you're tryin to say 2080 non ti wont beat 1080ti?
i mean just wondering if thats what the comment was ;P
get a 10xx series
You don't see them being good phenanthrene?
That's fair
Buying a card without seeing benchmarks LMAO
dont need to see benchmarks dude
Tbh I just want the most powerful card to run 4K 120hz
benchmarks are all synthetic and only mean anything to people not in the industry
its just a baseline
honestly these might beable to do that simply due to the memory bandwidth
Ur right gaming benchmarks don’t matter
Yes
616gb/s for ddr6 and 11gb/s for ddr5x
well 616gb in theory
I think it'll be highly limited by the normal pci-e bus we have
hell, even the volta was slightly bottlenecked
these cards I think will bottleneck prettyhard
In PCIE ?
I thought there was no difference between 2.0 and 3.0
Too even make a difference
by the pci-e 3.0
4.0 there is, but 4.0 is no where in sight
or am I thinking about 5.0
doesnt matter 5.0 cant handle 616
anyways
4.0 should be coming soon I heard by rumors
it was supposed to be out last year
Was it? Didn’t know about that
16 gt/s for 4.0, so 128gb/s?
256gb/s for 5.0
yeah those cards are going to be bottlenecked hard
2.0 was 8 3.0 was 16 4.0 32?
no
4.0 is 16 and 5.0 is 32
3.0/3.1 is 8gt/s so 64 gb/s
hell even the 1080ti gets bottlenecked by it
I’m talking PCIE
so am I
I'm talking about the gigtransfer rates
then calculating thr gigabytes per second rates they have
I tend to do that
I was technically typing down a conversation I was having with myself that was relevant to the bottlenecking
so yeah
these cards literally don't have much of a benefit in theory
I still need to test them out though
see how far I can get one with ln2
Apprently they was built for overclocking he said
Also I’m gonna add you if u don’t care
Pascal was shit for overclocking tbh
not really, pascal was amazing of oc over the past gens
Pascal scaled shit with voltage

oh god that video
Lmaoo
no audio
Wdym
and then he misses a bunch of things
I've met the due in person
and yes, he does seem like he's always cracked out on meth and looks like he's going to pass out at any second
his hair just gets more and more yugioh like every year also
waiting for him to dye it crazy colors
Are you secretly derbour?
no
I wish
I wonder how the benchmarks are gonna be between the 1080ti and the RTX 2080
more impressive in 4k applications
about the same in others from what I've been seeing with the specs
it's basically an early adoption tech for ray tracing so it's not worth much
@steep gust yeah the thing ius those were flagships test phase gpus the big deals coming out will complete as they stated they will. they never said vega was gonna compete against the intel gpus just that they were high end didnt mean better.
intel gpus...
Intel GPUs are really good
Probably a bigger disappointment than VEGA
@lofty light now to be fair, vega was very good the problem was it got fucked hard by memory prices just before release, and since it uses hbm2 it got fucked even harder, then you add that shitty cooler and the fact it was raped by cryptonight since it was the best for mining
the issues all stem from bad luck
@violet nova they've tried for years and failed
But these wont be for gaming, just data centers
How do you know? 
@prime jasper I won't lie I agree, Vega was good but for the price with all that crap it's nowhere near worth it
@violet nova because that's what they've told everyone. They're trying tackle the titan V area of machine learning and that type of thing
i hope good luck for Intel
We took apart the EVGA XC2 Ultra and FTW3 video cards at Gamescom 2018, using the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 GPUs, respectively. Ad: Thermaltake View 37 on Ama...
intel is losing slowly but surely or at the very least is being slowed down
amd is pushing the right direction and even at a huge loss of money they continue to fix and work on new hardware in order to compete in the future
eventually they will be equal if not better to the point of forcing intel to lower prices
AMD will probably never be an equal
they are more likely to take market share from nvidia than intel
i dont choose the present i see whats to come and yes its inevitable for them to becoem equal with the agenda they have
even back when the phenom 2 x6 was a top of the line amazing processor, they werent on top
that isnt the meaning of on top
yes it is
They never had even close to equal market share
I think their peak was 40%
you can have 1 cpu and it be the best but your at the bottom you can have 15 $1000 gpu's and be at the top even though no one wnats them
its irelevant
I have no clue what you just said
being the top has no consitency to be a valid form of argument, just take it slow and read
you forgot periods your english is bad i cant read a thing your typing
would you like a video of my 6 year old brother reading it exactly right
Well I see trying to explain market shares and how the future predictions of them based off the road maps both companies have is fruitless then
not sure man those periods
"you can have 1 cpu and it be the best but your at the bottom you can have 15 $1000 gpu's and be at the top even though no one wnats them" this is not english
this is poorly written, that is all I said
What you said either comes out as either A) poor understanding of how market shares work B) You don't understand tech sales
either way, besides the point, its clear you wont understand.
