Yes but you need to press a switch to do it and/or you need to make the device yourself. It's pretty cheap to make one, only costs around $300

chilly lichen
#

Is that the only way? Bc I'm not spending $300

prime jasper
#

yes, it requires also programming knowledge because you have to build a custom dac for it

chilly lichen
#

well screw that then

#

any good recommendations for mics which can be used on both ps4 and pc?

prime jasper
#

not at the same time, no

#

if you dont mind unplugging cables

#

every time you can always just go with the gold standard of HyperX Cloud 2

chilly lichen
#

hmmm

#

okay

#

ty

prime jasper
#

@agile rain could also wait for the new stuff right

#

1-3months for the custom designs is my guess, unless they are postponing stuff

Breaking Tech News: Western Digital is shutting down their Hard drive factory at the end of 2019

rotund pendant

theyre being replaced by ssd factories

prime jasper
#

Seagate is better. I have a barracuda hdd and it runs 100,000,000 times faster than my western digital drive (that I use as a spare) lmao

prime jasper
#

Wait

#

WD not makin hdds anumore? After 2019?

I'm still only playing any BF on console.

#

I don't want to buy it in origin

#

On origin*

#

I'm getting all of that

#

Very soon

#

Hopefully this month or next.

Looks sexy af

prime jasper
#

well it does use an i9

#

which is not a chip for laptops

turbid verge
#

pretty much

#

I mean the current ones arent rly build for laptop, doesnt mean in the future they make ones that are but still i9 in general arent that great

lofty light
#

Isn't the i9 just the equivalent of the old i7 7700HQ though?

prime jasper
#

no

#

its closer to an 8700k

#

6 cores and they say it has a turbo of 4.5

flint locust
#

yea basically an 8700k

prime jasper
#

which already have throttling issues with good coolers

agile rain
#

Probably gonna order a 1060 on my next check

#

Already have someone lined up to buy my 960

prime jasper
#

how much you selling it for?

agile rain
#

Like 130

prime jasper
#

well if he doesnt buy it I'll buy it from you for 90+shipping

#

well my store will

agile rain
#

I am pretty sure either I will sell it to him or someone locally. I posted up that FX4100 and its board and sold it within a couple hours, to the guy who is wanting to buy my 960 XD

#

Although the 960 will be to replace his wife's 750ti

prime jasper
#

I need to find a cheap gpu for system testing

agile rain
#

Literally could get anything

prime jasper
#

I want one with an hdmi port

#

so no not really

agile rain
#

Most have an hdmi port by now mad

prime jasper
#

1070s are cheap right?

#

like $450

#

I'll just buy one of those

#

I dont know of anything thats below that

agile rain
#

$300 is already pushing it for me πŸ‘€

#

I only work for like another month and still have other expenses

#

haha, you got hit by the autofilter :3

prime jasper
#

whoops wrong chat

#

I thought this was dms

prime jasper
#

Im on my phone

#

so I only see the chat stream

#

either way stop buying so much makeup

agile rain
#

I do what I want mad

prime jasper
#

$300 is what a normal person makes per hour

#

if thats pushing it for you

astral merlin
#

Yeah $300 per hour

prime jasper
#

yeah

#

is it higher?

#

am I under paying my employees?

agile rain
#

But my profile picture though, that makeup was worth it to look fab ;3

astral merlin
#

it's his money. let em do what he wants

prime jasper
#

No

#

It's my money

agile rain
astral merlin
prime jasper
#

so how much do normal people get paid?

agile rain
#

8.25 an hour mad

prime jasper
#

$825? thats way too much

#

I cant afford that

astral merlin
#

Wait that has to be the minimum wage for one state

#

Or is it not

prime jasper
#

minimum wage is $825 an hour?

#

the fuck

#

I dont even make that much

astral merlin
#

thonk is this /s

agile rain
#

Not 825 you dumb

prime jasper
#

you said 825

agile rain
astral merlin
lofty light
#

I swear, you must have the driest sense of sarcasm I've ever seen

prime jasper
#

impressive isnt it?

astral merlin
#

I love me some good sarcasm but this is pushing it

prime jasper
#

seriously though, I thought minimum wage was $15 an hour

astral merlin
#

pfft if only

lofty light
#

Depends on the country

prime jasper
#

well then thats my minimum wage

#

because 34 hours a week is a lot of time to spend at work

astral merlin
#

You should try 60 like my manager

lofty light
#

Isn't that what Bernie Sanders wanted for minimum wage?

prime jasper
#

no clue

quartz canopy
prime jasper
#

what if its about my company that deals in tech?

lofty light
#

Ph doesn't leave this channel, we can't go anywhere else

#

Macbook users here?

ocean valve
#

Yes i have a 2016 macbook pro

prime jasper
#

woo macbook users!

