[storm osprey]

Could get a 7800xt, though I hear a lot of people leaving amd recently because of problems.

That would only save some 100 bucks too

[lament elk]

i also dont know how to build a pc lol

should i learn

or get some1 else to do it?

[storm osprey]

Learn. First build will take a few hours but it’s reeaaaallly hard to actually break something

[storm osprey]

So is 1500 strict or do you want lower?

My Nvidia shadowplay keeps lowering the video quality... Is there anything I can do..?

I set it to 1440p buut its always on low quality... I restart my PC and its showing 1440p but when I record something it has awful quality and its not in 1440p

Also, doesn't matter what quality I set... Its always different and lower than was set

[pale quartz]

use obs

[pallid grotto]

That makes for some reason my performance very poor

[pale quartz]

your encoder settings arent correct then, make sure the bitrate isnt too high and youre using the right preset

shadowplay will also degrade the bitrate to maintain performance if possible, neither of what configs you had were stable

[pallid grotto]

I'll look into it more detailed, but I set the OBS according to many people on Google..

[pale quartz]

these are standard settings

if you are CQP and your performance is tanking then theres not enough headroom for the encoder, drop the CQ level or the preset

max b frames of 2 and enable psycho visual tuning

[pallid grotto]

Will try it now, thanks tho.!

[pale quartz]

they're not, far from it

they are cheaper no?

[pale quartz]

depends on the product, only one that's cheaper that's worth a consideration is the 7800xt, xtx is a no buy with the 4080 super, and the rest are that underpowered that they're not really worth considering

if the Radeon product isn't 15-20% cheaper as a baseline it's not really worth it

[midnight crypt]

7900xtx is cheaper than any 4080 over here

and 7800 xt is like half the price of a 4080 too

[candid flame]

it's also cheaper here

inflated price for the 4080 super because it's a new card?

[pallid grotto]

I need serious help...

I was stupid enought to click on "Optimaze" in the Nvidia Geforce Experience as I thought that it will help... Well... Not only that it made my setting to Ultra with RTX ON which was not good as I had like 40Fps in game, but after I set all my settings back to what I had, I still lost huge Fps...

• I was playing on 1440p Medium (I had 100-130fps)

• Now I have 60 Fps with dips to 54fps.. I lost half of the Fps I had before I clicked on "Optimaze"

[twin merlin]

How the hell would u lose Fps while reverting back to same old setting huh?

I did optimaze in some other games before my self as well when i didn't like it i changed it back and it was fine

[pallid grotto]

Somehow I lost half of the Fps after I did that...

[twin merlin]

Are u sure u have ur old settings?

also i assume that u tried dlss, it didnt help?

[pallid grotto]

Yup, I have my old settings and I had DLSS On as well

[twin merlin]

Nvidia trippin 💀

I can't say much anymore since i am on 1080p moniter myself

[pallid grotto]

I guess I'll try to reinstall, but I don't think it will help

[twin merlin]

I don't think it will, but hey u not gonna lose anything from trying

just wait a bit, maybe someone else could know the issue

i would like to know myself because i will switch to 1440p myself soon

[pallid grotto]

What's your GPU.?

[twin merlin]

4060ti

[pallid grotto]

You'll be fine then

I have 3070Ti

[twin merlin]

thats not a bad gpu at all

its either the game issue or nvidia just trippin

[pallid grotto]

Yeah. I didn't had any problems until I did the optimalize thing..

[twin merlin]

well, i learnt that i shouldn't click the button again myself, Thanks for trying first 😂

[pallid grotto]

Be aware!

[pale quartz]

Geforce experience does not optimise for performance, it optimises for quality, this is why it reset everything, it will override manual configuration changes because it resets settings as it sees fit, wipe your driver and reinstall

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5519?=&linkId=100000240085402 specifically to this version

[pallid grotto]

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/25k-cablemod-12vhwpr-angled-adapters-officially-recalled-after-causing-74k-in-property-damages#disqus_thread

Safety factor of 12VHPWR is terrible

it should just be abandoned altogether

[pale quartz]

no it's not, it is for these OEM cables

the specification itself is not unsafe - the tolerances for it are tiny so it's inadvertently easy to get wrong

[molten flame]

power limit ceiling is too low in comparison to four 8-pin connectors

I don't see any 4090s going to 600 watts either tho

[pale quartz]

that's not what you're thinking

the power limit ceiling is for handling transient power, not regular power consumption

it's not a factor on 12v because the tolerances are that tight to prevent it, furthermore even 4 hypothetical 8 pins will not hit that ceiling, it's only that higher range according to JEDEC specifications (300w/cable), but the amount of manufacturers who will allow for that to happen is nonexistent, because it stands a good chance of frying the cable

you need power balancing across isolation on 8 pin PCIe because the power supplies voltage lanes do not combine together

[molten flame]

For reference on Safety Margins:

