[turbid verge]

I mean we aren't really a tech support. normally if you're having issues with performance on games from EA, you should contact the EA support https://help.ea.com

[prime jasper]

Thz optimisation of game are not good okok i thing its because some update of game freezing my

Thanks

[real bramble]

Steve just posted this on his youtube, might be helpful for some in here since we had heated discussions about CPUs last few days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAsyo8gIyys

that wasn't for your issue

was just a general thing lol

why do you keep deleting your chatlog

[ocean valve]

What's your [dice] tag for ? @shrewd fulcrum

[shrewd fulcrum]

for my name @ocean valve

[ripe flax]

Guys it there a solution for this?
DX11 - Game runs at a smooth 60FPS but I get this crash at random times

[limber burrow]

Hi ! Cant connect the game

[agile rain]

So I am writing points for a video on Nvidia RTX and why it might end up DOA

[real bramble]

Oh man, if you need more input i could go on on that topic for days

[agile rain]

I have a google doc with all my talking points

[real bramble]

been rather vocal on the nvidia subreddit and overclocking forums about that already

nice

[agile rain]

My biggest argument will be the limited adoption due to dev time needed and that the mainstream wont have these RTX cards, plus the 2060 wont even be a RTX card which is what most gamers buy for 1080P 60 gaming

And the cost is high on both $$ and frames

With ray tracing, you will be playing games like BFV at 1080P just to keep 60

Even on 2080ti

[strange bough]

I agree, it's still early days. But Ray Tracing will advance, as well as the hardware needed to get proper resolution and fps. Game Engines will start adopting the technology, making it a "one button solution", bringing the cost for developers lower. I personally wouldn't buy an RTX this year. There will be 2-3 games that will take advantage of the technology in a good way, and after 1 year, there will be a new RTX for the same price or even cheaper.

[steady wasp]

oh god, there are cheaters in game already

[agile rain]

@steady wasp RIP

[steady wasp]

how fast are these people really? 😐

we're 2nd day in and already seeing this infection

[agile rain]

Some people like to see the world burn

[obtuse yew]

if you're getting killed through walls don't forget bullet penetration is a thing

[real bramble]

It's great isn't it :D

brings back 1.6 memories

I basically play de_nuke on narvik B point

[charred basin]

I am literally unable to join any games in the advanced search

it has been like this since yesterday, all my ports are forwarded (my PC is in DMZ on my router)

UPnP enabled, everything with every other game is fine except for bf v...

[real bramble]

@charred basin Have you tried switching your DNS and/or clearing your DNS Cache yet?

[crude storm]

boy this game is a mess

[fast sedge]

WTF WHY

[charred basin]

@real bramble what DNS are you using? google's or 1111 ?

[real bramble]

cloudflare

[charred basin]

yeah that's 1111

same as me, configured for ipv4 and v6

tried releasing, renewing, nothing... what the fuck is wrong

[eager rose]

wat speed do you have?

[charred basin]

good enough for literally any other game

[strange bough]

@charred basin I had this problem, cleared my DNS, restarted Origin and Battlefield a couple of times and it worked again

[obtuse yew]

i can 't join my friends squad AGAIN

nice..

[sour ivy]

That's not a tech problem, this is an open beta

[dapper hemlock]

I'm having a problem where I pre ordered bfv and downloaded the open beta, but I can't play it.

[agile rain]

@real bramble After I think about 3 - 4 hours of editing, the video is done and will most likely go up Monday since I already have a video going up today

[real bramble]

👌

[white wind]

I'm experiencing low 60s to high 70s fps wise with everything maxed out at 1080p

This game really pushes a lot of hardware

[charred basin]

what gpu?

[charred basin]

also I still can't play this fucking game

I tried everything, sometimes it works, 90% of the time it doesn't

[tawny plank]

Anyone know a good studio mic?

[quartz canopy]

I have a Blue Yeti Pro

Or I use my Astro A40 TRs for a headset/mic

[tawny plank]

is the cable of that yeti pro detachable?

[quartz canopy]

It's via USB

[tawny plank]

Nice. Does it pick up your keystrokes tho?

