the fact it's an Athlon A10 is reason alone
#pc-gaming
full flint
I'll be frank, you could spend more money than the system's worth on cooling and overclock it, but that'll only get you so far, and it'd end up being cheaper and less risky to do a complete upgrade
800MHz for DDR3 is not a lot at all, especially running 12gb which is only about 11.2GB usable
Athlon CPU were never that great to begin with performance-wise
the GPU, there's not much to say on it, since you can run less-intensive games perfectly fine on a R7 240
and the storage is irrelevant, other than the fact it's a mechanical drive
which will automatically mean the system will run slower if that's the only storage you have
basically the only way it's getting a performance increase as-is, is if you completely clear the drive of any extra frivolous files
a lot of files means more to index and a slower performance metric
especially a lot of smaller files
but that's really about all that could be said/done @primal ferry
at this point I would consider ryzen
depending on country maybe used pc (not amd before ryzen)

Build a new pc at this point holy moly
smoky flame
yeah, sounds to me a new PC would be the way to go. I bet even the Ryzen 3 3300X will provide quite an upgrade in CPU performance. DDR4 set to 3200MHz against DDR3 at 800MHz is no contest. Only thing you would need is a GPU since the 3300X isn't an APU like that A10-7800 seems to be. Alternatively, if you want another APU there is the 3200G and 3400G. Either way, if you land up upgrading or building a whole new system you will require a new motherboard and ram that will add to the overall cost

Hi guys, I'm trying to get a rough estimate on my pc. I bought the parts off Amazon and Newegg brand new. On April 22nd. Of this year. And didn't finish the build till may 5th. I know things tend to worth less than what you originally pay for. It cost me 800.00 I'm trying to sell it for 600.00 to 550.00 on various of sites..

I can't understand why AMD would have to launch refreshes like that. If all they do is give a slight boost it doesn't make these new CPUs that exciting. If anything they may end up being even hotter to run than their non-XT counterparts. What's wrong with the 3600X, 3800X and 3900X?
full flint
These are last gen CPU's?
surreal moss
Because they’re a business and want more money
As production and binning improve over time, they basically end up with chips stronger than what they were at launch
So refresh, make money
The 8700k went through this. Launched at 4.4ghz. Now it’s up to 4.7 or 4.8 officially, with 99% of chips capable of 4.9ghz pretty much 75% of the chips capable of 5ghz

newer ryzen are equally, or nearly as good as intel in single thread performance, and that's already more than enough for even highest-end gaming, but Ryzen excel in multithread performance, where intel lacks behind. as well as ryzen's ability to task specific cores to specific tasks ongoing

