#

buying a laptop for uni

#

price range is 1.5k

sour ivy
#

Engineering?

narrow flame
#

yea

sour ivy
#

So autocad

#

Inventor?

#

Etc?

narrow flame
#

comp

#

yea

sour ivy
#

Great, I'll help ya

#

Weight?

narrow flame
#

gonna be spending most of my time in a dorm there

sour ivy
#

Because a lot of the great laptops with desktop graphics cards are heavy

#

Weight limits?

#

& storage requirement?

narrow flame
#

1tb

#

dont really know how to judge weight reqs

#

havent really used laptops before

#

4-5 pounds

sour ivy
#

Ok I'll dm you some stuff I find

narrow flame
#

great thanks

#

i was looking at this earlier @sour ivy

sour ivy
#

I found something that destroys that @narrow flame

magic yew
#

@sour ivy 8350k is basically a 6600k. It's not even remotely worth your money

sour ivy
#

@magic yew Wasn't asking for me

#

Was asking for @narrow flame

magic yew
#

wait

#

FX 8350?

#

absolute trash

#

do not buy

#

going from 8320e to 8350 is such a tiny upgrade

#

@narrow flame Unfortunately you're out of luck without a platform upgrade. Preferably a new CPU, but also possibly to a haswell based Intel CPU with a new motherboard. If you can get something like a i7 4770 and a compatible motherboard for a decent price that would be almost as good as you can go. If you can get an overclocking motherboard for a good price you could also consider a 4770k or 4790k but those would probably be out of your price range. There's really nothing that uses the same motherboard you currently have that's any good

sour ivy
#

Can you recommend him a good gaming laptop under 1200 USD? @magic yew

magic yew
#

is he aware that gaming laptops suck ass?

#

also I'm really not great with laptops

narrow flame
#

laptop is for uni

prime jasper
#

good, gaming laptop and under $1200 do not go into the same sentence.

#

good and laptop do, gaming laptop and good dont

#

expect a starting price of 2000 for good

#

sometimes good enough can be found for 1500-2000

sour ivy
#

There's plenty of gtx 1060 laptops for under that price

hazy oasis
#

gaming laptop for 1200usd won't do shit

hollow zealot
#

@hazy oasis that isn't as big difference tho

hazy oasis
#

1080p is the same thing

#

GTX 1070 will outperform gtx980ti in 2k and 4jk

hollow zealot
#

In some games it actually did

#

I mainly play cs so this build is ok for me

hazy oasis
#

but if you are going to play BF 5

#

buy a new pc

hollow zealot
#

I will

hazy oasis
#

at least a gtx 1070ti

hollow zealot
#

My budget is tight af

#

i5 8100
8gb ddr4 (8 will be ok for now cuz price)
Gtx 1060ti or 1070ti
Still working on the proper list

#

A ryzen5 1600 is a good apu right?

wise goblet
#

how good is a GTX 1060 ? for newer games like bf V? high or medium=

magic yew
#

@hollow zealot 980ti and 1070 are pretty close in performance a lot of the time

#

@wise goblet very capable card, assuming you don't expect to go higher than 1080p 60fps on high settings

wise goblet
#

@magic yew thanks , i dont even have a 1080 p monitor lol i just want to play this game smooth then ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ty

narrow flame
#

is an i5 7500 good for bg5?

#

bf5

magic yew
#

It should be mostly fine, as long as you already own it and aren't buying it new

#

if you're buying new there's a bunch of CPUs that are MUCH better choices

sour ivy
#

If I had a better cpu I could run ultra at 60 fps with no dips. So it will run in ultra if you have a good cpu

#

@wise goblet

#

What's your cpu

slate wave
#

I miss playing BF1 with everything in ultra

#

jump to a better monitor made me have to play with everything set to medium for my 1070

autumn terrace
#

What kind of hardware will I need to sustain 120+ FPS in a game like BF5 with a 1440p 21:9 monitor?

lost heron
#

will xbox be able to handle it though?

agile rain
#

What about my toaster oven?

wind ocean
#

Of course it will

#

Dice will. Make sure to dumb it down so it fits on all platforms even if it means all platforms lose meaningful features.

south beacon
#

Hello anyone good with headsets and headphones?

#

I have a few questions i need help

slate wave
#

I have a few wireless ones, a Denon AHGC20, Logitec 933 and a Bose sound wear

south beacon
#

Sennheiser GSP 350
Is this good for gaming

#

Oh

slate wave
#

Sorry man, Sennheiser is out of bounds for me

south beacon
#

Lol

slate wave
#

but my the 933 is also a 7.1 surround sound, one thing about them types is its gonna divide up the speakers inside the headset so in surround mode the sounds gonna be weak

#

at least thats how mines worked

#

I hear there are surround headphones that don't do that and can provide better sound, but are a lot more expensive

#

But audio and monitors for gaming, you need to try them out for yourself, what feels good tends to really matter on personal perception

south beacon
#

Sennheiser hd 579
Sennheiser hd 559
Sennheiser GSP 350
Sennheiser hd 599

#

This is my list

rigid knoll
#

+1 for Sennheiser. I got HD 555's nearly 10 years ago. I still haven't found an excuse good enough to upgrade to a newer model. Also zero replacement parts needed during this time

lofty light
#

I have the G933, it's freaking great

wise goblet
#

@sour ivy i5-4670 K

wise goblet
#

good or nah?

south beacon
#

I bought the audio technica 40mx

prime jasper
#

@autumn terrace 8700k and a 1080ti. I still get dips below 100. The graphic change is also very nominal and it makes everything super tiny.