#

i might Get the new 2018 one

#

15" base model

ocean valve
#

Nice. Good machine but sooo expensive

prime jasper
#

yea

#

luckily not paying for it myself

#

im on the edge of choosing Windows or Apple

#

and i gave the new macbooks a new name already

#

Donglebook Pro

ocean valve
#

If you plan on gaming alot i wouldnt recomment the macbook but otherwise i wouldnt use anything else

prime jasper
#

i mean im starting to travel alot

#

and school work and Music production, Video editing and picture editing

#

I might game a little, But with the radeon pro 555 its not that big of a problem, Planning to mostly play story games like Life is strange and firewatch

ocean valve
#

Yeah then macbook is a solid pick especially for video and picture editing. Perfect for travelling Post a picture when you buy it!

prime jasper
#

im going to get it in like, September i think, But ill be sure to post a pic :)

#

I really REALLY hope i get it before my trip to Saint petersburg in russia

#

im going to be sitting around 3 hours in a plane and 3 in a train

prime jasper
#

Dont buy macbook 2018, they break in two seconds

summer bronze
#

apple products

prime jasper
#

i mean

#

macbooks get alot of hate

#

but they have their purpose

agile rain
#

They are poorly engineered these days

#

Core i9 that cant even retain base clock unless its in a F R E E Z E R

prime jasper
#

ikr

#

thats why every video isee of the i9 macbook, i comment "2 words "Thermal Throttling"

#

but im investing in the basemodel

#

Might pick up the one with 560 instead of 555x as its only 20 euros more expensive

agile rain
#

No thanks, imma pickup a GTX1060 soon for my Ryzen 1600 system then imma be good, next step will be a VR headset

prime jasper
#

i have 1060 already

#

the Msi one is a BEast

#

overclocked to the Magical 2ghz

agile rain
#

I haven't chosen which one Im getting. There is the Zotac AMP edition for $300

prime jasper
#

how muchs the MSi one?

agile rain
#

Idk

prime jasper
#

i would recommend msi

#

or strix OC

agile rain
#

All I know is $300 limit

prime jasper
#

oh

#

well the the Amp is your best bet

agile rain
#

Regardless the 1060 is a beast πŸ˜›

that i can play any game above 60

#

with Hight to Max graphics

agile rain
#

I just knew things were getting dicey when BFV alpha had to turn all settigns to low and 900P to get it playable, although the performance for the alpha was shit across the board

prime jasper
#

Still better than consolesLUL

#

I might pickup some pc parts from Russia when im visiting there

agile rain
#

Well with console they are able to use tricks to squeeze more performance out

#

Just look at God of War on PS4

prime jasper
#

yea

agile rain
#

One of the best looking games of all time, literally

prime jasper

SORRY IM POOR ):<

prime oak
#

Soooo what is better?
A Titan V for 3000$
Or
2x 1080 TI's for 2000$

prime jasper
#

Titan V, SLI 1080tis barely work because of bandwidth limitations unless you're using an i9

#

not to mention that with sli you technically only get a small boost over a single card, which ranges from 20-50% of the second card on average.

#

Plus a game would have to support SLI, which a lot dont fully enable since it's such a small minority of people with them, they just leave it on single card mostly.

#

Has anyone recently been getting save data conflicts? I can click on either of the options, but the game won’t start.

wet wharf
#

I m!! everytime I open the BF one I get data conflits

#

I tried to repair the game

#

and I still get thoses mensages

#

In my case, the game starts (i just clickt on the most recent)

prime jasper
#

just turn off cloud saves

#

cloud saves have never worked correctly anyways

wet wharf
#

OHH thanks!

Thanks @prime jasper

#

I’m not even sure how I started having these issues in the first place.

it's called Origin and EA

hum... why Intel, this is your fault

prime jasper
#

I think the analogy would be better fit as "lets put a modern processor in a macbook instead of a 15yo one

prime jasper
#

Apple is afraid to ramp up the fans and actually test the processors before

turbid verge
#

they want to keep their laptops compact of basically thin

#

means the wait to get heat out isnt great with a i9

#

or those copper pipes whatever they use

prime jasper

ooooHHHhHH

void sable
#

Is it worth it to upgrade to a GTX 1070 from a 970 just for a 144hz monitor?

#

I just got a monitor from a yard sale. I have never experienced looking at 144hz, how easy is it on the eyes?

prime jasper
#

i mean if you have the money

void sable
#

I suppose

prime jasper
#

go for it

low raft
#

still having issues

#

checked for updates and repaired the game. Nothing wrong there

#

@little flower PC Specs

little flower
#

reinsatlled windows twice

#

Intel i7-6700k

#

GTX 980 TI

#

Corsair LPX 16GB

glossy cove
#

So did you just buy the game?

