Does have some missing eyebrows though which is a strange thing

Starfield runs at 60fps for me but I'm used to 120+fps. pray for me to get through this hard time.

#

Does the dlss mod work on gamep ass

candid flame

yeah it does

FIXED ISSUES:
Intel® Arc™ Graphics Products:
Starfield* (DX12) may exhibit texture flickering on light sources during gameplay.
Starfield* (DX12) may incorrectly render glass surfaces in the game.
Starfield* (DX12) may exhibit missing eyebrows on characters.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Intel® Arc™ Graphics Products:
Starfield* (DX12) may experience application instability in some areas of the game.
Starfield* (DX12) may exhibit corruption when using Dynamic Resolution Scaling. A workaround is to change the Render Resolution Scale slider value.
Starfield* (DX12) may exhibit low texture details on certain objects in the game.

Note this is still iterative, we aren't fully "fixed" but this should be a big improvement on crashes that consistently happened in areas that are now resolved. But there are some sporadic ones you may experience that continue as Intel (and hopefully the developer) also work on patching.

It's not really based. My 2000 dollar PC built in 2023 doesn't run it well

is fine otherwise

#

reBAR is switched off for the game which is an immediate 15% reduction, the game's overall performance is satisfactory for what's going on at one time

lmao ×2

#

lmao on your graphic card.
lmao on the game.

#

why they think

that its what cause the crashes

#

bro like tf bad graphic card cannot cause crashes

nocturne drift
#

Starfield didnt even do AMD right. made AMD gpu look good and AMD cpu look bad.

#

🤣

toxic wigeon
#

So how does REBAR work?

midnight crypt
#

Yes

pale quartz
# toxic wigeon So how does REBAR work?

it's a PCIe setting which is enabled at the driver level, it enables software to write to VRAM in large chunks up to 4GB per transfer buffer instead of the default 256MB

#

where that factors in is with high volume transfers to memory (e.g. high resolution textures, or models which have a lot of detail) which exceed the normal 256MB size, as it then has to be broken up and transferred in different buffers rather than in a single one, which is why it has such a big impact on performance for games which demand a lot of asset streaming in and out of memory

toxic wigeon
#

oooo

#

That's cool!

I reset my nvidia setting to default now my game looks like this

#

anyone know what's wrong 😦

wet notch
#

maybe you just need to verify steam files

#

or reset in game graphical settings

candid flame
#

will try to verify

#

I've tried different in-game settings, nothing works

wet notch
#

in case configs got screwed up because of your now default video settings for nvidia

#

in which case you could possibly move configs to desktop to see if game creates new ones and fixes the issue

candid flame
#

fixed it by deleting the shader cache

#

weird

it did look like a shader problem, didnt know that nvidia settings would screw with that tho

I think i broke my oc

I have no idea how

#

The problem is

The sound is gone

#

I think my pc was making rhat noise because of how hot it is

#

And my cooling started tripping

#

Because of 2042

midnight crypt
#

Not how that works

#

It was very likely just a loose cable hitting one of your fans

prime jasper
#

That could also be a option

dry pike
#

It could also be your floppy drive getting the wrong voltage from that molex connector

#

depending on the age a pc can have a lot more moving parts 😄

prime jasper
#

BRO

#

everytime I slap on my desk

#

the sounds comes bakc

#

back

#

wtf

#

I cant locate it

#

because its so fucking random

#

its like an actual sound that you like can hear as in something is banging on something

#

fast

dry pike
#

fans break sometimes, doesn't have to be something actully hitting the fan

dry pike
#

lol, sound like an alarm clock

prime jasper
#

ITS SO ANNOYING

dry pike
#

the speed is very fan like

prime jasper
#

yah

dry pike

but it's hitting something hard

prime jasper
#

yeah

#

So what happend

#

my pc

#

leaned forwards

#

and now its sometimes

#

making that noise

dry pike
#

was it running?

prime jasper
#

yes

dry pike
#

Something is hitting something, and one of the things sound like metal.