autumn terrace
#

@prime jasper thanks. I have an i7-5820k and 980ti currently but it sits below 80 right now. Will the difference between the 5820 and 8700 be small enough to just keep the 5820k and go with a 1080ti over the 980ti?

prime jasper
#

8700k is way faster on everything

#

and its tdp is 95 over 140 so better overclocks

lofty light
#

The problem with having the 5820K (I have one) is to upgrade you'd either need to go to the new extreme board and CPU or slightly less money for the 8700K and board and lose two RAM slots

#

It's a lot of money either way, so I'm thinking the best solution is get maybe a Broadwell E chip and overclock it more

prime jasper
#

you dont need more than 64gb in 99% of cases

#

64 is a ton

#

normal gamers dont need over 16

lofty light
#

It is, but if he already has the slots filled it's something to keep in mind

prime jasper
#

sell the additional ram

#

you'll make money off it

lofty light
#

That's true

#

Prices are through the roof for memory atm

prime jasper
#

yep

#

16gb $220 on average

lofty light
#

It's worse here in AUS, I remember getting 16GB a few years ago for $95, now it's over $250

#

$260 for the exact same kit :/

prime jasper
#

ouch

autumn terrace
#

Iโ€™m thinking I will stick it out for another year with the 5820k and then do a completely new system and use the old as a streaming PC.

#

Why is ram so high?

autumn vigil
#

Will an I5-7600K bottleneck a GTX 1070?

wind ocean
#

depends

merry linden
#

Rams high because companies were making gddr5 ram for GPU's because that is where the money was isntead of making Ram sticks for ddr4. With crypto going down things should level out.

wind ocean
#

ram is high because artificial price manipulation and production shortages

#

there's no reason, all the dram manufacturers are being investigated atm

turbid verge
#

pretty much

#

mostly for market manipulation for their own gain

#

which atm 16gb of DDR4 costs like what 160$+ and 2 years ago was like 100$

dry jolt
#

in bf1 I get a lot of stutters

#

i'm using a 1080ti, 7700k 16gb ram

#

it happens while loading the map but at times it just stutters suddenly

quartz canopy
#

Do you have GeForce experience enabled or origin overlay? Turn those off

dry jolt
#

i'll try origin first

#

but why geforce?

quartz canopy
#

Cause that can cause stuttering/frame drops as well sometimes

lofty light
#

Just uninstall the GeForce bloatware, problem solved ๐Ÿ˜›

quartz canopy
#

Could do that too, and just grab the drivers from the site

lofty light
#

That's what I do, can't stand that experience

timid citrus
#

I enjoy the Xbox record that feature in gforce experience. It's stupid easy to setup and works incredibly well since it's using the GPU video decoder chip and doesn't effect anything else

#

The overlay can cause some issues but one of the easiest ways to help reduce stutter is to limit the fps cap in bf1 and force off vsync

quartz canopy
#

Yeah, that works too

autumn terrace
#

Is there a reliable place to buy / sell used CPUs and GPUs? Besides eBay.

wind ocean
#

craigslist

#

overclocker forums

timid citrus
#

MErcari

wind ocean
#

enthusiast forums

north crow
#

are you using dx12 @dry jolt?

#

oh whoops old messages

#

anyway, I have a 1080 Ti + 6700K and get some pretty mean stutters (at least at the beginning of matches) if I enable dx12

wind ocean
#

not too surprised about that

#

since nvidia and dx12 are like cats and a loud noise factory full of fine china

north crow
#

I need to use it in War Stories for the cutscenes to play properly tho :(

sacred pollen
#

Hey people. Does anyone know if battlefield 1 could be played on a normal Windows 10 computer well.
Or if Windows 10 can work for battlefield 4 or might it work for battlefield V?

#

Because I had an experance with Skyrim and hitman and both had little problems with all the detail into it. Skyrim - Bushes and building need to disapear inorder for me to play. Hitman- It is all very laggy. And I now want to play a battlefield, but I do not want problem

prime jasper
#

Define 'Normal Windows 10 computer'

sacred pollen
#

I buy microsoft 10 computer, I set it up. And I download battlefield.

prime jasper
#

What are the specs?

sacred pollen
#

How do I find out?

prime jasper
#

Start > type 'dxdiag'

sacred pollen
#

Okay I put on dxdiag, but now I see System model, BIOS, Processor, and Memory. Where do I go from there?

rigid knoll
#

I think those specs should be thought of as "preliminary"

#

Also "barely works on these" sort of specs

sacred pollen
#

DirectX: I have 12 and it recommands 11.0. Is that better or worse?

prime jasper
#

Check what it says at RAM, CPU etc

sacred pollen
#

8192 RAM

#

wait

#

8192MB Ram

prime jasper
#

And CPU?

#

And also go to 'display'

sacred pollen
#

Intel i7-5700

#

Well, how do you think it will run with all of this?

prime jasper
#

Go to Display

sacred pollen
#

yes?

#

then what? What information?

#

my display thing is 1440 x 900

#

What about if I can play Insurgance? It seems like it might have a lot of requirements. If that works well do you think battlefield game would work.

north crow
#

Different games have vastly different requirements, and may be bottlenecked by different parts of your system

#

Can you download a program called Speccy and take a picture of the main screen when you start it?

prime jasper
#

Your graphics card... @sacred pollen

#

Or just post a screenshot here. Much easier

sacred pollen
#

What would the graphics card part be called, because I am in display and there is Device type, Approx. Totoal Memory, Display memory, Shared memory, Current Display mod, Monitor, and HDR.

prime jasper
#

Just take a screenshot and post it here

#

Press Windows key + Shift + S

#

Then paste it here

sacred pollen
#

What about this?

prime jasper
#

Scroll up at 'Display'

sacred pollen
prime jasper
#

That's better

#

I think you can run it, but probably on low

strong breach
#

Battlefield 1 minimum requirement gpu was GTX 660

#

That's on their site

#

Recommended was GTX 960 if I remember correctly

sacred pollen
#

I say battlefield 1, because I have no idea what battlefield V is going to have

strong breach
#

Same requirements as bf1

#

As for now

#

๐Ÿ˜„

sacred pollen
#

yes, but I barely understood what you were all talking about.

