the video and it wasnt the Mini ITX like i thought

its the atx one

its 750 dollars

[latent gate]

[cinder veldt]

I could understand 300 dollars for a Motherboard
but 750? i better get a free cpu and compatibility to the next 4 generations

[cedar juniper]

Kinda dumb but in reference to ‘gaming chairs’ what you lot rocking need a new one like should I look at one the classic cushioned ones a mesh one what’s the good stuff

[latent gate]

a bed and a wall

truly the most healthy of spines

[cinder veldt]

office chair

gaming chairs unironically suck in terms of comfortabilty and posture

[latent gate]

depends

posture not usually. comfortability, depends on the chair

they're generally better than cheaper office chairs ergonomically, but not as good as ergo chairs with dedicated lumbar support

[cinder veldt]

i have one one of those big and tall chairs

But to put it bluntly, if you spend 60 dollars on a chair you're going to get that

[smoky flame]

$750 motherboard?! that build is so out of balance it would have Thanos screaming 😄 budget CPU and GPU and then a top of the line motherboard. Let me guess the power supply was a fire hazard? 😮 that is one component I'd say to NEVER cheap out on. Hell, go overkill if you gotta (like I did) but for the safety of the user I highly recommend asking around about good power supplies and if you can, soak up that cost (as in don't include it in the overall cost of the system)

[eternal delta]

Can people help me find a pc to have

https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-it-m100r-amd-ryzen-5700x-nvidia-rtx-4070-12gb-27-qhd-170hz-monitor-desktop-pc-gaming-package.html

Would this be good for price with options

[raven hull]

It’s decent cost for the bundle. But it’s hard to gauge the cost of the pc because there’s extra stuff in the bundle (monitor, keyboard, and mouse). There’s a few extra upgrades you’ll need like the OS and 2nd storage (512 GB will not be enough)

Personally, I would find a prebuilt without a bundle.

[eternal delta]

I need a bundle lol dont have anything rn

And looks my budget

[raven hull]

In that case, bundle is great. But you do have to upgrade some things. I don’t know if the mobo has WiFi, so check that if you want that.

[eternal delta]

It does and i can pick 32gb ram and 2tb ssd for it

[raven hull]

16GB is decent start, if you want to budget your money to something else

[eternal delta]

Whats better amd or intel

[raven hull]

there's pro and con for both. Intel used to dominate, but it's been a balance playing field for a while. It probably comes down to preference. I have AMD CPU and NVIDIA GPU.

[eternal delta]

I went for it

[exotic jacinth]

I would avoid 13 and 14th gen because of the stability issues on Intel atm

[eternal delta]

Yeah

[cinder veldt]

This is....

not too bad

[eternal delta]

Lol

Not bad for my first entry

[cinder veldt]

ive seen bad builts and okay ones
that one is okay considering you get peripherals with it

[eternal delta]

Yeah best i could do with budget and all together

[cinder veldt]

And the specs aren't horrible to the price so id say you're getting your moneys worth

[eternal delta]

Happy to hear excited now

[cinder veldt]

ill probably add up the costs when i can later because im interested in what their profit margins would look like considering it doesn't seem like much

[exotic jacinth]

Looks pretty decent for the price yeah 4070 will last you a while

[glacial parcel]

does anyone had problem with unpacking games from game pass ?

I'm having an issue getting my Xbox elite controller to show up via Bluetooth on my PC all of a sudden..
It connects to my steam deck just fine.
My PC is able to also connect to my steam deck via Bluetooth just fine.

Any idea why the controller won't show up? I have updated it.

[full flint]

Oh okk thanks

[cinder veldt]

[willow mortar]

I sure hope TDU SC is in a better state than what the Steam demo showed. I didn't like it at all. Going to be watching it very closely as it was a game I was interested in getting but off the back of the Steam beta that went and made a full 180 turn the other way

[cinder veldt]

So i decided to put in the numbers and yeah

1,100 is pretty good for that build

especially with the monitor and periphs

[eternal delta]

Not bad

[cinder veldt]

is there changes i would make?
Yes
Id just add a 1tb storage

Other then that its good

[eternal delta]

Did i say what i added to it?