#

Can't really help that much 😄 if you can't figure it out you just have to do it the hard way and disconnect fans to see what makes it stop

prime jasper
#

BUT iTS GONE

#

IT COME AND GOES

#

GRRR

#

is it normal

#

that my graphics cards

#

fans aint running

dry pike
#

new graphic cards fans only run when the card gets hot enough, which is typically while gaming, not while idling in Windows

prime jasper
#

could it beeee

#

hmmmpm

#

that one of my

graphics cards fan

#

are broken

dry pike
#

It sounds like a fan, all are possible

prime jasper
#

man

#

im gonna rrip

#

ugh

#

such a bother

dry pike
#

A broken GFX fan is not that bad, just buy a good fan like a nocua for static pressure and ziptie it to the card and run it off the motherboard

#

if it's not under warranty ofc.

prime jasper
#

pff

dry pike
#

😄

prime jasper
#

im lost

#

man

#

I put my finger

#

in the fans

#

the sound was still there

dry pike
#

checked the Power Supply (PSU) fan?

prime jasper
#

where is tha

#

that

candid flame
#

Bring your pc to a store, let them check it for you

prime jasper
#

im pretty sure

#

idk man

#

im gonna lose my shit

dry pike
#

this is a PSU. It's where you connect power to. But don't stick anything in there, it can kill you. You however might be able to look at its fan and check from that.

prime jasper
#

Yeah

dry pike
#

But since you didn't know what a PSU was, going to a store might not be a bad idea.

prime jasper
#

Im pretty sure its that

#

Because

the noise comes from there

#

asking for a friend

dry pike
#

The .Dat filetype is probably made by the developers of the game, not unity, so it would probably depend on the game

midnight crypt

notepad++ should be able to

fading copper
#

dry pike
# fading copper its default unity safegame file

I believe the default is just a plaintext json file. Developers can name it .dat , .y or .whateverthey want. Lots of developers have just picked the same one, makes sense. .sav is also widely used.

I'm not complaining, I'm glad, but if I play Battlefield 2042 on native 1080p at max settings without motion blur and without my 1660 Ti being overclocked it stutters, laggs, fps drops and fps tanks, freezes and stuff like that, which would be obvious on max at 64vs64 players, but when I overclock it +120 on core and +1000 on memory it runs smooth and doesn't stutter? of course, I know that overclocking gives you more FPS, but that surprised me, to be honest

they're very different games

naive shuttle
#

I can if I've seen 6 full videos about it

#

I'm planning to buy it anyways

pale quartz
#

no, you can't lol, because one is a RPG story based game and the other is an actual space exploration game

naive shuttle
#

It really isn't used as an rpg story it's used more as side quests and exploration

#

So extremely similar uses

pale quartz
#

what? have you even seen starfield whatsoever? the entire game is revolved around the story

naive shuttle
#

Maybe but it is easy to avoid the main story completely

pale quartz
#

no, it's not, you can't avoid it

#

what are you talking about

naive shuttle
#

Brother

pale quartz
#

you start the game, in the main story

naive shuttle
#

Of course you start with it

pale quartz
#

you understand that correct?

naive shuttle
#

Yes

pale quartz
#

and you understand the only way to finish the game is to go on the main story?

naive shuttle
#

Yes of course but many people don't immediately go to the main story after doing the first part they go on side quests and explore

#

The main quest is usually the last priority

pale quartz
#

you don't have a choice in the matter? side quests do not open until you have reached new Atlantis, and that is done after in the first chapter

naive shuttle
#

Like I said that's the introduction which is unavoidable

pale quartz
#

no, it's not

#

the introduction, is the mine

naive shuttle
#

Okay bro don't be smart you know what I mean

#

The first chapter is the opening to the main quest

pale quartz
#

no..?

