212 is garbo thesedays
I think the bearings are going out on the fan
That's the only problem is the fan stopped
I have a d15 on my rig
I bet I could get some mhz out of the ole 3770 with a good cooler
If she's not going to die on me
D15 is $90
D14 is like $50
212 is $30
an h7 is around $30 and does way better
If you're not oc what's the point?
212 hasnt been good in 5+ years
I saw the 8700 won't oc on air
@prime jasper Gay 
8700 wont OC at all
Then there's no point really getting a good cooler
not a K model hence no overclock
If I don't want to OC my 3770
May as well just get something cheap
8770K
8700K
Same comment
this is actually a bomb ass cooler
this right here though is the budget king
mugen 5
best to future proof yourself with a cooler
also, you can totally over clokc an 8700k with an air cooler without LM on the die
just not to 5.0
92mm seems like it might be loud
dont know I always have headphones on
why would you not?
You get to ignore people and pretend you didnt hear them
the kid is 5, I'm like 99% positive that he doesnt need you to do everything for him. When I was 5 I was driving to the store to get stuff and doing my families taxes
when I was 6 I was making $200 a week doing yard work and $400 a week in the winter shoveling snow
Build her a PC then
I tried to get her to play rocket league on Xbox which lasted 2 weeks
I need to sell stocks to upgrade my video card
get her to play PC
I know a lot of people who said they hated gaming, but they only played consoles. I got them to play stuff on the PC and two weeks later they bought systems from me
why?
Imagine rocket league and she sucks but you're forced to play with her whenever she's in the mood to
Or you want to play WoW and she expects you to help when she gets on and is 10 levels behind
See I'm perfectly fine with that
I get to teach her how to play
it's a romantic activity
just like building a pc together
which you should do
Ain't nobody got no money for that! She's rejected gaming she's a mom ;)
I'm not building her a PC to pull her from spending time with our kid lol
I can't decide if I want to just get a cheap $30 or something more to try to push this 3770
If it's 85c load on stock and I got an nh15 it probably still won't OC much
No telling how long I've been running it with a bummed fan killing it
if its not a k model you cant overclock it
I only forget to use the K every time I talk
I'm just talking temp if it'll take it at all
I'm unconvinced my 3770K can't hang
it comes close to a d15
why are you getting such an old cpu
o
And it's $800+ to upgrade everything
I also don't want to waste $350 on a 1070 if my CPU will bottleneck it
No way to know unless I had one and bfv ๐ค
you know you can get 1080s brand new for $300 a lot right now
Yeah that sounds legit ;p
can anyone help me lmao
my first build
everything's on
power to my graphics card and mothr board but
i can't get video
i'm rly confused
Did you plug the display cable into the GPU instead of the mobo?
yeah ๐ฆ
i'm using an hdmi if that makes a difference
i tried it with a diff pc and it worked tho
Also, has it got power? Is your monitor on the right display setting? Has the GPU got the additional power cables plugged in?
Another thing I try too is reseating the ram
Plus trying with one stick then the other
That shouldn't make a difference
Memory is generally a huge faliure point from my experience
do you think i should like
try and start it with no ram in
or like
one
IDK IF THATS A DUMB QUESTION
No ram won't work, but yeah try each stick individually
I paid $480 for my GTX1070ti
Man
I really fucking hate crypto cunts
Is the HDMI cable plugged into the GPU itself or the motherboard?
@gray cape
That was the first question I asked ๐
I remember making that mistake myself a few months ago.. Lul
I've done it too, took me hoursti realise
Only took me 15 minutes, because I just called up a shop.. hahaYES
@white wind thats actually a good price for one
need help
ok, but you need to explain what on what you need help ๐
If i download a driver without uninstalling the previous one what will happen?
nvidia?
Yes
Its k
yeah it just replaces it, dont worry @craggy dagger
Finaally an answer
Thanks
And I be able to roll baxk through control pannel right?