#

DId it ever work?

little flower
#

I've had it for a while

glossy cove
#

Did you play and it worked fine?

little flower
#

before? yes

#

I'll join a vc might as well explain it trought there

#

MUCH faster that way

#

don't feel like typing 900 words again

glossy cove
#

Have you ran any benchmark games?

little flower
#

3dmark and such? not since reinstalling windows

glossy cove
#

You should try one. I'm guessing if it's a hardware problem it's your RAM or CPU that is broken

little flower
#

mhmmm idk

#

I was playing it earlier today before reinstalling windows

#

it was just performing poorly

#

50-60fps at high settings, vsync off, 1080p, res scale at 100

#

CPU usage at 60-70

#

GPU at 65

#

sometimes I'd get like 89 fps

#

but most of the time it was in the 50-60 range

glossy cove
#

You installed re-installed windows and that always fixes all software problems

little flower
#

I did reinstall windows, twice

glossy cove
#

I'm not a "tech guy" but that is my guess

#

I've had my RAM go broken and had same symptoms like you

#

I recommend you to try to benchmark your pc and see if theres any problmes

little flower
#

talking to support, which is one you dont need to restart pc to use?

glossy cove
#

@little flower one more guess. Do you run BF1 on DX12 or 11? And do you have unlimited memory setting on?

little flower
#

dx11

#

I believe I had memory guard or whatever off last time I played

#

I had it on the rest of the time tho

glossy cove
#

ok

#

I think the support guy can help you further from here. I recommend to see if there's is any hardware related problems since installing windows usually fixes everything.

#

I'm sorry if I wasn't helping

little flower
#

its ok, seems impossible

#

welp, he told me to reinstall my audio drivers and install my interface drivers did that. doesnt work

#

jesus

glossy cove
little flower
#

I'm starting to see the patterns they speak in

#

That's how bad it is

#

I know exactly what they'll say next

quartz canopy
#

By the looks of it, all they told you was to clear origin cache.

little flower
#

They've told me LOTS more

#

I've done alot of stuff

quartz canopy
#

It's crashing to desktop basically?

little flower
#

pretty much yea

#

doesnt show any icons

#

just, mouse cursor spiny animation

#

then origin pops up again as if nothing happened

quartz canopy
#

I've had that happen before, usually a full uninstall/reinstall of Origin works for me, or running both as Admin.

#

I've had it happen with other games as well, not just BF1.

#

So, they told you to do a Clean Boot, Clear Cache, uninstall/reinstall Origin, run origin as admin, and the BF1 exe file as Admin in program files? Did they also ask you to make another temporary windows user account, and try to launch it under that username?

little flower
#

fucking damnt

#

did the clean boot thing

#

ran both as admin

#

didnt work

#

this is a nightmare

quartz canopy
astral merlin
little flower
#

gonna go redownload it

#

agin

#

Ill try temp user if it doesnt work

quartz canopy
#

Sounds good

#

I know it gets annoying, it's happened to me before. But like I said, usually one of those steps I mentioned above does the trick most the time.

little flower
#

alright, so

#

it works now

#

But I'm afraid as soon as It's done downloading it'll stop working

#

so I guess I'll just stay ingame?

quartz canopy
#

Were you able to launch it?

little flower
#

well, now I can yea

quartz canopy
#

Should be fine if you exit the game, you'll have to eventually πŸ˜›

low raft
#

@quartz canopy I'm also getting the same issue

#

Which is interesting considering I reinstalled the damn game

quartz canopy
#

Try what I mentioned above for him, scroll up a bit woahtea

low raft
#

@quartz canopy so I have to uninstall origin and all my games, and then re-download it?

quartz canopy
#

No, just the origin app

#

And when you do that, make sure you turn off the overlay in the origin settings and BF1 game properties in Origin. It'll turn all that stuff back on if you reinstall.

low raft
#

@quartz canopy Apparently I can't uninstall Origin

#

It doesn't show in the control panel

quartz canopy
#

Follow the link I posted woahtea

low raft
#

I did

quartz canopy
#

Did you try both ways?

low raft
#

I just did the "simple" way

#

It literally doesn't show up

quartz canopy
#

Try the other one

#

What yall think? Id love to get some feedback

granite kestrel
#

What is your current monitor?

#

hz

silk echo
#

the one in there

lofty light
#

Good monitor πŸ‘Œ

prime jasper
#

I will give you a link to get cheap legit codes for win10, use that money on a mobo that isn't an over priced b350.

granite kestrel
#

I’ll always prefer hz over res personally

prime jasper
#

Also, I'd highly suggest getting 3000 or 3200mhz ram. It massively helps with performance and system stability with win10.

#

Also 550w psu means no overclocking headroom and longevity, doing 650w allows for future proofing with oc since psus degradate over time.

#

Other than that, everything else is good

silk echo
#

im not really planning on OC

#

Mind giving me suggestions on good ram then?