• 125% is straight out of the National Electric Code (NEC). The code specs the maximum continuous current should be 80% of rated capacity
• Safety Factors of 2x is normal for Civil Engineering based Electrical Codes

12VHPWR connector is just ~1.2x safety factor

iirc Ampere cards used the 12-pin version of the connector which didn't have all the issues that the newer 16 pin version does

or do I have that backwards

[pale quartz]

the connector and the cable are not the same thing, what you are referring to, or trying to I think with safety tolerances is the adapter for converting 8 pin PCIe power to 12v, it does not apply to the connector itself

if you are talking about the adapter then yes it is not designed well because trying to convert that amount of power through tiny pins is extremely sensitive to thermal error, but the 12v connector (specification) is separate to this

it is why ATX 3 power supplies are not susceptible to this because the specification is designed to handle this amount of power, and atx 2 power supplies have no choice unless you want to risk a fire for installating a graphics card

[molten flame]

What they probably should have been done is use the 10-pin Molex MiniFit as 12VHPWR

[molten flame]

I thought there were damages still happening with ATX 3.0 PSUs

[pale quartz]

none that I've heard of, it may have happened because at the beginning manufacturers advertised it as "atx 3" when in actuality they didn't implement the specification, a lot of budget ones did this

[candid flame]

does anyone else have this problem when you install a new nvidia driver
after I install a new driver and check with profile inspector it always says that resizable bar is disabled, even though my laptop has rebar support

don't open it when you are running a game lol

[proud frost]

bro amd cards are not it.

[celest mango]

i was watching my friend like stream on discord and he opneed up the amd adrenaline and i was like WHAT

[midnight crypt]

havent had any issues with my amd card so far

[celest mango]

the only thing nvidia cards have over amd is dlss and ray tracing tbh

every amd card gets better fps per dollar

[proud frost]

all my amd cards have been ass compared to my nvidia cards

[midnight crypt]

ass how exactly?

[proud frost]

they wouldnt perform as i wanted them, they're horrible for overclocking and adrenaline is a pos. FreeSync never worked, i had coil whine on all of my cards and ive experienced none of that with my nvidia cards

also updating drivers is horrid on AMD

[midnight crypt]

amd overclocking is a meme

dunno why you would even attempt to

[proud frost]

i like pushing my components to their limits

[celest mango]

idk adrenaline seems miles better than nvidia experience and control panel

im on a 4060 and my friends on a 4080 and our shit was broken 90% of the time

peformance issues with it, crashing, not working period, just a disaster

[proud frost]

nvidia control panet just doesnt visually look great but it does everything you could want it to

[proud frost]

im on a 3060ti for the time being but ive been on a 4080, 4060 and 3070ti and have had 0 problems

[proud frost]

never had it crash on me once

[celest mango]

you are blessed

[proud frost]

i guess

AMD was a shithole for me

from my 580 to my 6600xt to then a 7700xt and all of the cards were so far behind nvidia

[midnight crypt]

my 2080ti would regurlarly just not boot

had to nuke drivers so many times

[proud frost]

k i will give that to you

2000 series was a shithole

[molten flame]

3000 series had really bad drivers at launch for like a month

I haven't had many drivers issues with AMD or Nvidia lately but my Gigabyte RTX 3060 has black checkerboard artifacts when I'm on Youtube or any browser playing video

think that's a defect more than a driver issue tbh because it persists with every driver update

Also War Thunder gets 3D errors every once in a while, never happened with RX 6600

My RX 6600 never had any small issue, probably the most stable GPU I ever had

[pale quartz]

the problem with trying to "Nvidia Vs AMD" in regards to experience is everyone uses their own subjective experience, not the objective measurement of which one has had more issues

historically however, and it's not a close comparison, Radeon has always had more issues, it has been the case since RDNA1 and GCN, and continues to this day

[molten flame]

RDNA1 was real bad

I think there was more issues than the drivers and software

[nocturne drift]

Yeah this is why I don't count my personal experience. I owned evga gpu and had 0 problem but there are TONS of customers had rma so I sht on them.

Same as amd cpu. TONS of them degrade and bsod. I helped 11? People now

Speaking of gpu I got this 3060 for 80 bucks it's the Asus Phoenix with one fan

Surprising cool and I have like almost 190w to play with. Not even power limited at 1.1v at 2077 mhz and +1100 vram while under 70c.

I personally recommend 80 and above if you want to spend abit more. Thats for any Nvidia card.

[candid flame]

60 is fine for 1080p gaming, which is what the majority of people still use nowadays, but yeah it's not good value

[toxic wigeon]

If you're going to play on 1080 just get a 6700 or a 7700xt

[wild night]

There's a stigma with that specific card because of its price to performance value. Truth is, either one will be fine for any gaming in 1080p.

