[prime jasper]

time to change server q.q

[scarlet estuary]

There is a post on the forums about that bug

I think it happens when someone is reviving you and you or him dies.

[quartz canopy]

I had that during the alpha before

[scarlet estuary]

An enemy fixed my problem by finding me and killing me again.

[prime jasper]

lol weird

[quartz canopy]

might have to wait a bit and see if you're able to respawn

leaving servers every time that happens isn't going to be fun 😄

[prime jasper]

when u are so close to get v1 rocket and bullsht happens

somehow there are 2 loading icons and cant join a match

🤔

@sour ivy @scarlet estuary cpu temp is about 57-60C

[scarlet estuary]

better temps than me

[prime jasper]

uh

[sour ivy]

thats fine

idk

[scarlet estuary]

when was the last time you played battlefield 1 ?

maybe something happend in a couple of month with your windows installation and you are also getting bad performance with bf1, but you don't know yet?

[prime jasper]

few days ago

[scarlet estuary]

mmm

have you been able to confirm that most of you cores are near 100% while you are getting 40-50fps?

[prime jasper]

i just played a game on rotterdam and i get about 55-60 fps but sometimes drops to 49 suddenly for no reason

[scarlet estuary]

Or is it your GPU that is near 100%?

[prime jasper]

usage?

[scarlet estuary]

Yes usage

[prime jasper]

mm let me enable them and i will let you know

[scarlet estuary]

If your CPU is 60-80% while you are not getting 60fps then it is not your CPU

In that case, it is something else 😐

[prime jasper]

ok i will check rn

[sand plinth]

can i use apple jack earbuds on a ps4 remote, i usually get a loud screeching sound

[prime jasper]

No, those require a dac to function properly

in theory you can but that will happen is the sound can become distorted

[sand plinth]

thanks could i use a usb adapter into my console

@prime jasper

[prime jasper]

I dont know

maybe?

[sand plinth]

ill try

could i plug my phone in and use that microphone

[prime jasper]

I just stuck to analog headsets when using a console when I did use one

[sand plinth]

hmm okay

[prime jasper]

My game just randomly closes itselfs any idea? I get no error at all

[sand plinth]

@prime jasper if i use the psn chat app could the headphones work ?

[prime jasper]

I dont know anything about its chat app or even that it had one

[sand plinth]

okay

[steep gust]

Doesn't the PS4 come with an albeit bad but usable mic?

[sand plinth]

so crap it stopped working after a month

[real bramble]

@prime jasper i have the same problem. lmk if you ever find a fix

[potent estuary]

so i play join it loads and sends me back to the server list :/

[prime jasper]

unable to install the driver 399.7

[restive wigeon]

@potent estuary Same here

[prime jasper]

We can not help with issues with bugs in the beta, this is also not a good place to report them as no one will see it.

@real bramble wrote you a message

[magic totem]

Did you try to use the server browser?

[prime jasper]

@crimson dirge the last one right?

[crimson dirge]

first one

[sour ivy]

I'm happy with how Bfv is running

[quaint topaz]

yeah it runs very smooth

compared to bf1

[strange bough]

hey, I get matchmaking failed... an error has occured with your squad info

[crimson dirge]

go to advanced search and join game from there

and yeah bfv runs smooth..narvik has some problems tho

[rancid delta]

2 complains: -the weapon upgrade system blows

-too many animations

feels like u get trapped in animations like every 15 seconds

but other than that its gorgeous and fun

[quaint topaz]

[strong breach]

1337

[winged tapir]

[wet notch]

had noise issues with a broken fan (prolly) for weeks now, just changed the power supply

please pray for me that the problem is gone now

[prime jasper]

rmad my psu like 6months ago finally returned it to the store kek

[wet notch]

😄

i apparently have a 3 year warranty on my computer

so they sent me a bunch of newer stuff because what i had 2½ years ago dont exist anymore 😄

[magic totem]

Luckkkyyy

[prime jasper]

the store i got the psu from is on Bankruptcy thats the only reason i wanted to rma

i wish theyd give me money instead

[ocean cedar]

i need help, i have downloaded the BFV Open Beta

but

no matter what setting i use i will always have 30 fps

why is that?

and lag spikes. i have a GTX 960, it is well over the minimum u need to play it and i can play BF1 with ultra settings and still have 80fps+

[iron canyon]

full PC specs?

[vale egret]

@ocean cedar u arent the only one

[autumn vigil]

What are your specs?

[vale egret]

mine?

[autumn vigil]

Yes

[vale egret]

i5 6500 gtx 1070 16gb ram

[autumn vigil]

Almost the same as mine

[vale egret]

i got tired of playing, way too buggy and laggy

[autumn vigil]

Not suprised

[vale egret]

fps spikes to 45 then back to 60 then again 45

[iron canyon]

I have an i7 4790k, GTX 1070 16GB RAM... and getting 80 fps on low ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vale egret]

i get 20 on low 50-60 on ultra:)

my cpu is huge bottleneck tho

[autumn vigil]

I5 7600K, GTX 1070 16GB RAM and I'm getting 50-100fps on Ultra

[vale egret]

damn

im about to buy new cpu

so i hope ill get more fps then

[iron canyon]

my frames more doubled in BF1 when I upgraded from an i5 to an i7

[autumn vigil]

Get a top of the line I7 if you can afford it

[molten coral]

i7 8700k

[sour ivy]

Yeah because a 6500 sucks

@ocean cedar ram and cpu?