[quartz canopy]

Yeah, but you can adjust the settings, and get a shock mount for it

I'll show you mine, one sec

[tawny plank]

I see, nice

https://www.bol.com/nl/s/algemeen/zoekresultaten/Ntt/blue%2Byeti/N/0/Nty/1/search/true/searchType/qck/defaultSearchContext/media_all/sc/media_all/index.html

these ones?

[quartz canopy]

Yeah

It's better to get an arm stand for it as well, it'll pick up all kinds of noises if you just set it on your desk

especially while you're typing

[autumn vigil]

The Samson Meteorite is pretty good

It's a standing microphone but you can get a stand for it

[tawny plank]

which mount do you have? or is it universal?

[quartz canopy]

I have a Rode Microphone stand

This one: http://www.rode.com/accessories/psa1

Works really well, and just clamps on the desk

@tawny plank

But if you're looking for a gaming headset, I use this one: https://www.astrogaming.com/headsets/A40-MIXAMP-TR.html

[tawny plank]

looks dope

Choices are killing me. Thanks tho

[quartz canopy]

Haha

You're welcome. Either one works really well, imo.

Just depends on the route you wanna take

[tawny plank]

What's the amp for with the a40?

found a50's for 150 without that brick

[quartz canopy]

You can customize all the settings, and have different presets

A50's are nice too, I had those

Only thing I didn't really like about them is the battery life

[tawny plank]

too short?

[quartz canopy]

Yeah, I think only a few hours or so.

[tawny plank]

oh boy

[quartz canopy]

Yeah. They came out with new models though, so it could be better.

I had an older version

and decided to switch to the A40 TRs instead

[tawny plank]

why did you get both that and a mic?

[quartz canopy]

Used to stream, and used the blue yeti

It's clearer than using a headset mic

[tawny plank]

Alright, mic it is then

I had 2, albeit cheap, headsets in the past and they felt like they'd squeeze my head

[quartz canopy]

Yeah, I've had that before 😄

Astro's are comfortable. I've heard Sennheiser's are worth it too

[tawny plank]

Yeah those non-gaming headphones are awesome

I got audio technica something something. Really dope

no mic tho 😒

[charred basin]

I was so eager to play this game this weekend...

[quartz canopy]

I've heard those are pretty good too

[charred basin]

fuck me I am so sad I can't

fucking connectivity

[quartz canopy]

care to explain? instead of getting worked up about it?

[charred basin]

scroll up?

tried everything I can think of, my PC's ports are all open (DMZ), I've checked, NAT is unrestricted, etc

[quartz canopy]

There's these steps, some of which you tried are in there https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/

[charred basin]

lmaaao

do you really think I've not tried to troubleshoot by that guide?

[quartz canopy]

Then not sure what's going on, on your end.

[charred basin]

me neither, buddy

I am completely baffled by this

[quartz canopy]

I haven't had any issues connecting, and get around the same speed you do, maybe a bit more.

[prime jasper]

@quartz canopy If i were in need of a new headset (Got Qpad QH90, what a master piece it is) I would go for these, Beyerdynamic Custom One http://tinyurl.com/y7ohxz63

[quartz canopy]

Those look pretty nice as well

[prime jasper]

And whats really cool is that they have physical Acoustic bass control

[quartz canopy]

I saw that

[charred basin]

na I fucking give up

lol

apparently trying to join games that put me in a queue before loading the map works...

wtf

I never tried that because why would I

but I just tried 3 and all worked? let's just hope this is a workaround

[pastel tundra]

im getting the same thing

tried everything

[charred basin]

oh my god we had 20 tickets left to win the match

literally 30 seconds

and

[hard blaze]

what do these mean? I get them constantly when playing the Beta

[strong breach]

Upper one is variating ping

Bottom one os low framerate

Yellow is minor

Red is severe

[pastel tundra]

are the connection issues EA related or personal

[hard blaze]

cheers. take it this isn't happening to everyone then? Never had this problem with previous battlefields

[strong breach]

Both of those icons are only for client side

Server stress has its own icon

[hard blaze]

actually the framerate is my fault. still using a GTX660

done me ok up till now but probably need to repalce

[obtuse yew]

i like how this beta gradually gets worse

instead of gradually better like other betas lmao

day 1 everything was fine

[deft arch]

If you could upgrade either the FX 8320e or the 380x 4GB, which one would you?