Will anyone suggest be the best pc build which can stream and game fivem simultaneously in under $500
surreal moss
Not gonna happen
I could barely build you one that could just play games for $500
I’d say min price for a 2 in 1 that won’t look like you’re streaming out of a console is $700-800
And that’s just the PC. No peripherals included
full flint
yeah, not for 500
surreal moss
Cheapest I can make that isn’t a dumpster fire. You’ll want a 2060 or higher to get the dedicated streaming chip
I can get it down to probably 800 flat or slightly below but it’s gonna be really really bad
full flint
even using NVENC, streaming can still be taxing on the CPU as well
surreal moss
Anything 8 core right now is over $250
Cheapest I can possibly go
Quite the dumpster fire as you can see
Little small factor GPU
full flint
go with the most basic case
smoky flame
what is the ideal setup for streaming on PC?
smoky flame
I just mean if someone had no real budget. I take it dual PC (Gaming/streaming) is still king or am I wrong there? and with Windows 10 latest feature update I'm wondering if that hardware accelerated GPU scheduling option may be able to assist the streaming PC 
surreal moss
Dual Pc will always be king
If we’re just talking about the PCs, you’d just throw in a 64 core threadripper and a small GPU for some basic system hardware acceleration, then the gaming PC would be a 10900k and titan rtx
Supply equally of quality supplementary parts
All you really need is a 24 core and you’re set
But 64 cores is gonna make your production pipeline pretty much instantaneous
Like your bottleneck will be your SSD
You’d get something like a hyper m.2 and just set like 4 m.2s in raid and go to town
Still probably gonna be the bottleneck
smoky flame
so that's how a top of the range, streamer dual system would be set up? In all honesty I have no interest in streaming but it is interesting to see what a no budget, all out setup would be like. Would like to think anyone with such a setup out there finds the right streaming platform that can show off what all that hardware can do. YouTube has compression that I would think impacts the quality of the stream on other people's end. Not sure on Twitch or Mixer
surreal moss
Well for audio the easiest way to go would be a double GoXLR setup, one for each PC. Then plug the mic into the streaming PC one. Mic would be the shure SM7B
No real need to go any higher than the 7B
For lighting you can do anything really
Easiest is tapping into an elgato ecosystem
Get 3 streamlights/keylights/whatever they’re called, use one as a backlight and 2 as keylights
Get a big ol streamdeck
4k60 mk II as the capture card
Anything for room lighting should be Phillips hue as they have integration with the elgato ecosystem
full flint
elgato is required for dual-system if you use a console as well
surreal moss
I wouldn’t say required but it definitely works
You could go with any capture card that has passthrough regardless of brand
smoky flame
even more hardware 
this actually amazes me it takes all this to stream - well, maybe not all this for beginners but for those with no budget and want to start with one almighty bang
full flint
no, if you're doing a full set up, you need a capture card, and the best is obv elgato
so when I said "elgato" I meant cap-card
but yeah, you can stream directly from console
surreal moss
i mean avermedia’s stuff isn’t half bad.
full flint
and now there's some services that allow overlays and routing
surreal moss
Definitely more budget friendly
full flint
but yeah, if you have a full setup, and a use a console to play some games on your stream, a live-feed cap-card is required
surreal moss
Your upload speed should be at least 10 if you’re streaming on twitch and 15 on mixer, assuming you’re pushing recommended speeds.
full flint
ye
surreal moss
That’s going to guarantee at least a 4 or 5 mbps buffer in case your provided speed dips
full flint
doesn't YT support 4k streaming now?
surreal moss
I think
full flint
if you're going for that you'll want 50
surreal moss
I don’t think they have a bitrate cap either
surreal moss
1080p is still pretty much undefeated for live-streaming. 4k requires too much to watch for most people without transcoding, and then they have to deal with crappy transcoding
So it’s a better viewer experience really to just go like 1080p and 10-12k bitrate
Then you’re pretty much guaranteeing that anyone on WiFi can watch and some mobile users can still get full quality
smoky flame
I think all this has made me respect streamers some more. Those that do go all the way to creating a setup like this must be really passionate about it
surreal moss
I have much better pictures lol
But yeah it’s a time and money sink
What’s transcoding? What’s key frames? B-frames? Keyframe intervals? What’s the difference between h264, x264, x265, NVENC, or MP4 and MKV?
Then there’s learning how to customize X264 at the code level
What’s good lighting? How do you balance temp vs brightness? Vs what camera you’re using? What lens do you use with what focal length based on how far away you have it?
smoky flame
hah, so much to take in. Definitely don't think streaming is for me. I'll happily stick to gaming only. None of that to worry about 😅
surreal moss
Or you can just be XQC and stream from the same C920 webcam for 7 years and call it a day
Learning about condenser vs dynamic mics is really cool
You can tell what kind of mics people have just by hearing it
Like when you hear everything behind someone and it’s like they’re talking through a laptop, it’s probably a condenser mic with too much gain
full flint
transcoding isn't all too problematic if you have a dedicated rig
surreal moss
Aka 90% of headsets
You don’t get to do your own transcoding for youtube or twitch lol
surreal moss
It’s sent to the ingest server and transcoding is handled on their end
(Transcoding is when you have the options to watch in different quality levels)
autumn sluice
i mean i still get 1080 60fps on a 1650 super when streaming using nvenc
surreal moss
It takes your source ingest and breaks it down into watchable intervals. I think it’s 720p at 3500 kbps, 480p at 2000 or 1500, and so on
So people on cellular or rural internet can watch
You can stream with anything using anything
full flint
Hello everyone
surreal moss
But if you start cranking things up on the production side, you’re gonna hit performance roadblocks
If you try to double pass encode on your 1650 super, there goes your overhead
I use a 1650 super to encode my recordings live. With my modest yet maximum-for-twitch settings, I use about 25-35% of the vram bank at all times
Leaving quite literally 3gb or less to run a game
autumn sluice
i just pull recording off the streaming platform afterwards if i wanna make a vid]
surreal moss
Disgusting
Nothing like taking that content that should be 1080p60 at 50,000kbps and compressing it down to 1080p40-60 at 6000kps and compressing it yet again up to whatever platform you upload the video to
Also rip your audio
Going from 256kbps to idek what trash twitch clips make it
It might as well be mono because it’s not far from it
full flint
recording simultaneously is the best option
because audio can be muted by the platform after
surreal moss
Aio set to $1000 because in reality you’re going to build a loop
It’s also missing the pci raid bay I was talking about earlier

