Is that the only way? Bc I'm not spending $300
yes, it requires also programming knowledge because you have to build a custom dac for it
well screw that then
any good recommendations for mics which can be used on both ps4 and pc?
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
@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
theyre being replaced by ssd factories
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
RIP
@prime jasper but me no be working by then 
went for the 34UM69G at the end
Thank you! 
Same as mine
@silk echo

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

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
Isn't the i9 just the equivalent of the old i7 7700HQ though?
yea basically an 8700k
which already have throttling issues with good coolers
Probably gonna order a 1060 on my next check
Already have someone lined up to buy my 960
how much you selling it for?
Like 130
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
I need to find a cheap gpu for system testing
Literally could get anything
Most have an hdmi port by now 
1070s are cheap right?
like $450
I'll just buy one of those
I dont know of anything thats below that
$300 is already pushing it for me π
I only work for like another month and still have other expenses
haha, you got hit by the autofilter :3
π

Im on my phone
so I only see the chat stream
either way stop buying so much makeup
I do what I want 
Yeah $300 per hour
it's his money. let em do what he wants

so how much do normal people get paid?
8.25 an hour 
is this /s
you said 825
I swear, you must have the driest sense of sarcasm I've ever seen
impressive isnt it?
I love me some good sarcasm but this is pushing it
seriously though, I thought minimum wage was $15 an hour
pfft if only
Depends on the country
well then thats my minimum wage
because 34 hours a week is a lot of time to spend at work
You should try 60 like my manager
Isn't that what Bernie Sanders wanted for minimum wage?
no clue
what if its about my company that deals in tech?
Ph doesn't leave this channel, we can't go anywhere else
Macbook users here?
Yes i have a 2016 macbook pro
Nice. Good machine but sooo expensive
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
If you plan on gaming alot i wouldnt recomment the macbook but otherwise i wouldnt use anything else
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
Yeah then macbook is a solid pick especially for video and picture editing. Perfect for travelling Post a picture when you buy it!
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
Dont buy macbook 2018, they break in two seconds
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
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
No thanks, imma pickup a GTX1060 soon for my Ryzen 1600 system then imma be good, next step will be a VR headset
I haven't chosen which one Im getting. There is the Zotac AMP edition for $300
how muchs the MSi one?
Idk
All I know is $300 limit
i was on a 750
O O F
ljke
IT HURT
IT HURT SEEING BETTER CARDS
im just happy
that i can play any game above 60
with Hight to Max graphics
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
Still better than consoles
I might pickup some pc parts from Russia when im visiting there
Well with console they are able to use tricks to squeeze more performance out
Just look at God of War on PS4
yea
One of the best looking games of all time, literally
i was never into super realistic looking games
i like games thaty look kinda like firewatch
Cartoony
and colorful
Fortnite ;3
Battlefield Play 4 Free 
Never played any of them, just seen them
you should
best gammes ever
already used unnecesary 100 euros for Gold edition preorder
for the just cause 4

@prime jasper Play a game called Danger Zone ;3
$20 

π‘
SORRY IM POOR ):<
Soooo what is better?
A Titan V for 3000$
Or
2x 1080 TI's for 2000$
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 wonβt start.
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 how do you turn it off? In BF1 settings?
How do I turn my PS4 off
by pressing the power button...
Thanks @prime jasper
Iβm not even sure how I started having these issues in the first place.
it's called Origin and EA
lest put a truck engine on a fiber car.... (the engine starts and teh car gets destroyed)
hum... why Intel, this is your fault
I think the analogy would be better fit as "lets put a modern processor in a macbook instead of a 15yo one
Apple is afraid to ramp up the fans and actually test the processors before
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
ooooHHHhHH

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?
i mean if you have the money
I suppose
go for it
same
@little flower PC Specs
I've had it for a while
Did you play and it worked fine?
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
Have you ran any benchmark games?
3dmark and such? not since reinstalling windows
You should try one. I'm guessing if it's a hardware problem it's your RAM or CPU that is broken
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
You installed re-installed windows and that always fixes all software problems
I did reinstall windows, twice
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
talking to support, which is one you dont need to restart pc to use?
@little flower one more guess. Do you run BF1 on DX12 or 11? And do you have unlimited memory setting on?
dx11
I believe I had memory guard or whatever off last time I played
I had it on the rest of the time tho
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
its ok, seems impossible
welp, he told me to reinstall my audio drivers and install my interface drivers did that. doesnt work
jesus

I'm starting to see the patterns they speak in
That's how bad it is
I know exactly what they'll say next
By the looks of it, all they told you was to clear origin cache.
It's crashing to desktop basically?
pretty much yea
doesnt show any icons
just, mouse cursor spiny animation
then origin pops up again as if nothing happened
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?
fucking damnt
did the clean boot thing
ran both as admin
didnt work
this is a nightmare