#

Just make it cheap πŸ˜„

prime oak
#

Hmmm. What about a 144hz monitor? Might be even a bit bette

#

My monitor has exact same Res but up to 200Hz

#

Well depends how Fluent u want it to have ofc

silk echo
#

I already have this one

prime oak
#

The Acer Predator Z35?

silk echo
#

The one in my list

#

34UM69G

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper Lol, that PSUs are degrading is a myth and not true. I know a reviewer of PSUs and that guy knows super much about PSUs. He has a whole topic about PSUs on a tech-website I'm a member of (it's the biggest tech-website of the Benelux). Anyway, here it is

#

And 'feeds' = PSUs

#

Food = PSU.... πŸ™„

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper it's actually not, there is a ton of proof of this plus I even have a 950w psu that is over 10yos that was a very high end one that can't supply more than 892w, it's not dozens of percent, it's small and barely noticeable but when you're dangerously close to the wattage cap like with an 8700k+1070, you'll have issues within a few years especially with an antec since they tend to cheap out on the capacitors. This being said, it takes years to see it. I can grab my documents later about it, I wrote a 1800 page research study for running home botnets and the system degradation overtime and how it inhibits AI learning ability.

#

@silk echo If you aren't planning on OC then don't get an 8700k, you're paying a ton extra for the ability to OC, you will also want to OC both the GPU and CPU if you're planning on running an ultrawide. Really with ram, 3200 isn't much more expensive, most cases its at lost $20 more for 16gb 3200mhz.

wet wharf
#

damm @prime jasper everytime I read somethign from you... I learn something

#

thanks man

prime jasper
#

No problem, I should learn how to be less blunt though. I seem very aggressive I've noticed.

silk echo
#

But the GHZ is higher when its OC

#

like factory

prime jasper
#

3.7 v 3.2 when you'll want 4.2 for games and 4.5 for ultrawide frame stability

#

turbo is also burst speed not a consistent speed

#

so don't include that in the equation

silk echo
#

So i should go for the K and OC?

prime jasper
#

plus you can save more money by getting a 8600k which is just 3.6 base, so not much less. The difference in gaming between an 8600k and an 8700k is less htan 1%

#

so unless you are doing professional workloads like video rendering, you can safely go to the i5

#

and save like $80-100

#

Yes, you should OC. If you need help with OCing I'll gladly guide you.

silk echo
#

I am going to render videos

#

I will need help, im afraid ill toast my CPU

prime jasper
#

thats why I'll guide you

#

that being said be very careful of brands like antec and raidmax for PSUs because their ripple is massive

#

I tend to stick to EVGA and Corsair, but seasonic is very good. I jsut don't like them for their insanely bad customer service when dealing with a company like mine and telling us we need to pay all shipping fees to their factor for RMA... It was $4000 in shipping fees plus they didn't refund the components that got fried due to a rare manufacturing defect aka, first gen PSU with different internal pins than the cables in the box. That's not an issue you should ever worry about as that's just something I've never personally seen until that one product line of pre release PSUs.

#

Antec and FSP PSUs range from "best in class" to "sets your house on fire... Literally" hence why they are on my never buy list.

#

Then some companies go through the larger manufacturers, for instance, be quiet! PSUs are made by seasonic, not be quiet!

#

I know way too much info on psus

#

but I always rant about mobos, psus, and hard drives

#

because cheaping out on those can lead to system instability and over all unhappiness with a glorious rig

north crow
#

This is unrelated to your current discussion, but do you think the Asus Z170M-PLUS is a suitable mobo for OCing a 6700k?

#

I originally got this processor with the idea that I'll OC it when I need to, but not straight away (since it's something I haven't done before)

prime jasper
#

its completely related

#

and I wouldnt recommend it but you can. Buildzoid made a video that perfectly explains things

#

if you need me to dumb it down I can, because he tends to over talk about inane shit

#

Keep in mind he's a competitive overclocker

silk echo
#

the fuck is PSU

north crow
#

I assume you can't use a Skylake processor with a newer mobo (like a Z370 one)?

#

actually I can just google that

#

and that seems to be the case

prime jasper
#

@silk echo Power Supply Unit

silk echo
#

I have a 550W something

#

lemmi send my list

north crow
#

anyway, thanks for the link!

prime jasper
#

I saw the list which is why i started ranting about PSUs and Antec

#

@north crow you can actually

#

it just might need a bios update

#

thats the only problem

#

Fun fact: 6th gen 7th gen and 8th gen(IE 6700k 7700k and 8700k) are all skylake processors

north crow
#

..oh?