you do realize a scientist has already proven we dont need commas periods ect. becouse our brains are intelligent enough to read and add everything in without it being written so we naturally understand, our brains are designed to fix error automatically just like i can write something backwards but you can read it perfectly
Thats not #technology discussion
technicallly it is
No, it's for offtopic
I'm done here, have a nice day. Please go research previous market shares and road maps
before saying they will be equals
they will be just takes time
60+ years
intel is way more dominate
WOrk places, servers, AI learning facilities all use intel
doesnt matter pokemon was dominate look where its at now all it takes is new ideas persitance time and a track to what people want
I'm assuming you've never done anything relating to higher end marketing
You're saying that with no actual knowledge of the ecosystems, information, just stuff you assumed and a bias from it
the new process they have is brand new literally nothing they have done before becuz they just made it dont expect something to happen over night its completely unknown where they will be at in 20 years but if they keep it up they will succeed in being equals
amd might be the dominate in streaming performance and intel in gaming they will be equals
Maybe in the smallest percentage of what youre thinking, gaming pcs
Zen isnt new
literally the ryzen architecture is brand new
it's existed for a while
Its the same form as bulldozer
no lol nevermind im done after that lol
I've been done as it's clear you have no clue what you're talking about
bulldozer if it wqas the same as bulldozer we wouldnt even be hearing of ryzen lol
I feel like youre not a native english speaker, possibly greek
omg idiots

Lol bring @opaque mist in here to settle this god awful convo
maybe someone can translate for me,
I read the whole convo
I can see where there is a loss in translation
But then you both turned into twelve year old internationals and started personally attacking one another. Which made anything you guys debated null and void lmao
I actually never attacked anyone, I just stated that his english was bad and I couldnt understand it
I know for a fact my english is bad and trying to translate it isn't my best skill
Hope rtx fails
people get real butthurt if you present actual facts 😉
@prime jasper when you state someone's English is bad that is a personal insult to that specific individual bud lol
no different than telling someone they walk funny or have a thick accent
RTX best not fail, i mean it at least needs to crush 1080ti prices down
@timid citrus not when it is literally bad enough where they have tons of typos and are using words that sound like it came out of google translate
@prime jasper you don't know his situation tho. Because he may have difficulty typing or comprehending
Or is on his mobile typing with autocorrect by not proof reading
That doesn't sound like autocorrect xD
@sour ivylol I know
hi i have a tech porblem iam playing bf1 on pc and i can only play 1 game and then it crashs on the 2nd game witch i dont get cos i have a 1080gtx grachics card a 7700k intel core prossor and ddr4 16gb ram so iam wondering whats going on so if anyone knows why its crashing so much would great
@willow igloo in origin right click on bf1 and select from the window repair. After it finishes see if that fixes any crashes
@boreal coral AMD doesn't have the budget / employees to compete with Nvidia
@willow igloo updated your graphics drivers?
Bring down those prices 20xx series
I don't understand how some Ti are $850 vs $650
Better be like 30% better perf
I'm sure they'll drop in price once the 20 series comes out
I'm looking forward to getting a water-cooled 1080ti when the 20's come out with the price going so low
Some sellers (1080ti) bought them at inflated prices, and are unable to drop below that price
so if you see someone selling 800 dollar 580 8gb
it is because they basically spent that to try to flip it for 1k
lul
but prices crashed and now they are stuck with it
580 for 800 is funny to think about
And it was released to be a cheap card as entry level VR
$600 for EVGA 1080Ti already
$400 for 1070Ti
tough to blow $600 on a 1080Ti when 1080 regular is $450
@rose eagle no one said this gen was going to be cheaper. We assumed better though.
They aren't powerful enough to over take past gen, hence price drops won't be drastic, not to mention if we follow 900 and 1000 series prices, 980ti brand new is still around $500+ if you can find them, used are 350-500 still also.
i mean we're already seeing drops from the news 2 days ago
no but this is good stuff 😉
a 1080Ti FTW3 edition for $670?
pretty much one of the best Ti's
Hence price differences, evga cards are notoriously expensive because they use they use high end thermal regulators and sensors
i got my 970GTX for $300 back in the day
so if 1070 falls to $300 we're golden back to good ole days
which is highly likely
Check their bstock
isnt the 1070 like a LOT better than the 970?
