Xbox and pc gameing?
Ima get a pc xbox and ps are to controling and i feel like i am playing with a 3< toy and not sumthing i am spending 500$ for
Not to menton over price games and suscriptons
No more next gen just swich out your parts
You're fine to play on what you want, but plenty of people enjoy consoles
good luck getting latest gpu for less than console
I understand
can anyone help me find a new GPU
shadow of the tomb raider, all ultra with rtx on, and still getting 150fps, NOICE
That’s not family sharing. That’s just logging in with the account that has Minecraft
Yeah my wife has game pass ultimate on her Xbox and I just sign her account into the Microsoft store on my pc and I am able to download game pass games on my profile.
I got my 3070 for straight trade of a series x so it's possible
ooh nice!
that sounds shady
I think I'm going back to 1080p gaming. 1440p is nice but I like how much performance can be gained just from dropping to 1080p. 4K in my opinion now looks really stupid considering it will be even heavier than 1440p
been messing around with The Division 2 some more and at 1440p with Hardware Unboxed's settings my system (5600X, 32GB 3600MHz ram and a 5700 XT) struggles to maintain 60 FPS. Those same settings but at 1080p I'm way above 60 FPS. So much so I set the game to maxed settings and still managed to maintain over 60 FPS. Still upgrading my GPU but this is interesting, at least to me
ohh k
I’m doing ok in 1440p but it is getting harder, better textures us the way though not resolution
nitro ?
anyone know how to fix "This feature is blocked per your Xbox Live parental control settings" on Forza Horizon 4 pc
Yeah you have to change your parental controls
Sorry to state the obvious but that’s literally the answer. You have a parental restriction set somewhere.
I don't get 1440 gaming. Are there that many people plugging xboxes into monitors? Ive never even seen a 1440 tv
You’re forgetting the entirety of the pc gaming world
In which probably around 95% of people use monitors
And yes, there’s lots of people who use consoles with monitors. You still get the same benefits of better responsiveness.
i use a monitor with xbox sometimes
How do I get rid of it?
Idk contact support
will it automaticaly turn off when I turn 18?
the specific display would be called "2k" or something, although im not aware of tvs there are plently of monitors, and 4k tvs would have the ability to do 1440p aswell, and it still gives thebenefits over 1080p
i play on a pc in 1440p on a 4k display
the benefits of say playing on it is maybe you can handle 4k@ 60hz with a setup, but maybe that same setup could handle 1440p @144hz and that wouldbe more beneficial in some games, so some people priotize different thhings
2k is the nickname for 1440p, but it’s not actually 2k
4k is very demanding and lowers your frames dramatically, while 1080p is not and provides great frame rates
1440p is a middle ground where you can get a bigger screen with a sharp picture, and still have good framerate s
some guys will even go for 1080 at 360hz
im thinking of getting a 144hz 1440p monitor maybe this summer
id like to try above 60hz
Never experienced this. I had all kinds of problems with that game( i had to reinstall 5 times and 2 of them were “ this game ran into a problem” reinstall to play it) but if you have any other kind of problem with that game on pc just dm me
I've had to reinstall the games due to the same error message 😦
2 times
Yes ik it’s so frustrating you just want to play some forza and Microsoft be like “ reinstall 100gb”
Ikr
It takes quite while to download 100 gb
My wifi is not that good I’m not a sweat and stuff but it took from 2pm to 9pm
To install ultimate edition
Oh lol
It took me from aroun 4pm to 7pm to install it
i just made a refund request for mordhau after buying it on release and loving it.
I only recently (2 days ago) made a return to it only to see it become a shadow of its' former self.
The technical side of the game is very unstable, with it crashing frequently not only on custom maps, but on the official ones as well. Performance is severely unoptimized, with recommended-tier system struggling on Low.
The playerbase is now majorly consisting of closet cheaters and smurfs, who openly admit it due to the game's lack of any anti-cheat system whatsoever.
Racial/gender slurs in the chat are on the minute-basis.
The main gimmick of this game is broken too, which is melee medieval combat. It is better than Chivalry's, but it's more exploitable than that one.
sorry for this kind of rant, but i'm just done with it
Anyone there?
Seeing that you’re asking in multiple channels. You probably have a question for #233805809346150400
Hosting sniper only lobbies every night 7:30-10:30 dm me for info COD
nah
Looking to start a friend group on pc. In need of 3 people for it. I play bo3. MW. Phasmophobia. Among us. Vrchat. Left for Dead 2. Fortnite. Rocket league. And many more. Must be 14+ to join and from United States!

I wonder when will Halo 5 come to PC

It won’t
They reconfirmed there’s no plans in fall 2020

okay)
Does anyone know when Radeon Rx 6800xt restocks?
not a clue. They are very difficult to come across (at least here in the UK) I want to get one too but since retailers listed them on their sites I have never seen any "in stock" they either have yet to get some or come and go so fast
just wish more companies done a trade up thing similar to what EVGA do where I could trade my 5700 XT Red Devil against the cost of a 6800 XT, pay the difference and be guaranteed one. If there was that option I'd be using it right now
yup, the cpus you can buy though
at least 5600x and 5800x
hi

Can someone play with me on a game like minecraft or roblox and van call dm me
does anyone here use the wave 3 mic from elgato? Im having issues
Why can’t I play rainbow six siege on my pc but I can on my Xbox even though I have the ultimate edition??
Rainbow six siege isn't on game pass for pc
Really?
really
There's plenty of good games for pc!

hello, I have a xbox game pass for 3 months.....but I dont play on Xbox what should I do of it
play the pc games if you have gamepass for pc or ultimate
they are in the xbox app found in windows store or perhaps preinstalled
@void spindle @amber laurel I have got the nitro of discord...that's why I got the Xbox game pass code to redeem...does anyone want it...I have no use of it
no
I'm sure someone does. Feel free to drop the code in #xbox-game-pass , CoCo.
I'm going to get a RTX 3080 build
Nice
I'm still trying to get a 3080 or 6800 XT. Having no luck 😦 Got pretty lucky with my new CPU though. Half expected I'd have been waiting over two months for it