[warm dragon]

lol the 6500 is about 30-40% less performance compared to a 4790K

[sour ivy]

Yep

^^^^

[warm dragon]

even 4-5 years old that 4790 is a monster

[sour ivy]

Well especially compared to the 6500

[warm dragon]

the 8700K is looking to be the natural upgrade

[sour ivy]

@vale egret that fps makes sense considering your cpu

[vale egret]

hmmm

[sour ivy]

How much ram do you have

[vale egret]

the huge lag spikes dont

16gb

[warm dragon]

@vale egret with a 4790K and 980TI i average 75-80 FPS on high settings 3440x1440 dx11

to give u an idea

[vale egret]

and the fact that i cant even play with friednsd cuz this laggy af

[sour ivy]

Right

[vale egret]

980ti and gtx 1070 are about same

i think 1070 a bit better¨

[sour ivy]

The gpu is just fine

[warm dragon]

u got it backwards

[vale egret]

yeah

[warm dragon]

but they r close

[sour ivy]

Its a great one you got

[vale egret]

u sure?

[warm dragon]

ya 1 sec

[sour ivy]

But it's the cpu

[vale egret]

i remember thinking about which one to buy

[sour ivy]

The 6500 is trash

I had one

[warm dragon]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

[sour ivy]

I got those spikes

[warm dragon]

take a look towards the top

the 980ti is right between a 1070 and 1070ti

it also produces a ton of heat and consumes a lot of power so to each their own

[vale egret]

oh

[sour ivy]

Idk the 1070 is more than enough for stable frames on bfv

You just need to upgrade that cpu

[vale egret]

yeah i will

and ill buy new motherboard too

[sour ivy]

Yep ofc

[vale egret]

and when christmas comes everythign else too

so ill get that good 140fps

[molten coral]

Go for a 8700k if you can it's god tier.

[vale egret]

hmm its 350e

i guess i can afford that

[sour ivy]

8700k with a great liquid cooler =

[prime jasper]

my 8700k is only at 70% usage while my 1080ti is at 90%

[vale egret]

i wanna buy that swett liquid rgb cooler

[prime jasper]

id wait for the new intel shit hope if they solder them

[vale egret]

nzxt something something

[sour ivy]

Why dont they solder

Lol

[prime jasper]

i guess price reducing lol

its basically toothpaste in there

[molten coral]

I have NZXT kraken x41 it only has 1 fan but it's works alright I guess.

I have my 8700k Oc'ed to 4,9ghz

[sour ivy]

Intel overclocks give me boners

[prime jasper]

i have mine at 4.3 i have low end mobo

[sour ivy]

Not that bad

Lol

[prime jasper]

4.3 1.1v could prob be less but dont want to bother

[molten coral]

Yeah when I thought about buying a 8700k I said to myself just get the best board I can get for 200.

[prime jasper]

i got the 8700k for future proofing kek

if the board dies i can always buy new one

[molten coral]

Didn't wanna waste money and don't wanna upgrade for atleast a couple of years.

[sour ivy]

Meanwhile I have a 2600x

Oof

[molten coral]

Big oof

[sour ivy]

Not really a big ood

Oof

It's running everything like a charm

I mean I'm not asking for 144 fps lol

[molten coral]

My experience with AMD is not good so i'll always stay with Intel.

[sour ivy]

Your experience is with fx?

[prime jasper]

i love amd but its lackluster

especially the crimson control panel is nice compared to nvidias ancient one

[sour ivy]

Wouldn't call it lackluster if we're talking about cpus

Not as good as Intel, sure.

[autumn vigil]

Intel are pretty sexy

[sour ivy]

Pretty hot

Literally

XD

[prime jasper]

i could buy xeon e5-1650 v2 for like 120e and oc it with a decent board

[autumn vigil]

I thought the Xeon processors were for servers

[prime jasper]

that one is for x79

and it supports cheap ecc

shame its ddr3 kek

[autumn vigil]

Oof

[sour ivy]

Ddr3 is god tier

Very fast

[ocean cedar]

i have i5, 16GB tamn and GTX 960 and dont know the rest

[sour ivy]

Which i5 @ocean cedar

[last fiber]

has anyone else problems with squads and friends?

[vale egret]

i kinda start to feel like cpu is a lot more important in gaming than gpu

[sour ivy]

Eh

Really depends on the title

Battlefield definitely

[vale egret]

i mainly play lol arma and bf:/

i always tohught gpu is more important

i was wrong.