[magic latch]

u think a ryzen 5 5600g would be fine or should i upgrade cpu 2

[wild night]

If you're sticking with 1080p, it should be fine

That's a good cpu

[pale quartz]

it's not, the 5600g is terrible

it has half the cache as the actual 5600x desktop and is 15% slower, it's not a "upgrade"

This isn't quite a technology channel, but considering there is a technology issue I guess I'll answer.

Short answer, don't know. However, I had this issue when I had Origin as a launcher. Everyday I went to launch BF2 it would do exactly what you described. I put a ticket in and they couldn't find out what was causing it.

I would close the game and start it over and over until it finally launched the game

Xbox One was synthetically equivalent to a GTX 660 in raw GPU power, while the Xbox Series X is roughly equal to an RTX 2080 Super. That was a leap of above 450% so "biggest technical leap" would mean the next Xbox needs to dunk on the previous model with a GPU that's a lot faster than a 4090, which is only ~300% faster than a 2080 Super.

I’m excited to see the Xbox handheld tho. I want it.

[violet mulch]

There making a zbox this year its called silm then 2026 its pro idk about 2028

[pale quartz]

it's not a rumour

their plans were leaked from the FTC case about exactly what they're doing

[molten flame]

Zen 6 and RDNA5

Or maybe Zen 5.5

Guys, help me out
I went to 2042 and I'm playing with types 30-40 fps.
But everything is slow.
Everyone's crashing.
It feels like the ping is high.
But my ping is 26.
What do I do?

[twin merlin]

Just bad specs, or u are playing in high graphic

what does ping even do with any of that

[candid flame]

bad specs most likely

[terse glade]

Or full SSD, I had the same issue with good specs once and didn't knew you have to keep 20% of storage free

[lost cargo]

buy another or bigger SSD

Later this year and into 2025 we will finally being getting displayport 2.1 monitors able to run 8k 120/144hz monitors. The ultimate gaming monitor. Also there is no need for 12k.

Even the rtx 5090 will allow for displayport 2.1

[candid flame]

I think my monitor is dying, there's a line at the bottom of the screen in 144hz mode, when I switch to 60hz it disappears but on 144hz it's just there

[lost cargo]

Line is minor

[candid flame]

it's annoying me

[lost cargo]

If it’s annoying you, but a new monitor

[candid flame]

probably will have to get an external one next month

fuck I regret not accepting the monitor my company was offering

[lost cargo]

Oof

[candid flame]

freesync and gsync are just the same thing right

meaning I could use a freesync monitor with an nvidia gpu

[pale quartz]

yes you can

they both work across for each other

just freesync is garbage generally

[candid flame]

so they aren't the same thing then?

[quick locust]

I have old gsync that i cant use

I dont keep old stuff around, if you mean first hardware, technically it was an old t300 dual core 2ghz laptop back in the day

actual first hardware, the old Macintoshes

I was engrained with tech from a very young age, from about nursery I was given access to the pcs to mess around with and take apart, that's not a I'm better or anything, it's just all ive ever known

not quite sure where it came from, I just always had a fascination for software level architecture and other associated stuff

I hate steam

anytime a friend sends a message through steam my game crashes

even disabled notifications but didn't do anything

idk why steam has such a large fanbase, maybe because of its age

but I encounter an INSANE amount of glitches when using steam, especially errors when downloading games

steam also never fully takes advantage of my internet speed which always has chapped my ass

my xbox one even downloads games much faster

[candid flame]

do you have like a bajilion friends or something lol

[umbral crater]

Something we lack

[candid flame]

lol

some games have trouble with how they implement the steam friendlist

mw2 has like 30% less FPS on steam than on battle.net

[lost cargo]

I still achieve 240+ fps on my 2k 240hz tho

On steam

[kindred current]

what resolution do you recommend me for bf1 if i have 8 ram

[runic pendant]

1080p or 720p

[kindred current]

wait how do you see that

in my game theres only a bar

a bar that goes from 100% to 1%

[midnight crypt]

thats resolution scale

so 100% is just your monitors resolution

[kindred current]

so what i do

[midnight crypt]

i mean what performance do you want

and what do you get at 100%

[kindred current]

stuttering fps drops

[kindred current]

like actually playable

[midnight crypt]

set everything to low and render res at 75%

also if the game is set to run dx12

set it to dx11 instead

[runic pendant]

Do pagefile

[kindred current]

thats just disabling the dx12 thing right?

[midnight crypt]

yes

[kindred current]

and this is in the resolution scale bar?

the render res

[midnight crypt]

yes

[runic pendant]

Pagefile can help with stutters also.

[kindred current]

whats that

[runic pendant]

As u have 8gb also

[runic pendant]

Virtual RAM provided by disk. Ssd only mostly

Can help with 8gb/16gb

[kindred current]

how do i put that

[runic pendant]

https://youtu.be/v6A2clXcC9Y?si=Sn8yi2s2-8KzFFrz

Tell me If u are on the pagefile. 14000-24000 nr type in

Make sure your ssd has enough space

[kindred current]

how much i need

[runic pendant]

24gb

[kindred current]

im good then

[runic pendant]

Yeah are u in the pagefile page?