#

have you the faintest idea of the games story?

naive shuttle
#

I do not but that's not the point

pale quartz
#

that's literally the entire point, there is no "opening to the main quest '

naive shuttle
#

Yes

#

The first chapter is so

pale quartz
#

you clearly don't understand the game, but you feel you can say it's similar to no man's sky

#

you understand this discrepancy correct?

naive shuttle
#

Haha your pretty funny man. I was saying it is a very similar game exploration wise

pale quartz
#

it's not

naive shuttle
#

It is

#

You go to planets and travel through the universe and find abandoned ships

#

That's pretty much the exploration

pale quartz
#

no man's sky has procedurally generated planets for every single system in the game, starfield, the majority, are hand crafted, they are not procedurally generated outwith the usual systems

#

but again

#

you don't know the game, but keep claiming that it's similar

#

they are nowhere near

naive shuttle
#

Yet again I'm claiming it's similar exploration wise

pale quartz
#

you don't find abandoned ships in starfield, that has nothing to do with the exploration

#

what are you talking about?

naive shuttle
#

It doesn't matter if it's "hand crafted" it's still exploring planets and the galaxy correct

pale quartz
#

no?

#

it does matter?

naive shuttle
#

Yes that's what I'm trying to explain is similar

pale quartz
#

why do you think procedurally generated is used for an exploration game?

naive shuttle
#

To not spend so much time to create all of the planets

#

Or things to explore

pale quartz
#

no.. so the player has a new experience every single time.. when they play the game.. which is why it's in Minecraft, Terraria, no man's sky

#

and why it's not, in starfield

naive shuttle
#

Why wouldn't you want a new experience?

pale quartz
#

because it is a, story game

#

it is not a, exploration game

#

RPG story, fallout, not, no man's sky

naive shuttle
#

Okay I'm not arguing with you there I do believe it's a story game. I am arguing the exploration system is similar to nms

pale quartz
#

it's not

#

it is nowhere near

#

half the systems do not exist in starfield

naive shuttle
#

No shit

#

I'm talking about planet generation and features

pale quartz
#

there is no planet generation, we just established this

naive shuttle
#

Dude there is no way Starfield is all hand crafted I'm sorry

pale quartz
#

why do you think it took 8 years to develop?

#

and has 3 million words of dialogue and had a budget of $200m?

#

it didn't just come from nowhere

naive shuttle
#

Dude they did not spend all the time hand crafting planets

pale quartz
#

"they", is an entire studio, who built skyrim

#

this isn't some small team

naive shuttle
#

No shit I know bethesda

#

But I also do know Bethesda and they would not handcraft every planet

pale quartz
#

then I would have expected, given you said you had massive expertise after watching 6 videos, to have recognised that all the planets, have static names

#

and that they do not change

#

or the systems

naive shuttle
#

So it's one system?

#

That's it?

pale quartz
#

yes, one galaxy, with different systems

naive shuttle
#

That's what I'm understanding here

#

You mean one galaxy with different solar systems?

#

So there are not many planets in this game than?

pale quartz
#

yes one galaxy I'm losing neurons from this initial topic

naive shuttle
#

Alright I'm just tryin to learn about that game and fix my understanding at this point

#

Because obviously I don't know what i thought I did

pale quartz
#

all the planets, systems have static names, all of the POIs in the game are all static, they do not change

naive shuttle
#

I see

pale quartz
#

the only "generated" part that's in the game is to do with loot attributes you can acquire for weapons or other loot, that's all

naive shuttle
#

So even if you repeat the game it will be the same planets and systems every time

pale quartz
#

yes

naive shuttle
#

But it does have lots of side quests correct? And they never change as well?

torpid barn
#

hi, I want to create a dedicated community server in BF5, can u point me in the right direction?

pale quartz
#

yes there are lots of side quests and those are also all static too

#

they don't change, outwith your character choices

naive shuttle
#

And the classes you choose determine the quests you receive?

pale quartz
#

short answer yes, long answer no

#

there are some quests that are locked behind perks in the game or certain factions, and you can only get those in the case of perks per character, but factions are per game run

naive shuttle
#

And the factions are static as well?

pale quartz
#

they are

#

perks are too

naive shuttle
#

And perks determine the quests you receive too or no?

#

For like certain types of missions?

pale quartz
#

they determine some rewards and missions you can "access" without going into exact spoilers, those are more superfluous since you can create multiple characters with different perks

#

they're much more important to other systems in the game than the mission access specifically but yes they do tie in

naive shuttle
#

Ah okay thanks for the info

pale quartz
#

sure thing

light wave
pale quartz
#

yeah?

light wave
#

Would you say there's any chance of a native ATX 3.0 12vhpwr to 12vhpwr cable to melt?

