technology

[midnight crypt]

so running way above intels spec is somehow better

[vernal pendant]

they kept posting benchmarks outside their own recommended configuration so i don't really feel bad when it gets thrown back at them

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/galax-releases-noisy-rtx-4060-ti-max-a-single-slot-gpu-with-16gb-memory

thinnest 4060Ti but it's also the loudest by far

52 dBA

[candid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/592333-dog-doggo-chihuahua-stare-gif-17939115

so like one of these

[molten flame]

louder than the blower fan on a 1080Ti founders edition

[dry pike]

If you only have room for a tiny PC but have it running in another room, I can see it's purpose. It's niche, but still.

[molten flame]

imagine water block on 4060

I remember a company made water blocks for 1050Ti and 1650

[pale quartz]

no it is a motherboard issue, vendors like Asus enable settings like unlocked power limits by default on the board and MCE to 'increase performance' when they actually degrade the chip, this profile doesn't even conform to it either, it's not a intel issue

it ends up frying/degrading the chip because to sustain those targets you need to massively overvolt the SoC and core to maintain it without crashing, the vendors are solely at fault here, intel is so far as they don't force vendors to use their stock settings, which they should do

regardless how you feel about intel or AMD performance is only measured by them at their own settings, not board partner ones, which is why it is deceptive/borderline fraudulent to end consumers

[molten flame]

Vendors do it to look good in benchmarks and reviews

[pale quartz]

mainly it's for advertising reasons, it's difficult to differentiate your board vs another if performance is identical (at stock), so they do these sorts of stunts on purpose because of it

it's part of a wider problem and why "overclocking" bs needs to be stripped from end consumer chipsets entirely

[molten flame]

motherboard vendors push some AMD CPUs too hard as well

[pale quartz]

it's done regardless of the vendor

you only see it on KS or k processors the majority of the time because of its voltage efficiency curve

[molten flame]

Gigabyte X470 motherboards were pretty nasty with voltages when using the 2700X

[pale quartz]

ultimately with nodes becoming increasingly sensitive to voltage vs clocks we're heading in a direction of overclocking being removed entirely from end consumer platforms, but it should have happened 5 years ago, nevermind soon, too many morons reading Reddit guides and other nonsense about stuff they don't understand to end up slowly frying their data in the pursuit of 3% higher numbers

[quick locust]

Asus BBQ

[pale quartz]

Asus are the absolute worst for it

it's actually obscene that people still buy these overvolted boards

mainly this is why I despise "gaming" branding and the nomenclatures that go along with it because it appeals to a stereotype of consumer who think they're edgy with flashy lights and unlocked limits, when all they're doing is wondering why their windows no longer boots after a year

[quick locust]

Extreme Gaming Strix TUF OC RGB

[molten flame]

that's why I've always had mid-range builds

[quick locust]

At least GPUs seem to limit it more (well, not in naming or marketing or RGB spam)

[molten flame]

high-end stuff is too tacky

I don't want a system drawing 700 watts that can heat my room up just for playing a 15 minute match of Battlefield

[pale quartz]

if GPUs don't limit it then the entire display will die a fast death, Nvidia do it intentionally because they're well aware AIBs will set 600W limits if given free reign to do what they want

Radeon not so much, mostly lock the settings at the bios level if they're doing that

[quick locust]

I totally did not put a 2000W limit on my 2080 ti

[pale quartz]

casual transients of 3000w

[quick locust]

Not that I got over 550W usually

[pale quartz]

Radeon can get away with it because a consumer who will consider them are those of a power user, normal consumers don't even know/consider anything but Nvidia for the GPU department

[quick locust]

Me with neither

[pale quartz]

[quick locust]

And yeah met too many that either don't know what radeon is, or just claims they have driver issues so they never buy any

[pale quartz]

understandably

why i sold the xtx at the end of the day

[molten flame]

I might consider Battlemage but I heard it has just 2x more cores than the A780 so realistically it's likely not even competitive with a 4070

[pale quartz]

radeons problems are two fold, they can't compete at the high end and intel is coming to consume the budget GPU segment which Radeon currently occupies

[quick locust]

Kris has the secret A780

[molten flame]

yes

the Sapphire A780

[pale quartz]

XeSS is already better than FSR and this is very dangerous for them

[quick locust]

Ya

[molten flame]

there was a rumor Nvidia making their own open-source upscaler as well

[pale quartz]

lol never happening in a million years

[molten flame]

[molten flame]

ngl it was a very big pill to swallow for Jensen to accept FreeSync support

[pale quartz]

the idea that Nvidia is going to open source DLSS, the blackboxed binary is something enthusiasts tell themselves with "rumours" because they're stuck in fairyland

when they think they have any power when Nvidia rule this market

[quick locust]

Need AMD to accept XeSS /s

[pale quartz]

it wasn't, cause gsync came first, it's literally nothing

[molten flame]

Nvidia had to support FreeSync in the end because FreeSync monitors dominated the market

[pale quartz]

yes because monitor AIBs didn't want to pay a surcharge

but this is literally nothing in the grand scheme of things

[quick locust]

Now we just need to get rid of hdmi

[molten flame]

USB4 for life

[dry pike]

I would not say that. Nvidia doing good things are directly proportional with their shares of the market, - could be less years than a million if the competition ramps up 😄

[pale quartz]

Nvidia own 80%+ of the market, and that percentage is increasing, they compete with their own products, not intel or Radeon, this hopium argument that Nvidia are going to open source DLSS has existed since turing, and is a denial of the current state of the GPU market

[molten flame]

AI has made Nvidia a bigger market shark than major industry leaders like Apple and Microsoft

[pale quartz]

their gap over everyone else is increasing and widening as time goes on, it's not getting closer

[quick locust]

https://tenor.com/view/gamers-nexus-nvidia-3080ti-gpu-money-printer-gif-21792843

[dry pike]

Sure, but you said "million years". I can see Nvidia fucking it up in 10 years. It's not likely, but not impossible.