I bought 20 1080s from them last month for $300 each
it's ok better yea
not enough to warrant purchasing though for my 1440p needs
a 1080 non Ti for $450 might be though
when a 1070Ti is $400 and 1080 is $450 it's kinda durr..
1070ti overclocks worse, that's about it
never really OC my vid anymore
shit better last me 4 yrs 😄
my 560Ti lasted 4 yr, this 970GTX looks like it's on its way out
after 3 short yrs, $100/yr feh
I just want pcie 4.0 to release
560Ti was $250.. best card in a while
and then these stupid 144hz monitors released
someone must be scalping the b stock daily if you somehow scored 20
its funny their b stock costs more than brand new
You got me fucked up if you think I'd sell my 1070ti for below $400 even now, with new cards coming out
If you want a good card, gotta fork over that cash m8
Yeah, the only good card on the market is the titan V though and thats just hard to get a hold of
q.q
lol wut? whose 1070ti, a used one?
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1430950-REG/evga_geforce_gtx_1070_ti.html i mean, they're $400 now already brand new ;P
anyone who bought during the peak of the dumbass market within the last year got raped 3 ways
i call 2025 before we see a market worthwhile of RTX 😄
unity/unreal devs are too dunce to utilize it indefinitely
Was looking at old mining cards yesterday, peeps were selling the K1ngpin edition 1080ti for half the new retail price
FTW3's for 800 AUS too
ive tryied updated the grachics drivers 2 and that doesnt work
iam still geting crashs after 1 game of bf1
@lofty light I want a kingpin, give me
1080 non Ti $430 O_o
those calculators are spicy bro
buy one when you're a freshman in hs
it pays off
but not non TI what the hell is that for 430
er that brought up the wrong model
hate these multi model pages
the first one
false fkin advertising
the main page you click in from is the FTW edition
but then its "just" the ACX 3 version
still..
nice to see any 1080 down to $430
im probably holding out for 1080Ti to get down to $430, that's my wife's magical price point
all i asked her was what price should i wait for, she had no idea if it was $100 or $1000 what i was asking for, lol
i recently asked her 1-40 what price point to sell Gamestop stock and she said $17 and i sold it today 😄
maybe she's psychic!
target price bottom for 1080Ti $430 you heard it here first!
1070Ti -> 1080 is kinda eh, same price point almost too
but that 1080Ti perf...
is stock drying up quickly already on 1080s though? there's more "on the way" on some sites, but surely they arent already trying to phase it out
i dont think a 2070 will touch a 1080Ti
wait
i bought an old school one at an office max for like 150-180 its worked fine
like TI-84
analog
@prime jasper what do you think of AdoredTV?
our Uni is selling old workstations 
90€ for a pc with: Intel i5-3470, 3.2 GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Nvidia GT 640 2GB GP + HP Compaq LA2306x monitor + mouse + Keyboard
Hell yeah
Current theme in my studies is Networks so everything goes hand in hand 
I paid $125 for my actual pc. i5-3470, 12gb ram, gtx 1050
Couple of mates and I bought our first dedicated server as a bitser like that
Old school computers are normally not bad if it's a rich school too
Fair enough 😛
He's a YouTuber who peeps seem to like and I used to watch but he seems VERY biased for AMD
yes
he is
holy shit
even lies about their financial reports
wow
So... fuck him
its not that much more
its a meme 😃
if you cant afford $200 more than you shouldnt be playing video games as you're mcjob isn't a means to support a single person
no its not
1000 dollars isn't pocket change for most people
$1000 is a months rent
to spend on a computer COMPONENT
Then get a better job
yes thats very helpful
or do on disability as that pays more than mcdonalds
Damn, lemme just instantly get a better job, so easy, damn you right
Send me a resume
I cant get disability because im not disabled lmao
my company has been trying to fill 50 spots for tech support for months
I don't even have my degree yet, gimme year and half 
@prime jasper so it's the army?
same difference
how much does it pay
We start at $19 an hour
Not bad I guess
Do I need to be from India with the name Chris? 
No
you just need to stay awake and answer phones
which is shockingly hard to find as a qualification

Most people we hire last about 3 days
lole
and it takes 4 days for the paper work to get through to register them as employees
Lol
so they dont ever get paid
Rip
ez
seriously
we cant even fill the 10 required spots to the point where Im working tech support

How hard is it to tell an IT who calls up to "reboot the server"
?
and stay awake for 8 hours
an answer the phone by the fourth ring
Well idk, sitting and staying up 8 hours is hard
I get through work because I'm standing
Its an it company, bring your gaming pc in and you can play games all the time youre there
We even have consoles set up for employees
not that anyone uses them
Nani?