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.
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?
Were you able to launch it?
well, now I can yea
Should be fine if you exit the game, you'll have to eventually π
@quartz canopy I'm also getting the same issue
Which is interesting considering I reinstalled the damn game
Try what I mentioned above for him, scroll up a bit 
@quartz canopy so I have to uninstall origin and all my games, and then re-download it?
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.
@quartz canopy Apparently I can't uninstall Origin
It doesn't show in the control panel
Follow the link I posted 
I did
Did you try both ways?
Try the other one

the one in there
Good monitor π
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.
Iβll always prefer hz over res personally
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
im not really planning on OC
Mind giving me suggestions on good ram then?
Just make it cheap π
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
I already have this one
The Acer Predator Z35?
@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
Translated with Google Translate. Diet = PSU. Google Translate failed.
And 'feeds' = PSUs
π
Food = PSU.... π
@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.
damm @prime jasper everytime I read somethign from you... I learn something
thanks man
No problem, I should learn how to be less blunt though. I seem very aggressive I've noticed.
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
So i should go for the K and OC?
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.
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
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)
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
AHOC Patreon/Shirts/Paypal/Junkyard:http://cxzoid.blogspot.co.uk/p/support-fail.html The Twitch:https://www.twitch.tv/buildzoid The blog: http://cxzoid.blogs...
Keep in mind he's a competitive overclocker
the fuck is PSU
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
@silk echo Power Supply Unit
anyway, thanks for the link!
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
..oh?
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
"back in my day we had 4 cores and we liked it" - grandpa skylake, probably
Back in my day we had single cores
@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 π€·
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% π€·
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
So.. just my PSU is the problem? or? @prime jasper
I'd upgrade just because antech if anything.
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
What types of HDDs?Not all are the same speeds
With a SSD you will always be first on the server π My whole rig uses SSDs only
@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
@prime jasper What kinda CPU you currently have and how much FPS you are getting?
sidenote: those are not official requirements π
@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
inb4 DX12 enabled
I've seen some messages and posts recently about sudden bad performance in bf1
after some recent update
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
I only get 60fps max.. on low settings... soo i dont even notice much 
one of the resons for me don't play conquest is: I get even less FPS (probalby too much people with too much explosion)
i didn't lag in conquest or operations in bf1
but i lagged very very much in bf5 alpha :((
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
@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
Idk... Should i buy a 2 TB SSD?
It's overpriced cause it's not the standard yet. Wait for more SSDs with qlc-memory, that's cheaper
What about a 1 Petabyte HDD?
Well... Multiple 10 TB to get 1 Petabyte
About 30k price but works π
Lol, everything works, as long as the price is high enough :p

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
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 
U go away 
@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 π€·
I have optane nvme drives
Bad thing is I think hard drives actually last longer than SSDs
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
............
π€¦
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
RIP
80 people died
but hey, free optane server memory
Oh....
In the US?
maybe maybe not
You know what.... Il just ask Nasa. Im sure theyl give me like some free 10 TB SSD
Send
Sure. But still has muns to buy games xD
Well im guessing the shipping to Switzerland would be expensive aswell
shipping black market tech? yes
yeah fill up my wallet so my bank account isnt as lonely
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
I think you're German, Austrian or Swiss by the way, @prime jasper :P
Well... The PC couldnt handle higher
@prime jasper you'd be wrong on all 3
Would or are?
am
Ah :p
:wokethinking:
:P

@quaint topaz no because thats a x370 aka am4 socket not a z370
Old screenshot
I got a similar price
On a z370
@prime jasper
I realized it was AMD 
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
710 USD
but yeah looks good
As I said thats my own concern with the current build
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
The GTX 1070 is a fine card.
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 π
^
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
Whats better? My 980ti or a 1050-1070 ? Should i upgrade?
Flexxter that is not a honest question, right?
I know nothing about these things. I pay people to build me a computer
i know 980ti is a very good card but not sure how it compares to the new generation
well I don't kwon too (I m not very smart about this)
the 980ti is pretty much like a 1070 so no need to upgrade π
thanks π
π
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 π 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
Good to know, thanks!
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)
@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
@prime jasper I see you. I'll let you know if I have any questions! Planning on upgrading motherboard/cpu/ram soon
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 π 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 π 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
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
HD 800 is something I want to get eventually as well
I've tried them a couple times
and they're just 
ah, alright
Apparently Apple will roll out an update to fix overheating
dumbest thing I've heard
they said is a firmware proble
it will be fixed soon, with an update
well, were can I download RAM?
@wet wharf An update has been released already: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/141353/benchmarks-tonen-aan-dat-macbook-pro-15-komma-4-inch-met-core-i9-beter-presteert-na.html
The first link, a tech-website I way too much, tested the performance before and after the update. Though the temperature also increased.. You can translate the page if you would like to know more, @wet wharf
π
im using my siberia 200's dont want to use my decent ones lmao the heat is too much
close enough
@quartz canopy yeah nothing loads it just loads origin ten nothing else
Is it not loading at all? Have you tried running it as administrator? You can also try doing a fresh uninstall/reinstall of Origin.
ive reinstall it ill try running as administrator
Sounds good