#

I do not understand computer chat or language that much. So saying oh look at GTX 960 only gets me confused.

strong breach
#

Oh uhh

#

Let's just try to keep it simple

#

I higly doubt that GT 730 is able to run the game

#

You had GT 730 as your graphics card, correct?

sour ivy
#

There's no way you can run it on those specs

strong breach
#

GTX 660 performs about 350-400% better

sour ivy
#

Lol

quaint mantle
#

Even though it performs 300% better in certain rendering tasks it still only gets 100% more frames tho

sacred pollen
#

yes I understand. So I need to go to a third party sourse to get a better graffics card to make this play well?

#

Okay. thanks for the assitance. Now the only thing is now is if I get that and if I do, I would just need to figure out how to put it in my computer

mint pendant
#

Has anyone ever had this issue when trying to download something on Origin? This has been happening for years and its very rare for me to ever complete a download because of it. (Watch the Battlefield 3 download).

summer bronze
#

Nothing happened?

wind ocean
#

Try installing on a different drive or running as administrator.

prime jasper
sacred pollen
#

Do I need to buy a gaming PC?

#

like alienware or something like that?

#

all I want to do is put a Graffics chip in my normal PC. Can I even do that with a normal PC?

iron canyon
#

what specs in you current PC?

sacred pollen
#

If you look up a little you will see some of the things I showed of my computer earlyer

#

if that explains what you are asking

prime jasper
#

you will need a new graphics card and a new power supply, and that will make it a gaming pc

swift crow
#

I'm gonna need a new of for sure. But I don't mind I enjoy it

sacred pollen
#

gosh I am so clueless when people have terms for certain parts of the computer. What do you mean a new power supply? I do not have a computer that runs on coal. And for that I am happy about that fact, but seriously. I do not understand "new power supply?" Does that mean to energy storage device or something?

prime jasper
#

a power supply is a box that supplies power to the pc, google it

#

it connects to the motherboard and where you plug your pc with a power cable to an outlet in the back

sacred pollen
#

So I can do this for any computer? Even just a normal buy in the shop PC? I can edit it?

iron canyon
#

So long as you have what you need, yes
Looks to me like you can just upgrade to a new graphics card, but that all depends on your power supply and how effective it is.
Is it 500W? 400W? 600W?

#

@sacred pollen

sacred pollen
#

how do I know how many Wats it has?

#

Where do I need to go?

prime jasper
#

Open up the computer

#

Watch the video I linked you, it tells you how to build one. It's not complicated or confusing.

#

I'm guessing it's a 450w since you have a pre-built dell.

hidden pilot
#

can someone help me

#

my game lags but my stem requirements are good

quartz canopy
#

@hidden pilot turn off Origin Overlay

hidden pilot
#

does that normally work?

quartz canopy
#

It helps a bit yes

hidden pilot
#

i'm reinstalling the game

#

to see if that helps at all

quartz canopy
#

Turn it off in the Origin Settings, and the game properties in origin

#

And disable GeForce Experience if you're using Nvidia

hidden pilot
#

wdym?

#

how do i disable it

quartz canopy
#

In the settings in the desktop app

#

And change the frame rate limiter in the in game settings to 60 or 120

hidden pilot
#

i have a 1050ti oc paired with a i5 4460

#

could the bad fps because of my cpu?

quartz canopy
#

Could be, but some of these options could help a bit

#

Requires a 6600k at the minimum, so yes

prime jasper
#

@hidden pilot which 1050ti?there are two with the same name but completely different specs.

hidden pilot
#

1050ti of edition by asus

#

Oc

#

Edition

prime jasper
#

two different versions of that one

#

there was one that was released that caused a scandal, one has lower specs and is still called a 1050ti

prime jasper
#

Does anyone use a Wireless mesh system at home?

#

How would you rate it for gaming

pastel igloo
#

nope soz

prime jasper
#

its better than normal wifi, but its cheaper and better to just move the router into the room with the PC. The set up i have costs over a grand and it was the only one that would work well for gaming. I went back to hardline since the random minor dips still affected me

hidden pilot
#

I has that one

#

Is this the bad one?

quartz canopy
#

No

prime jasper
#

can some one go down the phantom elevator with me on ps4

valid tundra
#

can anyone that have a Gsync help? i experiencing some issues.

#

PM plz

onyx jungle
#

does anybody want to play fortnite

prime jasper
#

@valid tundra turn it off, thats how you fix the issues

hidden pilot
#

@prime jasper my friend has a 760 and a i3 and he runs the game so good on high settings

#

is my pc that bad?

prime jasper
#

which i3

#

also good is a vague term since both of you arent getting 60 fps, which is what most people consider good

hidden pilot
#

idk

prime jasper
#

averaging systems he's probably getting around 38 and youre getting 45

hidden pilot
#

i uninstalled geforce experince to see if that does anything

#

ive had problems with in the past

prime jasper
#

low end systems have problems with it currently

#

it used to be a lot better

hidden pilot
#

how do i limit the fps?