[molten flame]

Nvidia will probably overlap Apple and Microsoft in overall market value in just a couple more years

[pale quartz]

million years is obviously hyperbole

the way things are going Nvidia have already outsized their place in the GPU discrete market, they are no longer the company that existed even 3 years ago

it's only a matter of time until they try to consume markets they don't already occupy, mainly processors and the rest of the computer integration market, they're already starting in enterprise, consumer is next

[molten flame]

Gaming is now Nvidia's least profitable sector, when about 6-7 years ago, it was their main revenue

Cloud/datacenter/AI is much more valuable than GeForce

gaming GPUs are pretty much just a waste of silicon

[quick locust]

At least they open sourced kernel driver

Now they need to open source their UMD

[pale quartz]

they needed to do open source before of enterprise, they couldn't give a single care about it for consumer

it's been something people have been saying for over 5 years that they're? going to open source DLSS.. insert xyz magical reason that they'll buy the competitor if not, eventually people need to wisen up

[quick locust]

They buy Radeon then close it

[pale quartz]

yeah they all say they'll buy Radeon notice the feature disparity then change their minds

even if you're being kind RDNA is at least 3/4 years behind them currently, it's not even in the same league

[willow schooner]

So I found a workaround to the RTX HDR thing since I use 2 monitors. If I just plug my secondary screen into motherboard DP, It has no issues just working with 2 screens.

[molten flame]

AMD only came close to RTX 3000 series with RDNA2 because of Nvidia using awful Samsung 8nm

[pale quartz]

the discrete GPU market is unfortunately a sad state and it's getting worse as time goes on, Radeon don't even have Anti-Lag+ relaunched yet and Nvidia just released streamline and dlss 3.7, likely 4 is going to be revealed very soon, it's like jack and the beanstalk

[quick locust]

Still less onesided than AI market

[pale quartz]

lol the AI market is at least 6+ years

they're never going to fix rocm

[molten flame]

AI is also why discrete is one-sided

AI cores for Nvidia features

[willow schooner]

AMD spent a year trying to make and release their framegen competitor...only for it to be bloody terrible. That year basically saw no advancement to FSR

[pale quartz]

AMD engineers literally said it's "too difficult" to support their own ISAs for ROCm recently

[quick locust]

Intel is working faster imo

[molten flame]

AMD doesn't have anything that works with their AI cores on RX 7000 series

[quick locust]

OpenVino and XeSS

And oneapi

[pale quartz]

this + it's not even the worst part

FSR 3.1, is not retrospectively updatable

so the game support counter effectively resets to 0

[molten flame]

[willow schooner]

Yeah...its pretty incompetent implementation

[pale quartz]

they've clearly given up if you read what AMD GPU engineers have to say unfortunately, "sorry it's embarrassing we can't record AV1 1080p correctly on RDNA3" etc

[willow schooner]

They cant not try to compete on these fronts. But they are so far behind both with regard to quality, implementations and R&D that they are just constantly trying to play catch up

And they clearly dont have the team sizes to be able to do everything at once. AKA...why FSR essentially got shelved for a year to focus on the shitty framegen

[pale quartz]

yeah is a two fold problem

why they come out as rushed messes and get unlaunched or abandoned

[quick locust]

Arc coming for ya radeon

[willow schooner]

So you spend a year trying to catch up on one front...only to fall 3 years behind on another.

Because NV have such a lead, plus the manpower to progress all fields in parallel

Plus software devs want to go to NV to be on the frontlines of progress

[pale quartz]

@quick locust

when this is the response you know you're screwed

[molten flame]

If AMD can't compete on GPU software front then they need to step-up the hardware game and make a bigger GPU

96 CU ain't enough

[pale quartz]

good luck with that lol

consumer ain't buying a 600 watt GPU to compete with a 4090

[molten flame]

they need to go back to brute forcing like a decade ago

[willow schooner]

They are already deep into MCM...but are still behind, right?

[molten flame]

[quick locust]

1000 mm² die when

[willow schooner]

Nv Blackwell is MCM IIRC

[pale quartz]

on the consumer front they are yeah, Nvidia just released a unified MCM GPU on enterprise which has essentially invalidated radeons approach in one fell swoop

it's deeply embarrassing

they solved the problem with MCM where software wouldn't be able to see it as one unified package so there were scheduling issues around memory between both modules

[molten flame]

AMD wanted RDNA4 to be MCM for the actual GCDs themself but issues may lead to us seeing a single medium-size GCD with MCD chiplets surrounding it just like with current RDNA3

[pale quartz]

and it's already solved by Nvidia lol

[molten flame]

[pale quartz]

it's just not even the same level of competition

[molten flame]

I hear Blackwell is monolithic for gaming

[pale quartz]

it is

MCM is the next (next) architecture

[willow schooner]

Its like that story of Isaac Newton with his laws of motion and gravity. Where Physicists were trying to solve it and couldn't...but he was just like..."Oh that, yeah figured it out years ago...here's how it works"

Nvidia being Newton lol

[molten flame]

may not see Nvidia with MCM gaming GPUs until 2027/2028, so AMD has time to catch up

[pale quartz]

not happening don't expect much of anything from RNDA4

it's fixing the issues with RDNA3, expect that much, don't expect it competing with Blackwell

[molten flame]

RDNA4 is upper mid-range performance at best

[pale quartz]

close enough

[molten flame]

RDNA5 is the pivot on whether AMD survives the GPU market or not

[willow schooner]

the thing is...nvidia will price based on their performance lead...and AMD will price to compete at the level they can compete with the parts nvidia has...and stay partially relevant in that way.

[molten flame]

RDNA5 will have to be good or Radeon is probably done for

[pale quartz]

yeah I mean, ultimately it's futile for Radeon to try to compete at the highest end at this point, they themselves are aware of it

all they have is price left for appeal, and that's a very bad position when you're trying to exit as being seen as the "cheap option"

[willow schooner]

they havent even tried for the last few gens. Like they had zero answer to the 4090. Not even a peep that they had something. and the 4090 isnt even Adas final form if NV needed to re-take the lead.