Back
Ping me for answer
I don't know how to, but I believe so @craggy dagger
Rolling back a driver should be available in the Nvidia Control Panel or maybe Geforce Experience
I think to clean install would be the safe option
Why? It wouldnt let me roll back, if i got it right?
you can also just remove the old driver yourself using software and then install the new one if you want so much
if you dont trust Nvidia removing stuff
I dont rly want new driver i just wanna play bfv
And in order to do that u need to get a new driver
Do you have an answer to my question up here?
btw how can I know the driver im looking for is the one for my system
@craggy dagger The free version of this will tell you all the info you will be needing regarding your pc https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy
Speccy - find the details of your computer's specs. Great for spotting issues or finding compatible upgrades. Download the latest version free.
bhphotovideo has some good sales goin on if you need a new PSU
connection type?
hdmi, dvi if so what kind of dvi cable, display port?
monitor
good talk ๐
sorry went to the toilet
my monitor is 144
useing dp
and is set up as a 144 hz monitor in my screen settings
Can any one of you turn off the setting called Future Frame Rendering?
@graceful night yeah i did
@prime jasper Getting lag in the alpha, is it that 8gb of ram is too little? It's hitting around 95 percent ram
you need at least 12 gb
yes
8gb just isnt enough anymore
16gb is the easiest to deal with as you can dual channel it easier
quad channel is weird for its latency
youre using a ryzen right?
Yeah
I said this before and I'll say it again, ryzen uses ram to help with it's processing since it uses a different form of speculative execution
hence why ryzen needs a bare minimum speed of 2933 and requires more ram than intel
Ok
Anyone else have a black loading screen?
I've contacted tech support for the past 8 hours
And none of them know what the hell they are saying and doing
I don't think that end support can resolve problems with a alpha build
Not Alpha
BF1
And BF5
Both infinite black loading screen
specs?
Way above the miminum
then I cant tell you how to fix it
that wasnt was I asked
i7 7700 3.6 ghz 16ram 120gb ssd 1tb hdd and 1060 3gb
I need everything including hardrive speed and windows update number
just link me a cpuz
12_1
DirectX 12
Idk harddrive speed
just link me a cpuz validation page
What?
I'm suprised the tech team dont know what the issue is when this bug has been around for 3 years
is hard to know exactly what is your problem remotely
very
So what do i do with tis
download valid date copy the webpage it brings up
link here
The text?
Install it, run and in the pricipal screen, click on validate
no the website link
What next
one second
update bios, fresh install windows
you have a ton of issues
also your ram has leakage issues
What?
leakage?
Is that bad
not really, just has stability issues
So i just fresh install windows?
that takes forever damn
no
you also need to update your bios
How?
And update what
ueif bios
your motherboards interal software
Okay
So i restart for tht right
there
What do i do with that cap file?
flash it to the bios
easiest way is to get a thumb drive
What??
and put it on that
Flash drive?
Same thing
regional dialect
And what do i do with that
I'm so confused
Flash it to the BIOS?
google radar leakage
aight
it sounds worse than what it is
basically it's just an issue with ram stability
because windows did something it shouldnt
ah
I want to make a better pc but I don't want something that would... perform BFV because I feel like that would cost too much.
Currently a GT 710, forgot my processor, 4gb of ram.
I need to find out what I got again, lemme check
So yeah, you'd need to get a new PC entirely then
oh gosh
GT 710 ๐
That is what I am saying
HELLA BREAD
$800
lol
No dont ask him 
Why not
Actually, I am gonna be getting a few parts from someone else
Like what parts?
He is autistic like me so bad to ask his advice ๐
A whole new computer at about March
with what specs
For the new one you're getting
Oh wait I don't know if it was b150... but yeah new one I am getting
I remember MSI, the new motherboard he is getting is b150m that's where I got that model from but, I need to remember which one he has and it's the same brand because... well loyalty or something like that
I cant tell you if the new one you're getting can run bfv or not if you dont know the specs
I didn't say I wanted to run it
Middle-end gaming
Like what games
Now I don't know 
So nobody can help you...
Okay... GTA V at least
Alright well if you can find out what your buddy has to give you let me know
id be glad to help
I'll probably just end up getting a better graphics card and processor... when I get it, I would look what compatible parts I can get for what I will get
And then ask for help
Ok
@odd goblet does that budget include monitor or is that just for the tower?