[queen field]

the 8320 of course

[deft arch]

I figured, since it's the more expensive one to swap out -,- just getting a better GPU wouldnt help much probably since the CPU is the bottleneck right?

[queen field]

yeahh

possible that the 8320 dips your fps to sub 50's at times

60's*

[deft arch]

yeah whenever im in the open around much action it dips hard, indoors etc its fine with around 60

[queen field]

inb4 its all the time. My 4770k @ 4.3ghz hits 60~70% load on average already, no idea how it's gonna be for your 8320

ohh damm

could it be GPU?

i know one thing for sure, my 280x won't cut it anymore

1080p @ minimum settings, explosions now dips my fps & same goes to moving around at open wide spaces

[deft arch]

yeah pretty much the same here

[queen field]

VRAM is another issue too, glad bf v has a built in VRAM limiter, otherwise i'll be in for more test runs, prolly running bf5 at medium textures for muddy gloriousness instead of high textures haha

[pastel tundra]

is there any way to fix this?

i can't connect to any game

or that

[queen field]

similar issue, but i presume it's my wifi connection for the time being. Sitting at around -60dbm-ish is ehhh

[pastel tundra]

i'm not using wifi

internet is fine

40ms to chicago servers

[true kiln]

I did not even expect the game to be playable as I have less that minimum requirements

[charred basin]

@pastel tundra

I had the same issue

just join servers that have [number] on them

so that they've got a queue

[true kiln]

and it seems my 1100T is the bottleneck

[charred basin]

then bottom of the screen will tell you in queue position and it will 100% work if it tells you that

[pastel tundra]

i'll try that

im in queue 3

[charred basin]

is this the max setting?

[pastel tundra]

@charred basin didn't work

rip

[charred basin]

shit :/

[pastel tundra]

nothing online about this issue either

[crude storm]

1h to finally join with friends to play together and then i cant deploy

[charred basin]

inb4 all these issues will make it in the final build of the game

[crude storm]

@charred basin like always dice / ea

[charred basin]

I had similar connectivity issues with bf1 all the time lol

[crude storm]

its like dice releases its first game

[charred basin]

yeah every game

[pastel tundra]

@charred basin turning DMZ on fixed everything for me

[charred basin]

I already have it on

and always had

[lucid cedar]

A common occurrence

If anyone is having an issue with stuttering even with a good rig,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k5wipJmMcg

[steep gust]

@charred basin yes but it turns on vsync

@deft arch You are going to want to upgrade everything eventually

FX is old, dead, and never really worth it.

BFV is a CPU driven game

[crude storm]

@steep gust hard words 😄

[charred basin]

@steep gust I have a 144hz gsync monitor

so naturally I'd want that turned on anyways

with those auto ultra settings I run it 90-110fps just fine

imo BF games have always been amazingly well optimized graphically

[prime jasper]

gsync can cause issues with performance, just keep that in mind

[charred basin]

what kind of performance problems?

[prime jasper]

ranges from screen tearing, lost frames and a few other things. The most common is input lag

[charred basin]

I'm picky about input lag and immediately notice it and I can't say I ever did

no difference between PUBG gsynced input latency and BFV gsynced

and pubg I play competitively

[prime jasper]

I doubt you's notice 5-10ms

[charred basin]

lmao that's a lot

I notice 2-3ms, could notice it on my old monitor

[prime jasper]

Then you have super human reaction times that beat everyone elses by 100ms

[charred basin]

😎

[prime jasper]

everyone else as in the fastest in the world

[charred basin]

yes, now you know who I am

[prime jasper]

average is 300-400ms, pro gamers are around 200ish

then your reaction time would be around 10 ms

[charred basin]

yes but you were talking about difference

[wet notch]

thats false

[charred basin]

and also what the fuck, 3-400ms is 3-4seconds isn't it

[prime jasper]

no

1000ms is 1 second

[charred basin]