Hello folks. I have a question. I main on Xbox console with gp ultimate sub. And own about 189 games. I recently started up on pc, and am figuring out the ropes but wonder if I am doing something wrong cuz only 4/5 games show up under owned on my pc, or is it like a beta thing. Games I own, that are play anywhere are not even there. Was wondering if someone could help me thru the process. Thanks. Gamertag is helloZigii.
Like for example, I own wwz, (oh and I am the main acct. holder for the gp ultimate in the household), but when I click on it, it says I can install (cuz of gp), or buy it. But I already own it, so why is it not showing up as an owned game on my pc acct. when it is pc playable?
Hope that makes sense. Sorry for being dumb about this. Lol.
the majority of games i own are play anywere but you cant play them on pc @stuck coyote
Okay. I’m so confused now. Lol. Straight from Xbox website it says, “now when you own an Xbox play anywhere digital title it’s yours to play both on Xbox and windows 10 PC.” And “purchase an Xbox play anywhere digital game, play it on Xbox and windows 10 pc at no additional cost”.. the games that are listed in my owned are only gp games. Hence my confusion and why I thought it was a beta error?? Thanks tho for your reply. 😉
does anyone know a good software to get clips
geforce experience works pretty well
I'm confused by your example, because World War Z is not an Xbox Play Anywhere title
So the PC World War Z is not the same license as the Console World War Z, therefore you only have rights on PC due to Game Pass
True. Thanks for the reply. Another example of a game I own that is play anywhere would be, gears 5, that does not show up. So I am just wondering if I am doing something wrong on my end with settings. ? If that makes sense.
The account "helloZigii" does not own Gears 5
L
OMG your right! I don’t, I only own 4, I totes forgot I’ve had gp for so long now. Lolol. Umm okay so that’s good then you can see my games. I’m looking at the play anywhere list atm and comparing. Looks like deep rock galactic is the only one that I have and not showing up. So is there something I can do to like reset my pc? I’m not sure which is why I’m asking. Thank you.
I'm not sure... I know for Deep Rock there are a couple editions listed in the store. I don't know if all editions carry over Play Anywhere but I would try looking at both the deluxe edition and the base game and see if they both show the wrong thing for you?
Okay. Thank you @dusty vector like I said im new to the pc thing, and thought it was just an easy peasy thing w/my acct in a cloud somewhere 😄 but... thanks for your help and input regardless.
It should be straightforward, but yeah, the details of cross-licensing can be unclear sometimes.
You can try Celeste too
Yea, grabbed that when it was gold. Lol. SOD2 has been my grind lately.
Go back to the office, that's where the computers are.
thats for PC gamepass
Here’s a quick guide to animal crossing
I only reccomend if you’re a Peta fanboy or a memelord
when streaming to a pc, can you use the keyboard connected to the pc to control the xbox or no?
ah alright
I'll have to get an extension cord then or something because I don't have a wireless one yet
this is interesting
https://www.techpowerup.com/277053/
Certain AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 7 5800X processors are physically based on a dual-CCD design, according to an investigative report by Igor's Lab and Yuri "1usmus" Bubliy. The 5600X and 5800X are normally meant to be single-CCD processors owing to their core-counts. Based on the "V...
Whats it mean in 5yo speak
idk how to put it in more simple terms but some of these 5600X and 5800X CPUs were 5900X and 5950X that failed to qualify as those CPUs due to some issue or another with one of the two CCDs that would have been active. AMD have disabled this seemingly defective CCD but people have uncovered these CPUs exist and are no doubt trying to find a way to enable this disabled CCD to see how it performs
Basically 5900 and 5950s that weren’t good enough got turned into the 5600 and 5800
This is common practice for most cpu manufacturers. Intel has been doing it for decades
It’s just another form of binning
it's interesting to see some dual CCD zen 3 chips though
I just wonder if lucky some people may get a free upgrade to a 5900X or 5950X 😄
They were disabled for a reason
You may have to run cores 9-12 on something terrible like 2ghz
oh yeah that would be pretty bad but I guess it also comes down to how poor the bin was that cost that CPU from being a 5900X or 5950X?
My view has always been that again, they were disabled for a reason. It could be speed, stability, or just a straight up defunct core
It’s not worth playing around for an extra broken core or two
And of course you could get lucky and just have a chip with 4 extra cores that run just a little too slow
I'm glad there are people out there that love tinkering around and finding these things. I probably won't touch it if mine is one of these special chips but it would sure be interesting no less
https://www.pcgamer.com/kingstons-ghost-tree-is-a-surprisingly-cool-name-for-a-next-gen-7000mbs-ssd/
this is what i want but hopefully not 500$
my guess is $200-$250 1TB
yeah my $100 1tb sata ssd will do just fine XD
Apparently 11xxx intel aint so good
How so

Is there any workaround to get the share button working on pc?
Not currently. There will likely be a driver update in the future to add support for it.
How do I change gaming account in Xbox app Pc? Like i tried changing my Microsoft account as well nothing changed
In the top right of the PC app, click your profile picture and select sign out. Then go to sign back in, and you should get a pop up like this:
click switch account there to swap
rtx 3060 looks promising
Wait so is the KFConsole gonna be a pc or a console
yes.
It’s in the name
The most important part is not the games, it's the free chicken I get
Its a Console shaped PC.
I mean, fundamentally, consoles are pcs. But since the version of games this thing will play are the pc versions, not console versions or a bespoke version for it, it's a pc
Ok
Idk I don’t work for KFC bro
Don’t ping mods for non-moderation purposes
Sorry doesn’t make it ok
so i have xbox game pass ultimate on my account i use on my xbox and i have another account i use on pc (differnt accounts) how do i use the game pass on both?
Ah I would ask in #233805809346150400
i think that you need to be on 1 cc
acc
I am
you said that you are on 2 diffrent