We literally use PS4s to keep windows open and an xbone to keep a door open
What are y'all, Google? 👀

I heard of geep from the latest season of scrapyard wars
They make PC's for like businesses
Enterprise stuff
yes
except they also sell to normal people
they just lired to linus straight out
Buy a low-priced refurbished computer: Top brand-name computers that work like new. All models are fully tested and guaranteed.
Didn't Linus try to buy from them and they wouldn't do it
I know which employee that was
And?
I have to deal with geep a lot since we both do recycling but we do more server stuff
well that employee is always a pain
since he tells me the same stuff
which is why i do everything over email
They kicked him out when he had his camera stuff in there
yes because their warehouse isnt a store
Could have nicely told him to stop recording
but he was kicked out for having a camera
well yes they could have
but they arent known for being very friendly
if they werent so large no one would deal with them
They had one of the most influential tech YouTubers in there, like doesn't look great for em
Big oof
honestly, linus is also not the nicest guy
not to mention they dont do over the phone orders
But he's persistent, lol
I am. I'm going to probably buy a t530 since its cheap and does what I need it to do
DEW IT !
Do it, no balls
$180 and sold
because I buy used
typically grade B
little tip, grade B is a dirt cheap and normally has tiny imperfections
grade Cs arent much cheaper than grade B and can have hardware issues on occasion
plus used thinkpads are everywhere
no need to spend $600+ on a brand new laptop for school or basic work tasks
I want a laptop with atleast something like a mx150 for editing on the go
isnt that like a rough equiv of a 1030?
my laptop has bad heating problem......
@sour ivy idk probably. But it's atleast discrete so you can gpu accelerate Photoshop and premiere
right
Gaming would be oof but that's not what it for
Better than integrated, need that discrete for Adobe
Well the next step up is a 1050 not ti
there is always the m4800, its cheap and has a quadro
Why would I need a Quadro?
Define good deal
Gotta be a low end Quadro then
and a quadro k2100m
yes
its like a gt750
576 @ 667 MHz 128 Bit @ 3000 MHz
wow fuck it im getting this when I get paid for myself
its a nifty laptop
its got all the specs I want and can do some minor tasks like video editing
its not super fancy
but itll do
What, 750? Boi a mx150 better than a 750
not all mx150's are created equal
^
at least with the k2100m I know Im getting at least the performance of a 660ti
but with the mx150 it could be 1030 or way way worse than a 660ti
Hmmmm
they are really bad chips
Your mum a bad chip
no my mother is a prostitute
Eventually I'm going to get rid of my macbook
For college
What do you recommend for video editing school work and a bit of gaming at medium settings
@prime jasper
Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" Full HD IPS, Intel i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1060-6GB, VR Ready, Red Backlit KB, Metal Chassis, Windows 10 64-bit, G3-571-77QK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4GZS9C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kGUFBb0MNZMJE
thats a pretty nice system, too bad you cant afford it
then why did you buy a ryzen 3?
you were talking about a ryzen 3 the last time
Naw I got a 2600x
ok good
I can't wait to see what it can do when I get 3000mhz ram
2933 for ryzen or else it can become unstable
they dont use the best memory controllers
Ok

oh i read too deep into that like this is the perception of your life without raytracing 😄
@prime jasper That has been generally fixed
If you watch compatibility from manufactures you should have no issues getting RAM to run at 3200mhz
its still a thing though, you see a lot of low end boards have issues like that
it has gotten better but it's still not fool proof
Does anyone know how to fix a PunkBuster issue with BF4?
Why the hell is there a FTW3 edition 1080ti $650 vs $800 with 100hz lower clock
They make this very confusing
And then 5 similar cards with exact same clocks with different fans but can't tell what else
I dunno m8
For your first question, is it the seconds version of the card? Also the other bit is probably the better cooling/components on the PCB
feel like a 1070Ti is a huge waste right now with the 2070 price point being the same supposedly
if i buy anything itll be through EVGA for the step up program, no worries then
just need time for 2070 to come out, you get 90 days from purchase to upgrade to newer tech and just pay the price diff
its not, the 2070 is weird
if the hypothetical benchmarks are right, the 2070 is weaker than a 1070ti because the pci-e 3.1 slot is bottlenecking the 20xx series
sounds like a faill from nvidia to me
I'd probably play with RTX off either way
and got 1070 already so not really worth of the upgrade
for me 👀
Man I just noticed that my ram is capping my battlefield 1
I really should upgrade from 8 to 16gigs
But damn 155 euro's for ram?