0.3-0.4s is still a lot of fucking lag

[prime jasper]

@wet notch I'll pm you some links that actually disprove that

[wet notch]

heck, even i tested myself when i was younger and i had 180-220ms reaction time

[prime jasper]

this is neurology research documents

[wet notch]

maybe those neurologists should actually test ppl that game then 😃

[prime jasper]

Fastest reaction speed in the world is 100ms

this was done on a pro CSGO player

[wet notch]

100ms?

[prime jasper]

yes

seriously

[strong breach]

https://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/

Have fun

[wet notch]

thats not surprising, but ppl underestimate the brain and the body working together

[prime jasper]

Not when it actually has to do with physics

[steep root]

not surprising

Hmmmmm

That a fraction of a second

[wet notch]

i dont disagree with average ppl having 30-40ms reaction time, but playing FPS games, especially games like CS or quake will definately help out

[prime jasper]

30-40ms is faster than it takes for the electrical signals to hit the neurons in your brain

[steep root]

I was going to say that it was impossible

But pht said it better

Put 1 zero there and its probably correct

300-400 ms are still pretty good

[wet notch]

oh wait, i forgot a zero 😄

but you are still incorrect

[steep root]

100% focused on trying my hardest

[wet notch]

there is no way FPS pros only have like 200-250ms reaction time

im 38 years old and has average reaction time at best

i tried that test and got 202ms

[steep root]

avarage is 250 for visual stimulus

you are above avg

[strong breach]

it's a lot more than just reaction speed to be a pro

[wet notch]

yeah it is, but when it comes to shooter games, actual pros that live off it

[steep root]

^

[wet notch]

nowadays they are very twitchy

[steep root]

still has so much more than only reaction speed

n0thing already said on stream that his reaction speed is lower than average

[strong breach]

Being twitchy is more about muscle memory

than reaction speed

pro's know exactly where to move the mouse to aim somewhere

[wet notch]

so the testing is flawed then

[strong breach]

reaction speed might be the same as just an average joe

there's really no training reaction speed

everyone reacts to things happening on the screen usually as fast as an individual can

[wet notch]

i agree, but we're talking about something very specific here,

someone see's something on screen, reacts to it and clicks

[steep root]

in that case yes

but its not like 50ms will make any difference in real life

and that test is on a red to green square

not on a brownish to gray situation

where someone peeked you

[prime jasper]

now only if I could tell what the difference between green or red were easier

[steep root]

can you rephrase that @prime jasper ?

[prime jasper]

I cant see the colors red or green very easily

[steep root]

oh no

[charred basin]

😢

how do you know which is squad which is enemy

😢

[prime jasper]

I dont

[steep root]

color blind mode

right?

[charred basin]

just shoot everything that moves 💔

[wet notch]

cant you just switch the colors out?

[prime jasper]

Color blind mode only helps in bf1

it doesnt help in bf5

[wet notch]

i mean BFV had a bunch of options

more so than BF1 i think

[steep root]

I wouldnt know tho

most people seen to use color blind mode just for more contrast

[prime jasper]

So I went from doing 3.0 on average in bf1, to going 1-30 on average in bf5

because the color blind mode doesnt do anything

cant kill an enemy if you cant see them

[steep root]

Oof

[wet notch]

so its the models themselves?

[prime jasper]

yes

it's the same in bf1, but bf1 has doritoes

[wet notch]

that makes sense :/

[prime jasper]

So Im done fucked out of the series like most color blind people

which sucks

[wet notch]

what about those color blind glasses

the shades or whatever

[prime jasper]

Doesnt help

[wet notch]

you'd love quake live or something then

[strong breach]

im almost 100% certain colorblind mode will be an option in the main game

[wet notch]

cuz there you can change enemy color on the actual models to whatever u want

[steep root]

There are colorblind options arent they?