#

Asking just to be sure

pale quartz
#

no there isnt

light wave
#

Even using a cablemod cable?

pale quartz
#

the adapter fails due to the extreme heat tolerances that are in check because it's not designed to handle it on the non ATX 3 standard

#

but if you're using a ATX 3 12vhpwr cable only it'll be fine, avoid cablemod just because of reputation damage reasons

light wave
#

Yeah sadly I have the cable again

#

Still* not again

#

Should I get a Corsair one just to be safe?

#

Also just had a weird BIOS corruption this morning

#

I was on the latest ASUS bios, to avoid my CPU blasting off

pale quartz
#

sure Corsair one is fine

light wave
#

System would show up QCode 15, which is for memory training

light wave
#

Also yeah, as I was saying

#

The system wouldn't POST, until I flashbacked to the previous bios

pale quartz
#

so not explicitly, the issue has is and always been the adapter, but cablemod have had a bit too many smoke filled pc cases in the last year that I can't say it's guaranteed

#

it's probably fine

#

but cablemod have had massive reputational damage so

light wave
#

Fair enough, I'll get a Corsair one next month

#

Just to be safe

#

Now I just hope my BIOS no longer shits itself

pale quartz
#

the recent AGESAs have been quite volatile in terms of memory training stability, if it works on the old one just avoid it for now

#

should be more stable in a few weeks or months

light wave
#

Yeah memory training is faster on this BIOS too

#

20 seconds instead of about 1-2 minutes

pale quartz
#

that is something that will go away as it changed endemically to increase memory performance, so enjoy it for now

light wave
#

Was tempted to just get another 64 gig kit

pale quartz
#

for DDR5 yes, it's not stable at high memory clocks

light wave
#

I assume 6000 is too much

pale quartz
#

you can have it work but anything outside 6000 wont

#

6000 is guaranteed, outwith that not so

#

if it doesn't boot worst case just reduce the clock speed I suppose, nothing inherently unstable with 4 DIMMs

light wave
#

Am I gimping performance significantly by having a kit at 6000?

#

Trying to figure out if I chose my parts decently

pale quartz
#

no you're not

#

XMP scaling falls off past cl30/6000 on ryzen as the IF downclocks from 1:1 and decouples, you're not missing out on anything

light wave
#

I'm on CL32 6000 rn

#

Eh I guess it's fine

pale quartz
#

that's totally fine, don't change it

#

you will gain nothing

light wave
#

Yeah fair, if it's not broken, I shouldn't meddle with it

pale quartz
#

get the other kit put it in and don't think about it, thinking about it leads you into extremely murky territory

#

stability is crucial with memory than performance

light wave
#

Alright so 128gig 6000 CL32 should work

#

Basically 4x32

pale quartz
#

make sure the other kit is identical in product terms, but yes it'll work

light wave
#

Yeah I was planning on getting an identical G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo kit

pale quartz
#

be very specific, in that for your kit make sure it has the exact same model name as your current one

#

you'll see it printed on the DIMM

light wave
#

Yep, I'll basically do a repeat order

#

And ask for the same part no.

pale quartz
#

as good enough as you can get to do that

light wave
#

Gotta say, those DIMMs look great

#

They kinda shit on the Corsairs I kept looking at

pale quartz
#

Corsair do dodgy shenanigans with their memory which I'm not going to get into cause I'm tired but yeah not surprising

light wave
#

Don't think I ever heard bad stuff regarding G.Skill's kits

#

So I just filtered out everything besides those

pale quartz
#

every manufacturer does it in some form even g skill, Corsair are just more extreme

#

if I start on this it's going to be 15 minutes and 3 paragraphs long and I don't have the energy

light wave
#

Btw, is 78-79C a good temp for a stress test?

#

Not sure what the temps should be on this CPU

pale quartz
#

yeah that's fine

#

anything up to 95 is to be expected

#

Cool cool, thanks Deco, and sorry for nagging you about stuff lmao

4x32 6000CL32?

#

I'm not sure your memory controller can handle that

But prob won't matter at stock

Also u sure 4x32 6000 cl32 is gonna work?