prime jasper
#

They are all part of the skylake family

#

Think of it as ling Skylake is the grand parents, kabylake is your parents and coffeelake is you

north crow
#

"back in my day we had 4 cores and we liked it" - grandpa skylake, probably

prime jasper
#

Back in my day we had single cores

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper He didn't say a PSU doesn't degrades. He said it's not as extreme as people act like it is. 950 to 892 in 10 years is way less than you were implying with 'doing 650w allows for future proofing with oc since psus degradate over time.'. There are a lot of people like me that can easily get a 450w power supply, overclock the GTX 970 and use it with an Intel i5-4460, which is going completely stable. The thing is: you need to have a qualitative PSU yes

#

I never implied it was a lot I implied that 550w didn't give you a lot of head room with an OC on an 8700k(with standard 1.35 on vcore) and GPU(standard 10% OV) when you account for degradation and ripple, plus if there are any hardware changes like, he finds a 1080ti for a lot enough price and gets one, that would send you over the wattage

#

You can OC super high on a 450w PSU, doesn't mean it'll hold that OC underload.

#

Yeah I know. Then I understood you wrong 🀷

#

Not to mention if he's doing video encoding and rendering, it will be higher than the normal 90% load calculation

#

Probably yes. Gaming without the CPU bottlenecking it also has a load of 99% 🀷

#

Anyway, I fully trust the guy who made the topic. It's not just a reviewer who just describes the outside, lol. His reviews take months of testing and more testing

#

If you calculate everything including ripple, youre at 549w

#

His review didn't say anything against what I was saying, all it said was it wasn't massive amounts like people USED to claim. I remember when people said you'd lose 15% of the total output per year

#

and that was mostly done buy stores since 10 years ago, building your own PC was still wizardry to most people

silk echo
#

So.. just my PSU is the problem? or? @prime jasper

prime jasper
#

I'd upgrade just because antech if anything.

potent estuary
#

ok so i have rx560 and normal hdd and my loading times are upto 5mins what should i keep my shader cache settings in amd? my friend loading time is like <1min always he is also on HDD

prime jasper
#

What types of HDDs?Not all are the same speeds

silk echo
#

What if i dont OC my CPU right now?

#

Will it be enough just to have a stable PC?

prime jasper
#

With a SSD you will always be first on the server πŸ˜ƒ My whole rig uses SSDs only

prime jasper

@prime jasper Yeah, I know, but for me you were acting a bit like you'll lose like 100 watts or so :p. But I get you now. Just wanted to come up with some info

glossy cove
#

@prime jasper What kinda CPU you currently have and how much FPS you are getting?

strong breach
#

sidenote: those are not official requirements πŸ‘€

quaint topaz
#

pretty much the alpha ones

#

which are subject to change

prime jasper
#

@glossy cove i can run bf1 nice but i cant run bf 5

#

i have i5 8gb of RAM

wet wharf
#

what is serie of your i5?

#

i mean, mine is a i5 4690

silk echo
#

lmao

#

i cant run bf1 but i can run bf5

agile rain
#

@potent estuary if you have a 5400rpm drive then that would explain the load times. I have a 7200rpm drive and load times are fine

#

This game runs like SHIT

#

Battlefield 1 that is

#

i7-6700k, GTX 980 TI

#

samsung 850 evo

#

corsair lpx 16gb

the OPEN BETA ran better than this

#

what are your settings?

#

also cpu-z

#

inb4 playing on 1440p with max settings

north crow
#

I've seen some messages and posts recently about sudden bad performance in bf1

#

after some recent update

lofty light
#

Yeah mines been up and down

#

But I'm getting 85 fps even on Amiens with the same specs as hypo except a 1080 and at 3440x1440

wet wharf
#

I only get 60fps max.. on low settings... soo i dont even notice much notlikethis

#

one of the resons for me don't play conquest is: I get even less FPS (probalby too much people with too much explosion)

prime jasper
#

i didn't lag in conquest or operations in bf1

#

but i lagged very very much in bf5 alpha :((

prime jasper
#

No one had a fun time with BF5A's optimization

#

8700k/1080ti and I had issues

silk echo
#

nah BF1's optimization is pure dog shit

#

you cant argue with that

prime jasper
#

Well I can but I'm not allowed to because I have the top tier for gaming stuff so my experience of the low end is lacking

#

I tried bf1 with an rx480 a long time ago

#

but I hated that card because it was always at 90c

rotund pendant
#

ive been having constant frame drops

@agile rain 7200rpm we both have the same hdd WD blue i think it it something to do with shader cache i deleted shaders files and enabled shader cache to ON in amd panel load time was 1:50 first time for sinai desert then 1:30 second time

#

without shader cache on ie it was on amd optimized load time was 4-5mins

prime oak
#

Idk... Should i buy a 2 TB SSD?

prime jasper
#

It's overpriced cause it's not the standard yet. Wait for more SSDs with qlc-memory, that's cheaper

prime oak
#

What about a 1 Petabyte HDD?