i have 2 top case fans
What to choose?
- both exhaust
- 1 exhaust 1 intake
have them both exhaust seeing as hot air rises you will want that hot air drawn out of your case
Asus, Zotac and Evga now confirmed to be increasing prices of GPUs
Have you seen the Asus Z590 motherboard prices? Crazy
You want them both as exhaust
Front and bottom fans should be intake, back and top fans exaust
The Z line has always been expensive. They don’t cheap out with them like they do the AMD equivalents
Lemme rephrase that
They don’t just make boards that do the bare minimum standard
I still find cases with fans at the bottom odd but I guess only certain cases would have that work and mine isn't one of them but I'd be obsessed with putting a fan everywhere there is a place for one. Having a case with all those options... That will be a lot of fans!
Bottom fans are a very big thing to have
The GPU temperature difference can be huge. Mine is right up against my PSU and just injects cold air from the floor right into the GPU
won't say a triple fan GPU cause issues with these bottom fans or vice versa?
A triple fan will yield even better results with a bottom fan
hmm interesting
Those GPU fans are intake
So that cold floor air that the bottom fan is pulling in, is getting sucked right into the GPU
oh wow. I like how that all sounds
still, would be pretty crazy to imagine a case with as many as 8 fans (3 front, 2 top and bottom and 1 rear) I'd never have enough fan headers to fit all that with my current motherboard
Look where that fan is
That’s a 140mm fan just pumping air into the GPU
And yes, I have 8 fans and it’s great
3 120 exaust above the radiator, 4 140 intakes, and a 120 rear
damn and that's even with the PSU right next to it. I was about to ask if these cases would have been the ones that have the space to hide the PSU behind and allows for even more space at the bottom (no cables in the way type deal)
Most allow it as long as you get a standard size psu
So like anything 850w and under
That’s a 160mm psu
I don't think mine allows it
Anything 1000w and up is usually 180-200 so I wouldn’t be able to have a bottom fan
You could always look into a compact psu
Something SF form factor
I think it’s SF
Check this out
I'd rather not just now. Pretty happy with how my build is but after this I may look at these cases with support for fan(s) at the bottom for my next rebuild in 3 years or so and for my brother's upgrade
Only 100mm in length, 750w
btw, speaking of cooling. I'm pretty impressed with the air cooler I bought. Seems to be managing my 5600X pretty well. Temperatures hardly exceed 60C (stock) for comparison my 6700K that was on a 240mm AIO was only around 5-10C cooler.
That's a 5+ years old, quad core CPU that boosts to 4GHz vs a few months old, hexa core CPU that seems to have no trouble having all cores boost up to 4.6GHz. I was half expecting this Zen 3 CPU to be melting my cooler
no AIO cooler was a good move too imo. Don't think I could see myself using an AIO again in a hurry. At least if and when a fan fails they are inexpensive to replace but an AIO cooler is 5x or greater still the cost of most case fans and has liquid that one really wouldn't fancy exposing to the hardware in a case
and oh boy! Sorry for being so random and switching subjects but THIS is the sort of monitor I've been waiting for https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/asus-rog-swift-pg32uq-is-here-with-4k-144hz-and-hdmi-2-1.html Shame it is Asus and will probably cost a pretty penny, even without G-Sync Ultimate and HDR1000+ certification
That actually isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Somewhat expected them to all cost in excess of $1000
awkwardly though I seem to be taking a liking to 1080p gaming again. Even on my 1440p monitor. 1440p pushes my 5700 XT just a little too much for my liking but 1080p is just right it would seem. I can set games to maxed settings again and see FPS that still exceeds 60. Often reaching into triple figures. Now I get why esports gamers prefer the lower resolutions but I don't think I could see myself drop to 720p
The resolution is only half the reason
peepeepoopoo checkkk
You’re running max but also chasing frames, it’s counterproductive to what you’re looking for
You should try maybe chasing a medium high blend that satisfies your visual desires but still yields great performance.
For me, I run BF2 on a custom mix of things anywhere from ultra to completely off depending on the settings
I used maxed settings as an example. Games that have some sort of optimization video I can go off I will drop certain settings down a notch or two if it barely impacts immersion but saves on performance. Looking at the likes of volumetric fog and shadows
ray tracing is also included though I don't yet own a ray tracing capable GPU. Even when I do get my hands on one I'm not likely to touch it. Would prefer it gets to the state where features like DLSS are no longer required to fix the performance loss ray tracing brings. I can happily wait for that generation of GPUs to arrive
They won’t
It’s ray tracing vs standard easy rendering
The performance impact will never be negated because the better that tech becomes, the better performance the classic lighting methods will have alongside it
When the day rolls around that you can get 8k60 ray tracing with no draw backs, those same GPUs will be capable of 8k180
And by then your standard and expectations will increase accordingly and you’ll be in the same mindset you are now
Oh I’ll just wait a few years until 8k120
I just want to target as high a frame rate I can without dropping too many settings that may impact how the game looks. A sort of fine balance between visuals and performance. If that means sticking to 1080p I don't really mind tbh. I believe ray tracing performance will improve but there is a lot more that can be ray traced still and improved upon and annoyingly that will impact performance still
Remember when you first got your 5700xt and were pretty satisfied
Then the 6000s and 3000s came out and now you’re a little unsatisfied
But nothing changed on your end
That whole feeling will be a circle of history repeating itself
I know but at least at 1080p, if I choose to game at that resolution rather than 1440p or 4K I may not have to upgrade so often. I'm even considering dropping my upgrade plans
hey guys, I need help
al my PC's audio (people talking specially) is ecoed, this is not a hardware issue, it is a software issue, how fix?
this is the exact reason why I had to use the warranty on my old headphones and get the razer kraken headsets as I originally suspected it to be a hardware issue,
How do you know it’s not a hardware issue
because It's happened on 3 different headsets, a hyperX cloud stinger, cloud revolver, and a razer kraken
Ok so it could still be a hardware issue
other than cloud stinger, which I had used before, the razer and revolver are brand new
That doesn’t rule out anything in your pc hardware being the issue
I have to go but I will come back to this
okey
So due to unforeseen events I WILL be getting rocket lake ASAP instead of waiting for alder lake
Dis gon be fun
anyone here know what those things are called
like the thing you take your keys off with
on your keyboard
k thx
If you’re looking to pull the actual keys out of the board, I would research if it’s even possible on your keyboard
And that will require a different tool
oh
like i need to clean under the keys so i need something to pull the keys out with
@surreal moss
Dirt shouldn’t be under your keys unless you spilt something or it’s super old
It should only be dirty under the keycaps
i use my fingers

bad news for this motherboard
https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-xiii-extreme-glacial-model/
its in german but its 1516 Euro (up to 1516 for the whole lineup)
https://asus-press.de/asus-kuendigt-auf-der-ces-2021-mainboards-der-z590-serie-an/
No surprise there
The Maximus extreme has always been one of the top of the line boards closing in on 1k
This one has a fully custom waterblock covering the whole board including the chipset
The basic Maximus extreme was $750 for the z490
Its gone up because of those tariffs right?
They gotta add something to turn off the controller then taking out the battery in pc
It’s gone up because of that huge water block and the the fact that the board has even more expensive features and power stages than the last one
These Z590s are next gen everything
The z490s were still 1g internet and pcie 3.0 and all that stuff
This Maximus extreme board is 4.0, 10g, WiFi 6E, usb 3.2 gen 2x2 finally, the new sound chip and asus dac, basically 20 power stages, its everything z490 cut
not bad
there is that netgear Wifi 6E router right

DisplayPort 2.0 monitors in late 2021 Thanks to HDMI 2.1 display connection standard, our new graphics cards are now ready to support next-generation displays with ultra-high-resolution panels at much higher refresh rates. The next-gen monitor rollout has been very sluggish and despite the standard debuting back in January 2017, only this week a...
damn! We about to see 8K 120+Hz monitors with that displayport 2.0 spec
something like double the bandwidth of displayport 1.4 I believe, which would leave HDMI 2.1 in the dust too
4k240 is gonna be next
Also it only supports up to 8k 85hz
But it does support 4k240
8K 85Hz? this including DSC?
should i get a 3080 or a 3090
depends on ur budget and requirements
3080
or get a 3060
or a 3070
provided you can actually get any of them (I know I can't) the 3080 is the clear winner in terms of value and performance out of the 3080 and 3090. I wouldn't even consider the 3090 tbh
I heard the Radeon rx 6800 xt restocks in spring does anyone know if this is true
no idea but I have seen light stock coming in at one of the stores I'm monitoring daily on the 6800/6900 series cards but they appear to be pre orders for February
Do you know what websites
no, I just use the stock informer to keep me updated but it doesn't support all the retailers if you are in the UK. idk about the US version
When you say pre orders for February to you mean the pre orders are available in February
Is BenQ a good brand for monitors? I saw a 27-inch on Amazon for $149.
Wait, so Acer isn't Acer anymore? They're now BenQ?
Fellas can I ask some input in a dilemma im having with my new rig? I'm new to pc so don't flame too hard lmao
Benq just seperated from acer
Not really
If you go up to $200 you enter a market with a plethora of 1080p144 pure gaming monitors
All I really play on PC is WoW. Will 1080p144 really make that much of a difference?
When you dip under $200, you lose a lot of quality, performance, and features for not much money
Your loss to money saved is terrible
Not just hz
Literally anything over $200. There’s no real way to go wrong as long as you stick to the known gaming brands

oh, bing - whendidjoo get hear?
So, XLR8, which is better? HDMI or DisplayPort?
DP
HDMI has technically bested DP with 2.1 (only took them how many years) but DP 2.0 will immediately create a huge gap again once it’s widely adopted
The format has been around since 2017, it’s just taking time to develop alongside partners and other adopters
I thought you were gonna say that so I bought a DisplayPort cable.