[kindred current]

wait bro but im on laptop

will it be dif

[runic pendant]

no

Windows 10/11 same on laptop

That wasnt best tutorial but

[lost cargo]

Minimum required Ram for gaming is 16GB

[runic pendant]

Thats why i recommend him pagefile

[lost cargo]

What’s pagefile?

[runic pendant]

Wait u guys dont know?

If u lack of RAM (physical Memory). Pagefile can help with that. SSD drive space to Virtual RAM

[lost cargo]

Is it actually useful for gaming. Because honestly I rather use the ram in my PC more.

[runic pendant]

That is useful. If u have low RAM.

[lost cargo]

Mmm 🤔

[runic pendant]

You know "Star citizen" game?

[lost cargo]

Tbh idc but I have 32 GBs of ram. Just asking lol

[lost cargo]

Yea

[runic pendant]

I see i see.

[runic pendant]

Its requirments are now 16gb plus pagefile.

As game takes 28gb of RAM at 4k.

At 1080p 24gb most

[lost cargo]

Oof 😅

[runic pendant]

[lost cargo]

[molten flame]

Wow

there's a few games where the 5600X3D beats the 5800X3D by a good margin

5600X3D gets higher core clockspeed than the 5800X3D

In theory, even a 4-core 5300X3D (doesn't exist) could beat the 5800X3D because of clocks

[pale quartz]

no it wouldn't because a ccx is made up of 8 cores, and one with 4 is not a ccx anymore

that's why there will never be a 4 core "x3d"

you would never make a complex on 4 cores it makes 0 sense, it would always be monolithic

only zen 2 has 4 core based CCX's

[quick locust]

Zen 2 x3d

[pale quartz]

[toxic wigeon]

3600x3d

[runic pendant]

[molten flame]

Wonder if AMD is gonna make a new gen of motherboards for Zen 5 or will they just do bios updates for current gen ones

[toxic wigeon]

Why do you question that? Isn't it normal to do it?

[lofty light]

Normal to do which one

They end up needing to make a new socket type if the bios can’t support that many cpus right

That’s why motherboards only support a couple of generations or so

[pale quartz]

no they will do both lol

zen 5 is on AM5, there is a new chipset coming, and BIOS updates will be released to support compatibility

[pale quartz]

the socket isn't the generation, the generation is just the chipset, the (number revision) is separate to the socket of the board itself

[lofty light]

They swap both at the same time normally right?

[terse glade]

Zen6 will be on AM6

[pale quartz]

assuming a new generation is coming out yes however this doesn't mean a certain one specifically, socket support is designed around the first initial stages of a processor generation, it's different to physical hardware support as the AGESA also has to be compatible

[pale quartz]

no, no one knows, it could be AM5 or it could be AM6

it depends if they want to support DDR6 or not, if the answer is yes it will be a new socket, if not it will retain AM5

[dry pike]

Guessing AM5 doesnt have unused pins then?

[pale quartz]

there are grounding pins on AM5 too, the pins aren't embedded in the processor, it's in the board (LGA)

[ivory creek]

the am4 sockets come off so much easier than intel cpus sice they dont have that frame around them

so u have to be careful when u mount a cooler

i find that kinda annoying

[dry pike]

So guess in theory, they could upgrade the socket to utilize more pins in the future.

[pale quartz]

yes, typically this is done for higher power limits than the pins are designed for

[old python]

Do nvme ssd still block 2 SATA ports?

[ivory creek]

i think it depends on your motherboard?

i think my b550 does something like that, but my x570 didnt. dont remember tho

[old python]

b350

I suppose the B boards have that limitation

[ivory creek]

ye the b motherboards got more limitations

but theyre also alot cheaper

[pale quartz]

chipset lanes, yes if fully occupied, the only chipsets which have full PCIe support (X4) and for SATA are x570 or x670 boards

[molten flame]

Nice, I was just hoping they weren't gonna do what they did with 5000 series and update older generation motherboards with new firmware. There were so many headaches caused by Ryzen 5000 launch because 500 series motherboards were originally launched with 3000 series, leading to many users to have to update BIOS which is inconvient for many new builders that didn't have older gen CPU to update the BIOS with.

problems like that are why I like Intel

[pale quartz]

yes, in that situation the 300 boards were explicitly not promised support, zen 5 is guaranteed to be supported on current 600 platforms

[molten flame]

AMD needs to lean towards user-friendly, or rather plug-and-play ,and not towards using older chipsets to save R&D cost

[pale quartz]

?