[wet notch]

pink, green, blue, brown etc

[prime jasper]

the issue isnt the nameplates, its the actual models

[strong breach]

i don't know if there is

haven't used

[steep root]

Shoot everything that moves

[obtuse yew]

yikes

[real bramble]

F

[steep root]

Still good tho

[obtuse yew]

i guess it's ok
would probs improve once i get my 144hz monitor

[steep root]

You can se your % from the rest of people that took it

[prime jasper]

Even on low settings in Battlefield V, my GPU uses only 60% and seems to get bottlenecked by the CPU. I got a 970 and i5-4460

Really frustrating

well it is a 4th gen i5

its starting to be come a bit old

Imma better buy an i9 so my system doesn't get outdated already after some years

But seriously though. I've set everything off/to lowest and still it runs like dog shit. 50 fps with a 970 and i5-4460

[real bramble]

i mean

6600k is min. requirement

can't expect to run latest tripple A titles on a 5 year old rig that was midrange at that time aswell

[prime jasper]

If I want to go for AMD as CPU, which is not the best option, I need to wait. If I wait, that CPU is their last AM4 socket (cause 3 years on 1 socket). Not going to buy a CPU that I cannot upgrade.

It's just fucking weird that my GPU load is on 60%, the fuck. Makes me think I'm on a fucking first generation CPU.

But since when did requirements take such a big step? Maybe it's optimization as well. Like.... a few years ago, 8GB was recommended, now it's 16 and soon it'll 32..

[real bramble]

4c/4t doesnt cut it and it will get worse as time goes by

watch latest hardware unboxed cpu bf5 benchmark video

then you'll see

[prime jasper]

Midrange? Years ago, it was good to have an i5. An i7 is mostly only used for video editing because of the extra threads. But since the 8000 series that's not really the case anymore

[real bramble]

Yes it was midrange

[prime jasper]

I have seen, but which one do you mean?

[real bramble]

theres only one cpu benchmark bf5 video from steve

one sec

got narvik atm anyway so 💩

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAsyo8gIyys

there u go

[prime jasper]

Thanks man

[real bramble]

np. honestly this is what gamers have been asking for years that games finally make use of more then 4 threads

its a good change

[prime jasper]

Yeah exactly. But my problem lays here at the moment, while I do want to upgrade:

https://discordapp.com/channels/140933721929940992/422598689928773632/488312615815348224

[real bramble]

i cant click whatever that is

doesnt do anything for me

[prime jasper]

"If I want to go for AMD as CPU, which is not the best option, I need to wait. If I wait, that CPU is their last AM4 socket (cause 3 years on 1 socket). Not going to buy a CPU that I cannot upgrade."

Also, if I buy a 6-core CPU now, like a 8400, 9400 or Ryzen 2600, it'll be outdated in 2 years because games will use 8 cores... :|

[real bramble]

I mean with a i5 4460 you don't really seem like the type of guy that upgrades his CPU on the same platform every year or so

But your argument is valid however

1151 socket is pretty much dead at this point

9900k will most likely be the last iteration on that 14nm platform

[prime jasper]

1151? The 4460 isn't 1151 but 1150

[real bramble]

yes i am aware

i am speaking about new purchase options

[prime jasper]

Oh okay sorry

Hmm, I'm thinking about 144Hz 1080p gaming as well if I want to upgrade. Is an i7 still a must then?

But hmm, the 8400 scores better than 8700K in benchmarks

[real bramble]

Not a must, but Frostbite engine makes great use of more threads now and so are starting other engines. i game at 1080p 144hz and just recently made the upgrade from a 6600k to a 6700k

[real bramble]

and that money was well spent, my 1% lows increased quite significantly nd my max pushes aswell. But i run 1080ti and high mhz ram so my gpu was starving

[prime jasper]

I see

[real bramble]

Let's say this, if you're a gamer through and through that does edit a occasional youtube video every month or so, go intel

If you do lots of rendering and other cpu heavy work and game on the side, go AMD

[prime jasper]

Yeah I know, but at the moment I just play a lot of F1 and Battlefield 4 sometimes