looking for pc friends, if your on pc and play more then 5 games lmk, be 14-17 and be down to play alot and be from united states:)
no
Hey all, my game bar is acting weird, whenever I open it in a fullscreen game I am able to press the record button for halfa second but then it grays out and says "gaming features aren't available"
Yesterday this wasn't an issue yet, my pc installed an update today, if anyone is able to help I would greatly appreciate it
revisited Metro Exodus with my new CPU and an AMD GPU and I forgot how much Nvidia gameworks can wreck performance on non-Nvidia hardware. Having watched Hardware Unboxed's graphics optimization guide on the game I disabled tessellation and hairworks and lowered the quality setting from extreme to ultra. These tweaks can apparently expect to see a 50-60% performance increase in both average FPS and 1% low FPS. Which is HUGE
I wonder how these settings on a 6800 XT at 1080p with ray tracing enabled would do. Surely it is playable if I can get over 100 FPS on my 5700 XT under the same conditions, minus the ray tracing
probably 30-50fps
oh, 1080p.
eh, yeah. you might be able to hit 60fps in some cases. but Exodus is running older RT-implementations, so it's really just down to how well the GPU can process it
Surely more FPS than that. 100+ FPS on my 5700 XT with the stuff I mentioned. Throw those same settings on a 6800 XT that on average is almost double the performance of a 5700 XT in a lot of titles and surely it still manages to achieve a higher FPS than what I'm seeing on the RTSS OSD
so much so I'd consider upping the resolution from 1080p to 1440p
took a pic from my phone since I think I disabled the OSD from appearing in screenshots but this is pretty crazy on a 5700 XT (I think) also have HDR and radeon image sharpening enabled
just use printscreen
I don't think printscreen worked. Pressed the key on my keyboard and it didn't do anything
was getting in excess of 100 FPS though, even that picture I took shows 137 FPS at that area. My target was no less than 60 FPS so I guess I can up the resolution to 1440p already!
is the 3070 or the 3080 more worth it
3070
why
More value in terms of performance per dollar
If you want the best value, get the 3060ti
You should really just approach it from the perspective of that you have the money for
Do you have $400? Get the 3060ti. Do you have $700? Get the 3080.
@woeful bone use the LFG channel
Does anyone have any recommendations for switching from xbox to pc, or both? Never played pc before and I really want to get into it, though being a fill-time college student and a minor doesn't fit well with a full-time gaming hobby. whether it be a pre-built setup or otherwise! Any tips for getting started would be awesome, thanks :))
Don’t get a prebuilt one
No prebuilt ones are always crap get a custom built one
Aww thanks
Okay! Do you have any reccomendations or suggestions for maybe stores to look at or different components?
And ofc :))
I’m gonna follow up by giving you an actually educated opinion
If you go the prebuilt route, just be aware that the good quality ones will cost your more than building it yourself (sometimes even 300/400 or more) or if it’s a good deal, they may be cheaping out on certain parts like your motherboard or power supply. You also may just find a good quality one at a great price. You never know.
If you build it yourself, there’s some research you need to do on how to do that. If you just buy all your parts and try to put them together like legos, it’s not gonna be a good time. There’s full breakdowns on YouTube on how to fully build a PC from start to finish, usually they’re about 45min to an hour.
If you go this route, you can save some serious money and build it to be more personal in terms of function, and of course looks
You get your parts from anywhere the big stores sell them. So amazon, Newegg, b&h, etc
I recommend amazon for as many as possible because most of the other guys have big restocking fees if you need to return something
Amazon obviously does not
But first and foremost, pc gaming can be very expensive
You will spend more money over time than consoles. But your experience can be the best in the world if you put enough in. Right now I’d say if you’re intending on spending any less than $1200 for your pc, just buy a console and save your money. The next gen consoles are unbeatable for performance to value. A good $1000+ pc will just begin to match them.
@wet sluice knock yourself out
Oh, and one more thing
If you choose to build your own, make sure you spend some extra money on good parts that will last a long time and leave room for upgrading in the future. Specifically fans, the case, and your power supply
Easiest example is instead of getting an average $80 power supply, get a high wattage and efficiency power supply for like $120 and then you’ll never have to buy another one for 10 years
Rather than having to replace that $80 one 3 years from now when you need to upgrade and you end up buying that $120 one anyway
thank you so so much @surreal moss !!!!!
my favorie part of having storage, running out, now to find another ssd or wait till new ones come out

No problem 👍
@flat pasture keep it civil.
who wanna play roblox
im torn between a rift s, monitor and a dji mini 2, would vr be worth 500$? or is it still the gimmick era, the drones seemed to have past that so im leaning to that right now
never tried vr but ive seen a few games that might be interesting
Team up with other players to engage in zero gravity firefights against other teams in this upcoming first-person shooter game. Check out the latest trailer.
#IGN #Boundary
honestly the single most next-gen game ever made imo
Space FPS in unreal?
Yes, that's what it says.
team based space FPS in unreal engine 4 thats also coming to PS4 as well as PC? (or was supposed to)
Is next gen?
shows us how bad western fps type games have been
more gameplay though

Here's an official exclusive look at the upcoming Action-Shooter game 'Boundary' coming this Summer 2021 to both Playstation 4 and PC on Steam. Thanks to the developers for giving me the permission to share this. Boundary on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1364020/Boundary/