[molten flame]

good thing they are releasing new chipsets for Zen 5

[molten flame]

I hoped they were gonna release new chipsets for Zen 3 with out-of-box compatibility

Zen 3 and 500 series chipset was a huge mess

[pale quartz]

zen 3 was a EOL platform

and they did release chipsets with OOC

[molten flame]

I got a Rev 1.1 Gigabyte X570SI that came out after Zen 3 launched but ironically, it came with a old bios that didn't support Zen 3

huge fail on their part

[old python]

I mean, I have used up all 4 slots

my next upgrade would be nvme as my main

[ivory creek]

i dont use my old sata hdds anymore since i got ssds

the difference is that big

so its not worth it

but if u need more slots idk what to do

[old python]

Well I tend to store large media in my HDD

And old games too!

[ivory creek]

fair enough

[old python]

assuming I would still buy a modern B board for next upgrade, ima need larger capaccity for both SSD and HDD

like 1TB nvme, 1 or 2GB sata SSD, and 2 TB HDD

[ivory creek]

ye as i can see it 2tb nvme drives have the best price but if ure in tight when it comes to slots i guess its better to go all the way to 4tb

so u get more space per slot

[old python]

or if im lucky on finding a good value of used X boards

I can enjoy all slots

[fallen harbor]

hai

sorry this isnt actually related to battlefield nor hardware, but i have a laptopt that every time I turn it on it has its legacy boot disabled

and I have to enter the bios to enable it every time in order for it to be able to boot windows

anybody knows how I can fix this?

I can't find anything about this on google

[ivory creek]

do u really need legacy boot? i just switched to windows boot or whatever and it worked from there

im not good with the terms tho

[fallen harbor]

hmm, i dont know. All i know is that if i enter the bios to enable the legacy boot, it boots fine

the actual literal process is this

it says there's no operating system in the drive (there is)

I enter the bios, activate legacy boot and then it recognizes the operating system

I bought a new drive and installed a brand new instance of windows and that still happens

[ivory creek]

i just installed windows 11 on my nvme and it worked, idk but other tho. hopefully someone else can assist

[candid flame]

He's probably on windows 7

[fallen harbor]

it's windows 10 pro 64 bit

but the laptop might be old

maybe not built for it

but idk

i just want to be able to enable legacy boot for good

because that does the trick

[pale quartz]

tldr you cannot

[fallen harbor]

but it always goes off

[pale quartz]

legacy boot is a option switched on for non-GPT (incompatible with UEFI) drives, it isn't possible to permanently enable as it is a compatibility only option, if you want to fix the issue youll need to reformat the drive to GPT so legacy boot isn't needed

your current partitions are in MBR, they need to be changed to GPT

[fallen harbor]

oh

tyvm

I understand I have to reinstall windows by doing that. Do I have to choose GPT partition during the typical windows installation via usb or can I do it in other way? Can I do that without an usb?

cause it's a friend's pc and i don't have my windows 10 drive with me rn heh

[pale quartz]

no you need to wipe the entire drive, it isn't possible to just use a windows ISO boot procedure

[fallen harbor]

so I need a windows 10 iso on an usb and choose GPT during the creation of partitions in the installation menu?

[pale quartz]

the windows ISO installation uses a upgrade procedure which relies on a GPT drive existing, it cannot do MBR conversions

[pale quartz]

yes

and the other partitions will need to be deleted first

[fallen harbor]

i see

[pale quartz]

you cannot install windows 11 on that drive currently since it isn't in GPT format, if you're going down that route just use the ISO for windows 11 instead

[fallen harbor]

oh i dont plan on installing windows 11 anyway

it's a very old laptop

idk if it can take it

ill just try to install windows 10 again by removing the current partition and creating a gpt one

[pale quartz]

be aware that means all your partitions, so all the data will be deleted in the process

[fallen harbor]

yeah i bought a new drive last week and already had to move everything

[pale quartz]

gl

[fallen harbor]

so it doesnt have almost anything rn

Nvidia is only successful because of manipulation

[lost cargo]

Nvidia have better features and more than AMD kek, the quality is also better

[molten flame]

Do you know that with each release of new AMD GPUs, Nvidia sends a paper on "how it is recommended to set and which games to use" for comparison with its GPUs?
Do you know that 90% of the games used in the reviews are sponsored by Nvidia, and therefore use PhysX, which is an arbitrary "limiter" that Nvidia inserts into all the games it sponsors?
Do you know that AMD promoted the RX 7900 GRE to the press to contrast the non-Super 4070 and all the media instead compared it to the 4070 Super?
Do you know that the world of marketing has always worked like this and that the consumers don't even perceive these things, that's why they work commercially, even if they are at the limit of the law?
Do you know that Nvidia has funded all the general media for 3 years to talk about AI in every way, every day, hammering the public, even those who don't even know what an AI is, just to inflate a market that doesn't exist?
Do you know that Nvidia doesn't have an AI product, but only generic HW for generic AI?
Do you know that Nvidia just changed the version on the CUDA framework to make it incompatible with ZLUDA and wrote a license that prohibits the use of ZLUDA?
Do you know that if Jensen spent over 1 billion on this marketing operation, today his title is inexplicably valued at several trillions of dollars, on IPs that are not as limited as video game graphics, but which are still yet to be discovered?