[sour ivy]

Then CPU is much more important xD

[vale egret]

yeap

[sour ivy]

My main game is csgo

So definitely cpu

[autumn vigil]

My main is also a Valve game

[vale egret]

in conclusion, cpu is more important

well maybe in games like witcher gpu

but multiplayer definitely

cpu

[autumn vigil]

Would Garry's Mod be CPU?

I'm guessing so

[sour ivy]

Yes

Because it runs on source

[autumn vigil]

Wait, that was a stupid question

[frail jolt]

Hi guys, could you help me please. I want to buy Battlefield V as a gift for my brother. His laptop has following specs: i7-7700HQ, GTX1050Ti 4gb, 8gb RAM. Can it run Battlefield V at least on medium settings? Thanks

[formal spire]

yes

[sour ivy]

Is the ram upgradable @frail jolt

I'd firstly suggest that he try the beta, it will give a good idea of how it will perform

[bitter badge]

Guys can anyone of you help me

I am trying the battlefield open beta now, on a gtx 1080 and i7 8700K

and I am really having super bad performance issues

my fps on ultra on 1080p is not above like 30

and the game looks terrible

[sour ivy]

How much ram do you have

[bitter badge]

16

[sour ivy]

Are you using dx12

[bitter badge]

uhm

[sour ivy]

Check

[bitter badge]

where can I check it

[sour ivy]

If it's on, that's your problen

Problem*

[bitter badge]

how can i use dx11 then?

[sour ivy]

Should be in video settings

Something about dx12

Advanced settings

I'm not at home

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll look later

[bitter badge]

okay thanks bud appriciate the help 😄

[sour ivy]

No problem

Let me know if dx12 is off

[prime jasper]

With such specs DX12 should give a performance increase, not decrease

[sour ivy]

Lol

Not always

@bitter badge is your fps capped at 30?

[bitter badge]

okay im restarting it now

[sour ivy]

It might fix your problem

[bitter badge]

turned dx12 off

[sour ivy]

Dx12 is good on some systems

If it's not better put it back on

[bitter badge]

wow it even made it worse XD

my frame rate cap is on 200 😦

[sour ivy]

Put it back on

[bitter badge]

kk

[sour ivy]

What do your temps look like?

[bitter badge]

I think all fine

like battlefield I easily play on 120 fps

[sour ivy]

When is the last time you played it

[bitter badge]

i have the task manager on my second screen btw

like 2 days ago

[sour ivy]

Okay

Then it's not a temperature problem

Do you have vsync on

[bitter badge]

yes

but I dont think it has to do with that at all

[sour ivy]

Can you reset your video settings

[bitter badge]

mm sure

[sour ivy]

Okay

[bitter badge]

shall i restart my pc btw

[sour ivy]

Why not

That probably wont help but do it anyways

[bitter badge]

alright back in 2 min (have an ssd) xd

[sour ivy]

Ok

[vale egret]

i restart in 10 sec

how it takes 2mins for u

[sour ivy]

Good job

Xd

[vale egret]

i got samsung m.2 ssd

fast af boiiii

dead meme sry

[sour ivy]

Reeee

[bitter badge]

back

ah exactly 21 min eheh

i have the samsung too hehe xd

m.2

[vale egret]

oh

wait ill try to restart

beb

[bitter badge]

2 min not 21* XDD

[vale egret]

o fuck

i shutdown

not restart

wait ill restart now

hmm 40sec

took 15 sec to shutdown tho thats unusual

[bitter badge]

okay the restart seems to work a bit

its a lot better now

its still not the standard i want to see but its defintely al ot better and its playable

[sour ivy]

What is it now

[bitter badge]

but like if im close to an object, or looking close to a wall

it looks like an old gray tv

[sour ivy]

Turn off film grain effect in video settings

And vignetting

[bitter badge]

lots of noise

ah

[sour ivy]

That's the film grain effect

Lol

Its in bf1 too its gross

[prime jasper]

What drivers you're running on? @bitter badge

[bitter badge]

newest

[prime jasper]

Well, never mind if there's only 1 supported driver now. But I don't want to fuck it

[vale egret]

o damn i get 70-80fps now

[prime jasper]

Hmm okay

[bitter badge]

okay it seems fine now its not good

but its not bad

im gonna try the game out now and will be back if i have some more issues thanks a lot @sour ivy for helpin' me out

[quiet coyote]

This cant be good. How to fix?

[sour ivy]

What's happening to your screen

Lol

[wet notch]

Does it only happen in BFV @quiet coyote

[trail root]

Is anyone else having origin issues? I have zero friends online and my friends have zero friends online, but we're all online.

[bitter badge]

@sour ivy ok nvm

its fucking bad again

imma launch battlefield 1 to see its hardware related xd

[quiet coyote]

yes. only when i start it :/ but after setting it to borderless it's fine again.

[steep gust]

@quiet coyote GPU issues

[steep root]

is there anybody that found a way to remove taa somehow?

[naive fiber]

Anyone know how to fix this?