@distant vine you can say that millions of times but people will always pick graphics over frames
for instance we had a dude who kept saying he was a professional gamer, how pros only played csgo on 60 fps because there wasnt a benefit to playing at 144 fps and only negatives. Also talked about how 60fps IPS panels were superior to 144hz TN panels
rtx might improve situational awareness since it i guess lights the surrounding areas better than without it
but i doubt
realistic expectations is RTX tech + RTX card = great perf, but the overall FPS will probably be comparable if not worse than a 1080Ti without RTX crap enabled?
ambient occlusion seems like a hindrance if anything to competitiveness
all these fancy ass features are extra bs for the eye to process
I'm only getting an rtx 2080ti because I want to have the ability to have ray tracing on in an rpg
expensive
im just waiting for more titles to support it 
i only got PUBG and will be getting BFV and those are the only games that will support it as for now
fun fact, the 2080ti is actually a titan with gaming drivers
its just confusing marketing from them
I thought you played csgo on a trash can
😉
@scenic gorge u get nothing
when is 1080ti going to be $450
Probably not soon
Who knows
RTX is meme status for a lot of people atm due to the prices, so a lot seem to be holding onto their cards & skipping this new gen for now
I sure will be, with my comfy GTX1070ti
Sure was looking forward to the new cards, but HA, nice meme NVIDIA
@rose eagle when the 2180ti comes out it will be
i dont see any reason 2080ti will push 1080ti prices down that far
with its price point
if the 2070 is within 10% perf of the 1080ti it will drive the prices down
nvidia got the bright idea to call the titan of this gen the 2080ti
which is why its $1200\
@agile rain i hate you weeb
it actually might not work well with gaming because nvidia says stupid stuff like "its not for gaming"
its more of people buying them up because the price is spiking on them again
because they realized the prices of stupid ass 20xx and perf isnt as expected? ;D
shoulda snagged one for 650
Yes
should have
the cheapest they will get used is probably 500-550
used kingpins are like $1300
thats above msrp
actually you can find 1080s all over the place for 300-350
Is my PC good enough to run Skyrim?
yes
on top of that it's confusing with the boost clocks
1569 MHz - Boostable to 1683 MHz vs 1480 MHz - Boostable to 1683 MHz
why the core clock diffs
its a 1080 ti..
factory overclocks
CPUs dont have all this nonsense
and the internal turbo booster
feel like ill regret any 1080ti if i dont get at least a 1670+
if AMD processors had board partners, they would
It's just factory overclocks, you can completely ignore them
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487336 theres still this nice one for 650
why would you pay +$150 for that FTW3 wtih 3 fans?
because its better
the FTW3 runs cooler, has a superior pcb, superior bin on the gpu, and tons of other reasons
with a 1080ti if you dont get a 3 fan, just get a 1080 since the card runs hot that it can throttle in shit tier cases
Aka my case :)
yeah, your case would throttle a 1080ti
Most likely
i got a fat ass full tower from 2000 😄
Because I have a shittyyyyyyy case
son of a bitch weighs like 40lb
@rose eagle which case?
plenty room all around my vid card
It's a shitty box of shit
hell if i know anymore lol
take a picture
Oh yeah my gpu has a decent amount of room
its just a solid box 😄
just because it has room doesnt mean the case is thermally sound
O
Dang son
pff my 3770k is rockin
the stock cooler was pushin my cpu to 85c easy
i got aftermarket cheap and now it's 40c idle
I have an nh-d15
That's my shit box
my case has 2 80mm in and out
so i dont see any problem with it
I have no need for a 1080ti
theres like 4inches under my video card where an 80mm fan blows right across it
and an 80mm doesnt produce enough air flow for modern gpus
unless its running at like 4000 rpm
200 for a case
it just will throttle them

I have a stock cooler but as you recommended I should overclock it slightly so it doesnt turbo
thats higher than I like to see
I'm thinking of getting an h7
But lemme see if that'd fit in my case
Are thermal pads good?