If I have a monitor attached to my laptop, I get considerable amount of frame rate drop on any game. Is there something wrong that I'm doing or shall I just give up and use my built in monitor. I just have extend display over HDMI
tribal pilot
Ok was looking at my 4K tv I had bought a while back and found out there’s native 120hz and true motion 120hz So my tv does only 60hz in reality. Kinda bummed about that. Looked for some 4K native 120 hz and they are all large and expensive. Man feel lied to lol.
full flint
Most TVs now support native 120, with a CMR/interpolation of 240
But yeah. They can be expensive
tribal pilot
Is there a major difference between 2k and 1080. Or is it not noticeable enough to be worth upgrading? Seems to be 2k monitor is in my budget and I’m about to pull the trigger on buying one.
shut orchid
using a dell 1440p 144hz monitor, huge upgrade from a 60hz 1080p monitor had
pastel inlet
@tribal pilot er, what resolution? What is commonly called 2k isn't 2k at all. 1920x1080 is 2k for 16:9 resolutions if 3840x2160 is 4k for 16:9
Are you referring to 1080pUW? 1440p?
tribal pilot
1440P
pastel inlet
1440p is definitely noticeable over 1080p
but I wouldn't say its worth buying if you can't get 144hz or 165hz
tribal pilot
Sorry you confused me on that the ratio is different?
surreal moss
It would be 2048x1080 for dci
Look it’s all technical right and wrong and for your purpose 1440p is 2k
Because that’s how all the panel producers will market it, so going by technicality will only give you a headache
tribal pilot
What should I go for New consoles coming out? Not to get it wrong?
Or what specification should I be looking at
surreal moss
4k120. If you’re going all out
Make sure that the native refresh rate is 120
Not the projected or visual or whatever they describe the fake refresh rate as
tribal pilot
Budget so that was the reason for 2k can’t find 4K monitor that’s 120hz that won’t give me a heart attack from the price.
surreal moss
Most monitors will be 1440p144 in that spec range
You can find some good deals if you look often enough
tribal pilot
I have a 1080p 144hz right now. So was wondering about it being worth it for 2k or just save up money and go for the 4K 120hz.
tribal pilot
Yeah it would be.
surreal moss
So no point in spending more money if that’s where you’ll end up in the end
Because you’re gonna get a new 1440p and then a year or two from them you’ll be looking at upgrading again anyway
So just save and go straight to the end
smoky flame
is there anything I ought to know about resolutions other than 1080p on Windows like scaling? Very tempted to get the 1440p monitor I've been staring at for the past few days but what some people in another server said has also been playing on my mind 😦