[steep gust]

reduce sensitivity?

[naive fiber]

left it at default

[steep gust]

yeah

reduce dpi

[naive fiber]

same mouse as work and home

[steep gust]

still

you clearly have a too high DPI or need to reduce ingame sens

[naive fiber]

dpi change dont do anything

[sour ivy]

Lol

Wgat

[limber dawn]

Can you play on windows 7?

[errant jungle]

i have a 1050ti but bfv runs at 20-30 fps regardless of the settings i have it on. even on the lowest resolution.

[sour ivy]

what is your cpu

@errant jungle

[errant jungle]

g4560 😦

[sour ivy]

well that explains it...

[steep gust]

Yeah its a CPU driven game

[sour ivy]

that's a terrible CPU

[steep gust]

Its not

[errant jungle]

fuckkk

[steep gust]

Its a decent budget cpu

[errant jungle]

i can run bf4 really well. not tried bf1

[limber dawn]

budget cpu = bad cpu

[steep gust]

bf4 is old

Fun fact

[errant jungle]

i'd have thought i could run it at 60 on low with 720p

[steep gust]

Anything outside of the 8700k @5.0ghz for gaming = bad

see how that argument is worthless?

[sour ivy]

It's bad for BFV

[vale egret]

HOLY fuck despacito is amazing song

[errant jungle]

it shouldn't be THAT bad

[steep gust]

isn't it a 2c 4t CPU?

[errant jungle]

yh

[steep gust]

is it even within min spec?

[sour ivy]

Yes it should be

It should be that bad

It's not even at minimum specs

[steep gust]

Then that explains why it runs bad

The game was almost certainty built around 4c 4t CPUs

Since those are the most common

[vale egret]

hmm i need new cpu too

[sour ivy]

Yeah but he needs a new one more LOL

[vale egret]

i feel like they fixed something

i was getting solid 70-80 fps now without gpu overclock

[errant jungle]

what CPU should I get?

[steep gust]

I had my 1080 at 50% power limit and saw no true gains in performance when setting my overclock back

Depends on your budget

[sour ivy]

How much do you have

[errant jungle]

that wouldn't require a new mobo

ummm no more than £100

[sour ivy]

oh god

[errant jungle]

😦

[steep gust]

i3 8100

might be slightly out of budget but its your best bet

[errant jungle]

why is that still so expensive ffs

[sour ivy]

he doesnt want a new mobo

thats not expensive lol

[errant jungle]

it is for me 😦

[sour ivy]

so save

[steep gust]

i3 8100 is on the same chipset

[sour ivy]

As kaby lake?

Oh shit

forgot lol

you still wont be getting 60 fps with the 8100

[errant jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDoCh9xyJME

how is this dude doing it?

unless he a lier 😠

[sour ivy]

lol

that's gotta be fake

[steep gust]

g5460 is cofflelake

[sour ivy]

betrayed should i have future frame rendering on

[errant jungle]

kaby lake im sure

[sour ivy]

g4560

he said he has the g4560

[steep gust]

oh rip

then the cheapest 4c CPU on that generation

[sour ivy]

god

that perf still wont be good really

[steep gust]

better than a 2c

[sour ivy]

still not 60fps probably

[errant jungle]

i mean i can run the witcher 3 on med-high settings at 60 fps

[sour ivy]

because that's a GPU dependent game

[steep gust]

How much RAM do you have and is it dual channeL?

[errant jungle]

oic

8

[steep gust]

at 1080p everything is CPU dependent boyo

[errant jungle]

yh

[sour ivy]

is it dual channel

[errant jungle]

oh actually it's not, it's one channel atm

[steep gust]

it shouldn't be that big of an issue

dual channel vs single channel in games is very little

[sour ivy]

dude the cpus youll get for that price arent minimum spec

[steep gust]

source?

[sour ivy]

the minimum spec for bf1 is a 6600k lol

[steep gust]

or an FX 6850

[sour ivy]

right

[steep gust]

which is terrible

[sour ivy]

he said no new mobo

so

lol

battlefield just isnt made for cheap shit

[steep gust]

Do you know how bad the FX 6850 is?

[valid bolt]

I mean it runs at 60 fps on the PS4

[steep gust]

key word here

FX

[valid bolt]

the PS4 basically has an underclocked FX

[sour ivy]

yeah FX sucks

we know

[valid bolt]

FX sucks but PS4 is still fine with it

PC has some optimization problems with CPUs

DX12 might be able to fix it

[sour ivy]

lol dx12

[valid bolt]

if the implementation wasn't so shit

DX12 uses less CPU if it's done right

[steep gust]

uh what

[wet notch]

Yeah. in Total war games i get better performance when using DX12, in BFV it's acting really strangely for me

[valid bolt]

yep

just because DX12 doesn't work well in BF, it doesn't mean the API itself is worse

[warm dragon]