#

That's like even hard or not possible on Z790 and 13th gen with way better memory trace and mem controller.

#

yeah 4x2R DDR5-3600 is the gurantee

What would an emulator benefit more from the processor? Cores or clock speed?

pale quartz
#

those max memory clocks are for official support only with compatibility, it isn't in regards to what memory will run

pale quartz

the answer "technically" is clock speed, but it's not going to make any difference in the end result unless you are say 1GHz over normal

if the emulator is using GR libraries then cache can factor in, e.g. games, but it's rare

Since if the fan is running all the time, something is wrong with it

dry pike
# digital hill also maybe, warranty the psu

It's the fan inside the PSU. It only runs when the PSU is utilized over a certain %age which is never is so it usually never ran. The PSU has a few things connected to it like a fanhub, but when it is not connected to the motherboard I guess it just runs the fan at 100% all the time to be safe. So working like intended, just has a lot of electricity inside it to run the fan for so long.

ehh just looking right now for ddr5, 2x8, 5200mhz ram, the cheapest rgb kit i see is 30 dollars more (or 60% more) than the non rgb counterpart

and the non rgb version has better timing

dry pike
#

I live in a small country. Perhaps the limited quantity needed of non-rgb products affects the prices differently.

storm osprey
#

maybe, in usa rgb usually costs a bit more

#

which individually, sure, who cares about an extra 30 dollars for a 1k build

#

but when each component has an upcharge for rgb it adds up, which that difference could have just been a straight up gpu upgrade

think of it as a lamp - instead of a a GPU update they bought a sculpture lamp. Makes it much more palpable.

Honestly I didn't even mean to go for rgb but since my gpu came with it thought why not for the ram.

if my gpu had an rgbless version for 30 bucks cheaper, i would have bought that

If I were to consciously go for an rgb gpu I'd go for glowy glowy fans.

#

But the basic ass red and blue ones are cool enough.

if you would have to choose between the samsung odyseey g5 1000r curved 1440p which size would you pick at the almost same price: 27 or 32 inch

@pale quartz Do you know how to reset bluetooth connections on a device?

pale quartz
#

as in clear all associated paired devices?

toxic wigeon
#

Yeah.

pale quartz
#

it depends on the device, most have a factory initialisation option but you'll need to read the manual for the device, if this is the driver on Windows, you can just go to device manager and reset or uninstall the driver and reboot

With the next xbox apparently going all digital hopefully they sell an external disc drive or some dumb shit.

@pale quartz hey, i noticed on your comment you mentioned about the chipset bandwidth potentially limiting the integrated GPU. If the laptop in question has a dedicated GPU, will 2x 4TB SSDs limit that as well? Or just integrated?

iGPUs if you mean, an APU, do not link to the PCIe lane through the chipset as they are embedded, to the answer so the second question, if it has a dGPU then yes it most likely will, they are linked over the PCIe lane and use links directly to the chipset, it is extremely uncommon for chipsets that support both direct x4 links for SSDs, so the second SSD has to bifurcate other lanes which is taken from the primary one (the discrete GPU), hope that answers your question

thank you! it did. @pale quartz

Microsoft Xbox Refresh and Next-Gen leaked through FTC vs. Microsoft case documents Despite what the Microsoft team has been saying XBOX Series is heading for a refresh. The legal documents from the ongoing FTC vs. Microsoft case have included an attachment that no one at Xbox wanted the world to see, a full disclosure of […]

they learned nothing from apple's trashcan dillema

I probably will get it

The new xbox

#

Instead doing a complete PC upgrade

#

Like I have to upgrade to am5, need new mobo, new ram and my rtx 2080 and r7 3800x also gets old

sinful epoch
#

2080 is still plenty modern

#

no need to upgrade

pale quartz
#

its 2 generations old, and soon to be 3, isnt modern

molten flame
#

2080 is basically 3060 but less VRAM

#

2080 is basically a used budget GPU these days

pale quartz

no AV1 decode either

7800XT is supreme

7800xt so good

molten flame

7700XT should be $399

7700xt being 50$ cheaper is just so funny

#

like, just save 50 bucks more and get a much better card

lmao
