1070, 1070ti and 1080 all went down
sour ivy
It's hard to build a budget pc now a days
prime jasper
1060 is still high
trim garnet
I have the money to buy a 1070 but idk, I have to wait for my exam results. cause if i am graduated... i need to buy a new laptop
prime jasper
300-350(for low end micro cards/ref coolers) for something that bottlenecks on modern games
trim garnet
and 500$ for a 1070 is kinda much to me (400-450€)
sour ivy
? I dont have a micro card
sour ivy
It's a lot for most people
trim garnet
yeah, I live in EU :)

What country are you from

Lol evga selling a mini 1060 for 350
sour ivy
I know
prime jasper
if youre doing small formfactor, theyre great

cheapest 1070's (NEW)
prime jasper
thats evga though
trim garnet
wtf this is even more than 500 bucks
prime jasper
yes
trim garnet
idk if 1070's are worth it though, cause friends of mine can play bf1 high settings with a 1060 6gb
sour ivy
Can a 1070 mini even cool it's self at all
trim garnet
thats why a chose that one xd
sour ivy
Seems like it would overheat itself 24/7

@prime jasper expensive shit
prime jasper
yeah I remember a few months ago i was buying 1080tis for $1300 and reselling them in netherlands for $4000

silent mural
yep
the price went up when i cancelled cable
they pretty much force bundles
home phone on its own is 80 a month
there's really no comp in this part of Vegas so cox fucks everyone over
century link was gonna bring 1 gigabit connections to Whitney but for some reason they completely cancelled that project
30 dollars a month for gigabit in some parts of Vegas
sounds amazing
it took me 2 weeks to download black ops 2
since my connection was like 70kbs
black ops 3*
at least it's better than Jersey
i paid 300 a month for 5 mbps and only had a 300 gigabyte limit
if i take away unlimited i'll only be paying 150
probably for the best cause it's impossible to download 800 gigs a month with this fucking connection

That's so much money, sorry about that bro

multiplayer games dont want to support it because of the connotation behind it

why I say that? because there is an super- ultra wide

not to mention most just stretch the image over and never give an actual super/ultra

69:1 monitor pls
sour ivy
Who's with me
slate wave
21:9 is supported by a lot of games now a days
prime jasper
not comp games
they just do a simulated version that doesnt give extra fov
which was the appeal
some just default to 16:9

and tbh 2d games like rim world are the ones that benifit the most
happy with my setup
besides I have an excuse.....

hi
lost heron
$1000 to $1500
wind ocean
ok, well, what do you actually want to spend
lost heron
if i could keep it under $1600 it'd be great
wind ocean
ok, i'll shoot for 1500, then.
And, do you have peripherals like monitor, mouse, keyboard
AND
do you have a decent local craigslist
lost heron
yeah
wind ocean
ok, so i always recommend get the monitor used
dell 2408wfp has all the modern connectors, is good color accuracy, fully adjustable stand and fair resolution
and should be easy to find for 50 bucks or so
prime jasper
I dont recommend that after I bought one that had gay porn burnt into the monitor
lost heron
how the fuck does that happen?
wind ocean
critical that savings be had, so get the dell 2408wfp if at all possible, they are very solid, and main fairlure is an easy to replace powersupply.
and it is a no-burn in type panel, so no undesired porn will appear.
mine were used, 80 the pair a couple years ago, and no issues at all
still very bright and good color
prime jasper
You can get better monitors than the dell 2408wfp for not that much more
wind ocean
not really, no
prime jasper
really yes
prime jasper
I own a pc repair and resale shop
wind ocean
cool
so 50 or less of craigslist
go
one that you can reliably 100% of the time say it will be good if it turns on and has no defects when tested
prime jasper
1500 and youre after a bad monitor
lost heron
i was planning on getting 2 msi optix monitors but if i can go cheaper i will
wind ocean
no, save money
prime jasper
I can get GN246HL for $80-120 on my craigslist
prime jasper
yes it is
wind ocean
No, it isn't stop derailing and leave
wind ocean
LOL mine is bad, and he links a crappy tn panel
doesn't even have DP
SMH
it lists DYNAMIC contrast
HAH
prime jasper
HZ is more important than IPS
prime jasper
60hz panels are bad
wind ocean
get the 2408WFP, you'll be grateful for the savings
wind ocean
they don't source: i game on them, and have no problems at all.
prime jasper
I have millions of problems on them
They have garbage input lag
enough to where you're better off getting a 24 inch TV
because those are cheaper
and have speakers
better off spending more money on a better monitor
also they are $100 on ebay, so chances of them being cheaper on craigslist are low
wind ocean
whatever dude, i can get them at goodwill fully working for like 30
and input lag?
lol
whatever dude
enjoy spending money needlessly on crap upgrades

its pinned on the easter info and also the bf1ee chat

either way, if youre going with a 60hz monitor, stick to console. Just buy a xim4 if you want mkb. Why spend over a grand to get the exact same performance as something that's $400(+yearly online fees)?
its not like our community is that much better, it's about the same level of cancerous