Apparently they only optimized the beta client around a 6 core 1080 system

4 core users and below are going to struggle with DX12

and imo thx 9XX nvidia series seems to do better at DX11

[valid bolt]

that's consistent with other games

the 900 series barely supports the DX12 features

[steep gust]

what

6c CPUs aren't that common

[steep root]

Im fine with a 4core tho

[valid bolt]

and DX11 relies more on driver optimizations, while DX12 relies on the game devs

[steep gust]

They wouldn't optimized around something a small amount of users use

[valid bolt]

consoles have a ton of players on 8 core

some of that optimization probably carries over

[steep gust]

what

[steep root]

“Core”

[steep gust]

I don't think you understand how CPUs work

[steep root]

8 “cores”

[valid bolt]

it's still 8 cores, just not "complete" ones

[white wind]

I have a 8 core CPU

And I'm glad that entirely 0 games/programs I use, use all 8 cores

Let alone 6

Let alone 4

Let alone 2

[steep root]

using a 2012 arch in 2018

[white wind]

[steep gust]

Games use 4c CPUs?

[valid bolt]

most games use 2 threads

[steep gust]

not really

[valid bolt]

they do, physics and AI on one, graphics stuff on the other

for example

[steep gust]

Uh okay lets just ignore when I watch games use 6 cores

[valid bolt]

which ones?

pretty much nothing before DX12/vulkan uses over 3/4 threads

I don't think I'm the one not understanding CPUs here

[steep gust]

I know Planetside 2 does a decent job at stressing multiple cores

I'll watch task manager in my next match of BFV just for you

and DX11 is an API, its on the devs to make sure their games take advantage of more cores

[valid bolt]

which is way easier on DX12

https://www.overclock.net/photopost/data/1454571/6/6e/6e1ad863_1NhEL5f.jpeg

DX11

https://www.overclock.net/photopost/data/1454571/c/c0/c0f901cd_j6HTDUd.jpeg

DX12

on Ashes of singularity

[steep gust]

one game

[valid bolt]

DX11 makes the GPU drivers do a lot more and they run on a single core

[steep gust]

right now on BFV

[valid bolt]

while DX12 is much closer to the actual hardware

[steep gust]

DX11

6c 6t CPU and its using all 6c to 100%

[valid bolt]

where the optimization problems come from

screenshot?

[steep gust]

I just closed task manger thanks

[valid bolt]

yeah sure

[steep gust]

give me a second

yeah dude I have a single fucking monitor I don't like task manager up

[steep gust]

I feel like 3.7ghz is more of a limiting factor than CPU cores usage

[valid bolt]

lmao

[white wind]

I could OC it but I only have a stock cooler, I mean, I could & it'd be fine even with that

But my system has more than enough performance, never saw a reason to OC CPU or GPU

[valid bolt]

if games could do multicore properly, you would get 8x more performance out of it

or over with hyperthreading

but they can't

[steep gust]

uh that isn't how cores work

With threadripper do I get 32x more performance?

and virtual threads have their own issues

[valid bolt]

if it's perfectly optimized for multicore, yes

but nothing is

you're really the one not understanding CPUs at all

[steep gust]

that makes no sense but ok

[valid bolt]

do you know what cores are?

[steep gust]

because threadripper has a bunch of fucking issues that stop its performance

Yes and last I knew even when games support 6c+ I still don't get 6x performance vs locking it to 1c

[valid bolt]

because they fucking don't

[steep gust]

Because some games fucking do?

[valid bolt]

or if they do, they don't split the load evenly

[steep gust]

BFV is being a bitch and doesn't want to work but I'll get you a screenshot in like a minute

[valid bolt]

the core handling graphics is going to maxed out really easily

and splitting the workload over multiple cores is close to impossible

[steep gust]

okay so by that logic

I won't get 6x+ performance if games support multicore since its near impossible?

[valid bolt]

yes

but theoretically you would

with perfect multicore support it's about 6X the performance

[steep gust]

on dx11

Ignore the low usage at the start since I was looking for a game

[sour ivy]

8X MORE PERFORMANCE LOL

[valid bolt]

what did you open up in the background while waiting 😂

[steep gust]

The game?

discord

[sour ivy]

lol

[steep gust]

spotify

and origin is open

[sour ivy]

roblox

[steep gust]

just enabled dx12

lets see if it does anything to CPU usage

[sour ivy]

I want 8x performance

omegalul

[steep gust]

threadripper should give 32x performance right guys?

[sour ivy]

YES

[steep gust]

actually 64

32c 64t

[sour ivy]

if we have 4 cores

it should give x9 right

[valid bolt]

yes because thread = core right

lol

[sour ivy]

8*

[steep gust]

Last I knew threadripper is actually worst than a 4c CPU for gaming due to some memory, etc issues

[valid bolt]

it's due to optimization

[sour ivy]

so a threadripper has 4x higher perf than the 8700k?