#

or cap it

prime jasper
#

in game settings

hidden pilot
#

it kinda worked

#

im no longer getting 2fps in the main menu

sour ivy
#

@hidden pilot what are your specs

prime jasper
#

we already dealt with that riel

hidden pilot
#

@sour ivy Asus strix gtx 1050ti oc 4gb i5 4460 3.2 ghz 8gb of ram

#

my friends laptop runs this game better

#

960m and i7 6600

#

16gb of ram

#

he runs the game on low settings and the game is constant 100-120 fps

sour ivy
#

@hidden pilot what do your temps look like

hidden pilot
#

Normal temps under load

#

Like 60-70

sour ivy
#

hm

#

It's definitely the cpu

#

Do you lag in other games

prime jasper
#

its not just the cpu

#

@hidden pilot I have an 8700k and a 1080ti, I cant always keep 100fps on low settings, he must be under a 1080p res for that, because that would barely handle 120 fps on low.

hidden pilot
#

I'm using 1440*900

#

Should I lower the res

prime jasper
#

you'll also need more ram

hidden pilot
#

That's my native res

prime jasper
#

its not uncommon for that to bottle neck this game

hidden pilot
#

Idk

prime jasper
#

i do know though

#

a 1050ti can barely get 60 fps on titles like bf1

#

the processor is a slight bottleneck also

hidden pilot
#

I have a 4th gen cpu mobo

prime jasper
#

get 8gb more ram and youll see a noticeable change

#

get a k model 4th gen processor

hidden pilot
#

My friend has a 4790

prime jasper
#

you'll need to overclock

hidden pilot
#

I5

#

And a 760

prime jasper
#

760 is also technically a better card

#

than a 1050ti

hidden pilot
#

Oof

prime jasper
#

the 1050ti has an overall speed of 5% over the 760

hidden pilot
#

Ok so all I need to do is get more Ram and slightly better cpu

prime jasper
#

getting more ram is a good start

hidden pilot
#

I'm in Canada that shit is expensive

prime jasper
#

its ddr3

#

youre after not ddr4

hidden pilot
#

O

#

Aight

prime jasper
#

ddr3's prices werent horribly affected like ddr4

#

memory express has new chips for around $100cad for 8gb

hidden pilot
#

On Amazon CAD 170 for 8*2 gb sticks

prime jasper
#

you can use the ram you have already

#

you just need to match the scews

#

I know the VC area had tons of ram on craigslist

#

now just keep in mind that you might see a huge difference, but it might help with stability since most pcs have tons of background tasks that also use ram

polar kestrel
#

just make sure with the ram it is all the same

prime jasper
#

Does anyone have a good PC build, I know a good chunk about computers and I want to switch from console to PC on a budget of under 500 or 400

#

USD

sour ivy
#

For a bf1 pc?

#

@prime jasper

#

Bfv

prime jasper
#

The system requirements for battlefield V haven't been released yet

#

I at least want it to run Bf4 at high, or BF1 at medium

rigid knoll
#

Initially they're saying you should be able to run bf1 and bfv on similar machines

prime jasper
#

yes

sour ivy
#

Yes they're the same specs

#

@prime jasper no way you'll be able to get a pc that can run bf1 or bfv on high for 400

#

It's not possible

#

I'd stick with the PS4 in this case

#

You could get a pc that could run bf4 though

#

Even medium for bf1 for 400 is a big stretch

prime jasper
#

why?

sour ivy
#

Because battlefield 1 is a demanding game

#

That's why

prime jasper
#

lol true

sour ivy
#

Look, my 1000 dollar pc lags sometimes in bf1 because of my cpu

#

And my cpu costs half of 400

#

If you really want to play on the pc, I'd save

prime jasper
#

I'd just want to get out of my comfort zone of being a console gamer, I want to try something else, I'll start saving up for it

sour ivy
#

See ya on the battlefield

#

What would you spend on the pc? I can help you if you give me a budget

prime jasper
#

something like 8 gigs of ram, a gtx 1050 ti, intel i5

sour ivy
#

And hopefully by the time you save graphics card will drop in price

#

See thats manageable

prime jasper
#

true, I could go for a 1060 or a 1070 if the prices do drop

sour ivy
#

Nah

#

1050ti is solid

#

1060 would work too though

#

Ofc you'd want to check prices before you buy it to see if things changed between the different companies

prime jasper
#

true, like EVGA, Asus, or Gigabyte

sour ivy
#

My 1060 is pny

#

It makes a little to no difference what company it is

#

Do you care about how the pc looks @prime jasper

prime jasper
#

kinda

sour ivy
#

Alright

#

What colors

prime jasper
#

red

#

and black

#

just to match my ps4

sour ivy
#

This ram is ugly buts its a great clock

#

And price

prime jasper
#

I don't care what my ram looks like lol, not a big deal to me

sour ivy
#

One sec @narrow flame

#

That's a good motherboard

prime jasper
#

looks epic :p

prime jasper
#

quick question, does this cooler keep the cpu more cool than the one inside the cpu's box?

sour ivy
#

Ye

#

It does

#

The stock cooler sucks if you're going to overclock

#

Do you have a monitor?

prime jasper
#

the case you gave me needs me to get amazon prime to get it

#

I don't have a monitor

sour ivy
#

Oh you don't have prime?

prime jasper
#

no

sour ivy
#

Have you used the free trial

prime jasper
#

nah, I don't plan to use prime anytime in the future

#

thats all riel, I have my eye on a good keyboard and mouse combo for a long time, thanks for a

#

sorry my pc glitched, thanks for the build man

sour ivy
#

Ok

#

It's cool

#

It's 2000 USD @narrow flame

#

?

narrow flame
#

i got it for 1200 cad

#

900 usd

sour ivy
#

You bought it?