[pale quartz]

they did have a competitor card for the 4090, just it was never released

they said it existed but the power budgets were around 600 to come near the 4090

unsellable, aka

[willow schooner]

Did it havd 5 8 pin power connectors? 😄

[pale quartz]

who knows I would imagine so tbh lmao

[quick locust]

Dual 7900xtx card

[pale quartz]

4 at a minimum

[quick locust]

[pale quartz]

transients on a card like that would be absurd

[molten flame]

7900XTX only has 20% more shaders than 6900XT, they simply just didn't make a big enough GPU to compete against 4090

[willow schooner]

I do hope the 12VHPWR connector is made more reliable/foolproof.

[pale quartz]

it is, there is a revised specification currently being published which shortens the sense pins to make them actually well do something

[quick locust]

Why not have the connector be at the end of the card lul

[molten flame]

maybe if they were on the 2nd gen 4nm node like RTX 4000, they could gain enough efficiency to make a bigger GPU within a reasonable power budget

[pale quartz]

I don't think the problems with the adapter inherently will go away, it will get "mitigated", ig

[willow schooner]

Just add clips on the top and sides that need to properly fasten.

The only trouble ive had with 12VHPWR was with a custom cable mod cable. the one I got from NV was fine...its just ugly. 😄

[molten flame]

add those tightening screws on both sides kinda of like what DVI connectors have

[quick locust]

Turn it

[molten flame]

[pale quartz]

clips/screws unfortunately wouldn't really solve it, it's a electrical tolerance issue mainly tbh

the pins for 12v are just very short, ensuring contact would need to be encased in some form in the connector itself for that

[quick locust]

SCART sized power connector

[pale quartz]

ultimately it's never going to be truly solved without people migrating to ATX 3+, but the limitations with the adapter can essentially be mostly mitigated with the new specification

[molten flame]

5090 connector leaked

[quick locust]

Water cooled power connector

[pale quartz]

I just moved to atx 3 last week for the 4090, wasn't taking any chances

[molten flame]

glad to get rid of that rats nest of PCIe cables tbh

[molten flame]

now you need the new ATX 3.1

Weird to see next-generation product using slower memory than current gen

[midnight crypt]

Highly doubt that 18gbps is it's max speed

[molten flame]

Maybe a very low price, probably less profitable for AMD than previous generations but they will have to suck it up for not being competitive

Also why don’t they refresh a 7900XTX on enhanced 4nm? That would be like 40-50% increase in density which could mean a decent performance/efficiency gain to possibly compete with 5080

5080 has less SMs than the 4080 Super so it won’t be a big upgrade over 4080 (Super)

[candid flame]

I'm sure they will have a high-end card

they won't leave that market

7000s series range all the way from the 7600 which is kinda dookie to the 7900xtx lol

[lost cargo]

Nothing can beat the 4090 or 5090

[fair thistle]

Anyone on pc getting a BSOD as soon as they try to run battlefield?

I can’t send the screenshots here but basically I’m getting a DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER error and the data dump says it’s eaanticheat.sys causing it

Everything worked fine yesterday and I haven’t made any changes to my pc (or even opened it) since

[pale quartz]

the logs are not the cause, they are showing the symptoms, stack_buffer is a violation of memory integrity enforcement which means there's a reason it's crashing, it is most likely a overclock related issue, if you have XMP or CPU overclock settings enabled switch them off

[fair thistle]

I looked into that and I don’t. And I have like over 700h in this game and never had any issues, didn’t change anything since last time I played and now it’s not working

[pale quartz]

you don't have any? I don't find this likely

[fair thistle]

I thought it might be my driver at first, but there is no faulty driver found

[fair thistle]

No overclock I mean

[pale quartz]

you probably do, and don't realise it, what board and processor are you using

[fair thistle]

Gimme a sec I don’t even know

Processor is i7-6700k

[pale quartz]

and what memory speed does your task manager show?

[fair thistle]

30%

[pale quartz]

no, memory speed, not utilisation

[fair thistle]

How would I find that ? I am a dinosaur at this

[pale quartz]

it's on the bottom right under the memory section, displays in mhz

performance -> memory

[fair thistle]

Oh found it. 2133 MHz

[pale quartz]

2133 is jedec so it's not overclocked, what os are you using?

[fair thistle]

And btw my motherboard is ASUS MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA

[fair thistle]

Windows 10

[pale quartz]

version?

[fair thistle]

Latest ?

[pale quartz]

win key + r type winver

[fair thistle]

Oh nvm Windows 11
22H2

[molten flame]

windows 11 on 6700K?

[fair thistle]

🤷‍♂️

[pale quartz]

there's your problem, you installed windows 11 on a unsupported platform

the anticheat requires TPM to be enforced and this isn't possible on your processor

[fair thistle]

I mean.. why would it show up now? I’ve played a ton with the anti cheat on windows 11

[pale quartz]

not a question I can answer, but you have it now

on windows 11 the anticheat enforces secure boot and TPM restrictions on the game, so you'll need to downgrade to windows 10

[fair thistle]

Oh alright I’ll try this then

Thanks a lot

[pale quartz]

you can't install it normally on your processor to begin with without external tools, so I guess don't try it again or you'll end up in a similar situation

just be aware windows 10 is ceasing support, so you'll need to upgrade your hardware sooner or later

[fair thistle]

I upgraded from windows 10 to 11 using the normal windows tools, didn’t cause a problem. I guess it’s catching up to me now? But anyway thanks a lot

[fair thistle]

Already planning on it it’s getting old

[pale quartz]

got your money's worth out of it that's for sure

[fair thistle]

Oh yeah for sure

Been running it for like 8 years now

[pale quartz]

goes to show how long you can get things to last if you want

[fair thistle]

Yeah ahah

[fading grove]

I'm getting the same issue, Yesterday the game worked fine, didn't change or install anything new. now every time I try to launch the game I get BSOD

[fair thistle]

are you also on outdated hardware and windows 11?