curved monitors worth it?
surreal moss
Preference
tribal pilot
Heard that some games won’t support untrawide cause of unfair advantage. And the monitors will have a black bar on the side for those games so guessing getting ultra wide is not going to be worth it. I could be wrong tho.
surreal moss
It’s not super common but yeah
Ultra wide is more of a cinematic thing
If you just want performance and compatability, buy 16:9
full flint
if you want 4K 120 on console definitely get series x and a tv (like lg c9 or whatever has HDMI 2.1)
3080ti may be good but we don't know it yet...
more 4K 120 monitors will probably exist as the years go by though (I hope)
smoky flame
prices will hopefully begin to fall in the next few years for 4K 120+ Hz monitors. There are some fairly cheap 4K options but all the really good ones likely cost north of £1000.
Currently no GPU can really handle 4K 120Hz in game. Even the Titan RTX struggles I believe, unless we are talking older and/or less demanding titles
full flint
Titan RTX is usually fine on most
It doesn’t hit 120 on the heaviest of hitters though
Which is all of like 3 games
wonder how good 3000 series will be
smoky flame
depends on what settings people game at too. I'm sure there are others out there like me that like to throw everything to maxed settings, even at 4K. Ray tracing options will wreck even the Titan RTX. DLSS won't save that Titan RTX and its 24GB vram and £2500 price tag
full flint
I only consider maxed out as a bench
DLSS is not maxed out though
It’s basically just another technique similar to checkerboarding, just using ML to upscale
Or dynamic resolution
Or motion blur
smoky flame
so you don't count DLSS as part of the whole "maxed settings" thing?
full flint
No. Because it’s not
Now
4k using DLSS to slam to 8k
I’ll allow that
Purely for 8k sake 🥴
Because the GPU is still rendering out native 4k

Honestly dont know I need to do some research and come back with this question later I guess lol
My hardware class was next semester but thats on hold I should get the books and start studying tho.
full flint
SSD are able to use SATA (Hard drives use this), M.2, PCIe (same slot-type that peripheral attachments like sound-cards and GPU use), and U.2 which is an SSD-only Enterprise-grade slot
odds are you're not dealing with U.2, as that's usually on highest end motherboards
tribal pilot
I have one ssd allready and theres a spot next to it for another one so assuming I can put another one in. I have not taken the bottom part of and seen what the cables look like.
tribal pilot
yeah thats it
full flint
e.g. does the port look like that
that's SATA
standard hard drive connector
(or optical in some cases)
this is m.2
this is PCIe
tribal pilot
ok dont know If I have that connection on the board Ill have to look at it
the last two
full flint
m.2 can be hit or miss if you have it
PCIe are on almost all motherboards, optane-ready not so much
so it depends on which types of PCIe lanes you have
but yeah
go with Mx500 or 860/860 evo

oops wrong channel
tribal pilot
My internet provider provides elite gaming app that lowers high ping and other issues. It works but it basically makes you wait longer in lobby’s like cod modern warfare for a better connection.
Kinda suspicious of it so far but I’m still trying it out for now since it’s free.
tribal pilot
So far been getting 35 45 ping before I got 60 to 80 ping.
surreal moss
Sounds like a service that just refuses to connect you to server regions past a certain point
You can do this with most enthusiast routers that come with gaming software
So basically instead of giving you some server location far away from where you live (because it was the quickest match with good quality) it just region locks you (or close to region lock)
If you play a low population game you might just not be able to match at all, that’s the only real downside besides waiting longer
tribal pilot
It’s free but I’m paying 115 a month for 1000mbs. Have only been waiting 20 seconds vs 5 seconds. Seems like it’s working and helping ping and I can monitor it. But I wouldn’t pay 115 for fast internet just to get it. It’s not op or anything it’s just something that might give you a slight edge potentially. Then again the app crap for all I know.
I’ll review it for the next week and post my thoughts on it later I have only played one game with it cod so far. It’s probably just a money grab for the cable company.