I7 8086k is coming next week, at least the pre-orders, when is coming z390? At the same time or later?
prime jasper
8086k is just a 8700k that is factory overclocked
it only costs $100 more
I might buy one simply because it will probably be a binned one
undone terrace
Yes they are binned, the best 8700k become 8086k. It is cheap compared to websites selling pre binned 8700k. People buying 8700k now and in the future have less chance to have good chip because all the good batches are 8086k lol
prime jasper
As I said I'll probably buy a 8086k
Because I can sell a friend the 8700k I have
he's broke and needs a new system
I can sell him the chip for like $250
which he'd take on the spot
fiery aspen
60hz isn’t too bad
Plus you get 1080p ultra depending on gpu
Even if it is only 60hz
Also just use the fast vat bc option if it’s an nvidia gpu
WHAT
auto correct
Not vat
VSYNC
prime jasper
you mean gsync
vsync is in every game
freesync is amd
60hz is good if you're buying a low end pc, if youre buying something modern and midteir you normally can pull off higher than 60
wind ocean
400w core, is that the same as 400w from the pcie?
silent tapir
Stick with 60hz, it will cost you less short- and long-term
Your eyes will get so used to 144fps that you will be spending them hundreds on your gpu way earlier to maintain that framerate
feral mango
30hz master race
fiery aspen
hehe xd
@prime jasper its not gsync its an option that u can enable in th e control panel
and it keeps fps but still does vsync but doesnt have as much input delay
sour ivy
69hz
prime jasper
Vsync is not exclusive to Nvidia, gsync is.
@silent tapir thats far from true stop spreading lies. I can easily go from 144 to 60, and I'm used to 240hz monitors. 60 just looks choppy. Always aim for over 60. 100 is good enough.
prime jasper
now thats something ive never heard and when I was a medical researcher we did stuff based around high frame rates and how easily the eye can track them, ever encountered someone that got motion sick off higher than 75, we encountered motion sickness but that happened even at 30.
feral mango
Motion sickness or headaches or migraines or whatever
Semantics, it just feels kind of awful for me
30 master race

would you be willing to commit to a blind framerate test?

sour ivy
Why the hell would you like 30 hz
prime jasper
honestly I couldnt play bf1 at 60, even before I was using a 144hz monitor
I saw a noticeable stats leap when I switched my rx480 for a gtx1070, then a small improvement when I used a r5 1600.
sour ivy
30 fps is disgusting to look at
weak nebula
My PC Specs :
Core i5 4440
HyperX Savage 8 GB 1866 MHz DDR3
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H
MSi GTX 1050 2 GB 2GT OC
No matter settings I play on it lags very much, I get about 35-50 FPS (mostly 40/42 FPS)
I've seen people on YouTube getting 60 FPS with the same specs. Even 720p Lowest Settings Lags too much.
How do I fix it?
@sour ivy now tell
sour ivy
Ok I'll first tell you one thing
Your cpu is too old
And it's far under minimum cpu requirements
That being said, when you play, what are your temperatures
And what is your ram usage while In game
Also, is HDR on or off in your video settings
And is dx12 on in your video settings
sour ivy
100 percent is completely normal
Especially considering your cpu
What are your cpu temps under full load
weak nebula
Oka wait
twin tendon
I have an i5-6500 with a GTX 970, 16gb ram and I get FPS drops, down to 10, 20 fps in heavy firefights especially in Operations
not surprised you get lags @weak nebula . @sour ivy is right, your rig is below the minimum specs.
twin tendon
disabled for both.
sour ivy
What do your temps look like in game
twin tendon
one sec, i have a screenshot from sometime ago
twin tendon
yes. sorry i can't find the screenshot but i remember it's stable around 76 degrees celsius (limited via MSI Afterburner)
sour ivy
Can you check for me
That's odd
I do get lag spikes with my 6500
But never that low
twin tendon
Funny thing though, a month ago I was super frustrated with the lags so I reset all video settings to default... and without touching anything else I went and played a game and I was getting 70-80 FPS......... it was like I had a new rig
I would play for a few hours and then suddenly get a huge lag spike and it's back to its old laggy state with the fps drops
sour ivy
Hm
twin tendon
the 10-20 fps drops were during heavy firefights in my immediate vicinity. But usually around 40-50 consistently
sour ivy
I get spikes sometimes, I usually just reset my pc and it plays just fine
But never that low
twin tendon
yeah!!! me too!!
i do that when i get lag spikes, and jumping back in again I would get above 60 fps
sour ivy
There's something you can try that kind of helped my performance, but if you do it wrong you'll need to install the game. It doesn't always help tho
twin tendon
until i get a huge lag spike and it turns to shit again
paper lark
Me and you both have a 1050 2gb
twin tendon
what is it? I tried setting Priority to Above Normal on Task Manager, can't tell if it helps
sour ivy
- Completely log out and close down Origin
- Hold down the Windows key and RType 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 R
- Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK
- This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData.
- Delete the Origin folderClick on the word "AppData" at the top of your window
9.Open the Local folder here
10.Delete the Origin folder listed here - Restart your PC and log back into Origin
- Reset your video settings
twin tendon
that's a pretty long list
is there some sort of inefficiency that we're trying to manually fix?
i mean what does the fix do?
twin tendon
doesn't Origin clear its cache regularly?
BF4 plays like a complete dream though. On default settings I get up to 150+ FPS
default are on Medium, untouched.
twin tendon
k. I uninstalled BF1 on this rig (jumped ship to an alienware recently with an i7), so I'll reinstall it first
wait, if I reinstall then i wouldn't know if your solution works, then, as the cache would have been flushed, no? @sour ivy
feral mango
Riel, I hate a crap PC+Xbone for quite a while, so 30 frames is perfectly plenty for me
60fps is still preferable though
feral mango
I uh
Didn't suggest otherwise
Maybe I should bold every for me or add my patented "But hey, that's just MY opinion 😜 " at the end of everything I say
feral mango
Okay mehn