I think I am the only gamer that honestly doesn't care too much about graphics in gaming. Sure, it's nice at first but then it gets eh.
some monitors are bad for input lag and pixel delay
I do remember in a gaming club in high school, a TV someone brought had some really bad input lag
most TVs have bad input lag
on console it's basically cheating if you use a monitor
you're a good 100ms ahead of everyone else
I also have to clean my monitor :v
Newer TVs have a gaming mode or whatever that reduces it or something, idk
just buy an iMac 
HAH
rephii go back to germany
i am still here
Good
๐
can I move in with you?
sure
"Just buy an Xbox One X"
@winged tapir I will steal your home, its ok
hmm
this is tricky
building the system right and not cutting corners is odd to me
as soon as we get married

k love birds
Every time I try to join a game in the alpha, my game crashes. Any solution?
Repair install.. is all i can think of ๐ฆ
Lower settings i guess, but im sure that wont help, worth a shot tho
ive got a shitty hp pavilion with an msi
if i want to buy one nice thing what should i get that would help
a graphics card msi thing
im bad at computers
HELLO I just got the problem with downloading
the error shows VC++ runtime
I uninstalled then reinstalled all the VC++ and try repairing it but still not working
Time to reinstall windows for you I think
all fixed no worries
@forest jetty what MSI graphics card
why everyone saying ew msi
is it that bad or just a meme
all i know is that the warranty might not be the best for consumer
What's the motherboard and current CPU?
Eww msi
Na, MSI have just made questionable decisions in the past, I'm sure phenalthaline can let you know more
@prime jasper you should be able to run it, although your CPU might cause some lag
Yea we will see, I hope I can run it
I plan on doing that anyway
You might still get some lag spikes
My guys
Nvidia announced their Turing architecture
the Geforce RTX series
The RTX 2080 is supposed to release on August 30th
apparently
@prime jasper The software required for most of their things is massively bloated. I'm talking about you needing 17 control panels for everything @lofty light it's phfftlitapotamoose get it right
@prime jasper well since it's no longer nda, we were told sep8th
wot
I just read on PC Gamer that made a post like an hour ago or something that it's august 30th for RTX 2080, September something for the RTX 2070
and so on
Im talking about the 2080
yeah august 30th
they told us sep 8th
like we havent even gotten the shipment in to the shop yet and we need them in at least 9 days prior
From PC Gamer
I'm hoping it gets here shortly then
normallt we get everything in around 18 days before to set things up
Since we do custom pcb fabrication, we have some repair deals with a few companies
ah
I wouldnt go with that one instantly before seeing specs
the 1080 might be the same thing and cheaper
@sour ivy on lowest details, I had constant 50 fps without lag spike
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dHCQOt5Nns i finally found the best video showing BF1 Ultra 1440p what will happen if you have an i7 2770k vs 8700k which is similar to what ive got
and use 1070 or 1080
I like how the 2060 is last
Of course, they want you to give in to impulse and buy a more expensive one before it comes out
Just got a 1060 anyways
Same ๐
Its a good card, no be sad
@odd goblet for you and your gt 710, released today ;3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFgyxqJV3EE
Have you ever wanted to run a low end graphics card in SLI but found that it's not supported, nor does it have an SLI bridge? Well, just in case you've ever ...
Hey idk if this is the right place to ask but i wondered if a i5 3570 cpu in a dedicated streaming pc would be enough for 720p 60 fps? I could get that tower for dirt cheap that's why I'm asking
I don't know if I can ask here I'm looking for decent notebook to play game especially BFV and my friend told me "Acer Predator Helios 300(PH315-51 2018 model โ Core i7-8750H, Nvidia GTX 1060, 144 Hz screen)" should be fine so I'm going for it. Still, I want to know if this notebook can play BFV in ultra and streaming in the same time. I'm using 6 years old notebook which is can't even run BFV alpha at 30 framerate in low setting. I'm not good at tech thing so I'm asking you guys here if this is not proper place to ask tell me if it against the rule. Thanks in advance.
PS. sorry for my bad english not my first language. I'm learning.
@hasty ruin probably not streaming at the same time as playing on ultra but ultra by itself, yes.