Too bad I have to wait till Friday
I could have gotten tomorrow if I paid by 1 pm but direct deposit hits at 3
Well I guess Friday will be a good day then. I'll be home from work well in time to receive it and observe the graphics 
@quartz canopy it fixed the problem, thanks m8
@unborn abyss glad to hear, you're welcome

@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
You're funny 
@prime jasper plus that's why you don't turn vegetation/effects up and just textures and the texture filtering
So dont turn any effects up, got ya
Basically. Effects apply to fire, particles, etc
Why can't it be Friday, I want my 1060 >_<
Why cant it be next month... I want my HD800s

You dont know the glory
guys help me please
i have a gtx 1070 ryzen 5 1600oc 4.2 16gb of ram and aim getting 50-60 fps
cpuz the stats
So close to getting my 1060, can't wait till tomorrow
GTA V in high-res 
Forza Horizon should stay well above 60 fps now 
Forza π€’
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 π
Got a couple more hours of work and I can pick it up.
Sweeeet
You got a Zotac one right?
Yes, the 6gb amp ediiton
Nice, I cheaped out and got a 3GB ASUS one, mainly because it was white
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
I only paid 300 for my card
That's about what I paid :(
It would've cost another 100 for the 6GB here in ausland
@lofty light mining crash already happened you can get 1080s for under msrp now
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
We've all seen people say "that's too much thermal paste." Most the time, it turns out, they're wrong. This test benchmarks thermal paste application methods...
I was going to watch that one in a few minutes π
@agile rain it turns out they sent me the 6GB model by accident, so I'm having a good day
Better buy a lottery ticket
ikr
...aaaand it doesn't fit in my mini case by a cm or so

@lofty light thats an easy fix
Not really in this instance as it's a heatpipe
And I'm not keen to go cutting at that or the case
Riser cable
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
Or buy a $30 case
riser cable is still a better option probably though
does it have a backplate?
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
It's mitx
same difference
mitx is a dead meme to me
hell most small cards dont even fit mitx
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
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
Need bigger mousepad!
thats a g903 with the mouse pad that charges itr
I wish it was larger
but its already a $100 mouse pad
I play with 400 dpi i need alooot of space
Damn
adjustable dpi is very nice
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
I have a small space
also I have a very low in game sensitivity
for what monitors those are
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
looks good about the mouse I would say its more of a personal choice
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
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
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
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
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
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?
I might get this. Thoughts? π€
For how many monitors?
1080p/23" and 900p/20"
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.
80kg
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
i think the Alex drawer is quite expensive
It is, but it is worth it.
You could always have the one and then get a stand on the other end.
Is that table a Thyge?
Let me check
No, it was the SΓLJAN 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?
you win some and you lose some i guess
hmm
I remember someone saying the particle board tables (like the thyge) from IKEA are not very well suitable for VESA mounts
Still waiting on my 1060 π

Nice
Amazon gave me a code for $100 for a gaming monitor from like lg and a couple other brands
Well now I know what channel to live in (as you can probably tell by my new name)
Feel free to discuss the tech on here
Yeah I cover most tech things here also
I own a company that has a side part that does custom rigs
That's it then
and not low end ones, I mean custom mining and bot creation systems
No use for me π’
naw there is always someone asking for help
I make a lot of metadata collection bots
and we do custom rigs for AI networks
we also make gaming rigs because extra money is nice
and we have all the parts anyways
What's it called? I might know it?
You wouldnt

You'll do great and reach that height on day.

guys is there any way to buy stuff in Origin with paypal savings?
(no credit card)
whenever I try to purchase something through paypal it asks me to fill a credit card info. I have money in my paypal account but I don't have a credit card
So I did not expect my 1060 to be like 75% of the size of my 960, and only require 6 pin power instead of a full 8 pin
Alienware 
Alienware is good
Razer 
lol
Both are like Apple 
Overpriced
Damn you :P
Although, I still use the same Razer Peripherals and a new Alienware! 
NO WAY
YES WAY

Okay bois, lock him up


Man, I love this server
Haha, why? :P
The activeness is just right
Yeah right. Though I'm not really active in this server. Only unmutec channels are #technology and #lfg-pc
Not too active to get swarmed in by 10 messages every second, but not too inactive.