Like the alternative to paste
Lol alright
jayztwocents did a video about it
Just was wondering because it showed up when I searched up thermal paste
are you talking about those graphite pads?
yes, its also one of the best on the market
its not easy to install
O
and expect to be cut by it
the fins are razor blades
They look that way
i care about looks
Are there any aio coolers that would be better for a similar price
Liquid coolers I mean
fuck no
Haha alright
AIOs or liquid coolers in general.. hahaYES 
@prime jasper if I opt to go for one easier to set up what should I get
Don't really have an opinion honestly.
my 3770k is now stable OCd from 3.5 to 4.3 on the old trusty EVO 212, $20
in my omgwtfbbq case you think is shit 😉
its actually only at 4.3 due to requiring 1.27v to get there
not really due to heating issues
Doesnt ryzen run a lot hotter then that CPU though?
which one?
you need a bracket for Ryzen most likely
AM4
dont care what anyone says, for $20 you cannot beat this https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212E-20PK-R2-Direct-Contact/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535145229&sr=8-1&keywords=hyper+212+evo
$10 MIR right now, $30 usually
got a week to decide ;P
i also got MX-4 thermal compound for $10
Actually you can, for $20 you can get a block of copper and cut groves into it and it'll cool it several hundred times better
also the 212 cant cool a ryzen very well, 212s are no longer good
h7 is a decent enough cooler though, I wouldnt call it easy to install though
@rose eagle never go less than kryonaught. MX-4 isnt a bad paste, it just scratches the fuck out of everything and needs to be replaced once a year on average
stick with the most reviews on amazon and your life will turn out average and happy
and give all technology at least 1 year before adopting it
if I could settle for average then I wouldnt be making 6 figures a year
@scenic gorge 😦
Wow so cool 6 figures 
explains why im always broke though
That's probably true
@prime jasper Stop spending money on hookers smh
Thats alot of bills 
As soon as I can afford it, I am buying a Tesla Model 3 👀 but that is just me
kek
No kek for you
Mo money Mo problems
If you got none you don't care about tech 😆
Only reason I'm considering a
New card is because GameStop did well for me this month
👀
I rolled the magic 8 ball and played the option on it and it went on a nice bull run ;)
I should reinvest it all but what's the fun in that
Or drop twelve grand on GPUs to mine with
Then cry when crypto mining isn't worth it anymore
Because you dropped twelve grand on GPUs you couldn't afford to begin with, so you got loans for, etc.
Yea that doesn't sound like it's in my 10 year plan
@rose eagle just buy a used one off r/hardwareswap
r/nosleep is crazy
what does that have to do with tech?
Not much
then post it in general
^ or nowhere

100 dollar shipping

Oculus Rift and general VR is overhyped. Not many games.
I would wait until VR is a technology that we are capable of optimising and expanding.
it wont happen
itll come and go like the wind as it did in the 80s ;D
its for people who have plenty of disposable income who just want something cool
anyone with a family it's kind of.. what? Detaching yourself from your actual family and surroundings, you're all alone in a set of goggles.. isn't ideal.
@sour ivy My dude
There was this one post with $250.00 shipping as well
Some sketchy ass cunts trying to scam people
I normally would agree, but companies are already working on the 2nd generation of VR head sets, the new prototypes are like goggles & lightweight, for some designs @rose eagle
Not to mention that it has really positive feedback, usually, I don't see this being a fad
VR was total shit in the 80's, even more so in the 60's with the first prototype that took up a small closet space, & required the user to sit, you may be right, but I think its to the level where people can use it pretty comfortably & enjoy it now, enough to keep using it
VR is really cool, the issue is that its still a prototype. It requires a fuck ton of free space and has issues.
I know a dude who bought a ps4 vr headset and a ton of games for it... he only plays rb6s and hasnt even opened the games yet
VRChat has been hacked, this patch, lmao, the main game I want to use it for
People are labeling themselves as Mods/Devs, tracking players logins/instance activity, crashing people, sending moderation messages & warnings to people in mass numbers in worlds, etc.
More so than usual, actual hacks, not some script kiddie stuff that half the playerbase uses at this point
So I'm questioning if its even worth it to spend $400 on an Oculus with things like this going on all the time
New update, DevTools on VRChat officially hacked
Half of my mates and two of my bros have the Vive, I was going to save up for the Vive pro but ended up getting a good monitor instead
Oh no
Vive Pro isn't worth the price, compared to what it offers
A lot prefer the original Vive over the Pro as well
But but....moar pixels!
If you have the stands already get the pro
Its not worth all the extra money if you have nothing vive releated
I have a pro vibrator too
I mean, who doesn't
which laptop should i buy
i want a laptop thats not black and red
and has gpu
£1200 budget
why not buy a desktop with that budget ?