you Mean GPU?
weak nebula
I HAVE TO CHECK AGAIN
sour ivy
Ok, no need to use CAPS bro
twin tendon
@sour ivy right, so it's pointless for me to do the solution right now :p
i'll do it next time i encounter lag spikes
sour ivy
Just give it a shot if you're lagging
It's not a constant solution
You do it once in a while
It worked for me but it hasn't worked for everyone
weak nebula
@sour ivy i have the results
CPU Temps : Somewhere Around 69-75
VRAM Usage : 1650-1880
Mostly 1835
@sour ivy any fix?
sour ivy
What other games do you play
@weak nebula
In video settings do you have dx12 on M
Do you have HDR on?
I hate to break it to you, but your cpu is far under the minimum specs of battlefield 1, so you should and cannot expect 60 fps
sour ivy
@weak nebula what year are these videos from, where it can run at 60fps
prime jasper
he can run 60 if he put everything to low
I know someone who falls well below the minimum and runs at 60 with a worse system than that one he has

but I also dont understand why people want to go out to a bar with friends when drinking at home is cheaper
feral mango
Because social interaction can be bretty cool
quartz canopy
Better to invest in high end first, imo. Investing in a low end, then upgrading is 🤢
quartz canopy
I did that out of stupidity, and it's expensive as hell to upgrade everything
feral mango
Hey somebody tell me how to get my laptop to stop overheating
prime jasper
yes
quartz canopy
Put some ice on it
quartz canopy
Lol
feral mango
Thermal paste was replaced several months ago
quartz canopy
🤥
prime jasper
never use icdiamond on direct die
and dont use kryonaut
I only want a laptop that can run at least recent games at lowest 720p settings without overheating
use hydronaught
But then I look at Final Fantasy XV
rip.
youre using a vapor chamber
feral mango
How much'll a change in thermal paste type actually affect?
prime jasper
not much
but for direct dye you need to have a very specific amount
its actually a hard job for beginners
aeronaught actually might be better
yes doing low end has specific uses here
if the transfer to the vapor chamber is too much it cant dissipate heat as well
did you check the fan?
feral mango
Fans are all clear.
I didn't do the thermal paste replacement myself because I don't want to mess around with laptop components.
prime jasper
always do it yourself
its not that hard
I see too many techs do it wrong
my last tech I trained it took 9 months to train for paste application on laptops
he didnt get it
at all
feral mango
Ah.... but.... muh warranty.....
prime jasper
you can open your system without voiding it
thats been a law for years
it just recently got enforced.
feral mango
Oh, really.
I can do thermal paste just fine, but I really didn't feel comfortable doing laptops.
prime jasper
just get proper tools
feral mango
Don't have anything right now, I'll need to buy
Might as well get it mor'r're right.
prime jasper
Toothpaste!!!!
No sarcasm best thing!
just buy kryo if youre buying it now
no
dont use toothpaste
that meme needs to die
feral mango
Hey if it works it works.
prime jasper
it doesnt work
feral mango
Nah. I can wait for a clear answer if you know what you're doing.
It's nothing urgent, I've been using this for quite a while.
prime jasper
I'd say just buy the high end right now
the difference isnt that major
its all with in a few C
feral mango
Main thing is fans ramping up like jet engines literally all the time.
prime jasper
My laptop had an issue where it over heated so I used one of those giant window fans to cool it
I put it on top of the fan
it worked
feral mango
Sent back to distributor. Yeah, 100oc peak temperatures under medium load is totally normal.
I have a cooling pad, gets the job done, it's alright.
prime jasper
what brand?
feral mango