[fading grove]

nope

amd 5 system, 7900X3D, 32gb ddr5 ram, m.2 drive for win11 OS, Nvidia 3070ti

[fair thistle]

oh

[fading grove]

So yeah it's one of those new DICE "features"

[fair thistle]

glad to know its not my pc

I did some research and no one seems to know how to fix this issue

[fading grove]

I updated mobo firmware, gpu driver, ran windows updates, cleaned up registry, so far nothing has helped

[fair thistle]

Yeah same. Weird tho cuz this morning I had this and reinstalled the game. Worked fine after but I come back a few hours later and BSOD

Tried to reinstall again and the game just not launching

[fading grove]

yeah I have slow internet so reinstalling the game is 😔 lol I'll have to let it run over night for that. of course EA Desktop doesn't even let you change the games install directory easily

have to change it from the registry lol

there goes my luck with the game and not having as many issues as others have with bugs and glitches lol

[fair thistle]

Oh yeah that sucks. No guarantee it works too. For me it worked once but stopped working after that

[fading grove]

yeah

[fair thistle]

Game can run if you uninstall anticheat, but you can’t play multiplayer..

[fading grove]

lol which is all the game has

[fair thistle]

I guess they want to promote combined arms lmao

You on bfv or bf 2042?

I’ve seen people get this issue on both

[fading grove]

I have both but it's 2024 that has the issue. I haven't tried V yet

bf4 loaded fine

lol

[fair thistle]

Oh for me it’s V

Haven’t tried bf4

But it doesn’t use the same anticheat I think so that might be why it works

[fading grove]

Just tried it, yep bfv bsod too

[fair thistle]

This is kinda crap honestly

I want to try and downgrade to windows 10 but that’s a whole factory reset and no guarantee it works

And from what you told me maybe a new pc isn’t gonna help either lol

[fading grove]

Yeah I know my system is new enough that who knows if that's even the issue with yours

[fair thistle]

Mine is archaic lol

But all my other games work fine, it’s only bf

[fading grove]

I just built this pc last year after saving up forever to upgrade

[fair thistle]

Ahh sweet man

[fading grove]

Maybe tomorrow it will magically start working again, since it magically stopped working today lol

[fair thistle]

I really hope it does

But knowing EA a bit I doubt this will be resolved too quick

[fading grove]

True that

[fair thistle]

Somehow my hours are weird on the EA app rn, it showed 750 yesterday and now it’s at 450

It’s like I went back in time a full 6 months

[fading grove]

hmm weird, I don't remember what my time played was so wouldn't know if it had changed.

very strange

[fair thistle]

Ah yeah really weird

Cuz I think that was the time I had before I reinstalled the game a few months ago

[fading grove]

Yeah and your system isn't that old. the i7 6700k might not have TPM but it has Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) which good enough for windows 11 as it implements TPM in system firmware.
so that can't be the issue

I had the same cpu and similar motherboard (hero version instead of Formula) before I upgraded to this

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Blue-screen-of-death-trying-to-open-ea-fc/m-p/13673620

other people getting it as well

[fair thistle]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well. I might be from 2015 but it can still be considered modern

I’m currently passing my computer on memtest86, see if any errors can be found there

[fair thistle]

Oh so it’s generalized across EA?

That’s on FC so doesn’t have anything to do with the eaanticheat

[fading grove]

oh geez I totally missed that part haha whoops. I googled "Battlefield 2042 driver overran stack buffer" and that was the first result

but it's similar time frame and with EA, it has to be something connected with EA anticheat causing it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/1cbdntv/battlefield_v_bsod/

others with bfv and 2042 and BSOD as well there

[fair thistle]

I’ve been sinking into this rabbit hole for a while.. this is an old issue, some people report having a BSOD on FIFA and battlefield games for over a year now, on a wide variety of rigs. They can run games that are much more demanding like rdr2 but can’t run fifa or battlefield even with a 3090. Read a guy who’ve been troubleshooting every aspect of his pc for days and nothing helped him resolve it

[fading grove]

Gotta love these hidden EA features they lovingly put into games when ya least expect it!

[fair thistle]

I think that they released an update to their app or anti cheat today, and it started to throw up this issue again for a small part of the community, as a lot of posts I’ve seen about it date from today

[fair thistle]

Always a blast

[quick locust]

Ryzen 9590 when

[pale quartz]

yes, please see TPM as before, EA anticheat does not read PTT, it only reads the toolchain enforced by secure boot by TPM, this is established on its page

Is it working for you today or still the same problem ?

Well hope it’s truly fixed. This morning it crashed for me but after doing the above it worked

Yeah probably. Glad it wasn’t my pc or OS messing things up

[stone latch]

This probably isn’t the right channel for this but I’m getting desperate for some help. I play 2042 on controller through steam and I’ve got this problem where all of a sudden at random my camera will snap to the ground and sometimes even spin me a full 180° in an instant (usually in the middle of a gunfight) Theres no noticeable lag or packet loss associated when it occurs and this only happens on 2042 and no other fps I’ve played recently, does this sound familiar to anyone? And if so is there any known fix?

[willow schooner]

It used to happen to me as a mouse and keyboard player, when I had a controller attached to my PC. AKA...random looking at the ground/camera movement. My fix was to make sure any alt control devices were disconnected.

[molten flame]

256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 memory and 32MB MALL cache that acts as infinity cache for the iGPU

probably not as fast as a RX 6600

but faster ray-tracing because of RDNA3+

[pale quartz]

RDNA falls apart in any workload which matters for RT so its redundant

btw never buy fullprice bitdefender, u can get 50% off as a first time buying deal if you just google it from their official site, and towards the end of your subscription time you always get an offer to renew for 50%off aswell

here anyway

so you can keep buying bitdefender from their official site for half the regular price

[lofty light]

Huh I didn’t know that

Was thinking of just cancelling my bitdefender anyway as windows defender is enough for the stuff I use my desktop for

I don’t download dumb random bs stuff on my pc. Only launcher and games, and apps from the windows store

Unless you regularly surf shady forum sites windows defender is more than enough for 99% the use cases

It regularly scores top marks on security tests researchers around the world do every year

Only other AV I'd get would be malwarebytes, and only that for emergencies. Pretty sure they still do lifetime licenses

Userbenchmark really hates AMD

They're biased towards Nvidia and Intel

[candid flame]

it's funny because intel hates userbenchmark

so much that they banned him from the subreddit

yeah, userbenchmark is just one indian guy who has a hardon for intel

I'm serious

[midnight crypt]

hes been reviewing AMD worse and worse each new gen

actually laughable

[ivory creek]

Why doesn't AMD sue for defamation

For how long the site has been up

It literally can influence consumers who want to purchase AMD products who don't know any better

[pale quartz]

because its not defamation

[brave sundial]

because they can claim "it's just for jokes lol" and that they're not actually a source for information?