Thanks โค
I bet you could probably manage to stream if you played at a little lower settings
id hold off til beta before making any decisions on a gaming rig
@hasty ruin what res is the screen? that's an insanely important question when determining if a 1060 will push it
a 1060 runs pretty close to a 970
Has anyone been stuck on this screen before? ive got no mouse control
so for some reason when u updated windows it says that my license will expire soon
i mean its screaming at me how many times it just pops up
@rose eagle sorry for late, I don't know, default maybe. Haven't touch advance option any other game but for BFV Alpha with this old PC I go for 1280x720 can't recall. Thanks for info BTW look further for recommend anything on your mind?
my 1060 3gb if enoutgh for 60fps 1080p in bf5
you have a 144hz external monitor?
if my cpy didint bottleneck
man nothing gets 60fps in BFV lol ๐
i can only assume we're going to see like 50% gains when we get a newer build
if not.. x_x
they need to cut some features
competitive FPS games should shoot for settings that offer 120fps on a 1070 @ 1440p, my 2 cents, make it so!
For real I don't see difference between 60 and 220 fps. But I'm sure higher=better.
not everyone does, you mentioned 144hz so thats kind of a waste at 60fps ;P
is my cpu bottlenecking if all 4 cores are at 100% ingame?
ya think?
what you got?
i noticed 100% cpu pegging as well though at some points, but only like 5% of the time
game just isnt optimized
GTX 1070, i5 6600k OC @4.4 Ghz 16gb ram is my rig
but im also getting 100% on all cores in bf1
That's normal for a 6600k
would i get a better performance with lets say a ryzen 1600x?
8600k prob wouldnt have that problem either
the i5 8600 is quite solid a gaming CPU but costs more than 1600x so not quite a comparison
8600k > 2600x though probably
the 12 vs 6 threads probably dont do anything in BF do they?
help stream or anything else advantageous?
Yes you would
Get the 8600k tho
And a nice liquid cooler
and overclock that baby to 5ghz ez if you have a good board
my 3770k is going to survive the holocaust
wouldnt expect 10% gains from cpu upgrades for gaming..
depends on game
but for BF? eh
more than that
I'd say the differences are more than what that says
Esp if you overclock the 8700k
my board is the msi z170 a pro, i was looking for a solution in order to up my average fps without having to upgrade my gtx 1070 because F crypto mining and the gpu prices
so i was thinking that maybe upgrading my cpu would be a better choice
atm depending on the map i get 90-110 frames average on low in bf1 but i have a 144hz monitor so i'd like to go a bit higher if that's at all possible
Hey! @honest haven little late of a reply
Try disabling your Discord overlay
That should solve your problem
YEA IT DED xd
@rose eagle Can I ask what is that green bar?
@hasty ruin 1% lows
@rose eagle the issue with ryzen first gen is that it had memory controller issues so the 1600 has issues OCing to 4.0, while the 2600 isn't as bad. the 8600k however is a crazy good value for an intel cpu, 6 core 6 thread coffee lake that goes on sale for less than $200 a lot. It's a masterpiece
just keep in mind that what you posted as dx12 not 11, so if and when dx12 becomes easier to use devs might choose to not support older ones as dx12 unlike dx11 requires the developer to code for each processor and gpu that will be used.
Got the 2700x.. Kind of wishing I would have gotten an Intel CPU with a higher base clock, but either way, its been fantastic for me, so far 
its not the baseclock that matters
it's the single threaded speeds
and stability
which is why intel is king
for multithreaded tasks, amd is king
@prime jasper so if I wanted to do some hobby streaming in the future with 720p 60fps BFV how much would that impact my in-game performance with the 8600k?
But my focus is game fps so idk
I'd suggest going for an 8700k for that
but you'd lose some frame here and there, not terribly that much
I wonder how much 1080p 60fps streaming BF5 would stress my system, haven't really tested streaming on mine that much
I have 120mbps
upload or download?
Upload, always 11mbps download, because American ISP
yeah you cant stream 1080p@60 then
in theory youd be fine, but 6000 bit rate will tank your connection to the server and cause you to experience rubber bands
or sync issues
Alright thanks. one last question . With the 8700k would my GTX 1070 be enough? Because then again if I got the 8700k but couldn't get the performance due to bad GPU it wouldnt be optimal
1070 is a good card
It feels like everyone thinks they need a Titan V to not bottleneck higher CPUs
i had one for about a week while my 1080ti was on backorder
I had no issues with it
Okay thank you very much
@white wind haha yeah, too many articles read in a day about bottlenecking. Kinda confusing for the average consumer like myself
How much do you think the higher end of current GPUs will drop in value, when the new series is announced, btw?