Generic.
prime jasper
no the laptop
prime jasper
thats not a bad one
Ive seen them in the store a few times
I still stick to asus because they have a great rma system
feral mango
Yeah, definitely.
prime jasper
they do come at a massive premium though
feral mango
Couldn't stand how their high end laptops looked though.
prime jasper
their prebuilts?
prime jasper
I think this lookes pretty good
Nice
its a high end asus
and yes asus sells prebuilts
just rare
feral mango
Oh, I asked if they sold customs.
prime jasper
they have a ton of phones
Damn it sucks waiting for my PC parts to come in the mail
google zenphone
prime jasper
they suck
so
its forgivable
I have an honor 7x, I dont see why I need something more powerful to make phone calls
feral mango
Anyways, Phtein, do get back to me if you have anything else you recommend I do for this fellow.
prime jasper
anyone recommend a good 4k monitor
I have a ton of ways to cool laptops
most are just not the best ideas
A good 4k monitor iosnt out yet
it'll be out later this year
its 4k 144hz
feral mango
That don't involve a ridiculous excess of noise.
prime jasper
LN2 cool it
Hm I guess I will stick to 1440p for now
I'm probably always within the least popular opinion when it comes to phones 🤔
feral mango
I GOT A COOLING PAD AND I UNDERVOLT AS FAR AS IT GOES. WHAT ELSE IS THHHHEEEERRRRE.
prime jasper
you have an iphone?
oh boy
Nah, a Sony
they have good cameras
👍
But I don't think I've ever seen someone speak of Sony unless I mention it myself
because they arent common phone to see
feral mango
Hey mehn Blackberry 4 lyfe.
feral mango
The passports are sleek as fugk though.
prime jasper
its easy to puncture them
feral mango
How do I tell?
quartz canopy
I had a Blackberry Storm
prime jasper
ive never owned a blackberry
feral mango
HOW DO I TELL IF I GOT A PUNCTURED VAPOR CHAMBAH MEHN.
prime jasper

quartz canopy
Back before Samsung Galaxy was cool 
feral mango
Right. I'll @ you with a picture in a few weeks, when I have the time to open this fella up.
feral mango
Thanks. 👍
quartz canopy
Slide into those DMs
prime jasper
🤔 🤔
quartz canopy
Changed your name?
feral mango
god, is the ASUS Zephyrus a piece of engineering work.
quartz canopy
👀
prime jasper
It's a Final Fantasy XII reference, not expecting anyone to know what it is :P
quartz canopy
Haven't played it, so
prime jasper
Exactly, haven't seen many people who play FF games either, so yeah >.>
Well, it's 2 AM, imma poof
gn
quartz canopy
Adios 👋
quartz canopy
I know :P
prime jasper
yeah? Well Im going to the store
I'm buying coffee
thats cheaper and more fun than a convention I wanted to go to...
prime jasper
its cheap bulk coffee
so not that great
If I buy good coffee I cant use that money to feed my addiction
quartz canopy
prime jasper
I inject thermal paste into my veins
quartz canopy
That's healthy
quartz canopy
prime jasper
Im the coolest
quaint topaz
going to buy coffee
making it yourself
my kind of coffee is the best.
3-5 tbsp of dark Nescafe
and water
quartz canopy
Cheap coffee
quartz canopy
Yet some places charge like $14 per lb
quaint topaz
I only had starbucks once
was at the Airport in turkey
in a hurry
burnt my tongue
prime jasper
I cant stand starbucks
quartz canopy
Some is good, though
quaint topaz
biased employee
quartz canopy
prime jasper
none is good**
quartz canopy
Depends on what you get
prime jasper
I'd rather pay a coffee dude $30 an hour and have him bring us high end coffee than gop get an intern to run to starbucks
quartz canopy
I was there for 7 years, and only drank their seasonal blends they came out with for holidays and stuff
What I don't understand is how people can go there 5x a day..
prime jasper
how do people get jobs at starbucks?
quartz canopy
But hey, it contributed to my paycheck 😄