[pale quartz]

no

you cant sue a website for expressing an opinion on something

it doesnt matter if its true or not

[brave sundial]

I'd get the website if it was a review website. But it has 'benchmark' in it's name.

[pale quartz]

benchmark doesnt mean anything

they are not a news or journalist website and you cant sue them for anything related to so called defamation

[brave sundial]

So a review outlet could benchmark anything incorrectly intentionally to make a company's products seem bad and the company can't do anything about it?

[pale quartz]

userbenchmark is not a review outlet, they are a website which gives advice based on their opinion, it is not illegal to provide this based on subjective information, there is no claim of illegality here

you might not like them, but thats not the same as being illegal, theyre not the same thing

[brave sundial]

what about any unsuspecting people who would use it to influence what they purchase?

They're usually at the top of searches

It's obvious they want to intentionally mislead people

[pale quartz]

it doesnt matter lol

it all doesnt matter

you cannot sue them

[prime jasper]

ill look into this ty

[molten lagoon]

Anyone Else with a 3070 and a i7 that have shit fps (80) (and ALOT of lag spikes) that maybe know if there’s a way to make the game playable?

[coarse nimbus]

I've been playing with a 3070 and 8600 overclocked works for me

[willow schooner]

Depends on the i7.

i7 2600k - Terrible
i7 14700k - Good

[molten lagoon]

Its gen 12 so i Think its called 12700

Or some

[rotund cave]

is there a tech support channel?

[molten lagoon]

Its just wired i have ok fps but i just stutter alot

And i see some youtubers useing some app to boost fps. Is it worth it trying to do That

[willow schooner]

There is no app that will magically boost FPS

[molten lagoon]

Then who know ig Im the only one with a 3070 That only give half the fps every other 3070 so

[brave sundial]

You might have excessive background processes

but there's no such thing as an app that boosts fps like magic

[molten lagoon]

My fault I mean people said it helped with stuttering for some reason. And it’s just wired cus there is nothing that takes more than 0.4% of my cpu

Or is there a way make a code in steam to make the game use all my gpu and cpu% that I don’t use

[brave sundial]

maybe try going to settings and check if your games are set to 'high performance' so they're using your dGPU

[willow schooner]

Or provide more info on your PC so people can help more.

• CPU
• GPU and drivers used
• RAM and RAM amount/how many sticks
• OS used

one stick of 16gb?

[molten lagoon]

no two

so two 8gb ram sticks ig

just wired how my pc just cant take it when everyone else can

[candid flame]

that's weird indeed

usually it stutters for me for the first few seconds when it's loading in the shader

but after taht it's fine

[molten lagoon]

like 90/110 fps when alot is going on

and thats fine and all

but wheni turn fast arond or something like that then i just get stutter

its not crazy bad but its just not nice to play with

[prime jasper]

Have you checked your temps??

When playing

Weird

[molten lagoon]

not bf5 but when i play cyberpunk or rd2 my gpu is like 76 and cpu the same allmost

i dosent go higher then 90

and dose crazy games my pc takes easy

[candid flame]

oh you are stuttering in bf5, not 2042?

[molten lagoon]

no stutter and arond 110 fps

[candid flame]

switch from dx12 to dx11

dx12 in bf5 is shit

[molten lagoon]

i dont even know if i have dx12 on my pc XD but if u mean in settings in bf5 i have turnd it off

[candid flame]

you can check it in the in-game setting

[molten lagoon]

i watch a toutuber that said its best to have all of them off if people have bad fps

but let me try to turn it on and play

[candid flame]

dx12 on bf5 is fucked sine release

[prime jasper]

Always try it yourself, sometimes following them guides causes bsod 😭

[molten lagoon]

Real XD

[candid flame]

yeah don't follow those bullshit guides

they don't help much

most of the time it makes things worse

[molten lagoon]

Yea ig i wont. imma try That dx11 thing in a min

Dont see anything about dx11

All I see is dx12. dxr enabled. Navi dis dlss.

[candid flame]

turn off dx12

[molten lagoon]

So if I turn dx12 off that means I have dx11 turnd on

[candid flame]

and dxr

yes

[willow schooner]

I mean...even on DX11...there will still be shit loads of stutter the first time you play a map/perform any new actions.

BFV didnt handle shader compilation very well

[molten lagoon]

I just turn dx11 and dxr on I’m going to see how it is now

[midnight crypt]

dx12 makes the stutters unbearable

its shit on bf1 and 5

[molten lagoon]

I’m this map where I was I had no stutter after som time so thanks dude now it’s just my fps that ain’t the best

But I can live with this tho much better then before and now I can play the damn game XD thanks for your time y’all

[toxic wigeon]

I wish they'd start using Vulkan.

[pale quartz]

wdym?

[toxic wigeon]

Dice for battlefield.

[pale quartz]

vulkan wouldnt work, it doesn't have DX related integrations which are necessary

[ancient oasis]

does bf 2042 have FSR 3?

[pale quartz]

no

[ancient oasis]

or atleast fsr2?

[pale quartz]

it doesn't have fsr at all

[ancient oasis]

nvidia mafia paid well i guess D

[pale quartz]

it's not to do with Nvidia, DICE are proponents of FSR, it's just not going to help you in 2042 unless you have a top of the line processor

2042 is a CPU limited game in 90% of situations not GPU limited, FSR isn't going to increase performance

[ancient oasis]

oo ty, as a cpu limited game 2042's graphics rather very good though

[ancient oasis]

is r5 7600 top proocessor for this game?

[pale quartz]

nope, is about 20% slower than a 7800x3d

[ancient oasis]

how much fps u get with ultra setting 1080p with 7800x3d?

[pale quartz]

1080p? more than your gpu can handle lol

it nosedives when you are on 128 players, thats where it matters

[ancient oasis]

it has 128 players game mode? what it called?