i found a way to get movie mode on pc, i changed the settings of my pc input from pc to home entertainment system

now movie mode was an option

it looks better but only 60hz and delays

lol

[runic pendant]

[candid flame]

quick question: can I get more than 144hz on an external monitor with a HDMI connector

[ivory creek]

doesnt hdmi 2.1 support up to 240hz in 1080p and 120hz in 4k?

and i guess 60hz in 8k

[candid flame]

hmm

just got my 165hz monitor but I can only select up to 144hz

yeah from the spec sheet it says I can only get 165hz with dp connection

don't have that on my laptop

oh well

[ivory creek]

ah that sucks

ure gonna return it?

[candid flame]

nah

I will just keep it until I get a desktop or another laptop

I can create a customer resolution and set the refresh rate to 165hz but I don't think it applies

using a refresh rate tester online it only shows my monitor is running at 126hz

I am so confused

[pale quartz]

no, the port on the monitor isn't hdmi 2.1 in this case and won't support the bandwidth, the discrete GPU on the laptop also has to support it

[candid flame]

it's a 3060 so it should support it, but I'm afraid the hdmi port is not 2.1?

I'm running at 125hz now, but this monitor should be able to get 144hz on hdmi

[ivory creek]

the 3000 series should have hdmi 2.1. the monitor might not tho?

[candid flame]

so I guess it's the laptop's fault

[pale quartz]

monitor manufacturers are not obligated to use the highest connectivity port and they won't for cost saving measures where it needs be, if it doesn't list 165 o/ hdmi on the specification then it's going to be 2.0 or lower, you're out of luck

[candid flame]

yeah it lists 144hz with hdmi and 165hz with DP
but I am not even getting 144hz with hdmi

[pale quartz]

laptops use vsync even on external monitors, refresh rates do not function the same, they use a set figure because a dedicated module is necessary to switch between them, it's not like a desktop

you won't get 144 all the time, it will adapt itself as it feels is necessary

[ivory creek]

ah thats new to me

cool

[candid flame]

oh

[pale quartz]

it also depends if it has switching (a mux) between the iGPU and discrete GPU for the display

[candid flame]

is this hdmi's vrr?

[pale quartz]

no

[lost cargo]

You have have to run DP. Some monitors HDMI caps it self for Hz. But DP always achieve higher Hz.

[pale quartz]

variable rate shading is only for 3D applications, it has nothing to do with just sitting at the desktop or a browser etc

[candid flame]

there's no dp on my laptop

[lost cargo]

Oof

[pale quartz]

laptops can't dynamically adjust the refresh rate without a mux switch, there are workarounds like CASO, but you'll need to be on the insider developer track of windows 11 to use that currently

it's not out on the stable build

[candid flame]

Oh I think I have freesync turned on

[pale quartz]

don't turn it off

you gain nothing from having it off other than increased power draw

[candid flame]

nope, it's not it, I just tried turning it off and it doesn't change anything. I don't think it even works via hdmi on an nvidia gpu

[pale quartz]

^

[candid flame]

I'll look into it, thanks

[pale quartz]

if you want it to switch then you'll need to sign up for the insider track

(and no it won't be coming to windows 10 or below)

[candid flame]

it says minimum requirement is 11th gen intel cpu

I have a 10th gen

lmao

[pale quartz]

yes you need TPM support for windows 11

[candid flame]

I think it has tpm support

[ivory creek]

i read that later updates of w11 will introduce requirements of cpu instructions thats simply not there in really old cpus

so it wont work no matter what

[candid flame]

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/optimizing-hybrid-laptop-performance-with-cross-adapter-scan-out-caso/

found this devblog which says caso is already in the live build of w11

[pale quartz]

must have missed it, but yeah you can use it if you have windows 11 in that case

appears as this option

[candid flame]

nice

I don't have that option sadly

[pale quartz]

if you have tpm 2.0 you should be able to get windows 11

[candid flame]

but hey I set up a custom resolution, set the refresh rate to 165 and did a restart and now my monitor is running at 165hz

[pale quartz]

just make sure secure boot is on aswell

[candid flame]

I have secure boot off I think, so I can use throttlestop

and the throttlestop guy said he won't update the software to make it work with secure boot on

[pale quartz]

ye you'll need it on, SB is mandatory

[candid flame]

it is what it is

don't know which has caused my fps in mw3 to double but after I switched to an external monitor and installed a windows update I now have over 200fps instead of just 100

[turbid verge]

inb4 the game resolution scale is down 50%

[candid flame]

if that's the case I don't want to know

Wooting build done

[lost cargo]