It's been in dev for a few years
just wondering, with DirectX 12 does that allow games to make use of other features besides ray tracing, like VRS or does it still require the devs to implement these other features into their game?
I'd imagine it's API bound since it'd need to be at least DX12_U title to support the API callbacks
that and im sure certain features are dev dependent
cause DX11 doesn't have the capabilities for it, so it's doubtful they'd be able to run it
oh, yeah, of course.
like not every dev needs VRS esp for low power requiring games
hmm I see. Doesn't Vulkan support VRS too? Seems a neat little feature for efficiency and to regain some performance from what I've read of it. Kind of hoped it would be one of these baked in API things that as long as the user has a GPU that supports Direct 12/Ultimate or Vulkan and has DirectX 12 or Vulkan selected in games it would just work from there sort of thing
how do we enter "game mode" when playing a game on win10?
the option is selected, so it's on.
or is it auto?
Can someone help me with an airflow question about pc?
@smoky flame not that I know of
As the implementation in DX is designed by Microsoft
np
these audio driver installs are a bit awkward now with UWP. Was so used to the old way that just worked 😦
speaking of is Realtek R Audio better than the HD one or recommend just sticking with whatever came with the motherboard
Imagine @amber mirage
How to imagine
Sigh I am sad now my speaker cable for the right one broke
https://www.techpowerup.com/277421 Hah. G Sync Ultimate isn't so "ultimate" now. Glad I never bought into that stuff. Most of those monitors cost in excess of £2000 and now they are downgrading it to allow even HDR400 monitors (with a gsync module) support for this "gsync ultimate" tier. To my understanding all it adds anyway is low latency HDR support. Similar to that of Freesync Premium Pro
NVIDIA has silently updated their NVIDIA G-SYNC Ultimate requirements compared to their initial assertion. Born as a spin-off from NVIDIA's G-SYNC program, whose requirements have also been laxed compared to their initial requirements for a custom and expensive G-SYNC module that had to be incorpora...
knowing Nvidia they won't add support for existing gsync module + HDR displays either. It will be future monitors
Gsync is hardware modules, so yes.
Hey
Hi
wth, why is my RTX 3080 stuggling with battlefront 2 on all ultra 1440p
literall 5fps. I thought rtx 3080 was supposed to run like any game, I only have HDR off, everything else it on
the audio is like, stopping, and playing, and stopping, and it plays WAYYY too early
like the dude hasnt even opened his mouth and the sentence is already over
and then he opens the mouth
how 2 fix dis?
That's weird..🤔
@floral quail servers are dying cause free
Servers don’t affect client FPS anyways. Could be CPU or heat related.
if i buyed xbox game pass does i play fh4 for free
yes
what i well get
does i get the standard eiddision or ultimate
My DMs are not a place for support.
I have a question about windows updates. Actually 2 considering what I just saw on a screenshot.
@full flint Don't take your question to my DMs
ok sorry
if i subscribed to xbox game pass in PC which eddison i get in fh4
I have a security update for Windows 1909 (KB4535680) and a to Feature Update to version 2004. Would I need to figure out a way to cancel one or the other or would it install them both correctly?
Also, my nvidia drivers are a bit out of date and I have a Nvidia - Display - 27.21.14.5671 update, does this have anything to do with the drivers or will it be some other update? I was going to update the drivers sometime after I got the system done. I got a screenshot of all these if you'd like to see them!
Go and look - https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games
Decided I’ll hold off on vr and got a camera thing instead
@carmine saddle sounds like you really need to update things
? How is this helpful?
I leave my drivers out of date because sometimes they just mess the games up, so I let them go for a bit before updating so bugs with whatever game I am playing can be ironed out.
thing is the updates shouldn't mess the games up. Stuff like driver updates are there to fix various things.
only standard edition is included in the game pass
sure
Wish I believed that but when I updated the drivers for Nvidia Reflex or whatever, I started having some issues with CoD MW. It took my frames down from 140-160 to barely hitting above 145 at times. I may have figured it out but yeah, it does break things at times.
only updates I tend not to do is anything beta or hotfix. Other than that I install every driver update as it becomes available and I can't say I've come across many issues but I am aware drivers can bring issues. What GPU you got anyway?
1080Ti, considering upgrading to a 3080 if my case can handle it.
nice
Yeah, just my issue is the way my case is and how my AIO is. I may have to switch to air cooling if they don't mess with where the RAM chips are on the board.
We talking CPU or GPU cooling? air cooling isn't all that bad. I have a 5600X that stock rarely passes 65C and a 5700 XT Red Devil on its silent bios that doesn't exceed 70C with the fans spinning from 60C
Im not sure what "eiddision " you get
Just put it into google and your all set
CPU cooling. I have a stock i7-9700k, I have a AIO that came with the PC when I got it from Cybertron before I had to switch cases cuz a wire was bad inside it and causing an error. So I picked a smaller case and then they came out with a GPU that is just a hair too big for it to properly fit. My 1080ti is right up against the back of my AIO.
yeah, you might want to consider air cooling then. Remove the AIO and it would free up some much needed space for your GPU. Doesn't have to be an air cooler too big either. Look at the likes of Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo, it's what I use and keeps my CPU pretty cool (stock too might I add)
Sounds like time for a new case
Was looking at the Noctua NH-D15
It is a new case. It's a Corsair 220T Airflow, just got it about 6-7 months ago.
Original was a Gamdias Talos P1. Never going with that brand again. >_<
Because if you go to something bigger in the future (which yes, all cards are getting bigger) this might end up being a reoccurring issue
Yeah that’s a mid tower
full tower might be a better option
And one not from Corsair
Was actually looking a cases not long ago, another Corsair one. Let me find the name of it real quick.
What's wrong with Corsair?
And I can't use full tower, it'd be to big, it needs to fit under the desk.
Most full towers are the same height, just longer
That's part of the problem.
Usually desks are a height issue
It's gonna be sandwiched between a subwoofer for my speakers and a shelving unit for my consoles. My desk is custom. XD
I'd be switching from a iQUE 220T Airflow case to a iCUE 4000X RGB Tempered Glass case. Can hold a maximum GPU length of 360mm vs the 300mm of my current one.
I'd say that noctua cooler you are looking at is excessive. As good as they are you might have issues with cooler height and ram clearance in that case you have but I'd also say buying a new case isn't something to have to do as often as you have done. I'm still using the same case I bought over 4 years ago. Everything fits nicely and I like it so see no reason to change
Well, worst case scenario is it's a case for my mom to build a new PC into. shrugs I usually get a new case when I get a new PC. The Gamdias one would have allowed easily for upgrades to be done but the wiring issue inside it made me have to switch forcibly.
My other option is to ditch NVIDIA and go with AMD and get one of their 6900 XT which WILL fit inside my case but I'd have to switch the PSU out anyway.
I really wish to get a 1tb m.2 but they’re just too pricey
6800 XT is better value. Don't bother with the 6900 XT
I want something on par with a 3080 or above.
Plus this ain't happening for a while anyway, I'm just biding my time and considering options.
the 6800 XT can throw down with the 3080, just not on ray tracing but Nvidia do have DLSS advantage
DLSS?
And I while ray tracing is pretty, it's not something that is making me want to buy it. XD
👍
something like a £300 premium on the 6900 XT for very little in terms of performance gains over the 6800 XT
Yeah, so this is me waiting for prices to drop/go up so probably within a year or so? Maybe longer, depending. My 1080ti works fine for now, I'm not in a rush yet.
Turing all over again with the 2080 vs 2080 Ti
I was gonna wait for the 2080ti prices to drop but the 3080 is better for 700 so, I am skipping the 2000 series.
3080 or 6800 XT sounds your best options really. I'm after one of either myself too. Want to push 1440p gaming better than my 5700 XT can and either of those GPUs will do just that and much like you ray tracing is not a factor
I only got 1920 x 1080 144hz monitors so I may or may not have to ditch these but, we will see.
I spent years on 60hz, I don't think 144hz is gonna be bad on one of those cards either.
I’m going to stick with my 2060 till next gen I think
Unless I get lucky with a regular 3060
I'd have gone with them but they are weaker than the 2080ti so. XD
2080 ti wasn’t as hype as it was supposedly going to be, already superseded for cheaper lol
I know.
But if I'm upgrading from a 1080ti to a new 3000, I might as well make sure it's better than the 2080ti.
On my end I only spent like 500 so I’m much better off than those guys who got the best thing
Just don’t go for like the 3090 or whatever it is is my thoughts
I just wish the 3080 was like 5mm smaller. That is literally what is making me redo all this. My 1080ti is 280mm, the 3080 is 5mm. Dx
even the 3070 is meant to be better than the 2080 Ti
Even though it's not sadly, at least not currently.
The way I see it is I can get my head around using 500$ for awhile then spending for another card but I can’t see myself spending 2k every year for the best
thing is with the 3080 you are going to want a better monitor. Whether that be an even higher refresh rate or higher resolution
3090 is good but unneeded lol
I'm definitely not doing that, Keyan. I'm going for the 3080 for price and the fact it does beat the 2080ti.
I'm looking at monitors but the ones I've found are... pricey.
heh ikr
Looking at the Asus ROG Strix XG279Q 27.0" 2560x1440 170 Hz Monitor & Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27.0" 2560x1440 165 Hz Monitor. I need 2 and they are 500-600 a piece.
Yeah take that into consideration too, iirc a 3080 is close to 1k here
I refuse to go curved either, so those are out. >.>
I could get a 3060 ti and a monitor for about that
But I think a 3060 would be all I need really
I was lucky with my monitor upgrade. Went from a 1080p 144Hz G Sync monitor that cost me £400 back in 2016 to a 1440p, 240Hz, HDR600 and 10 bit monitor for £450 last year. The 240Hz might be a little excessive but I like the monitor
With my 2060s I’m doing pretty good with 1440p, 60fps maybe not on ultra though but medium or high, depends what you want to hit
I kinda want consistent high settings so for me that 3060 seems fine
I challenge either the 3080 or 6800 XT to push my monitor to its limits! Performance I expect to be around double what I'm getting just now which will take some games from borderline playable to very playable
I do want to upgrade my display to 144hz so maybe I’ll want the 3080 too, if it can even handle that
XD I'm mostly wanting the ability to not worry about any games for a while.
I’m looking at the odyssey g5
g5 suffers from VA ghosting from what I've heard. I have the G7 and it doesn't suffer but that is thanks to the 240Hz
👀
G7 have had issues with flickering though
Well there is a significant price difference too
I have other options, I think my max would be 600
I like the curved monitors so I guess the next best would be gigabyte
Or msi
My only issue with upgrading monitors is idk what to do with my current ones. I can't give them to my mother, she has a TV on hers, I may be able to convince her though. XD
monitor market is loaded with options. I'm sure you will find something you like. If anything don't get too caught up in it all like I did 😅
I just kinda look for what I’d like, hdr, curv,2k,144+
Won’t last forever, I’d be lucky to see year 5 lol
HDR on windows is pretty poor. I can confirm that with my G7
I like it on my tv which I what I currently have as a display
Although it has some downsides
been trying to give it a chance but idk maybe I was expecting too much of the HDR600 spec or it is just Windows making it look bad or a mix but it is a shame. Really doesn't do the hype HDR receives any favours on my end imo
My panel has hdr and I have no idea how to turn it on
I never actually try for more than 60 seconds
what monitor is this XLR8?
It’s hard to notice hdr if sd and hdr isn’t side by side in all honesty
Asus PG9QN
I can see it but I also look for it
oh damn!
I notice it on my camera lcd panel since it’s also hdr
But gaming wise I forget if it’s on or not half the time
In the context of photography it matters to me since it’s better colour
think the HDR on the PG259QN is HDR400 which many consider fake HDR since it is so close to the peak brightness often found on monitors these days (350 nits vs 400 nits). Obviously HDR allows use for greater colour spaces
might just be that you enable HDR on Windows and that's it, XLR8. Monitor probably does the rest by changing to a HDR friendly picture mode that likely locks out most, if not all the settings
This thing is like a fully built non budget pc in one part
Crazy but I guess people buy it
Msrp too lol
bet the Asus Strix is like $2400 over there lol
Yeah it is
hah that was a good guess
no idea but they aren't the smartest with their money. Not like it matters to them it would seem otherwise they wouldn't be spending that much on a 3090. I can think of many things to spend $2000-2400 on and a 3090 isn't one for sure. Would rather buy a 3080 or 6800 XT and if I had enough after that an OLED TV
I’d probably save it for a car
GPU prices are inflated right now, saw an RX 5700XT on CCL for over £1,000
can't you beileve that if you play Minecraft on 4gb Ram DRR4 2400MH. an Intel Celeron N4000 and its 'intergated'' Graphics. You get 131 FPS with MAX Settings (NO Lie For real)
I doubt that. Perhaps playing at resolutions lower than 1080p it works
btw. How often do AMD release chipset drivers? by the looks of it they aren't released that often but I'm just making sure I'm not missing something with their most recent update (at least for B550) being back in October
You mean like updates for your motherboard?
BIOS is based on manufacturer
not the bios updates. Chipset drivers from AMD I mean
ahh, just thought I'd check up. I believe their latest one supports Ryzen 5000 but it was released something like 2 weeks before Ryzen 5000 officially launched
everything, as far as I can tell is up to date on my PC. From BIOS to chipset drivers, audio drivers, GPU drivers and windows
I don't install beta or hotfix BIOS/driver updates though
I install geforce updates and that’s it
I hear the latest beta BIOS update that includes AGESA 1.1.9.0/1.2.0.0 fixes a bunch of stability related issues with ram and Ryzen 5000 CPUs. Can't wait for that to go from beta to official
I wish I was rich or rather better off than I am now to the point I'd never have weeks that I have to watch what I'm spending
seems like all the new/popular games getting RT features
1440p 30 FPS 5700 XT... This screams poorly optimized!
Ray tracing is only going to get more common as the years go by. We'll eventually have games that are fully ray traced
isnt minecraft RTX fully ray-traced?
not quite I don't think. At least not to the level I'm talking. Minecraft RTX will probably look like 8 bit Doom in about 5-10 years with what is coming. Ray tracing, believe it or not is still in it's early phases
ik
barely any game had it 4 years ago
becuase it wasnt a thing at the time
like RTX didnt exist
for a while Nvidia had a ray traced shadow setting that was ridiculously demanding. HFTS. Ray traced shadows before ray tracing took off. I remember using them on The Division when I had a 1080 Ti and FPS got wrecked. Couldn't maintain 60 FPS on that game even at 1080p with a 1080 Ti! Think PCSS was similar but lower cost. Looked crap from what I remember of it. HFTS was stunning
that was ray tracing?
think so, not 100% sure tbh
and I saw somewhere that SSR is just rt but it only reflects the stuff visible on the screen, not the entire scene
and rt reflections (the full mirror ones) look like hot garbage
like they were rendered in sub-low settings
I think it all comes down to how devs implement them. Much like any other graphics setting really
i think like huge chunk render distance for reflections in fortnite would be too competitively op so thats why they lowered the range
In fortnite only, mc reflections looks so good
same with wd legions
I haven't been fortunate enough to see how wd legion ray traced reflections look but heard they are good. Kind of given up with that game though as I found it crashes a lot. Only game that does since I rebuilt my PC
F
but the reflections of skyscrapers def need a lil bit more work, like I could see a huge ferris wheel when looking back, and on a window of a sky scraper it just wasnt there
yeah, some details might still be lacking. Did you have it set to max?
nice!
and no FPS drops, ever, but cod cw with rt does get dips when dlss to qual and rt ultra
We didn’t have cards with the tech 4 years ago
Ray tracing itself isn’t new but it’s new to games, maybe it’ll be like how it is in the movies where it’s common one day in games
Real-Time RT is new
before it had to be rendered out which could take anywhere from 30 minutes to over a day depending on the render
Prob why it’s so demanding
hey
I need help with a game, I came to this channel cuz its a PC game
so, I got battlefront 2 on epic games for free and so basically, I start my campaign story, the audio is like wayyy of sync, like for eg: a person's audio is coming, but there are like 2-3 second gaps in audio very often, and the person hasn't even opened their mouth and the audio is already at the next line, why is this happening, please help
that was the joke,
heres a clip showing that
@floral quail CPU and/or memory overload
it's trying to process the asset streaming but there's not enough resources to do so
what's your specs
cpu is ryzen 3900x and 32gb ram
hmm...GPU?
3080
are your drivers up to date?
yup
v461.09
ok this other dude told me to do something in the files and its fixed
Yeah. If it’s an issue like that and everything else is fine it’s a file issue or corruption
It can vary from game to game with issues like that though
anyone else having trouble with microsoft flight simulator on the game pass?
my boot disk is a 970 Evo Plus M.2
this is just for mass high-speed storage
replacing my I: drive as it's the worst drive in my system
I'll swap F: into I: and use that for niche projects then install this M.2 as my new F:
cause existence is pain right now
I’m trying to go away from hdds
as am I
Put them in my cloud server as some storage pool of like 5tb
There’s still another 3tb in my desktop though
I wouldn't trust the cloud with important things
HDD is better for long-term storage
SSD for general storage
Oh it’s my own, and it’s just photography stuff, eats ssd storage
I guess it’s more like a file server since it’s on the physical drive
yeah. file server's the way to go
when i want to download a game i cant its tell me i dont have applicable devise linked to my Microsoft account what i do?
it hurts but im sure ill be happy
didnt realize m.2 nvme was that expensive
thats a large price increase for a rather small performance boost over a sata ssd
the difference feels huge in speed
i have both... its like a few seconds
Sata III?
yeah
huh
I have a samsung evo sata ssd, not that much slower than my m.2
my sata is around 500mb/s
max for sata is around 560, depends on the ssd
theres also 500mb/s m2s which are aruond the same price as the satas
i think the difference is mainly one has a limit by their port
well if you're transferring large files a lot, an m.2 nvme will benefit you, but if ur just getting it for faster load times, it wont be a huge benefit
if the sata ssd has dram that is
which most do
ye but like, large files, multiple gigs
sometime si transfer folders larger than this entire drive i just bought lol
Am I reading what I think I am
can I plug an external hdd (usb 3.0) into a Series X?
Yes
You won’t be able to play series X versions of things off of it
But everything else will work
but like gta v etc I can?
and series x versions on the internal?
just ordered my series x.
I have a lot off games on an external. don't want to download again, crappy net.
They’re already here btw
It’s not gonna say because you’re not on series x lol
oh?
i seen af ew, only issue is it may be doulbe the speed of my ssd i just bought but its also triple the price
Externals will work with everything except series X versions of games. It can store the series X versions, but it can’t play them
maybe one day il lget them
thanks!
The 980 series by Samsung are the good ones
I’m planning on a 500gb 980 pro once I get a rocket lake cpu and motherboard to pair
I have a bunch of 970 pros currently
Nothing but the best
Games are shifting towards SSD builds rather than HDD builds
Cyberpunk is a great example
So while you don’t notice the difference now between say 1000 and 3000, you absolutely will over the next few years
even flight simgains a few frames on an m2
this is why my main drive is full since that things like 150gb
It’s kinda like monitors. Everyone always said oh wah you don’t need 120 FPS. Then games got faster paced and their engines build to accommodate higher FPS
Now everyone collectively agrees that 144 is a significant improvement over 60
Storage is the same way
Time goes by, tech gets cheap, things get superseded.
Ram too but it’s not as noticeable
It’s very noticeable sometimes
Especially with CPUs being the bottleneck right now because of these super gpus
Your cpu and ram work in tandem. You skimp on the ram, you’re gonna bottleneck your system ez pz
I had a friend who upgraded their pc and was getting lower framerates with his 3080 than he was with his 2060
He forgot to re-overclock his ram
2133 vs 3600 makes a huge difference
i think the main thing with ram is it always speeds up every gen so its easier for some to forget about it
at least if they get a new board every once and a while
i forgotto overclock my ram, so it was just running in 2100 instead of 3200
just got more ram awhile back for flight simulator
set it to this
minecraft
Yall like ps5