[steep gust]

I wish

Threadripper performs worse in games than an 8700k

[sour ivy]

yep

[valid bolt]

worse IPC and slower clockspeed

[sour ivy]

true

LOL

well you said threads

if i have more

[valid bolt]

if the games used 16 cores, it would be better

[sour ivy]

I get more performance

[steep gust]

and only 2 dies can access the memory directly

[valid bolt]

I want to laugh some more

can you explain how hyperthreading works

[steep gust]

Dx12

[steep root]

you guys are literally ignoring the gpu factor

[steep gust]

and my fps is lower

• stuttering

[steep root]

dx12 is shit in bfv rn

no use trying to make an excuse for it

[valid bolt]

DX12 relies on the gamedev to optimize everything like I said

[steep gust]

I'm not

I'm proving that BFV supports multicore CPUs

[valid bolt]

you're not getting 100% on all from BFV

literally impossible

[steep gust]

Well

I have spotify

Origin

Discord

and BFV open

[valid bolt]

do you know how a graphics thread works?

[steep gust]

Do you realize that my CPU's only load is BFV?

I just closed BFV

5% usage without it open at around 2ghz

[valid bolt]

there's a single thread that basically tells what the GPU needs to do

and it's a lot heavier than any other CPU operations

[steep gust]

Then what is it doing with the 5 other cores at 100%?

[valid bolt]

something else

not BFV

[steep gust]

Uh huh

Because with the same programs open

but without BFV

Spikes are opening task manager and snipping tool

I can open hardware monitor and take temps / GPU usage if its that big of a deal

But my CPU only gets into the 60-70s and my GPU is similar

[valid bolt]

the temps don't matter

[steep gust]

They do on my GPU

My CPU will never throttle so 🤷

[valid bolt]

throttling will just drop the usage

[white wind]

[steep gust]

throttling reduces the clock speed on it

not the usage

[steep root]

^ he is correct

where tf would it drop the usage

[steep gust]

I mean I can show him my GPU clock speed - temperature graph

[atomic bramble]

Amd sucks

[valid bolt]

ok

[steep gust]

ok but you are wrong

[valid bolt]

would be nice if you could inform us how

@atomic bramble

[atomic bramble]

Well

100% usage for bf5 and somehow 1

Wich means 60fps dropping to 15

Unless playing a pixel counting game

[valid bolt]

and it's AMD's fault?

what CPU do you have?

[atomic bramble]

R3 1300x

Its kinda bad worse than i expected

[valid bolt]

are you on DX12?

turn it off

[atomic bramble]

Ofx not lol

Ofc*

Its bottlenecking my gtx 1060 3gb

[steep gust]

Uh yeah and my 8600k @4.9ghz bottlenecks my 1080

[valid bolt]

a cheap CPU is slow

wow

shouldn't be dropping to 15 though

[atomic bramble]

Ok bye

[steep gust]

can you realize that people can't drop tons of cash on a PC?

[sour ivy]

Lol

Amd doesnt suck

Just because you buy a cheap ass cpu

[valid bolt]

@steep gust yes

[sour ivy]

Doesnt mean the company sucks

[atomic bramble]

Oh really telling me the guy who got a budget cpu that people cant spend a ton of cash

[sour ivy]

It's like buying a pentium and complaining about it

[steep gust]

the 1200-1300 is decent

I feel like he should reduce settings

[valid bolt]

order from germany

[steep gust]

and accept he will play at min settings

[valid bolt]

anyone with half a brain does it in EU

[sour ivy]

Lol

This guy

Hey guys I bought a pentium and I cant run bfv at 60 fps

Intel sucks!

[atomic bramble]

Its

Shut up

[sour ivy]

Lol

[steep gust]

dude just stop

[sour ivy]

Get out of here

[atomic bramble]

Its not the R3

[steep gust]

No reason to be a fucking ass

[sour ivy]

Just leave

[wet notch]

i like fucking ass

[sour ivy]

Same

[atomic bramble]

Threadripper is also a lot worse

[sour ivy]

Lol

You're a smart guy

[atomic bramble]

Compared to intel

[steep gust]

Threadripper isn't a gaming CPU

idiots

[valid bolt]

threadripper also has a slow clockspeed

[wet notch]

be nice to eachother guys

[valid bolt]

"gaming CPUs' isn' a thing

[wet notch]

or women

[atomic bramble]

Ok those morons wont lisen

[steep gust]

Threadripper is built for a few set workloads and if you buy it not for them then its your fault

[valid bolt]

lol again

[sour ivy]

We are listening

We hear that you're mad about buying a cheap cpu

[valid bolt]

CPUs are not made for specific workloads

[steep gust]

Really

Tell me

[sour ivy]

Sorry about your budget cpu

[steep gust]

How does having 4 dies yet only 2 have direct access to memory not limit you to only a few workloads?

oh wait it does

benchmarks clearly prove that one

[sour ivy]

God my head hurts now

[valid bolt]

it's a limitation of the architecture, not a decision they made

it's built to be as best as possible on all workloads

[steep gust]

Now tell me

who made the architecture?

and who made it knowing it would be limited in some areas?