I want to sell my GTX1070ti and use the money I get off of it for a higher tier card, when the new ones come out, if the performance boost is worth it, ofc
rtx20XX are expected at the end of this month. But they are for ray tracing, so I don't know for much of a boost they'd be
but wont the price of the 1000s drop
depends what the MSRP is of 11xx
but from past experience the prices dont fall a ton.. some vendors may try to dump some and you can score a deal, but for some reason older models retain high prices almost indefinitely
and somehow... go up in price eventually
970 release price was $330ish so 1070 needs to come down below $300 to be a reasonable purchase
Put my 960 on sale but have heard nothing so far XD
the miners are dead, no one will buy used cards anymore ;D
On a more serious note: I still have a 680 rocking in one of my machines. Loud as hell and can't really handle that many games anymore
im just looking to play BF:V at 100+ fps medium 1440p
requirements to make that happen are majorly pending
I might be selling my 1070ti soon, I've barely used it as well
Going to still be hard to sell though, due to all these beta cuck miners fucking it up for everyone else
Seeing people in cypto servers with literal mountains of GPUs purchased like a month before mining crashed has me laughing
lmao
you would be laughing even harder, if you have seen one of those mining farms which got hit with flooding @white wind
Mining is dead now
and 1070 MSRP is like $365 but it won't hit that for a long time
and buying used cards is fine
The biggest risk of mining on a GPU is fans dying / getting louders
but you can replace those easily enough
@prime jasper Fun fact, GPUs are now cheaper (depending on what) than before the mining price spikers
You have 1080s going for like $430, when they almost never hit $500 before the price spikes
@white wind I buy crypto used cards a lot, I literally just bought 29 1080tis for $340 each complete with liquid blocks. They are absolutely fine and really nothing has been done to them that would screw them over.
It's that time of the week again for me #defragging https://i.imgur.com/MMwsVEn.png
I wouldn't buy that many 1080tis
jesus that is one investment you most likely won't see a large return on
@prime jasper wtf dude are you mining yourself or trying to sell them on with another mining spike? if its the latter then GPU mining wont go up again that high in my opinion.
1070 needs to be $300 by Black Friday and then I'll enjoy BFV more assuming it's good
You should be able to find 1080s for $400 on black friday
:D
@gentle tulip I've been mining for over 10 years actually. I have insider knowledge to it that you don't, so your opinion isn't really that important to me. No offense. But no, I own a repair shop that does custom PCB fabrication and super high end PC builds including with custom one off cases
Budget is $300 for a stupid video card, I'll never pay more forever ;p
@rose eagle no b-stock so damaged boxes
Pfff they would just repackage if they were still good!
no
this is evga
have some respect, they are one of the few companies I actually trust with their quality
I agree. They have awesome customer service, warranties, and great products.
EVGA do have good warranties
Although never use their Precision XOC software for overclocking
lmao
EVGA is strong in everything except softwares
Na, Afterburner all the way
but yeah I bought a Supernova G2 (Gold Certified) from them, and it has a 10 year warranty on it ๐
Even their little RGB plugin software for my card broke ๐ฅ
I love working with them, they are always so steamline and honest
Asus I like but they are far from streamline
My shop does not have MSI or zotac products
How about ASRock? 
MSI has some good PCBs but I refuse to work with them
We have taichi boards, thats all
The current b stock in their website is more expensive than bhphoto
It does say refurbished is a possibility
you can also try r/hardwareswap
I don't have anything off hand I can sell thats not already flagged for someone else
Insider knowledge of a market controlled by idiots buying in 
how to talk bullshit:
Insider knowledge on decentralized currencies that only have value due to demand for them to have value, that have been falling in said value for months now with no gains in sight
Thats because those who control it dont want it to have mainstream appeal, because when it does that means it's way harder to hide money
If you think crypto is anything other than a way to either hide large sums of assets or to buy illegal things with an untraceable currency, then I'm sorry but you're an idiot
it'll spike up when they are trying to launder cash again. Last one was because of one group deciding to fully cash out so they forced a massive spike, not because of popularity, which that intern cause a massive spike in popularity because people thought it was free and easy money
I just looked up some cpu benchmarks streaming & gaming. Most of the show that the 2700x loses less fps than the 8700k. Is that true ?