#

How much does it weigh

narrow flame
#

5,3 lbs

#

@sour ivy

sour ivy
#

That's decent

#

Good battery @narrow flame

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper if you are thinking of building a PC, I would recommend you check out a site called partpicker, it will aloe you to easily make a parts list, and check for compatibility and look for the best price

prime jasper
#

Do not use pc part picker. It has bad pricing data

turbid verge
#

tbh search around local stores or search by yourself on amazon

#

or better if you're from US r/buildapcsales

merry linden
#

newegg is a great place

#

and GPU's are MSRP now, or just about

#

RAM is more expensive

#

and if you aren't going to OC your processor don't get over 2400mz ram

#

not worth the price difference.

prime jasper
#

*near MSRP

1070 are msrp-ish

#

only 1070 and up on nvidia side are at around MSRP

#

1060 and all AMD are still way over

prime jasper
#

1070, 1070ti, 1080 are all within $50-80 of msrp for the most part. 1080ti is still way over

#

the cheapest 1080ti I can find is $800 which is 100 over msrp

#

most are atleast 150 over though

north crow
#

1080 Ti MSRP is $700?

prime jasper
#

yep

north crow
#

huh

#

cheapest 1080 Ti here is ~800โ‚ฌ which, even with 24% VAT applied, is ~50โ‚ฌ over MSRP

prime jasper
#

board partners almost always charge over msrp

#

so keep that in mind

#

cheapest 1080ti you'll see for a while

quiet chasm
#

i got 30fps constant...
i have a 2k โ‚ฌ PC
wtf?

dreamy tinsel
#

The 1080TI FE performs as well as any other 1080 TI right?

sour ivy
#

@quiet chasm what do your temps look like

#

What are your specs

quiet chasm
#

i7 and got a 1060 6gb

#

16 go ram

sour ivy
#

What are your temps while in game @quiet chasm

quiet chasm
#

temps? sorry i'm french

#

what is temps

#

u mean degre?

sour ivy
#

@prime jasper a 7700 Will work with my mobo right? My mobo is for i5 6500,lga 1151

#

Yes

#

How hot is your cpu while in game

quiet chasm
#

How i see it?

sour ivy
#

Download Intel extreme utility

#

Open the game and see what your cpu temperature is

#

With this

quiet chasm
#

@sour ivy

sour ivy
#

Is that in game

#

Or just idle

#

@quiet chasm

quiet chasm
#

i was in menu

sour ivy
#

Go in game for me

#

Like a conquest match

#

Play for a minute

#

And show me temps please

quiet chasm
#

ok i do it

sour ivy
#

Alright, lmk

#

There's a couple of other things it could be

#

In video settings is dx12 on

quiet chasm
#

no

#

ok so i have play one min and got no change on the temps

#

@sour ivy

prime jasper
#

@dreamy tinsel yes, FE just means founders edition aka not factory overclocked, non-board partner. @quiet chasm the price of your pc doesnt mean performance, i7 what? it could be an i7 thats grossly outdated, it's a scew thats been going on for a while. @sour ivy yes it should but it can have some issues. Just make sure your bios is updated so it'll work.

sour ivy
#

Which i7 do you have

quiet chasm
#

its a i5_7600k 3.80hz

sour ivy
#

It's an i5 7600k

#

So dx12 isnt on

quiet chasm
#

nope

dreamy tinsel
#

Alright cool! Wasnt sure if the SLI etc. were better or if its just because its quieter or something like that

prime jasper
#

technically they are worse

#

@quiet chasm did you set the display to 60 or 144? they sometimes default to 30\

#

in the actual windows settings, not in game

quiet chasm
#

i dont fint it lol

dreamy tinsel
#

FE is worse, or SLI is worse?

prime jasper
#

fint?

#

DE is technically worse

quiet chasm
#

d

sour ivy
#

Would you recommend getting a new mobo then

prime jasper
#

depends on the mobo you have now, some of them are just bad

#

and if youre getting a new mobo just get an i5 coffee lake

#

because its the cheaper than a 7700k

quiet chasm
#

ok its 144 @prime jasper

prime jasper
#

now make sure the in game settings are at 100 res and not higher

quiet chasm
#

its on 100

#

i got ALL low setting

#

antiliasing off

#

and in fight i got less than 30 fps

prime jasper
#

its a 3gb or a 4gb?

quiet chasm
#

i run 80 fps normaly when they are not a lot of people , but when we got team fight i 'm fucked

prime jasper
#

what brand is your card?

quiet chasm
#

nvdia

prime jasper
#

its a founders?

quiet chasm
#

gtx 1060 6gb

#

nope

prime jasper
#

then its not nvidia

#

gpu is nvidia, card is someone else

#

gpu is the chip on the card

#

not the actual card

quiet chasm
#

okey

#

so

prime jasper
#

msi, asus, evga?