Crysis Remastered will focus on the original game's single-player campaigns and is slated to contain high-quality textures and improved art assets, an HD texture pack, temporal anti-aliasing, SSDO, SVOGI, state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, and parallax occlusion mapping, particle effects will also be added where applicable. Further additions such as volumetric fog and shafts of light, software-based ray tracing, and screen space reflections provide the game with a major visual upgrade.
full flint
idk...we'll see
hot seal
yeah I bet we can see it better tomorrow
smoky flame
"state-of-the-art depth fields" if I get Crysis remastered I won't see this since I tend to disable depth of field, motion blur and chromatic aberration
smoky flame
there's always a way
full flint
they aren't held in the INI file
not on the old version
maybe on remastered
those were always the biggest complaints with Crysis 2 and 3
you literally couldn't even mod it out
because it was hardbaked into the renderer
smoky flame
hmm I was sure there was an option through some official cvar file to disable it when I played Crysis 3
smoky flame
Crysis remastered just needs something like this and we should be able to disable stuff like depth of field
full flint
I find it funny too, especially since actual gameplay elements relied on it
in 1 I mean
smoky flame
I've just never been a fan of depth of field. First settings I look out for in games are the three I mentioned above. If I spot them in the in game settings you can bet they are disabled across every game I play
volumetric fog is another setting I'm considering dropping soon since some games add more than just some off/on toggle. Some games you can't even disable it, others go as far as ultra and don't show that much improvement (if any at all) yet hit the system harder than any other graphics settings
full flint
it's cryengine, you'll notice a difference
CE handles chromatic aberration differently than UE
UE's just makes everything blurry or fuzzy
CE's does the lens distortion with its...so it looks like you're wearing goggles always (thanks crysis)
ah nice
I mean...c'mon. I know they use it for EM detection
but at least tweak it for non-crysis games

wish more games could make use of the CryEngine. Crysis 3 looked a stunner and still does. Which it is hard to believe it launched before even the Xbox One and PS4 launched (same year though)

hope they plan to "remaster" Crysis 2 and 3 at a later date. Further improve upon those games with the newer version of the Cryengine game engine
full flint
they mentioned ray-tracing, but I think they amended that out
it pluralizes it
Crysis Remastered will focus on the original game's single-player campaigns
either "campaigns" is a typo, and they have no plans to touch the other 2, or they're touching the other 2

trust me, even if you saw something that would be spoiler, you'd have absolutely zero clue as to any significance
tbh...you might not even follow it after completing the darn game

what I've seen and heard of it really intrigues me. Sounds nothing like a Kojima game though. Sure hope there are massive killer robots and over the top boss fights in it somewhere 😦
if not Horizon Zero Dawn may fix that

it sounds exactly like a kojima game
once you put plot points down
but you've been keeping spoiler free. so even then I could avoid MGSV spoilers and it wouldn't sound like a kojima title lol
smoky flame
Heh, I think I'll buy it but it won't be a day one purchase. I'll be looking out to see reviews relating to how the game performs before buying it
full flint
it requires a 1060 for 1080p@60 maxed
I'm sure it'll be fine
especially given how MGSV launched
kojima plays his games quite a bit before releasing them
smoky flame
any word on an uncapped frame rate?
smoky flame
higher framerates sounds a good start. Hopefully that isn't meaning just 60 FPS though, lol
full flint
the game already supports 60fps
but a majority of the time runs at 30
so it might just mean 60-stable
smoky flame
just hope my system is ready to put up with 1440p 240Hz real soon. If anything I've future proofed my display, even have HDR (HDR600) to give a try. Now I need to look ahead to what will improve performance and get me closer to running games at up to 240 FPS
smoky flame
I know, somewhat planning ahead. Display first, new hardware after sort of thing
full flint
I'll stay with 120hz until 240hz IPS are improved
I can't stomach TN or VA
I'd also much prefer 4k@120 over QHD@240