WOOOOOOO!
It's back
isnt that like a pcie 4.0 SSD?
oh ok
the 970 (Evo Plus, specifically) is the fastest Gen3 from them
I remember it having a 9 at the begining so I thought it was a 4.0
970 Pros are slightly slower than 970 EVO Plus
the 9 simply means it's M.2
not always, but generally
I have a 970 EVO (not evo plus) how does it rank in the pcie 3 the ssds
in between Pro and Plus
poor P2's under extreme load as I'm dumping 600gb onto it
3 drives at once
if they were all SSDs it'd be a lot closer to IO saturation
ok
ah.
1TB evo plus with a fat double sided metal heat sink on it
It’s like the width of a C battery
Because the 3900x puts off a lot of heat to the mobo
And the 970s (and most m.2s for that matter) begin throttling at 55-60c
So with this fat metal thing on it, it never gets higher than 50
I have a 3900X but the ssd still runs rly fast
It ain’t overclocked like mine is
it'd have to put a LOT of heat out to really heat the 970 though
like....danger levels
just from the ambient
what's the board config
The board config is me telling it to remux a 125gb 7 hour recording to MP4 every night
It is though
When you’re copying files to a new container as fast as the stick can go for 15 straight minutes, it gets hot
sure, but it shouldn't be getting hot enough to throttle with a single heat shield
not judgin, just sayin that's pretty darn hot
And I don’t feel like turning that 15 into 60 because it throttles to 500
I know how you are, and I know you're the better safe than sorry builder
Wym single shield
you said you have 2 sinks on it
ah
Back is just the thermal tape + sheet of metal, front is tape + sheet with fins
i was thinking of getting a heatsink but i dont think i need one in all honesty
this is my board , everything is pretty cool and i think my first m2 actually came with a heatsink (didnt think it did picking it out)
the rgb is the heat spreader
this new one i didnt order with a heatsink though, since its a storage drive
hello, can i install mods on among us which i got from xbox game pass?
idk
What comes after local disk (Z:) lol
You meme at me but in the Latin Alphabet, after Z it switches to Greek characters. Computers don’t process that however.
Or. In a lot of cases now you use double alphabet
I name thee alpha drive!!!!
The AA drive
my m2 drive may have two day shipping, coming from a city like an hour drive away
thatd be great
guys somebody know if i can make an streaming pc whit 144 fps medium graphics whit 900$
Sure
Your stream won’t look good tho
Also 144fps medium is a vastly different requirement depending on the game
If it’s cyberpunk, that’s a 3090
If it’s halo 3, that’s a 1660
decided to pick up hitman 2 for 10$ on epic aswell
Hello, my friend is having an issue installing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Standard Edition that he recently purchased. Last night he went to install it for the 3rd time and during the install, he woke up 8 hours later while the installer was running to find out it had not progressed from where it had started tonight. Is there anyway we can get an Asobo technician to get into contact with him or issue some sort of partial refund? I would deeply appreciate any help or insights.
Guys help is done in #233805809346150400