#

something else?

quiet chasm
#

i think its msi

#

because its on the card xD

prime jasper
#

download this

#

validate then post the link

quiet chasm
#

Ok i have install it

sour ivy
#

Completely log out and close down Origin. Hold down the Windows key and R. Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK. Now open the Origin folder. Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one). Hold down the Windows key and RType in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK, This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder
Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window. Open the Local folder here. Delete the Origin folder listed here. Restart your PC and log back into Origin

#

This effectively increased my fps by 20 and it made the fps more stabilized

quiet chasm
#

ok i try

prime jasper
#

that "fix" only works 5% of the time

#

ive seen it around

sour ivy
#

So I shouldn't recommend it?

prime jasper
#

ehh

sour ivy
#

If it helped me and 3 of my friends I shouldn't recommend it

prime jasper
#

I prefer figuring out everything first

quiet chasm
#

ITS TOO LATE ๐Ÿ˜†

sour ivy
#

And I dont think the brand of the graphics card matters that much

prime jasper
#

if it works its great, I tried it on my other pc and I had to redownload origin

sour ivy
#

Unless it's some random Chinese knockoff

prime jasper
#

actually brand does matter

sour ivy
#

Well it worked for me and people I know so idk

#

Yes it does just not that much

#

Not the difference between 60 fps and a locked 30

prime jasper
#

I was checking to see if it was a chinese knock off for one since the intel thing said 4gb ram on it

sour ivy
#

Wat

#

It said there was 4gb of ram on a processor

prime jasper
#

secondly brand means a lot in reality because of the coolers

sour ivy
#

What I'm saying is that the actual hardware of the card

#

Is similar

prime jasper
#

no its not

sour ivy
#

My card is from pny

prime jasper
#

different PCBs

sour ivy
#

And it scores similarly to the msi

prime jasper
#

different chokes

quiet chasm
#

i'm back

prime jasper
#

My EVGA 1080ti kingpin scores way higher than my asus strix 1080ti

#

because the PCB is massively superior and the cooler is better

sour ivy
#

Are you playing on 1440p or 1080p

#

Because it says your display is 1440p

prime jasper
#

Im playing at 1080p

quiet chasm
#

1440

sour ivy
#

Not you

#

You're playing battlefield at 1440p?

prime jasper
#

tath, dont run the game at 1440

#

My system can barely handle it

sour ivy
#

The 1060 can't handle 1440

prime jasper
#

and I have a 8700k/1080ti

quiet chasm
#

OK THAT WHY

sour ivy
#

It can't?

prime jasper
#

cant keep a stable 144

#

it dips below 100 a lot

sour ivy
#

My friend has a 1080ti and he plays at ultra scaled up to 1440

#

That's odd

prime jasper
#

its not

quiet chasm
#

I have an old 1080 and its was very clear on him then i buy a 1440 and problem happen

prime jasper
#

its very common

sour ivy
#

I think he might have an extreme processor

#

Yes that's why

#

You can't play on 1440p with a 1060

prime jasper
#

hes not running it at 1440p@144 at ultra

sour ivy
#

No he's running at 6

#

60

prime jasper
#

eww

sour ivy
#

Didn't see that part

#

He's saving for a 144hz

prime jasper
#

he has a 1080ti and cant afford a xb750ql amiibixqui?

#

thats weird

sour ivy
#

Idk

prime jasper
#

they are like $400

quiet chasm
#

SO I GOT 180 FPS ON LOW NOW

sour ivy
#

Yep

prime jasper
#

Yay!

sour ivy
#

Put it on ultra

#

And see what ya get

prime jasper
#

no

#

dont run it at ultra

#

low with hbao and ssao

sour ivy
#

Run it at whatever you want

prime jasper
#

for best frame rates

quiet chasm
#

I make settings all ultra , and got 110 fps

sour ivy
#

Turn effects down to low

#

As suggested by pht it makes game run better and you don't get as much fog

prime jasper
#

its what I run it at with my under $1000 pc

#

because I paid less than a grand for this

quiet chasm
#

win 15 fps

sour ivy
#

?

prime jasper
#

1440p on this game isnt that great

sour ivy
#

^

prime jasper
#

makes targets hard to spot from range

#

without a scope

quiet chasm
#

thanks you guys

#

gonna test it

sour ivy
#

Np

#

Let us know if you need anything else

#

Seeya on the battlefield :)

prime jasper
#

good thing I asked for the cpuz marks

#

see information is best

sour ivy
#

^

#

Yeah I wouldn't have known he was running on 1440p xd

prime jasper
#

I wasnt even looking at that

#

I was trying to see if his drivers were updated

sour ivy
#

Haha

#

Do you know when next gen of nvidia coming out

prime jasper
#

yes

sour ivy
#

When

prime jasper
#

NDA

sour ivy
#

Oh lol

#

Wait who do you work for

#

I thought you said you had a parts store

prime jasper
#

No

sour ivy
#

Maybe that was someone else

prime jasper
#

I own a repair shop that fixes mostly servers

#

we do a lot of PCB fab also

sour ivy
#

Ah

prime jasper
#

that reminds me Im going to miss computex this year

sour ivy
#

So there's a chance the 7700 wouldn't work with my board?

prime jasper
#

just make sure your bios is updated to the most current

#

it should work

sour ivy
#

It's highkey a bad board

prime jasper
#

let me check

#

Thats super low end

#

to me at least

#

yes

#

they can as long as the bio is updated

#

i forgot h110 boards existed

sour ivy
#

Yea

#

Ill probably upgrade it

#

Can you recommend me a new one @prime jasper

#

Thanks

prime jasper
#

as I said, if youre changing the mobo go with the 8600k

#

and not a 7700

#

yes the K is worth the extra cost

#

it allows you to get more bang for the buck from the processor

#

but for boards, that all depends on what youre after

#

I dont know low end stuff

#

that being said, I have brand loyalty to asus

#

never had an issue with an asus pcb

strong breach
#

Asus has some Quality Products ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

prime jasper
#

Gigabyte are also good if you go high end, their low ends are only good for starting a dumpster fire