#

Well... Multiple 10 TB to get 1 Petabyte

#

About 30k price but works πŸ‘

prime jasper
#

Lol, everything works, as long as the price is high enough :p

prime oak

Exactly

#

Nasa Computer setup right there

But they have hardcore SSD instead of HDD

hey hey i need your guys help

#

SO the new gta v update came out today, And i was wondering who English dave is voiced by. he sounds so familiar

agile rain
#

So I guess I'm ordering the Zotac 1060 6gb amp ediiton when my direct deposit hits tomorrow

#

Then I should be selling off my 960 to someone

#

I'll be cranking those settings up happy

#

U go away mad

prime jasper
#

@prime oak buy a 4tb ssd

#

@agile rain no

#

too bad you didnt want used

#

I have 1080tis in my shop for $400 right now

#

It's expensive as fuck. Just wait for qlc 🀷

#

I have optane nvme drives

agile rain
#

Bad thing is I think hard drives actually last longer than SSDs

prime jasper
#

dont talk to me about expensive

#

Lol, if you're a hardware-freak then yes, of course that's not

#

I hope you don't only use it for gaming, lmao

#

i do

#

............

#

🀦

#

They were free

#

Those people with 32GB RAM, i9 and these type of SSDs just for gaming

#

Lol how?

#

You're getting sponsored?

#

no I liberated them from a server

#

Fair enough

#

the entire building caught on fire

so everything was free rain

Damn, lucky! :D

WEll..

For you then..

not really

RIP servers. Hope you had some fallback locations..

it was a gas leak

but hey, free optane server memory

Oh....

#

In the US?

#

maybe maybe not

prime oak

You know what.... Il just ask Nasa. Im sure theyl give me like some free 10 TB SSD

prime jasper

NASA dont have that shit

but I do

prime oak

prime jasper
#

My wallet is empty

prime oak
#

Sure. But still has muns to buy games xD

#

Well im guessing the shipping to Switzerland would be expensive aswell

prime jasper
#

shipping black market tech? yes

prime oak
#

I mean why not? You had money for a good PC

#

So you must have muns

prime jasper
#

There's a hidden joke in there

His wallet is empty, but his bank account isn't LUL

prime oak

You dont say xD

prime jasper

yeah fill up my wallet so my bank account isnt as lonely

prime oak
#

Ehm.... About some weeks ago.... My friend borrowed me his gaming laptop for a week.... That day he gave me his laptop... Was the first, ever time.... I have played a game in HD even higher up... I used to play from 240p to 480p cause i couldnt handle higher

prime jasper
#

I think you're German, Austrian or Swiss by the way, @prime jasper :P

prime oak
#

Well... The PC couldnt handle higher

@prime jasper you'd be wrong on all 3

prime jasper
#

@quaint topaz no because thats a x370 aka am4 socket not a z370

quaint topaz
#

Old screenshot

#

I got a similar price

#

On a z370

#

@prime jasper

#

I realized it was AMD OMEGALUL

prime jasper
#

I mean it's fine, but as I stated before 550w leaves you little headroom for upgrades and overclocking, it's fine for lower end systems but you never know when you can finally buy that 1080ti

quaint topaz
prime jasper
#

but yeah looks good

quaint topaz
#

Currently on a GTX 1070

#

prolly won't upgrade for a year or two

prime jasper
#

As I said thats my own concern with the current build

quaint topaz
#

At least it's slightly future proof

#

Gonna slap an SSD and a GTX 1080Ti if it drops within two years

#

I don't think current gpus will drop in price after the release of the 2000 series

prime jasper
#

The GTX 1070 is a fine card.

prime jasper
#

naw 1070 is low end. Titan V is high end

#

My rig consists of the following: GTX 1080ti watercooled, i7 7700k clocked at 4,5 GHz (I delidded it as well), MSI Z170A-Pro (not the best mainboard but it is quite solid), 16 GB HyperX DDR4 2666MHz (Bought that RAM back in 2016 when high-speed RAM was not really existent at this point), BeQuiet Straight Power 11 750W Gold, Many BeQuiet fans (Silent Wings 3, Pure Wings 2), Sound Blasterx ae-5 for high-quality sound, 1,5 TB of SSD memory in total

#

@prime jasper No, a 1050 is low-end. A 1070 is mid-end..

#

I would say the 1070 is an upper-end mid-class card

#

Nay 1080ti is mid tier

#

Titan Xp is high tier

#

Titan V is god tier

#

1070 is low

#

Dude...

#

anonymous calm down his trolling is too obvious πŸ˜„

#

^

#

I shouldn't involve into discussions when I feel shit, lol..