I'm a new pc gamer, played xbox for years but now I'd like to play a new game on pc.
I love strategy games and already own aoe 2 and total wars but what are others great game I could play ? could be any genre single or multiplayer, thanks
what's popular that I must try ?
get ezzzzzed kid
I need help
I have a wireless xbox usb headset and I want to use it on pc. I can hear other people in discord, but when I talk they can't hear me.
Go to #233805809346150400
Can I buy a external HDMI input so that I can use it to use my laptop as monitor for Xbox series s?
no
How come there aren't many flat cases where you could lay a motherboard flat, similar to how it would be when sitting it on the box it comes out of. I think it would look pretty neat but I'm guessing there is some complications somewhere as to why this option isn't more popular?
sub, I have seen you post emojis of the panda in ur pfp, where do you get them, I want.
they are from a Twitch streamer's server. Though there are random servers that use the emotes too
Why would you want to
idk, mostly curious as usual. Seems like it should be able to work though maybe I'm wrong
It would be inefficient for space
The whole reason we build them vertically is because they take up less floor space
You can fit two side by side in a small space or under a desk and have plenty of leg room
ahh yeah, that explains it!
yeah, does take up quite a bit more space though height wise isn't as big
another thing I guess would be airflow. Heat wouldn't be able to rise if the door to the case happened to be at the top. Now I get why this isn't more common. Well seeing it was one of my early morning thoughts. They can be all sorts 😅
I'm having an issue with CONTROL crashing a lot, anyone know a fix?
I've tried to delete render.ini as other fixes tell me, but my PC won't let me despite being administrator