Unless you use adobe premier, then use intel

Just sometimes VMs, but not much

because premier still has issues with ryzen

[real bramble]

more like premiere is making use of the igpu on intel based systems to increase render performance

if you have latest patch

but regardeless

Check what your budged is, see your usecase and then just go for it

[prime jasper]

Anyway, I'm also talking with some other people. Guy says it's better to upgrade in 2019

[real bramble]

I mean, you can always wait for the next big thing

2019 will be the year of 7nm

[prime jasper]

I don't really have a budget, but I'm not willing to spend thousands of euros just for gaming

Yeah

[real bramble]

So that's gonna be a big step hopefully

[prime jasper]

So I think it's pretty 'nonsense' to upgrade now instead of waiting. Heard that Navi (or was it Ryzen 3) is still coming this year

[real bramble]

Navi is AMDs upcomming GPU architecture

And Ryzen 2 will be the new AMD CPU Lineup based on 7nm

Ryzen, Ryzen+, Ryzen2

actually

[prime jasper]

Oh yeah okay, if you count it like that :P

I meant the third iteration

[real bramble]

might be wrong hang on, checking

Yea you're right about namingscheme

but ye, i know what you meant :D

[prime jasper]

I'm in such a difficult position. I'm starting to hate Nvidia because of their dominant position (asking any price they want, forcing people to have an account on Experience and other shitty, nasty moves). Makes me want to move to AMD for the GPU, but Nvidia is still leading with performance. Hope that Navi significantly changes this.

For CPU, I think it's good for me to upgrade to Intel, still. Unless Ryzen2 will be really good. Cause like you said: I'm not really that guy that upgrades every 2 years, so that means I need to switch socket anyway when I want to upgrade.

What do you think?

[real bramble]

A lot depends on your budget really. Navi i don't have high hopes honestly. It's gonna be more perf/watt efficient but will be basically a Vega with higherclocks and less wattage, so not super competitive from a performance standpoint.

And Nvidia, well. Pascal is still a very good performer even with RTX gpus on the Horizon

I can recommend buying used GPUs no problem to safe a buck or two

I bought my 1080ti just 3 weeks ago for 540€

used, 1 1/2 years warranty left.

[prime jasper]

Yeah so I can go for a secondhand GPU and new CPU you mean?

Yeah, warranty will be a thing though

Woah, seeing a Inno3D 1080Ti for 540 euros

It's 12 months old 🤔

Hope it wasn't used for mining

[real bramble]

Like i said, depends on your budget really. I swap out GPU and CPUs around a lot throughout the year and buy a lot of parts used, never had issues if you buy with warranty and trusted sources.

You'll most likely looking at a completely full buy aka no parts able to reuse from your old rig.
So personally i'd buy everything new just to have that peace in mind

And don't cheap out on the RAM. mhz speed matters these days

;)

[prime jasper]

I don't really have a budget like I said. I just want the best price/performance and I'm not willing to spend thousands of euros just for a bit of 1080p gaming (probably at 144Hz though) :p.

Yeah I know. I've seen that video of Linus a while ago. Saw that (at that time) 2666MHz was the best way to go, unless you want a few fps more.

[real bramble]

should be 3000/3200mhz these days for sure

[prime jasper]

Lol, any recent benchmarks?

What's next? 64GB, 24-core and 4000MHz RAM for 1080p gaming?

[real bramble]

Well it scales up to 3600mhz basically. but most decent ram these days is 3000/3200mhz anyway and one step cheaper is like 5€ difference for a 400mhz drop.

So why not just spent 5€ more ya know

[prime jasper]

Yeah

How much more fps will it have?

[real bramble]

Different for each game. Here are some Benchmark from a Year ago for each Platform.

Ryzen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4k_ErEg-FU

Intel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjFu-onLA68

[prime jasper]

But first, do you think in 2019 I should go for AMD or Intel? I know you don't have a special magic ball, but then I know which video to watch :p

Cause I can go secondhand yeah for the GPU, but CPU-wise it's going to be a question

[real bramble]

Ryzen

Intel

So you dont have to watch all that stuff if ur not interested

Alright so if i were you

and i don't have 2k € on hand to buy a new rig

And you're not the type of guy that updates regulary his gpu every 2 and CPU every 3 years.