Right

AMD

[valid bolt]

making a compromise in the architecture isn't designing it for certain workloads

[steep gust]

Its limiting it to certain workloads

And they knew when designing the 2990WX that it was only going to excel in a few workloads

[valid bolt]

they didn't design the architecture just for threadripper you know

the architectures are made to be the best overall in all applications

AMD decided that the compromise was the best when considering all usecases

[steep root]

threadripper is bad in gaming and thats it

there is no excuse trying to help it

[valid bolt]

my point was that it's not made to be bad at gaming and good at other stuff

[steep root]

what it lacks in gaming it destroys in produtive workloads

[valid bolt]

I'm not disputing the fact that it's not great at it

[steep gust]

its also bad at quite a few productive workloads

[valid bolt]

ones that aren't optimized for multiple cores, like games

[steep gust]

and anything that prefers clock speed over core count

like most adobe products

[steep root]

Dont know how to cut with paint 3d but how tf dare you say that games use 2 cores?

[steep gust]

How many cores do you have?

[steep root]

80-90% cpu utilization

4 cores 8 threads

6700k

[valid bolt]

the CPU usage counter can got to 100% from a single core

[steep gust]

yeah so only using 2c would be like 30-50% usage

[steep root]

not the way I set it

[valid bolt]

doesn't work like that

[steep gust]

You can set it to be off of total workload boyo

which means every core

[steep root]

^

[valid bolt]

afterburner?

[steep root]

yes

[valid bolt]

doesn't say it's the total workload anywhere though

[steep root]

all cores bro

[valid bolt]

I'm fully sure BFV isn't using 4 cores to 100%

or close

@steep root you've just got all cores visible in the graphs

• CPU usage in the OSD

[steep root]

yes

that what the cpu usage was

[valid bolt]

and the CPU usage can max out from a single core

[steep root]

80-90% utilization

[steep gust]

I literally

[steep root]

it cant bro

[steep gust]

took a screenshot

of task manager

with BFV

stressing 6 cores to 100%

[flint locust]

can you not @steep root

[steep root]

im sorry

it got deleted before even it sent

[valid bolt]

task manager isn't the most accurate either

but this is going nowhere

so

[steep root]

will be more carefull

[steep gust]

task manager is pretty accurate when BFV is the only program stressing anything

[valid bolt]

either BFV is the best optimized game in existence, or it's not using 6 cores at 100%

[flint locust]

yes because there is a word filter @steep root so don't test it... thanks

[steep gust]

git gud

its slightly better than BFV's

[steep root]

just gibe me one minute bro

[steep root]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ-cHq6b_pY

[real bramble]

how did you go 60-5 with movement like this 🤔

[steep root]

I went 97-12 in one too

I was literally only running around in this clip

[real bramble]

It looks like you're playing with a controller

are you?

[steep root]

I tried to make it look like those cinematic videos

to again

""benchmark""

[real bramble]

back on that topic, i can confirm those cpu uti numbers. i'm running the same CPU oc'd to 4.6ghz and 3200mhz raam

cpu usually within 80-95%

i run it with a 1080ti

[steep root]

same setup basically then

[real bramble]

Yea, works like a charm

[steep gust]

I mean

the drop at the start is from the main menu

Second I got in game it shot to 100% CPU usage across all 6 cores

[ripe inlet]

Critical death, revived, ran around for about 3 seconds and went to respawn screen where I had a permanent 9 second wait. Now showing bleed out screen with no change in status.

[steep root]

can you redeploy?

[keen pewter]

@ripe inlet You character is still alive with that nine second wait

Happens sometimes when the game counts you as dead but reviveable

[sour ivy]

720p ew

[steep root]

I mean

for some reason youtube got it to 720p

if you are not blind you can see the res I play on

[sour ivy]

ik

it just looks like noob

[steep root]

whatchu expected tho

everyone is a noob in your eyes I bet

[olive hazel]

is anyone else having problems loading up BFv Open

farthest I've gotten was main menu

then crash

pc btw

GPU: Rx-470 4gb and Fx-8350

16gb ram

[prime jasper]

my game right now : 100% res scale --> 45-55 fps 25% res scale -->46-56 fps

even oc'ed my cpu to 3.8hz

[sour ivy]

@prime jasper what is your cpu

[prime jasper]

r5 1600

six cores

i just saw a vid for someone who has the exact same cpu but not even oc'ed and gtx 1060 3gb (i have 6gb) and still get better performance than me

[prime jasper]

hey, how would I be able to force BFV to run 1080p through advanced launch options

my laptop is wonky and won't let me run BFV at 1080p. Only 4K.

It might be because I have a dell laptop and the graphics drivers are still out of date xd

I even disabled nvapi64.dll to get BFV to run

[lofty light]

Do you have a Dell XPS 15?