@prime jasper no offense taken, hope it works out for you.๐
2700x is better for multi-tasking from what I understand
Tag the tech god for any questions though
@prime jasper
my time for discord is one hour behind, and when i put on set time automatically in windows settings its one hour behind. how do i fix this?
make sure the timezone is also set correctly
imma double check
i found the problem. it was dumb. i didnt but adjust for daylight saving on... im so dumb hahaha
๐ glad you solved it
thanks for the help!
8700k king for gaming
or 8600K no streaming
seriously.. my 3770K is still holding within 10% @ 1440p, the only huge gains on CPU are at lower res/settings
$900 to gut the machine for 10% isn't in the horizon
ok thanks for the help
I think I'm gonna go for the 8700k once i find a decent deal
@prime jasper what resolution do you play at and which graphic card do you have?
- refresh rate
1080p, all low, 144hz with a gtx 1070
yeah go for intel no doubt with that
at 1080p low settings high refresh rate intel rekts ryzen
@white wind multi-threaded tasks**
intel wrecks ryzen for gaming, period
for now though
yeah but what would be the point to pay more if he played at 60hz
stability and user friendliness
ryzen isnt the most stable
and AMD has never been all that user friendly
mt gtx 1060 and r3 getting 20fps
not a full release
128
wtf
8*
yeah
its not my ram
check with afterburner
cpu 100% tam 7000mb gpu 40%
still the ram
bruh
you really go want 16gb for modern systems
its a part
i paid like 130$ for my ram
you got scammed
its 1x8 ddr4 2400mhz
LOL
its expensive
you got scammed
16gb of ddr4 is about 150
i cant order
but in my country everythign is expensive
wait, is that un USD or?
please say you didnt actually pay that much
thats still kinda overpriced but its not aas bad xD
its still overpriced rn
ram was never affected by crypto
why would ram affect crypto
cell phone demand had to do with the price of ram
?
watev
crypto never affected it, the price of ram got fixed because there are only 3 companies who can fabricate it
demand is dropping
hence the price is
when I saw it spike up by $10
I bought up entire stores of it
I invested correctly
bastard XD
Oh cool, apparently my copy of windows isn't genuine
oof
And if I try to go online to fix the problem, the page was taken down
feelsbadman
contact windows support
if you're lucky you might get someone who speaks a bit of english
I am pretty sure it is genuine, it was just something that came up
rip
I swear if I gotta use that stupid phone thing...
Don't use it on a weekend
use the support chat
Activation was successful... even though it was the same code I used when installing windows... ok
Okay Windows... that was a waste of 30 seconds.
lol
I spent like $200 on 16gb of 2400Mhz DDR4
low speed ram is a scam
^
gonna see if i can squeeze any more outta my 3770k with a new air cooler, it should last 2 more years if it holds out ;P
invest the money into a 1080 if they come down to 400 if nvidia announces anthing this year instead
what the fk happened to ram prices?
just seems like an overall crap time to upgrade a PC
Nvidia literally just announced the RTX 2080 yesterday with release dates
and I bought 16gb of 3000mhz 16CL DDR4 for like $170 with tax in November, and they have Samsung b-die so I could easily overclock
@rose eagle Price fixing is the major cause
I think at one point some factory burnt down or something and cut production, then eventually they went "huh we can charge that much and people still buy"
You gain some
You lose some
a class action lawsuit was filed about the price fixing
but like
Samsung, etc. can be like "Production issues" and get away with it 
ha if it wins fine them millions of dollars.......meh only 1% of revenue.
worth the risk every time for big corps
Yes 
Thanks!