[pale quartz]

some playlists yes, its not on the regular conquest, you can find bt 128 or cq 128 in portal

[toxic wigeon]

7600x is still pretty good.

Might still be slower than the x3d but of course that's to be expected.

[pale quartz]

is a good processor, but isnt top tier

only ones that are "top" tier are that the 7950x3d and the 14900k

[toxic wigeon]

But that's obvious no

[ivory creek]

i keep getting coilwhine like crazy when i alttab out of some games, as if its rendering with a high amount of fps even tho ive set max background fps to 30

[pale quartz]

max background fps targets are not enforced globally, games use their own raster mechanisms

[ivory creek]

oh

i thought the nvidia max background fps would override

[pale quartz]

no its only used when respected by a game since its driver level

[willow schooner]

Vulkan is also an INSANELY difficult API to work with.

Xbox/PS also doesnt have SDK support for Vulkan...so even IF they were to swap to a VK renderer...Xbox would still need to use DX12, PS5 would need to use its own proprietary renderer (Cant remember what its called)

So it makes more fiscal/development sense to just use DX12

[timber hearth]

well its locked and idk how to get back in XD

[midnight crypt]

you remember your code

and get in

ez

[timber hearth]

nah its FRP lock

a stupid guy from the repair shop locked it wile testing the phone

it had a broken screen so replaced the screen

[midnight crypt]

you gotta google the code for your phone

[timber hearth]

well i cant coz i cant even get into my email address its says need the owner of this email

and i dont have any code coz he factory reseted my phone too

tryiing a way to remove the frp lock so i can finaly install the phone again

[brave sundial]

owner?

It shouldn't ask for that

[timber hearth]

well it does coz he factory reseetted and now the FRP lock is enabled and he entered his email now i cant get into the phone

its an old phone tho

the phone is unusable rn

[brave sundial]

It says you can't unlock it in fastboot?

[timber hearth]

nope

[brave sundial]

No I mean can't you just flash the os img again through fastboot

[timber hearth]

i even flashed stock firmwhere and even than i cant login

[timber hearth]

ohh i did not try that

idk if it will disable the lock if i install a custom rom

[brave sundial]

Worth a try

bootloader is unlocked though right

[timber hearth]

yea

atleast i think so

[timber hearth]

yeaaa

[brave sundial]

check by booting to fastboot

[timber hearth]

i even tryed to flash factory firmware and did not even worked coz the build number wasn't compatible XD

[pale quartz]

adb or fastboot will be able to bypass it if the bootloader is unlocked, if not you're stuck and will need to wipe the phone

[timber hearth]

like clear the system partition?

[pale quartz]

no, the entire phone

all the data will be purged

[timber hearth]

and how do i do that?

like plan B XD

[pale quartz]

by unlocking the bootloader

[timber hearth]

ahhhh

thanks ima try that

i was trying using a frp remover software

[timber hearth]

btw how do i use ADB i was looking for it but coun't find a way to use it

[pale quartz]

if you don't have terminal knowledge then adb won't be switched on so it won't be an option, it has to be enabled on the developer settings for the phone

[timber hearth]

yea i cant even get that far to enable dev mode into the phone

[pale quartz]

yeah that's why I'm saying, you can't use it

[timber hearth]

so it will be a hard way to unlock the bootloader first than install a custom rom ?

[pale quartz]

you just need to unlock the bootloader, it will delete all the data on the phone

just unlock it then relock it after

[timber hearth]

aightt ima give it a try

it seems that the bootloader is already unlocked

[pale quartz]

relock it, unlock it, then relock it again then

[timber hearth]

i cant see the option to relock it

[pale quartz]

yeah.. because you need to use fastboot

[timber hearth]

ahhhhh

Vendors advertising for BIOS update doesn't look good for Intel's marketing

"stay stable, stay efficient"

[candid flame]

wasn't it the vendor's fault

[molten flame]

Not actually

[pale quartz]

ehhhhh

it's 65% Intel's fault 35% the vendor

Intel's guidelines for OEM vendors define(d) "in specification" as unlimited PL1/2 limits, the guidelines they provided were just suggestions so motherboard vendors would set it to the max for benchmark numbers

ergo you get defective/dying processors a few months in

[molten flame]

I think all modern CPUs boosts/turbos too aggressively and demand too much power. As process nodes shrink, you're supposed to lower power requirements from previous generations, not increase power.

[pale quartz]

they don't

it's not a turbo issue it's a PL issue

ICC and PL were set to unlimited by vendors because intel didn't force them to do otherwise, turbo frequencies aren't the issue here for dying processors

yo @pale quartz ive try to install a custom recovery to install a custom rom ontop of it but it says
only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery) if im in download mode with Odin

also ive tryed wat u asked but it did not worked

[pale quartz]

you cannot do this with Odin it is a Samsung oxeded image flasher only, you will need to use twrp or something else

[timber hearth]

i did try to use TWRP for my moddel and it even sayed the same thing

but i used odin to flash TWRP

[pale quartz]

yes again, you can't do that

[timber hearth]

whats that ?

[pale quartz]

you can't use Odin because it is a Samsung internal tool only, that is you can't use it to flash non signed Samsung software

[timber hearth]

ohh i downloaded the original rom from XDA idk if that counts XD

but wat sould i use to flash twrp than?

then*

[pale quartz]

it isn't the original, XDA uses decompressed files which breaks the signature, you will need to use custom fastboot to flash twrp, that is your only option

[timber hearth]

was trying with LinageOS 21

[pale quartz]

just be aware that you will violate safetynet so things like banking apps and some Google/samsung software will stop working in the process

[timber hearth]

yea idm that its just that this phone will be usable

[timber hearth]

i did came into fastboot mode but it looks similar as my download mode but with the same layout i pressed Load into bootmenu

in recov mode

in my download mode i also see OEM is on (L)

[pale quartz]

it's not my phone so I'm not going to tell you what to do, fastboot is a elevated shell, you need to mount it via a pc, become acquainted with how to actually use it properly via a pc with the terminal

[timber hearth]

u can tell i just want it to be fixed, im trying everything to fix this phone so its in normal state so it can finaly bootup

i know how to use terminal just dk the commands yet XD

i cant find options online either

goin to eat diner back later

[pale quartz]

I can't tell you what to do because it differs per phone, look up a guide on YouTube if you're stuck

[brave sundial]

you can use magiskhide to fix it

[pale quartz]

magiskhide doesnt bypass hardware attestation, and thats being enforced for knox and safetynet in apps

[brave sundial]

worked for me

But I don't have a samsung

[pale quartz]

yes it works for now, it wont for much longer

[brave sundial]

[pale quartz]

software attestation is optional which is why it bypasses it, but it wont be for much longer

[brave sundial]

The community will still work some solution

[pale quartz]

theres no solution to bypassing hardware root of trust lol

[timber hearth]

prob is idk wat to do rn everything i try it blocks it

and what phone are u talking about then?