#

anything below 1070 basically is a atari 2600

#

Anonymous I am out here as well however I think your point of view was quite good

#

GTX 1030 exists

#

So 1050 is higher than low

ocean valve
#

Whats better? My 980ti or a 1050-1070 ? Should i upgrade?

prime jasper
#

Flexxter that is not a honest question, right?

ocean valve
#

I know nothing about these things. I pay people to build me a computer monkaMEGA i know 980ti is a very good card but not sure how it compares to the new generation

wet wharf
#

well I don't kwon too (I m not very smart about this)

prime jasper
#

the 980ti is pretty much like a 1070 so no need to upgrade πŸ˜ƒ

wet wharf
#

thanks πŸ˜„

ocean valve
#

πŸ‘

prime jasper
#

980ti was Maxwell's (that is the name of the previous generation architecture) flagship chip and the 1070 is the current gen upper-middle-class or low-upper-class card πŸ˜ƒ even the jump to a 1080 would not really be worth it. Only a 1080ti may be considered as worth upgrading to however since the new generation is just around the corner and your GPU is still bad-ass I would not really upgrade my GPU right now in your position

ocean valve
#

Good to know, thanks!

wet wharf
#

I have a 960... I m waiting for next get... to get a 1080

#

HAHAHA

#

cause I m porr

#

*poor

#

@prime jasper thanks for help

#

(and tips)

prime jasper
#

@ocean valve you have me now, I can teach you how to do this. It's actually shockingly easy to do

#

no magic involved, just plug things into where they are listed on the mother board

#

simple as that

#

No problem guys, I am quite into the matter because I watch tech videos and benchmarks almost daily.

#

And I built a lot by myself

#

I own a company that does this stuff, though I tend to stay in the security side of things since more money and less labor

ocean valve
#

@prime jasper I see you. I'll let you know if I have any questions! Planning on upgrading motherboard/cpu/ram soon

prime jasper
#

thats my build

#

4,7 is a low overclock - I am sure that if the CPU is delidded and your cooling is decent you would easily be able to hit 5 GHz since 90% of the chips can achieve that

#

yes but I dont need to hit 5.0 for any reason

#

4.7 is also at stock voltages

#

that is right though πŸ˜‰ the difference between 4,7 GHz and 5 GHz in games are just about 2-3% I guess

#

I get stable 144hz@1440p

#

and even with a 5.0 I cant hit the 240 easily on games like bf1 on the xf250q

#

my storage is abysmal though

#

but its not like I need anything super high tier since an 850 evo is already bottlenecked in games

#

got my whole rig on 850 evo SSDs and I really cannot complain πŸ˜ƒ 8-9 seconds and my system has booted and in every game I am one of the fastest with loading times

#

I just want 1tb nvme drives in this system as a ego thing

#

but I dont need them

#

So instead of buying those I'm buying something I'll use

#

a sennheiser HD 800

#

months of saving just to piss away $1500 on some headphones

north crow
#

800 is $1000 isn't it?

#

with 800S being the $1500 one

prime jasper
#

Seems like a more rational investment so it is definitely a better decision than buying a SSD that effectively does not give you any benefits in gaming

#

@north crow you're right on that one

north crow
#

HD 800 is something I want to get eventually as well

#

I've tried them a couple times

#

and they're just rooAww

@agile rain you know you're just going to lower the settings anyways since playing it at higher is a stupid way to play since you can't see through bushes and smoke.
Also that's a zotac, you'll be lucky to even compete with a gtx460 with that card

#

You'd be better off buying a used 980 imo. Cheaper and better

agile rain
#

You're funny mad

agile rain
#

@prime jasper plus that's why you don't turn vegetation/effects up and just textures and the texture filtering

prime jasper
#

So dont turn any effects up, got ya

agile rain

Basically. Effects apply to fire, particles, etc

Why can't it be Friday, I want my 1060 >_<

i got i5 4670k , r9 280x and the GPU usage is low and CPU usage is high, any fix?

If u mean running bf1 thats normal since BF1 or most recent frostbite based games are heavier in cpu load than gpu

Older i5 will struggle in modern bf games

@agile rain I'm getting my 1060 today πŸ˜‰

agile rain
#

@lofty light ayyyyy <3

#

It's 1am so I'm getting mine today too ;)

lofty light
#

Got a couple more hours of work and I can pick it up.

Sweeeet

#

You got a Zotac one right?