I mean it'll run 
At 4k 60fps?
no
use smaa
use higher res
mate
is increses gpu use
to help fps and cpu
i'm not dumb
get a better pc
@steep gust ignore him, he's trying to make a bad joke. He talks about the exact thing once a week
730 doesn't even support SLI oof
As I said, he's a bad troll, just ignore him
ye I figured
?
i looked at my gpu usage when i switched my resolution from 720p to 1080p
it changed from 10% to 50 %
sounds about right
lmao
@rose eagle if the rumours are true, then you get a new 2070 for around 400 with the power of an 1080 ๐
interessting thing is, if i read the forums almost everyone got an 1080ti
was there a supersale with a 80% off discount?
If I run bf1 fps limited to 200, I'm mostly on the range 100-110fps. But if I limit it to 100fps, it barely stays at 100, but keeps cycling through 97 to 100. Shouldn't it stay solid 100 if I'm above that without limiting the fps? Any ideas what's going on?
@crude storm rumors are saying they are just the same thing but with slightly faster vram and ray tracing
It's supposed to be different architecture though
Yes, but that could just mean an addition of ray tracing
because, rumors are rumors are rumors
rumor says the rtx2060 will cost $130 and be 3% more powerful than a 1080ti
see, rumor is a rumor
So, you talking about rumours have zero value. Got it
Rumours have as much value as the source
if that rumor is true... JESUS what is this
If that's the case I cant wait to see how powerful the 2080 is lmfao
Wow someone really be trying to buy my GTX 960 for a laughable $50, I'm not even wasting time with a reply
I'm gonna sell mine for the same price xd
And if this 2060 is really that good I'll sell my 1060
I think the 960 is worth atleast the price of 1050 but it's whatever. Guess I'll hold onto it and put it in another PC or something
Well the 960 is kind of... irrelevant
80-90$ i would say
Yea
2gb EVGA SSC version
now i remembered that i bought my gt 740 from some used sale thing for 3โฌ xD
That's a pretty good deal tbh
Xd
Idk if integrated graphics are better than that but it's still a bargain
does anyone buy a sound card these days?
used to be a perf hit or just not feature packed enough
sound cards aren't worth it unless you really really care
i use my damn monitor speakers now that im married with a kid
headphones if i want to actually get any good sound
your motherboard's audio should be fine unless you really care about sound quality and can can afford the hardware for it to make a difference
My on board broke so I bought one
@rose eagle you use a schiit stack over a sound card, costs the same but you get a way better sound quality
Also I have the leaked specs of the 20xx series
leaked from nvidia
and several board partners
the announcement for their specs are tomorrow
Remember this generation was suppose to come out in like
February, April, May, June, July, and then gamescon
and was suppose to be on volta
and 11XX
I was just never allowed to say what it was until recently
we also don't believe you
the term volta was never used past "if you talk about next gen, just call them volta"
No, you don't believe me as I have yet to show you proof
Seriously, this gen was announced to us as turing
not volta
Mine are from accidently product pages from board partners
that were put up a day early
thats all
Okay then you should be able to link us a pdf, etc of the entire webpage?
I'm sure someone downloaded the page
Im trying but it wont allow it
well i hope my gtx 1080ti will still be able to run modern games at nice fps for atleast 2years 
no way
It should be fine
the fuck hess, why'd you turn off images
embed it
if the performance is massive in new cards im happy
Yea
i cant read that xd
I hate my life
300x200?
nor can I
wait bro
i think you should upgrade ur monitor
that res is bit outdated
I know
give me a few let me see if someone grabbed a better screen shot
this is 'confirmed' specs but I doubt it https://wccftech.com/pny-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-and-rtx-2080-listed-for-pre-order/
its inline with what we were being told about the turing architecture
just weird that its technically weaker than a 1080ti
980ti - 1080 was a large jumpp
So I doubt the 1080ti - RTX 2080 is gonna be a downgrae
this was technically no jump
this was technically no stats have been posted by nvidia
doesnt mean that we cant extrapolate data from it
Memory Interface 352-BIT 256-BIT
Memory Bandwidth 616 GBPs 448 GBPs
that falls under everything we know to be true about gddr6
NVIDIAยฎ CUDAยฎ Cores 4352 2944
that also would probably be right
And driver updates are always important 
memory amounts I'd also say were correct as normal gamers don't use more than 11gb
Well, some times they are
Yes but they are pushing for real time ray tracing / 4k gaming
you needed to be on the most recent driver update to play the bf5 alpha
Well that was known for a while and they keep talking about pushing 4k 144hz and ray tracing
nvidia also produced a tv thats 4k 144hz
Yes that is how TVs work
oh and Display port can't do 4k 144hz IIRC without some issues
dp 1.4 can
but the ports arent valid yet
or used
not to mention finding 1.4 cables is a hassle
but generally nothing can do 4k 144hz, the max we have in reality is 4k 120hz
depends on what card you have now
Jesus Christ! games take up alot of space!