Was looking at a 1440p and a 4K monitor and they were both at the same frame rate and playing the same thing it was a slight difference for me. So still on fence for getting 4K or 1440p monitor. Can you guys tell a major difference between 4K and 1440p at same frame rate? Or does it depend on the person and how far they sit from their monitor?
full flint
yes. visually there will be a difference if you're watching media designed for 4k
but both viewer's position and screen size and PPI matter
smoky flame
Keep in mind 4K will wreck performance in games unless you have a very powerful GPU. 1440p is somewhat of a sweet spot. Higher resolution than 1080p, allowing for a clearer image and performance impact is lower with 1440p than it is at 4K
what I don't get about 1440p is how did it come about as a resolution and why isn't 2880x1620 the actual midway resolution between 1080p and 4K? Do 1620p monitors even exist?
full flint
its 4x 720p
I think thats the reason but idk
surreal moss
720p to 1080p is the same scaling jump as 1080p to 1440p
You’re just adding 360p
Add another 360p and you get 1800p. Average resolution of Xbox one X enhanced games.
Add another 360p and guess what

yeah, not necessarily.
if you have a big case but not enough fans you won't have any actual airflow

I don’t get good air flow on my case so have a fan on the desk blowing air on the side vents on the case. Brings the temps down about 10 degrees. I know sad I should buy another fan for the case eventually.

the only downside is more dust to deal with

Hmmm well now I'm thinking I'll just sell this pc and build a new one later this year
full flint

wait is that trailer the same one
yes?
in better quality might I add
OMG DID THEY REALLY
HAHAHAHAHA

a lot of people do

I'm planning a building for my brother. 3300X sounds good enough for how much he games and what he plays and 4 cores/8 threads is still pretty much the standard.
Just wondering if anyone has any build ideas I can follow. Would be a near full rebuild. Only the GPU from his current PC would carry over - that I plan to change at a later time

okay cool. that was my only question. ive been waiting for this day for a while
full flint

heavy marsh
thanks man 🙂

I'll probably get it on PC rather than PS4
Looks good 😄
With the Hal Life stuff too I look forward to it

and here is me having never played a kojima game
I had no idea why it was so hyped when it was announced, but people were saying because its a kojima game
not konami kojima
Kojima usually had creative freedom within konami

I don't think I've played a game either. I just like Half Life and I want to see what they've done lol

I very much like the auter approach he and Yoko Taro have
even if it creates some rather hilarious moments in the midst of a serious setting

looks like a no for ps5 then
what
I don't know where you got PS5 from any of that
sony will only support certain ssds for ps5
many are looking into something like that from ps server
PS5 will use certain PCIe4.0 M.2 NVME
they haven't said anything on specifics...at all
so that's completely irrelevant to the fact that that's a PCIe4.0 MLC NVME M.2 SSD
yeah
i wont be surprised if the corsair mp600 works

I wonder if the ps5 will support 1440p or do supersampling like the pro did.

awww yiss
you can buy One S at this price tho
Btw really cheap, it's good to SSD's being cheaper

It's open registration through Eventbrite, for those interested

@surreal moss every japanese game uses denuvo
it's horrid, but a fact of life we must deal with
Persona 4 uses it as well
Twitter

MGS V used it as well, so did NieR Automata
nier was more impacted than MGS though
Tekken 7 uses it too
and FFXV
basically
if it's from SEGA, Bandai, SQENIX, Sony, or Capcom...expect Denuvo because it's more likely than not

If they spent the money for game itself instead of protection people would actually buy game. The thing none of companies get is our one eyed friends always seeks for free stuff. 1 year? 5 years?don't matter for them. All they do is torturing legitmate users
I know someone who didn't get The Last Of Us because he "knew" it would be free via plus one day
There's people who waited 350 days for playing FH4 "free"
350 days, do you really think they do care DRM and will buy games legally?

USB-C Portable USB oh yeah

DX12 is a multicore api made by msft
That’s how they use the Microsoft ray tracing stuff
Aka if you still have a quad core processor, good luck.

Quad core will still work fine just might not be ideal.
Cyberpunk 2077 is still being released on current gen consoles so I don't think we'll see the whole multicore thing come into play until we start to see some Series X/PS5 only titles launch THEN I think quad core CPU users better worry.
Apparently we have at least 2 years before that happens. Plenty time to save up and go for something greater than quad core.
By that point DDR5 may be about too.