[candid flame]

is this like an okay build?

it's around 1100 euro without windows

[willow schooner]

What store are you buying from?

[candid flame]

komputronik

I have no idea where to find a cheap computer store in Poland to be honest

everything seems inflated here

[willow schooner]

You cant order from amazon.de?

[candid flame]

hmm never thought about that, is germany really cheaper than Poland

[candid flame]

it's not really cheaper

[pale quartz]

either get the 7800x3d or get cl306000 memory, that combo will kill your performance

cl385200 is extremely bad

[candid flame]

thanks

[pale quartz]

[candid flame]

this is better right? I can't select the ram with higher clock speed, I think it's due to the motherboard choice?

other mobos are really expensive tho

[pale quartz]

motherboard QVL is only for certain kits as they don't "guarantee" some will work, you don't need a more expensive one tho, 7800x3d is fine and negates most of the losses you'll get with that kit

just to be clear there is a performance difference between that and higher memory, but it diminishes with the x3d specifically

nothing you'll notice with a 7600xt

[candid flame]

noice

[wet notch]

Man i hate buying a new headset

my old one still works, but i cant avoid buying a new one forever, im still rocking a hyperx cloud 2

like, what technical stats should check for when getting a new one?

what are the important ones for an allround headset, preferrably for gaming, but always nice to have one good overall

[pale quartz]

depends what your budget is lol

[candid flame]

why do you want a new one when the current one is still working?

maybe get a new pair of ear cups/muffs and switch them out?

[wet notch]

like up to $300-350 perhaps? I can afford more but i dont wanna spend more than that tbh 😄

not when im gonna use it for gaming mostly

[pale quartz]

the drivers on the headphones and the bit rate they send at are probably the most 2 critical components, but if you're wanting it for gaming then surround sound factors in too, in general it's not advised to get one for general/pc at once because they have different aims, but if you're wanting one for both the wh-1000xm5's will do the job

[candid flame]

my gf got me a razer barracuda x (with my money ) which has wireless but I have been using it exclusively plugged in because the wireless latency is so bad

[pale quartz]

just make sure your BT receiver is able to decode LDAC otherwise

[candid flame]

it's wireless via an usb-c 2.4ghz dongle and it just sucks

[wet notch]

yeah i dont think i want wireless

at least i dont need it

[candid flame]

my neighbors could jam my headset with their microwave ovens

[midnight crypt]

Sennheiser hd600 is where it's at

[candid flame]

yeah sennheiser makes really good headsets

[pale quartz]

wireless is fine for latency, just some headphones themselves arent

[candid flame]

I have an hd 350bt from sennheiser, lasted me for years until I dropped it

[pale quartz]

the main problem is sennheiser headphones are targeted generically, and not for games mainly

the 350bt and others have 0 support for Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, and that's critical if he's wanting it for games

[candid flame]

ah right

[pale quartz]

don't think his budget extends to 3 0's to get sennheiser headphones which have both

[candid flame]

dropping Ks on headphones seem irresponsible, unless your work needs that tier of equipment

[pale quartz]

it becomes a lifestyle, I speak to an audiophile who has multiple thousands worth of audio equipment just as a hobby

think his headphones are about 3k and other stuff etc

[quick locust]

[storm osprey]

cpu is severe overkill for that gpu and i would shuffle other parts assuming slight price increases here and there

[midnight crypt]

it leaves plenty of room to upgrade gpu in the future

[brave sundial]

the xm5s are good for gaming?

I thought they weren't which is why we have the sony pulse headsets

[pale quartz]

yes they're fine for that use case

"good" relative to gaming headsets obviously not but they're fine for both use cases

only part which isn't that great is the mic

[candid flame]

just prepping for gpu upgrade

7600xt is the lowest I think I could go with if I decide to get a new pc now

nvidia seems like a silly investment since they will probably lock new features to the rtx 5000 series when it arrives

[storm osprey]

sennys generally lack sound stage, which isnt really bad, but its something i think will really help in comp shooters

(i use 6xx for music, avoid them for gaming)

@wet notch do you need a headset or headphones?

if headset then pc38x, if you can do headphones, then hd560s

[candid flame]

intel and nvidia parts are surprisingly cheaper here but damn if I get a 4060ti now and 4 months later they announce dlss 4 exclusive to rtx 5000 I would firebomb nvidia hq

they are most likely cheaper BECAUSE companies are trying to dump their inventory before the new release lol I have just realized that

[coarse nimbus]

Welcome to we want to make money

[molten flame]

afaik this is very likely going to happen, seeing features exclusive to RTX 5000 series

[candid flame]

[molten flame]

that's a part of technology advancements

[candid flame]

if it's a technology leap it would be a lot easier to accept

but it ain't

[molten flame]

still on 4nm silicon

[candid flame]

it will most likely be "oh our upscaler is slightly better"

1000$ please

[frigid condor]

You're being optimistic

Knowing Nvidia, the starting price of an "entry" 5000 series will be over 1.5k

@pale quartz thanks for all the help and support that u helped me to fix my phone apprichiate. i brought my phone to the repair shop and they removed the frp lock in 2 days with a price ofc. i could't figure it out why i cant install firmware or even flash new os, everyting was blocked so i had to do it.