agile rain
#

Yes, the 6gb amp ediiton

lofty light
#

Nice, I cheaped out and got a 3GB ASUS one, mainly because it was white

agile rain
#

3gb sad

#

That's gonna be a bottleneck soon, games want 4gb minimum these days

lofty light
#

Eh, it's for a mini PC so I'm not overly fussed tbh

#

If that's the case I can upgrade when the mining crash happens

agile rain
#

I only paid 300 for my card

lofty light
#

That's about what I paid :(

#

It would've cost another 100 for the 6GB here in ausland

prime jasper
#

@lofty light mining crash already happened you can get 1080s for under msrp now

lofty light
#

Not here ☹

#

Hopefully they'll come down eventually though

prime jasper
#

Aus actually was the first to have it drop

#

they were months ahead of everyone due to the insane amount energy costs there

#

What youre seeing isnt mining prices but import issues

#

basically if you want a card, buy used

lofty light
#

I was going to watch that one in a few minutes πŸ˜›

#

@agile rain it turns out they sent me the 6GB model by accident, so I'm having a good day

strong breach
#

the luck is unreal

prime jasper
#

Better buy a lottery ticket

lofty light
#

ikr

lofty light
#

...aaaand it doesn't fit in my mini case by a cm or so

ocean valve
prime jasper
#

@lofty light thats an easy fix

lofty light
#

Not really in this instance as it's a heatpipe

#

And I'm not keen to go cutting at that or the case

prime jasper
#

Riser cable

lofty light
#

So Imma going to pick up a smaller one tomorrow and offload this one onto one of my mates, at least I'll make a little money off the extra 3GB

prime jasper
#

Or buy a $30 case

#

riser cable is still a better option probably though

#

does it have a backplate?

lofty light
#

The point of the build is teh case, it's tiny

#

Na

prime jasper
#

show me the card next to it

#

and where it would be

#

I'm seriously thinking riser cable and duct tape

#

Im just shocked people buy matx systems still though

lofty light
#

It's mitx

prime jasper
#

same difference

#

mitx is a dead meme to me

#

hell most small cards dont even fit mitx

lofty light
#

Eh, I like the idea of a small case with a lot of power, doesn't matter if it burns to the ground after a use

prime jasper
#

There is a reason why there is an mitx case stuck in my wall in 90 pieces

#

so one problem with mitx is that there is no standard for it like matx(to an extent, it's not a full standard yet) and atx

well 3000-6500

ocean valve

Damn

prime jasper

adjustable dpi is very nice

ocean valve

Yeah sometimes i use 600 depending on the gun i use. 6500 thats so high. I think faker from lol use 10k or sonething. I know one player from league does

prime jasper
#

I have a small space

#

also I have a very low in game sensitivity

#

for what monitors those are

north crow
#

when I played with 1600 dpi I found a lot of games still didn't let you go low enough in sens

#

or I had to do like 0.1 sens (on a slider of 0-10)

#

so I just switched to 800 recently

strong breach
#

im on 1600

#

too

quaint topaz
#

F

prime jasper
#

That build I fully approve of 100%

#

including the mouse

turbid verge
#

looks good about the mouse I would say its more of a personal choice

prime jasper
#

True but some mice are better than others

#

like i generally recommend the g502

#

because it's one of the best mice on the market and most people like the feel of it

#

its design is one of the better all around mice

turbid verge
#

past experience, mad catz is meh, then after got a steelseries sensei raw good mouse now that one kinda died over time and got the logitech g403 which is very similar to the sensei raw

north crow
#

I went from sensei raw to a zowie EC2-A

#

which is also great

#

but all the logitech mice I've had have also been excellent

turbid verge
#

yeh I was thinking on getting a zowie aswell

#

but the thing is the sensei raw and the logitech g403 are very similar in size and weight

prime jasper
#

You might like the g503

#

it has adjustable weight

turbid verge
#

I looked into it the thing is the ammount of button

#

I always enjoyed simple mouses not like alot of buttons and features

#

but still doesnt mean I wont buy one one day

prime jasper
#

well there really isnt a lot of buttons on it

#

you have page front/back, sniper aka gshift, and dpi switches

#

and everything can be turned off or changed to something else

Is there any way to mount monitors that don't have VESA mounting holes?

For how many monitors?

maybe 3 in the future

limpid glade

What size?

#

(Monitor size)

quaint topaz
#

1080p/23" and 900p/20"

limpid glade
#

Ok that's good

#

I mean, you chose IKEA so great job there, also, it looks good and able to support a lot of weight.

quaint topaz
#

80kg

limpid glade
#

ok

#

I got 2 Alex draws, and then got a worktop which I placed on the two draws. This helped with the weight.

#

I'll show you what I mean

quaint topaz
#

i think the Alex drawer is quite expensive

limpid glade
#

It is, but it is worth it.

#

You could always have the one and then get a stand on the other end.

quaint topaz
#

Is that table a Thyge?

limpid glade
#

Let me check

#

No, it was the SΓ„LJAN Worktop

#

The worktops are designed to withstand a larger weight so it is better for a heavy setup.

#

Hope this helped. @quaint topaz

No problem! Glad I could help.

@quaint topaz Yes there is a way to mount them

question is

#

how janky do you want it to look?

quaint topaz
#

you win some and you lose some i guess

prime jasper
#

you have to custom make one in most cases

#

what monitor do you have?

hmm

I remember someone saying the particle board tables (like the thyge) from IKEA are not very well suitable for VESA mounts