[prime jasper]

Dell G5 15 5587

with an i7 instead of an i5

[lofty light]

Ah, niiice

[prime jasper]

GTX 1060 Max-Q

got it from my uni for 300 bucks cheaper than what dell has it for too

the dell drivers are the only gripe I have for it

otherwise this is a replacement for my desktop rig

had an i7-3770K with an RX 480

[lofty light]

You should definitely be able to change the resolution but I think it's not in the advanced section. Just the normal one?

[prime jasper]

I couldn't

it only gave me two graphics options in-game

[lofty light]

I just chuck my own drivers on my Dell tbh

[prime jasper]

4K at 60Hz

and 4K at 48Hz

[lofty light]

Lol

Well that's crap

[prime jasper]

so I gotta do something in advanced launch options to force the game to render at 1080p

I litterally get a slideshow while playing

[real bramble]

if bf doesnt have the option for 1080p maybe you have to add it manually to supported resolutions within windows/driver

[prime jasper]

I have no idea how to do that...

Isn't there a way to force a render resolution within advanced launch options in origin?

[fading tundra]

i'm not the only one that crashes sometimes on trying to load , or after round ends with a DX error right?

[real bramble]

• to that

happens to me randomly aswell

[rose eagle]

50-60fps ftl

ugh god down to 30

15fps sitting in the options menu aint right lol

[prime jasper]

bro what the fuck ?

[prime jasper]

well its beta

[wet notch]

@fading tundra i get the dx error too alot, i think im gonna try turning off dx12 and see if it helps

[rotund pendant]

!cheap144hzmonitor

[prime jasper]

is it safe to use gameboost in the bios ?

it says +200MHz

[crude storm]

nnnnnnoooooooooooooooooo, cant play with my quadro p4000 because of the nvidia driver requiermentr

[sour ivy]

What!!!??? Dont you have a 3770k @rose eagle

@prime jasper Ram?

[prime jasper]

16gb

[obtuse yew]

@prime jasper you managed to improve performance from yesterday?

[prime jasper]

nope

;v

its very odd

even at 25% resolution

same exact fps

[obtuse yew]

guess we'll just have to wait to full release to see if they do any further optimization

[prime jasper]

i hope so

im just afraid to regret pre ordering the game

i even tried reinstalling windows

xd

[obtuse yew]

damn xD

[prime jasper]

yeah im screwed

but seems like im not the only one

hopefully they fix that

[obtuse yew]

it's definitely playable for me, I just don't want to drop below 60 in an fps game ideally

[prime jasper]

same

[peak coral]

Any recommendations on a cheap 100ft ethernet cable?

[buoyant igloo]

Anyone know the IP address for the UAE servers?

[peak coral]

no

i

don't

know

[rose eagle]

@sour ivy yes but it's nowhere near being fully used, 970gtx

Our settings are forced max for beta or what

[slate wave]

getting 45-50 fps on a 1070, 3440x1440 resolution just does not work well with a 1070

[prime jasper]

cough

[obtuse yew]

i mean that's 2k, kinda makes sense ;o

[rose eagle]

I should be able to adjust the settings to get 60fps lower 1% at least or the game engine is really overkill this time around

Turn off the fluff!

[sour ivy]

That's odd @prime jasper

You should be getting 60 with occasional drops into the 50s

[prime jasper]

on which graphic preset ?

@sour ivy

[sour ivy]

Hmmmmmm 1060 3gb

I get 60 with occasional drops on a 1060 GB and 2600x

Maybe medium-high

I have some stuff set to low

And stuff like mesh set to ultra

So I'd try that

Make sure motion blur is off

And that dx12 is off

[rose eagle]

where the hell is it letting you click settings

i swear that advanced button wasnt there yesterday 😄

[limber dawn]

Has anyone had problems joining squads and being put from one squad to another?

[sour ivy]

Damn

Not sure then

[sour ivy]

Where

[wet notch]

in the key bindings menu

it will return to default settings in the game though

[sour ivy]

For windows?

Not talking about battlefield

[wet notch]

oh, you meant in windows?

[sour ivy]

In general

Like when I press enter it clicks

[wet notch]

maybe you pressed fn+enter or something before?

is it a laptop or desktop?

How do I actually go about using that

[lusty wharf]

Am facing same issue (on xbox). Unlocked MG's for 109 but still only have access to normal weapon.

[ripe flax]

Guys sorry for bothering but is there a place here for troubleshooting PC errors?

It's driving me crazy. it happens everytime I play, at random times

[fading tundra]

@ripe flax did you turn on DX12 in graphics options >advanced

because that's what i did, and i got that ALL the time

[ripe flax]

no using DX11

[fading tundra]

just double check and make sure it wasn't mistakenly enabled

[ripe flax]

I'm sure about it. DX12 is not even playable with the stutters

[fading tundra]

(in the BF5 in-game graphics options, just for clarity) ok

[rigid vector]

Got revived same time as critical life message and now i cant respawn

[wet notch]

i got that error untill i turned off dx12 and restarted the game

[prime jasper]

Anyone familiar with this? https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1069467/geforce-drivers/official-399-07-game-ready-whql-display-driver-feedback-thread-released-8-27-18-/