[pale quartz]

np

[candid flame]

epic game just decided to clone the entire fortnite folder for no reason

[wet notch]

that sounds unnecessary

[candid flame]

yeah, ate over 100gb of my ssd

I just removed all of it

the only reason I still have epic game installed is because of alan wake 2

what a dogshit launcher

[little creek]

hello, is there anybody who managed to run bf2042 on a gtx760? any run commands for this?

[midnight crypt]

dont even bother trying

[candid flame]

[little creek]

ty for the kind answer

[brave sundial]

I mean someone got it working on a 1060

That's the furthest back I've seen it run

760, I don't think it's possible at all

[timber hearth]

do u guys know a software or any backup system into ISO so if my os is corrupt i can boot up that iso into bootable US drive. incl all drivers so i dont have to install that again

[quick locust]

i use btrfs snapshots

[timber hearth]

but is that for ur vms? or ur main pc?

[quick locust]

main

[timber hearth]

hmm so i can backup ur entire OS into a iso file with everything included like drivers ?

[quick locust]

though i also keep all important stuff separately backed up

[timber hearth]

yea me neither but installing a os with drivers ect everytime ur os is corrupt or something its best to have ur os backedup in a ISO file in a nas or something

[quick locust]

all my drivers are in kernel anyway

[timber hearth]

wym?

[quick locust]

[timber hearth]

idk wat u mean tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY

lmao

do they have a quota/commission model for repairing which is why they are doing this

[brave sundial]

Why are asus still so huge yet their customer support is rubbish

It's worse for their laptops, many stories on the gaminglaptops subreddit where the reps straight up threatened customers when they returned their faulty models that were under warranty

This is why I'd always buy from a retailer that gives a decent length warranty

Over here that's Currys and John Lewis. And they have much better terms where they just give you a new model most of the time

[candid flame]

gamernexus got threatened that they would ship back the rog disassembled lol

[brave sundial]

Yeah I saw the video. wtf is that

[candid flame]

also the grammar and spelling errors on their documents

[midnight crypt]

india tech support

$3758 to repair a small dent in a 4090

[candid flame]

it's definitely a scammer racket

[midnight crypt]

thats not even a hard repair

[candid flame]

on LinkedIn, India is their largest employee hub outside of Taiwan where they are based

[candid flame]

latest update said he contacted the CEO office and they offered a full refund

I guess the company isn't even aware that their customer support department is out here scamming people

[brave sundial]

[coarse nimbus]

Least surprising thing tbh

[pale quartz]

yes, but not for the reason you think

RMA processes aren't actually done by the company (retailer) themselves, they are subcontracted out to another company to handle the logistics, so the people there don't actually work for Asus, why these types of things often happen and it's not noticed up the chain

(for those who will say it says Asus customer representative, this is normal for subcontracting processes, the supplier/contractor acts as a representative for them)

[candid flame]

oh I know, I work for an outsourcing company

people in my company say on LinkedIn they work directly for microsoft all the time

[pale quartz]

yeah is mainly a liability reason so they get blamed if things go wrong, and well, its much cheaper to pawn it off elsewhere than do it yourself

7600X3D when

[timber hearth]

it is a fresh install i just want to make a iso backup of it with all windows updates inc the installed drivers

[pale quartz]

installed drivers..?, windows installs the driver for you when you install it

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-rdna5-is-reportedly-entirely-new-architecture-design-rdna4-merely-a-bug-fix-for-rdna3

RDNA4 is pretty much a refresh of RDNA3 in terms of performance-per-watt

biggest change is ray-tracing

[pale quartz]

its not a refresh, just what rdna3 should have been

[molten flame]

configuration of stuff is like 99% the same

[pale quartz]

yes but its also regressing from a per generation release

rdna4 has no competitor for the 5080/5090

5070 class only

[molten flame]

RDNA5 is a brand new architecture, probably shouldn't even have RDNA in its name

[pale quartz]

it may not, not decided if it will retain the RDNA nomenclature, too early to know

[molten flame]

RDNA4 might max out with 256-bit GPU just like 5700XT

[pale quartz]

either way it doesnt matter after blackwell NV will have a unified MCM GPU

[molten flame]

RDNA4 doesn't have a high-end because MCM didn't work out

they could have at least made something similar to Navi 31 imo, 1 GCD with 6 MCDs

basically a 7900XTX with new ray-tracing hardware

if 8700XT can't beat 7900XTX in ray-tracing then AMD is probably gonna lose to Intel in GPU marketshare soon lmfao

[pale quartz]

yes they will

battlemage is close to release

[molten flame]

Battlemage is only 2x the core count of A770 so it will be less than 2x faster

Battlemage can't beat 7800XT/4070 imo

[pale quartz]

doesnt need to lol, price is everything

[molten flame]

supposedly RDNA3 was supposed to have double the amount of L3 cache it currently does but power consumption was a problem

didn't think cache was significant for power draw

[pale quartz]

not double, they were just tested engineering samples, no consumer SKU was ever planned

it wouldnt have beat the 4090 without 600 watt draws, thats why the xtx was the highest sku

[molten flame]

XTX couldn't beat 4090 even with 10 kW, it just lacks shader/core count

give 7900XTX 128 compute units

kinda weird that AMD wanted Navi 31 to "kill" RTX 4090 but they literally only gave it 20% more shader cores than the 6900XT

they increased memory bus 50% going from 256-bit to 384-bit

but a tiny increase in shaders

they shot themselves in the foot

[pale quartz]

^

[molten flame]

RDNA3 is so similar to RDNA2 in performance-per-watt and performance-per-core

that shrink to 5nm did nothing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARlYQPbDOR8

[willow schooner]

"Always has been"

[molten flame]

AMD selling more GPUs than ever in their career but that's not enough to take marketshare from Nvidia

[willow schooner]

Or bring them more profit

[pale quartz]

theyre not lol

radeons revenues for consumer are down 40%

[willow schooner]

Despite more expensive GPU, meaning less units sold

Its 100% more doom and gloom that it really is, but AMD Radeon are definitely in a bad place.

[molten flame]

7900XTX same msrp as 6900XT and $100 lower than 6950XT

[willow schooner]

Ill stick with my 4090 😛