Thanks!
I had that thought once, got the same explantion as it would take more space if you laid it flat..And you won't have any leg room

@steep bobcat don't run an overclock in gpu or try and underclock
If you need to run it on dx11. You will lose ray tracing but should eliminate crashes
Underclocking won't change anything
if anything you'll get worse performance and/or more crashes.
Also, the game on Win10 exclusively runs DX11
Always fun finding dust in these
I agree to this 100%
just wondering. I have a monitor that claims to display colours of a wider colour space/gamut (DCI-P3) and I'm only now trying to figure out how to make use of it. Any advice on this would be helpful 🙂
It’s automatic usually
Either that or you’ll go to the color space option in the monitor settings. If there’s no option, it’s automatic.
I see, every chance it is already in use on the monitor as SRGB is 125% covered and I have heard that will oversaturate a lot of Windows 10 content that is in the SRGB colour space. Heard this is pretty good for a VA panel so I'm getting to like this monitor a little more 🙂
I end up turning up my desktop gamma and vibrance in the nvidia control panel anyway

it doesnt look too nice tho
I see alot of benchmarks or rtx 3080 with cod cw all ultra with rt giving 200fps in dlss performance, but I dont get 150 fps with rt on dlss performance
btw the exact card I have is a msi gaming x trio one with a 3900X and 32gb or ram, ram isnt a bottleneck, maybe CPU tho
sounds like they might OC their systems, or it might be a different bin
1440p
I actually get 80 fps and the 1440p benchmark says 140fps so I mightor might not have uhh, 1080 fps numbers,
I remember MW had a render resolution slider or something like that which wasn't set to 100% look out for that and if CW has that option and it isn't 100% put it to that. Could be you are running the game at 1440p but game is rendering that at a lower resolution
guys if u on Nvidia gpus, new drivers are out
I'm very tempted to get CW some time but idk wasn't too impressed with what I played of the beta a while back. Has player movement improved any? felt really off but that may have been just coming from MW
I play it on xbox sub and it still feels not right for a cod
I enjoy it very much, but idk compared to cod mw cuz I only played it on PS4, and only played story mode lol
and I have played ww2, but I havent even touched mp mode of it
damn £49.99. I'll be waiting for that to go down in price before I buy it 😄
idek why I enjoy updating drivers so much lol
I'm the same. Driver updates I guess are mysterious. Never know what the next one brings in terms of fixes and features. Always exciting 😄
anyways, I got cod for sale, about 30 bucks, dont remember if it was usd or £
nice, yeah. I think I'll wait for a sale like that to come up and get it at a discounted price. Probably missed a fair few chances lately but only now I'm looking for something different to play. Kind of getting bored with what I have installed which isn't good 😦
btw how big of a download is CW?
how do I check again?
btw this is with the 4K textures installed
thats the whole package, zombies, campaign, mp, 4k, everything
not bad. At least it isn't like MW or I hope it isn't where the updates were huge. That was horrible
nah, I have had like 4 or five 500mb updates since I downloaded
wait until the content updates start rolling out
How do we get the pure black taskbar? Can someone pls help
it was a error during the driver install
Thx
It might be cuz I use RT on ultra and they use it on medium

hey guys can i get some help with gsame pass
Does anyone here play sea of thieves on pc
Can someone tell me why game pass doesn’t install on boot camp windows
@full flint there’s a lot of different variables. Is the windows install up to date?
It should be
I’m using bootcamp window
I’m able to use pretty much any windows application on it, like ps now and steam
You can upload a file from the WINDOWS computer download file and extract it to main disk drive under the <📁 named OS:PC
It acts like a normal file and is suppose to work every-time