#

asus low ends tend to be good

strong breach
#

i really should buy a new PC or some parts at least

#

from 2013

prime jasper

its not bad

I have a second pc for streaming

strong breach
#

oof I wish i had that

prime jasper
#

I stole it from an employee who owned me a few grand

strong breach
sour ivy
#

Idk

#

So the i7 7700 is worse than 8600k?

prime jasper
#

yes

strong breach
#

yup

sour ivy
#

Oof

#

Even when it's not overclocked?

prime jasper
#

6 core 6 thread vs 4 core 8 thread

strong breach
#

yes

#

8600k is ๐Ÿ’ฏ / ๐Ÿ’ฏ

prime jasper
#

8600k is legit one of the best processors on the market

sour ivy
#

Good

prime jasper
#

its probably the best performance per dollar

sour ivy
#

And will this cooler be ok for some slight overclocking

prime jasper
#

which cooler?

strong breach
#

i don't know anything about CPU OC:ing

sour ivy
prime jasper
#

I'd get a new cooler

sour ivy
#

This is the one I have rn

prime jasper
#

thats not even good enough for a 7700

sour ivy
#

O

#

Ok

strong breach
#

what is your CPU Temperature on idle Riel?

sour ivy
#

I don't really want to water cool it though

#

Not at home rn

prime jasper
#

you dont need to water cool

strong breach
#

oh okay

sour ivy
#

I'd say around 40 c

strong breach
#

wait this reminds me i gotta clean my PC today laeSleep

#

gonna do it now or else ill just postpone it

#

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป bai for a bit

sour ivy
#

Pce

prime jasper
#

later

sour ivy
#

Recommend me a good mid tier mobo for overclocking?

#

If you know one

prime jasper
#

I think its the strix-e

#

whats the price range of midtier?

sour ivy
#

Idk

#

Like 80-120

prime jasper
#

hmm

#

umm

sour ivy
#

Unless I dont need to overclock

prime jasper
#

I'd say the 1600x has better performance per dollar

#

it doesnt

#

I have one next to me

sour ivy
#

Amd

prime jasper
#

its a peice of shit and I wish I never bought 10 of them for my lan set up

sour ivy
#

I don't like

#

It scare me

prime jasper
#

ive had nothing but issues with ryzen

#

Jeez Louise

sour ivy
#

I've heard horror stories about amd

prime jasper
#

I have 1600x and my friend is on a 2600x

#

AMD isnt that bad

#

Both of our CPUs are running smooth as ever

#

I just have nothing but issues

#

8600k is more powerful but also more expensive

#

between memory compatibility issues, the bad single thread performance

#

I bought my CPU before Coffee Lake even released so I'm good

north crow
#

I've been happy with my 1600, though it's only been used for work, not gaming

prime jasper
#

Sounds like you're just beat @prime jasper

#

no

#

I do this for a living

#

1600 is great for work loads

#

I have a 1700 in a render farm

#

its not bad

#

but for gaming its been trash

#

What do you mean "no"

#

im not beat

#

You are beat

#

how?

sour ivy
#

Dont all benchmarks show that Intel is better

prime jasper
#

It basically just means unlucky or unfortunate. I said that because of your AMD issues

sour ivy
#

Almost all

prime jasper
#

@sour ivy Depends on the CPU

#

its not unlucky though

#

this is a very common well known issue with amd

#

Oh my gosh

#

they have a ton of memory compatibility issues

#

It was just a saying

#

Your issues are exactly why you're beat

#

doesnt make sense as a saying

#

Im not beat though

#

You just said you had issues with the Ryzen

#

this is a very common issue with the zen architecture

#

mostly with memory compatibility

#

yes

#

I know, anyone that has that issue's beat

#

It's not a negative thing

#

im not beat though

#

But you are

#

Im not

#

Like, you stub your toe, and I'll say "You're beat"

#

Im perfectly awake

#

What

#

No if I stub my toe I yell "fuck my life"

#

Close enough

#

why'd I yell im beat?

#

Im not beat

#

The way I said it has nothing to do with tiredness

#

The way you said it I've never heard anywhere ever

#

O k a y

#

I don't expect you to know every phrase from each corner of the world

#

what corner is that saying from?

#

#

Im in philly

#

never heard that saying here ever

#

I'm in Pitt

#

I've heard dozens of people say it

#

I dont hang out with people below my tax bracket normally

i keep getting this error and nothing on google is giving me a fix. does anyone know how i can fix this?

prime jasper

Update your driver

silent mural

i did

prime jasper

Ddu it then reinstall

silent mural
#

i did
i also fresh installed windows

#

and now origin crashed out of nowhere

#

what the fuck

#

i wasn't even doing anything

prime jasper
#

origin crashes a lot period

quartz canopy
#

maybe manually uninstall/reinstall Origin?

#

๐Ÿค”

Might be a good idea

silent mural

first time i've ever seen origin crash

#

just decided to add insult to injury i guess

#

reinstalled everything again and am still getting the error

quartz canopy
silent mural
#

i'll try

prime jasper
#

are you trying to play bf1 or bf4?

quartz canopy
#

Do the bottom steps, so it completely removes everything

silent mural
#

battlefield 4

prime jasper
silent mural
#

give me a bit i'll try both

quartz canopy

๐Ÿ‘

i reinstalled everything, ran everything through firewall, added battlefield 4 to the new punkbuster file, scanned and repaired and launched origin in admin
the first step really isn't possible for me so i skipped that
still getting the error

have you tried contacting support to see if there's anything else you can try?

roll back the driver?

today

rigid knoll
#

Does it happen with all games, or just some/one?

silent mural
#

just this one

#

first time i've ever seen this error

#

and after so many attempts to fix this i'm left confused on what to do

rigid knoll
#

Which game is it?