[ivory creek]

i wanted a wooting but their waiting times were too long so i went with another brand

[storm osprey]

id only get a wooting keyboard if i were top 5% of any games ranked population

even then id bet there wouldnt be any performance difference

[candid flame]

The SUPREME of keyboard

[lost cargo]

https://youtu.be/LfpXMuMvcWQ?si=FRP-8xIuWxhBanqe

[twin merlin]

Linus is back at it again

[storm osprey]

not exactly, the wooting does actually have a lot of performance built into it, but just not really worth it for anyone

[deep inlet]

that is quite debatable if its „worth“ it or not

what would make it not worth buying

[kindred current]

crazy

[candid flame]

performance metrics on a keyboard is silly tbh. To me it either works or it doesn't

[deep inlet]

hm its noticeable for sure

[ivory creek]

is rtx hdr looking better than auto hdr?

[pale quartz]

yes

it's significantly better

[ivory creek]

ah ill try it then

thanks

[pale quartz]

[storm osprey]

The price tag for .2 seconds faster switch inputs. Which will not matter for 99% of people.

[deep inlet]

RT is pretty nice, I enjoy it a lot it feels a lot more consistent

[storm osprey]

I’m talking about wooting keyboards

[deep inlet]

but yea if you are on a budget and like feel/sound go with mech

[deep inlet]

well so you are not opposed to other HE boards just wooting?

[storm osprey]

This is getting out of hand. Someone called it the supreme of keyboards, but I said there is actual performance in the keyboards so that’s not fair. I just don’t think it’s worth the price for the performance.

[deep inlet]

huh I was just wondering. if you think the wooting is over priced then yea I agree, but its not a bad product. I mean you can get the atk68 from ali express for 100 usd

its 2ms difference

way better value

[pale quartz]

yes but the problem is the wooting clone brands are significantly compromised compared to wooting itself in the execution of the same feature

it's not a unfair opinion, they're pretty expensive

I was going to get one myself but the delay time was more annoying than not

[deep inlet]

oh yea its not in the same ball park esp with consistency etc

thats why I got the wooting after owning other he boards

[deep inlet]

i got the module it arrived in 3 days

[pale quartz]

the others clearly saw what wooting was doing then went hey we need that or we don't have a selling feature and tried to rush to market, even steel series of all companies has major defect issues with their keyboard version

[deep inlet]

the atk68 is actually good tho

like i used it

its good and probably best „cheap“ HE board

[pale quartz]

with keyboards good isn't good enough though, minor hitches or issues become much of a problem compared to say a mouse

and why all the others are flawed in one way or another

[deep inlet]

the atk isnt flawed tbh

its like saying any keyboard is flawed that isnt a wooting

the wooting is flawed with terrible typing feel and sound

it has good firmware

[pale quartz]

I mean for why you are considering buying the wooting in the first place

it's a price class where even cheaper competitors can't have flaws

[deep inlet]

because it has the best performance but it doesnt mean other boards that are cheaper are not worth the money

[pale quartz]

ofc not, they can definitely be worth it

but if they are there are strictly better keyboards half the time, than those specifically for the price class, they just aren't HE

[deep inlet]

ye

i mean the Takka60 is gonna nuke the wooting in every regard

until the he80 arrives

or a refreshed 60

if you got stock vs stock

[old python]

I got a decent budget for next GPU

I have 1060. I mainly use this for AI upscale stuff, but I wont say no to games

any thoughts?

[candid flame]

7800xt, 7900 gre, 4070 super

[old python]

now now, i said decent budget, not super

and this will bottle my r5 1600

[candid flame]

get a better cpu first

[old python]

you sure? I think my cpu is just fine on what it is doing

[pale quartz]

ideally you want both but yes zen 1 is really bad for performance

its equivalent to a 6th gen intel processor in ipc

[ivory creek]

so i just read that rtx hdr can have a performance hit of 15-20%. is it really worth it over auto hdr then

[pale quartz]

auto hdr has a performance penalty too, it just depends how heavy its enabled specifically in a game

[ivory creek]

alright

[pale quartz]

if you want to use hdr youre not going to notice the hit tldr

[ivory creek]

my 3090 can just hit 60fps with max settings 4k dlss quality in some games, i dont wanna go under that

[pale quartz]

youll need to test where it impacts most, can always turn it off anyways

[lost cargo]

Lower res equals more performance

NIS ftw

[ivory creek]

5070ti when so i can play games in 120hz 4k?

[lost cargo]

4090 can in most games

[ivory creek]

ye well im not paying for that

[lost cargo]

I’m waiting till 5000s drop

[ivory creek]

5070ti 16gb would be perfect

[lost cargo]

So I can get the 5080

[storm osprey]

how do you figure this?