[drifting portal]

Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to reformat a external SSD without losing the games I have on it? (I just got a 2TB, and went to install xbox game pass, but I need to reformat to NTFS first, problem is I have about 1.25TB of my steam library on there already)

[sleek forum]

honestly the trailer looked better than what they put out
most people are also tried of Hero shooters

[cinder veldt]

nah

[eternal delta]

32gb ram and 2tb ssd to it

All cost me 1300

[sleek forum]

wow, that crazy I got 32GB of RAM and I paid like 120 for it and I just bought two 1tb SSD

spent about 300

[latent gate]

$1300???????

Or is that for the entire build

[dusky wave]

Did u set controller to pairing mode to link to pc

[still anvil]

Yes..? Lol

[latent gate]

update its firmware

[exotic jacinth]

You could just move your steam library files to another drive and then put them back on after the format has done.

[cinder veldt]

for the entire build

whoops left ping on

also since thats in english dollarydoos that would be 1700usd

[still anvil]

i did

I can't wait to get mine!

[smoky patrol]

does anyone else ever want to beat their pc with a bat or is that just me?

[willow mortar]

My PC has been kicking around for around 10 years and has survived not only me, but it's previous life as a business computer at some company I've never heard of.
It's existence is a testament to technology itself, and to intentionally damage it would ruin me more than it.

[smoky patrol]

i would throw my pc in a lake and feel nothing

i am so tired of cheaters bro😭

i might need to join the club

[willow mortar]

Oh, I just don't play multiplayer games, like at all, lmao.
My PC runs Linux, which makes playing the more popular stuff a little more tedious if not impossible.
I occasionally play Fortnite with my partner on the Xbox, but that's about where my online gaming ends.

[smoky patrol]

the way i see it is if i want to play a game and my pc cant run it i will buy what i need but now i have a high end pc so i dont have 2

i love games that arent mp but i have some friends that are 2 funny not to play with

[willow mortar]

Oh I just don't care about any of that
The only game I've played on PC that I feel demands PC controls is Doom Eternal. I have about 40 hours in that. Most of everything else is on the Xbox.
I'm a broke just-barely-adult trying to scrounge up scratch for more important things, so my PC does what it needs to do, and not much else, I'm generally happy with that.

[inland jungle]

A game I’ve wanted to buy has been on sale all August but back to full price September. Do I have to wait until steam autumn sale?

[ruby spear]

If it's not currently on sale and you want to pay sale price, you'll have to wait and see if it does go on sale again. There's no guarantee it will be included in the Autumn sale.

[worn swallow]

Correct me if I’m wrong. But if Microsoft does make the Xbox series Windows and it’s a Xbox console and has full windows 11 on it. Having the Xbox UI when you use a controller. And then the windows 11 you when you use a mouse and keyboard.
then they could make it to where you could download any windows gaming platform like the epic game store and steam just like any windows PC And steam wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Just like they couldn’t say you couldn’t download Steam on a surface Windows PC. correct?

[dusky wave]

Well they will never do that.

[worn swallow]

Why? Last I checked at least a lot of of the rumors were saying that’s what Microsoft goal is. Along with a handheld.

https://youtu.be/-D9vJ560wLw?si=DDWFXwoSSuyOke6c

At least this is what I hear

[dusky wave]

Thats what it is rumors. We dont go buy rumors here. Phil said it would be cool for a xbox handheld but it was not even confirmed

[worn swallow]

Gotcha

[full flint]

Hi I need advice I want to get a Xbox controller to play on my PC do I need to get the wireless adapter or is Bluetooth good enough?

[dusky wave]

Why not play it wired? Less input lag than wireless or bluetooth

[errant sorrel]

The wireless adapter is fine for pretty much anyone

[cinder veldt]

i suppose the wirelesss adapter considering xbox controllers don't use bluetooth (i think)

[dusty vector]

Xbox One S and later controllers have bluetooth support.

[cinder veldt]

really?

i actually never knew

Thats cool

[golden meadow]

Is it possible to use same Xbox membership account in 2 pc separately and play ?

[mellow lintel]

At the same time? No

[golden meadow]

Is it possible to use play online on pc or offline on another ?

Like primary and secondary

[iron spindle]

you can not share gamepass on PC between accounts

[golden meadow]

Ok

[full flint]

noooooo that means i cant use my old xbox one controllers to drive my lego cars 😦

[frosty lake]

If I own a Xbox game on my console account can I play that game with same progress on my pc account or all my progress will get reset

[limber granite]

depends on the game

some games are shared but most are not

on pc game pass it's shown by 'xbox play anywhere' feature

[frosty lake]

I have rdr 2 on Xbox will I be able to play in on my pc or will I have to buy it again?

[limber granite]