silent mural
#

bf4

compact thunder
#

i might need some help. i used to play the bf1 beta back then and it ran just fine. no issues. today i decided to finally buy it and it runs absolutely horrible.
like, i dropped all my settings to low and i am still hitting maybe 40fps max with drops down to the low 20s or even 10. played a round on sinai desert and getting close to the village made the game unplayable due to all the stutter.
pc is not overheating, drivers are up to date, no issue in other games.
i5 2500k, 8gb ram and a gtx 980 is what i have as well as win10. any ideas? found some stuff on google but most is old or was about issues after certain patches that seem to have been fixed.
i also disabled DX12 since my menus lagged like hell before that

rigid knoll
#

Try to figure out if it's your cpu or gpu bottlenecking. There are software which allows you the utilisation of each. I guess it's the cpu, bf1 uses it very heavily, and the update to fix the meltdown/spectre vuln didn't help

compact thunder
#

its most definitely the CPU, i am just surprised how horrible the performance got over these 2 years so that i cant play multiplayer at all anymore

rigid knoll
#

@compact thunder try on an empty server

compact thunder
#

sp works just fine on max, 1440p with 75fps on average. will try an empty server in a sec

rigid knoll
#

For some reason, I think Amiens is worst of the maps performance wise for me. Dunno if it's about player density on the map or what

compact thunder
#

argonne forest, empty server and high settings: 90fps with drops to the low 70s. sometimes when shooting i completely randomly even drop into the 50s. reload a mag at the same place and shoot again and the fps stay stable

#

there is also some noticable microstutter every now and then, even though the fps are at around 80-100

rigid knoll
#

Nothing else running on the background while playing?

#

Sometimes those random stutters and dips can be really time consuming to figure out

compact thunder
#

only bf1, discord and origin

compact thunder
#

mhm.. updated drivers, clicked around in the settings and restarted my pc. this time landed on suez and it somewhat worked.
what i did notice however is that, similar to sinai, my fps drop down into the low 60s/50s whenever i look towards the town

sour ivy
#

Your cpu is way too old for battlefield 1 @compact thunder

compact thunder
#

then why did it run just fine before?

sour ivy
#

When the game first came out, it ran better on old CPUs. Now it doesn't. Your cpu is from 2010, it's time for a new one :) @compact thunder

trim garnet
sour ivy
#

What's your cpu

#

@trim garnet

trim garnet
#

i7 7700k

sour ivy
#

Gpu?

trim garnet
#

ASUS ROG GTX 1050ti 4GB OC

prime jasper
#

@compact thunder do not run the game at 1440p Thats your main issue. Also lower your settings, max settings are super resource demanding

sour ivy
#

@compact thunder you were running at 1440p!???

prime jasper
#

yes

#

thats what he said

sour ivy
#

Didn't see that

compact thunder
#

i forgot to mention that i had the 10h trial last year. i played it back then and it ran good aswell.
also yes 1440p for years now
and i also said that i am not playing on max in multiplayer, i even said that i tried the lowest settings

sour ivy
#

@prime jasper isn't trashash bottlenecking cpu?

prime jasper
#

run the game at 1080p

sour ivy
#

50 percent graphics card 98 cpu?

prime jasper
#

umm a lot can cause that

sour ivy
#

1050ti W 7700k

prime jasper
#

7700k wont bottleneck on this game, the 1050ti will

sour ivy
#

Idk @trim garnet let pth help you

trim garnet
#

oki thanks

compact thunder
#

run the game at 1080p
i did. lowest settings included turning down the resolution. also res isnt really CPU intensive

sour ivy
#

I meant the gpu is bottlenecking

trim garnet
#

And JUP ~55% gpu usage and 100% cpu usage :(

prime jasper
#

no but the game in general is

#

Ash, are you trying to stream the game?

trim garnet
#

only obs is opened. I'm not even trying to record otherwise I'm playing with 30fps or so

#

:(

prime jasper
#

shut it down still

#

5% on idle is a lot

sour ivy
#

Trash what fps are you getting

trim garnet
#

i'll send a screen when i'm ingame

#

30fps is trash :)

sour ivy
#

Yeah but how much ballpark

#

Is it 60?

#

144?

trim garnet
#

ballpark?

sour ivy
#

I stay on 60 fps even when my cpu is getting really high in usage

#

Ballpark (educated guess)

trim garnet
#

huh

#

i know what those words mean but i dont get it

#

xd

sour ivy
#

Like how much fps do you think you're getting w obs closed

trim garnet
#

uhm lemme check

#

100+fps

#

at least

sour ivy
#

Is that consistent?

trim garnet
#

I'm not ingame now, matchmaking atm,

#

most of the time, yes :D

sour ivy
#

Well that's not accurate dude

#

Load in

#

And tell me

trim garnet
#

jup

prime jasper
#

I have an 8700k and it does that

#

I'll hit 100% load frequently

sour ivy
#

^

#

If you're still getting good performance its fine

trim garnet
#

I want good performance when recording XD

#

cause i could record BF1 before but not anymore

prime jasper
#

you'll need a better graphics card

#

a way better one

trim garnet
#

yeah i was planning to get a 1060 6GB in a week or so

sour ivy
#

As battlefield 1 progressed the performance got worse so you're not alone

prime jasper
#

I would highly suggest avoiding 1060s

trim garnet
#

ok i get 90-100fps

prime jasper
#

the 1070tis are around MSRP now

trim garnet
#

with some shit opened

prime jasper
#

and 1060s are still grossly over MSRP

trim garnet
#

true

sour ivy
#

I think it's going down

prime jasper
#

Not really