👆
i have a desktop
ahh well idk
maybe macbook idk
depends what you wanna do with it
I bought my macbook 4 weeks ago and i am super happy with it
which one did u buy
macbooks are for very specific uses, generally they get completely wrecked in those by linux OS laptops, but it requires effort
what are you trying to use it for? I can tell you what would be the best pick
Of you're after the cleanest looking porn, mac books are the best pick.
Hey guys, calling all hardware gurus
i recently changed a chassi fan because a fan started making noises and i suspects its a chassi fan
i used an older one, stock for my last computer, and the only difference i can see is that its 0.14a instead of 0.38a
how can that affect my comp? its on the rear of the chassi
@prime jasper design
architectural/civil
plus i have a pc with i5 8400 1060 16gb ram
so dont need it to be insanely beefy
@wet notch can shortout the fan/fan port
it can?
yes
but it means ampere?
yes
higher ampere fans normally mean higher voltage
lower ones can sometimes short out on it
oh shit
0.38a would normally indicated 12v
they are both 12v
then that means the 0.14a is an incredibly low rpm
or it's prone to massive power leakage
yeah its definately more quiet
but is higher ampere better?
or must it be exactly the same as the other one
okies
if the voltages are the same, it'll probably be fine
they probably wont know
honestly amperes are something you dont normally list on specs for a reason
it just has to do with power flow
ah yeah
i called em up and he said it's not going to short it or anything, but the airflow might get worse
so i think i'll order a new chassis fan and use this one for like 2 days
cuz i still want to keep a decent airflow
Thats generally what Im thinking, I still wouldn't fuck with it too much as some motherboards are really finicky
ye
pls help.
When i start bf4 on my pc, i get sound and a black screen. but can hear the mouse hovering over buttons on the screen. when i click outside the game screen i get the screen up right. but when i click back it gets black.. tried reset the video settings didn't help.
"not sure what i did but it works again."
Ok lol
Why does BO3 have to run on a host system for zombies 
😐
do you really expect blizzard-activision to supply servers to a copypasta low budget high profit game?
is it difficult to replace a power supply on a desktop pc?
no
Just annoying
Depends on the case for how easy it is
And if you can be stuffed making the cable routing nice
the stuff im worrying about mostly is: either forgetting to connect something and breaking my computer when it starts, or: figuring out which order the hard drives should be connected
if you forget something it just wont start. Power supply order for hdds doesnt matter
actually its difficult to messed up anything
I got a server connection issue? I press join and goes on loading then it turns black and take me back to join section
thank you
@wet notch is it a prebuilt tower?
what do you mean?
some prebuilts like from dell have proprietary PSUs
which either mean it's tricky or impossible
ah, yeah, i bought the computer already built
but, the company i bought it from puts parts from different brands together
might be fine, generally though it's not hard
what company?
Oh! One thing is never to use mixed brands for cables and PSU, they're not properly standardized
Yes. Also some brands aren't even standardized with their own cables. I've had issues like that with seasonic before
@prime jasper they are called "komplett", but pretty exclusive to scandinavia i think
Yeah I know nothing of them.
Does anyone know if you can make BF1 remember the window size and position, in windowed mode?
by yelling at windows
Actually, you can set the window dimensions, and positioning in the user.cfg located on your bf1 folder
that works too, but I prefer yelling at windows
it deserves it, it's been a very bad OS
Lmao
any game can claim RTX now probably with like hardly any implementation of it
nvidia can pay me $500k if they want for my indie game and ill gladly implement some RTX on our 2d game
missed these game ready drivers already for BF:V beta
Windows 10 has indeed been very bad @prime jasper
Had the BSoD 3 times since I got my new rig with Windows 10, never BSoD before in my life all the way from Windows 95 to Windows 7, switch to Windows 10, & in the span of 3 months, 3 BSoD? Fucking rip
Win10 BSODs on me constantly
fun fact, more often than not it's because I didnt update windows
like with TESO, when it updates if you arent on the most current win10 update it bsods
Yeah.. I've never hated an OS so much in my life
I even installed Mint on my desktop as well, after my Antegros install failed because of my motherboard having issues with it, trying to switch my main OS, but of course gaming on Linux is.. 