[lost cargo]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/29/24086443/microsoft-directsr-super-resolution-api

[pale quartz]

cause a keyboards, well keys are sensitive in terms of its interaction with switches it means if there's any issues they become a lot more noticeable than not, there's how many keys are in the alphabet + the number keys + optional keys that people use for typing, so if there's something like a stuck letter switch it becomes a lot more of a hassle than say a side button on a mouse

people typing in terms of it being second nature also comes into that in that if it becomes disrupted you'll immediately click on, pun intended

[ivory creek]

i got this optic roccat vulcan tkl pro, im happy with it

rtings doesnt have the tkl pro reviewd tho, only vulcan pro fullsized and the roccat vulcan tkl non pro which isnt optic. so im unsure about the latency

[pale quartz]

techradar does https://www.techradar.com/reviews/roccat-vulcan-tkl-pro-gaming-keyboard

[ivory creek]

according to rtings the vulcan pro got a wired latency of 0.7ms while the vulcan tkl got over 11ms

so i hope mine is like the vulcan pro

[ivory creek]

the autotest programs are innacurate apparently and theres no way i invest in a highspeed camera and stuff to try it properly myself. so i guess i wont know

it feels good tho

tempting...

thats a really good price, cheapest i can seem to find here is around 870usd

but then again when did stuff take off and become so expensive? there were times when 800usd would give you a whole really good computer

[old python]

do I need to like uninstall my current GPU driver before upgrading?

[storm osprey]

DDU or windows clean install

[old python]

OS reinstall??

[storm osprey]

ye

[old python]

hell nah

that cant be right

[storm osprey]

i personally just reinstall windows every once in a while

[old python]

I just did last december

[storm osprey]

its just what i do since its easy for me

fast download speeds, no data cap, no important files, etc

[old python]

ill just go download DDU

also, im not switching brand

I still require DDU?

[storm osprey]

afaik no, as long as you are moving up in drivers

[old python]

like upgrade to new gen, not downgrade?

[storm osprey]

newer drivers

[old python]

hm

I suppose it is necessary if its a big jump in architecuter

like gtx 10 to rtx 20?

[storm osprey]

i would just try to get the latest drivers and if you have problems then use ddu

[old python]

ill soon find out what would happen

as for CPU, I simply swap it?

I alos have the minimum BIOS verson for supporting cpu

[storm osprey]

assuming everything else is compatible yea

[old python]

Do you suggest replacing component one by one to test, or replace all 2

[storm osprey]

id just do all at once, unlikely something actually goes wrong

[old python]

Yeah alright

I'm a little nervous about doing the CPU cooler

[storm osprey]

if youre only swapping 2 components its easy to troubleshoot too

[old python]

I fucked up the heatsink installation last time

Don't ask how. I was a super noob

[storm osprey]

lol i was about to

[old python]

I somehow fucked up the 4 corner equalization

[old python]

If things work, does GFE detect a new driver? Or do I go to the site and download it separately - something

[storm osprey]

i dont use GFE but i imagine it will give you the latest driver to download

[pale quartz]

yes, Nvidia drivers are not universal like Radeon so if you have a new architecture of card you will need to remove the current one, just use ddu, insert the card and install the new driver, that's all

don't overcomplicate it

in terms of Geforce experience use this instead https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/software/nvidia-app/ it will be replacing GFE and the Nvidia control panel with a singular piece of software

[candid flame]

uses windows 11
wants to uninstall Edge

lmao

[pale quartz]

you can in the eu

[candid flame]

yeah but it's still dumb

he wants to use chrome instead

Edge is so much better I don't get why they are so dense

[toxic wigeon]

Why only in the eu

That's so annoying.

[pale quartz]

due to the digital markets act

Microsoft is considered a gatekeeper so they are forced by law to unbundle their software as is apple and Google

[toxic wigeon]

I mean in a way I was aware.

But it's so annoying outside of the eu we're cucked out of it.

[pale quartz]

gotta have xyz government pass a similar law if you want it there lol

[toxic wigeon]

I'm more annoyed at that only people in the eu can do it

Why should we be exempt from it, etc.

[pale quartz]

why would Microsoft apply it worldwide for a region that they're only legally forced to do it in

[toxic wigeon]

I'm pretty much trying to say I'm more mad that the only thing that compells them to do this shit is a law and they don't give those outside of the eu an option at all.

[old python]

One more thing to ask.
If I use a GDDR6 card on last gen slot board, does it hamper performance?

[pale quartz]

the type of memory does not influence performance, the PCIe specification does

[lofty light]

The midrange modern cards still won’t max out the pcie gen 3 right

[pale quartz]

not exactly, it's not about maxing PCIe bandwidth as some are bandwidth gimped so it's impact is variable dependent on the card itself

and the game itself

[old python]

Im getting the 2070

[brave sundial]

Yeah which is why something like iMessage is being left alone here while WhatsApp is targeted. Barely anyone uses imessage here