my steam library is 532 GB
Origin games so far its 185 GB
like WTF
I guess I bought a 6 TB WD Black for a reason
lol
I am adding another 26 GBs for BF4 Premium Edition
the base game for BF1 is 60 GB!
Yep
why would you buy a black
@steep gust Performance! for the space you get! yeah!
with Optane allowing to cache a secondary drive, its a bonus.
blacks aren't meant for the usage a generic consumer puts on it
Why do you think they cost so much more than the same amount of space from like Seagate? 
I will not buy Seagate drives
they don't fail anymore than other companies
Samsung doesn't make HDDs
Samsung has the warrenty and explains the TB life times written much better.
I have two Samsung Sata SSDs, my dad has two Samsung SSDs.
I have a Samsung Monitor, a Samsung 48 inch 720p TV. My dad has a Samsung 50 inch 1080p TV. My Dad has a Samsung cable box. a Samsung 30 inch TV.
so yeah call me a Samsung fanboy
Oh! my dad has a Samsung 28 inch 4K Monitor as well
with heavy use, their products last 10-12 YEARS
the basic lifetime of the device before it goes too old to be a standard anymore.
Speaking from first hand experience
I am also a Nvidia Fanboy
a EVGA fanboy
@unreal locust WD is no longer making HDDs
seagate actually has a lower failure rate than WD these days
samsung makes a ton of pannels for most monitor companies fyi
Is it worth selling a 1080 Ti now and wait for the new RTX 2080 Ti?
I suppose we'll get some dates, and prices from nvidia tomorrow on their keynote. That might make your decision easier
Ok, thanks.
I would sell it as soon as possible since the used market is gonna be FLOODED
Which is good for me 
Would my motherboard support the new GPU (do you think) ? @steep gust
Why wouldn't it? Unless you are running something ancient without PCIe 3.0
1050 only comes with 2GB of vram normally and you can't use VRAM like DRAM
or i'm just old
I know we know not much about the new GPUs, however, would my I7-6800K bottleneck the new 2080 Ti? @steep gust
idc
Bottlenecks are not a yes or no question
You pick a CPU for the FPS you want
And a GPU for the graphical settings you want
This also depends on resolution
or some people
I am running at 2560 x 1080
GPU always gives you FPS
no
Without the GPU, you can't play.
Your CPU is what controls your FPS
since it has to provide the information to said GPU
i just wanna play conquest
Dude we don't care, please stop
Would you say the I7-6800K is fast enough for the soon to be released 2080s then?
If your CPU isn't being push to its limits, upgrading your GPU might give an FPS boost
look at your CPU usage in games
finally you make sense
It is never at 100%
Since I'm assuming you are already maxing game graphics
my gpu is 602% cpu around 70 80
Yes
*62
So you should see a boost
Although 2560x1080 is kinda overkill for something built for 4k
So, Would you say the I7-6800K is fast enough for the soon to be released 2080s then?
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
True
Some games are more demanding than others.
i get 60+ on medium by disabling anti aliasing
But I need it to last
Depends on a lot of variables
Hey Peter
Hi
do you overclock? etc
Then it should be fine
@quaint topaz wannna conquest?
Okay
I have to finish packing sorry
Overclock if you want to push out more FPS
ok
I want my PC to last ages
Since 2560x1080 is gonna be limited by CPU instead of GPU
@limpid glade conquest
You can do a bit with just stock voltage, etc.
As long as you keep it cool and go reasonable, overclocking shouldn't reduce lifespan
My GPU plays at around 60-70 degrees when not overclocked, but can go to 80 when oc, so I need to have loud fans. Very annoying so I just leave it as it is.
buy a fan
I have fans
it take sit too 40-50