I was ready to ditch Windows all together, but sadly I have to stick with it
Never has an OS in my life pissed me off so much
gaming on linux is getting better
steam is actually putting effort into linux support now
does anyone own any 200mm RGB fans and what ones to recommend
my shitty stock 200mm fans are dying in my Thermaltake Chaser MK-1
Youd need to get the exact ones for the case, 200mm isnt standardized
not to mention I think only coolermaster and thermaltake make them these days, maybe others
I know noctua does, but those arent rgb
The ones in the H500P are supposedly alright, however the standardisation issue is still there
plus the chase mk-1 is an old case
which means even new thermaltakes might not fit
because 200m fans were never actually 200m
Mine bosds when sometimes when i turn it on after its aslerp
Yeah it sucks, I don't want to buy another set of the stock 200mm fans because they suck
theres a reason why they stopped making them for years
Anyone knows how to fix this? I can quicklaunch BF1 from windows button but BF1 keep bouncing out of server loading page. BF4 works though.
Origin is forever stuck in this screen, but Steam and Uplay both works smoothly.
Uninstall/reinstall if it doesn't work after relaunching
Or, open as administrator
Did that, cleaned origin cache and browser cache as a EA forum page suggested
And uninstalled/reinstalled?
Yes.
Using EVGA PrecisionX Anyone know how to slow down a GPU Clock?
Don't wanna fuck with anything i don't know
@prime jasper TESO, you play elder scrolls?
Yes I do
Just go to view and game library
do you guys think BF5 will run as good as BF1? my i7 3770k is starting to show its age but if the two games run nearly identical as good it might not be worth spending all the money for a new CPU and motherboard
It won't run the same but you still should be able to run it @prime jasper
Youd also need a ram upgrade as well
true, i think it will be a struggle hitting around 120-150 frames though to utilize my 144hz monitor
Oh, you definitely won't be hitting those frames
@prime jasper knows much more than me
But I can't see a world where the 3370k runs the game at 144fps
i dont expect to run it at maximum graphics but still
i have a 1070 aswell but i doubt it will be able to carry the weight
yeah well, lets hope the beta is a good resemblance of the final performance
Yes
I'm hoping I can run it well, since i just got some extra ram
My ram was hitting 95 percent on the alpha
damn, how many gbs u running?
I WAS running 8
Now I have 12
Yes, I'm losing out on performance
But still it shouldn't lag so much
8gb isnt really enough for bfv
8gb isnt really enough for any triple AAA game with good graphics
i guess
@prime jasper you'll be fine. you might bottleneck slightly though. What hertz is your cpu at?
@prime jasper 4.3 ghz
you can always try to get 4.5 or 4.6, it might help with a few frames
is it that easy to overclock it? im familliar with overclocking my GPU but i have never tried anything with my CPU
yeah its pretty easy
just dont go higher than 1.35v
i'd suggest not trying to pass 1.2 though
try just boosting the clock without increasing the voltage first though
never know how high it can get
ill definitely look into it, thanks for the answers
no problem
@prime jasper you do realize 1.2v is below the stock voltage for almost every chip?
Generally 1.4-1.45v is the limit people say
vcore is 1.0
and no, 1.35 is the recommended limit as anything over can damage the cpu
and motherboard
Really? Because the stock voltage on my 8600k was 1.22v?
and I would like you to link me to the product specification that says that 1.35v is the voltage limit for CPUs and motherboards
Because I shoved 1.512v into my 8600k on a non-overclocking motherboard to get on a leaderboard without any damage
and even with setting my vcore to 1.0v, it still turbos up to 1.22v since I'm too lazy to fuck around in the BIOS
Its on the intel and amd schematics and every guide. Also that 1.22v is from the turbo clock, if you leave everything on auto it can also underclock itself below 1.0 when say you're just using discord
You can shove as much voltage as you want to, but that doesn't mean that prolonged use wont damage it, because it can
remember that I said can, not will
why not just grab it yourself? AMD and intel both have them.
lets see
the max recommended for normal use cases is 1.35, personally i dont like going higher. Ive fried a ton of cpus in my life.
1.35 and under is the "safe" standard
because a quick google search only brings up schematics for ancient CPUs
Its not publicly release information
and no, most people say 1.4-1.45v is the 'safe' limit
No they dont
It depends entirely on your CPU and cooling
some hardcore ones will say 1.4-1.45 but only on enthusiast sites where it's assumed you have high end cooling.
I'm assuming people here have stock coolers
and lower end parts
you shouldn't be overclocking on stock coolers
So you are literally telling people to risk frying their CPUs on something you should only be doing on high end cooling
well ryzen stock coolers are just fine for minor OC
with intel Im assuming they have a 212
Im not telling anyone to do major OC, just very minor
100 or 200 mhz
I run a 212 since I'm a cheap fuck but I know what I'm doing and undervolted it hard
100 to 200mhz does literally nothing
it can
which isn't noticeable