Then you'd be either looking at a Ryzen platform, preferably the upcomming 7nm CPUs in Q1 2019, and a used 1080/1080ti at that point

Or if you wanna spend a bit more money, wait till october and buy the new 9xxx series from intel

and buy a 1080/1080ti used

and then upgrade that once nvidia releases 7nm for the masses

Both options however require budget at around 1200+€ i'd say, roughly.

I wouldn't go lower then that considering your upgrade cycle is rather long it seems like

[agile rain]

I have R5 1600 & a GTX 1060 6gb 👀

[charred basin]

oh man all this talk here 😩

[prime jasper]

@real bramble Thanks for your reply. Do you think a Ryzen2 would be enough for 1080p 144Hz? Cause the IPC of Intel is still leading though

Upgrade to the 3000 series you mean? Man, that'd be 800 euros for a 3060 :P

[real bramble]

Depends reallly. if you wanna push on a 144hz screen with 1080p intel def. the better choice

[prime jasper]

I see

[prime jasper]

Do you think an Intel + secondhand 1080Ti would run 144Hz pretty well? My friend has that setup, but I think I need to upgrade pretty quickly again then, after 1 or 2 years

[real bramble]

I have the same setup aswell, works great.

6700k + 1080ti

[steep gust]

You can run Rzyen2 at 1080p 144hz

Intel does edge it out depending on the game but its generally 1-10fps

I don't Rzyen 3 will beat Intel in single core performance, so Intel will be always be best for max fps

[prime jasper]

But for 144Hz I don't think it matters much, does it? Damn, G-Sync monitors are so much more expensive than FreeSync :|

[prime jasper]

my pc have 2gb ram nvida icore 7 and 8gb ram but i am raming in your battlefield 5 gys

i will not buy the game if you not optimize thegame please

[granite kestrel]

2gb ram or 8gb ram

CPU

GPU?

[obtuse yew]

my head hurt reading that

maybe 2gb vram and 8gb ram, still no idea what gpu though lol

[real bramble]

my bet is on a gtx760

or 670

Could also be a Toaster with a 2gb ram stick slapped onto it

[sage pollen]

anyone else having major troubles joining your friends or queueing together in the open beta?

pc origin

[prime jasper]

@sage pollen its better to find directly white serveur broswing

[sage pollen]

Ok, but we are having problems even joining squads in the main meny

menu

not showing any squads when we join a friends squad

in the bottom right corner

[queen field]

wot, that 14GB/s of memory bandwidth

[charred basin]

I've got the 7700k and stock 1080

144hz gsync monitor and everything set automatically to max

90-110 fps, drops when there's a ton of shit going on but to 70 max

so imo the game is pretty well optimized graphically

[prime jasper]

I have an 8700k and 1080ti, I play on low. The game isnt very stable right now, I get lows of 20 a lot

[real bramble]

must be a bug on your end

lowest ive gone is 150fps

and i play on low aswell

maybe u had something running in the background?

[prime jasper]

nope nothing

my game also crashes a ton

did a fresh install

still crashes after about 5 minutes in

[prime jasper]

halp.
game lags and i dunno why.
My Specs:
Intel Core i5-4460 CPU @ 3/20GHz
10,0GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 1060 6GB

i play on low aswell.

[crude storm]

cpu will not be enough

[queen field]

there's more to that

ah nevermind my previous text, was supposed to be a reply to a older text

[prime jasper]

kk.

[queen field]

@prime jasper if you can get a new CPU, do get an 4770/4790

[crude storm]

@prime jasper get an i7

[queen field]

this game hammers my 4770k, which is already clocked at 4.3ghz. I get on average of 70%~80% cpu load

wouldn't be surprised to see your 4460 getting pegged at 100% load at all times while the game runs

[crude storm]

cheapest upgrade is the 4770 / k

[prime jasper]

lad its fuckin 20:27 and im searching for a new PC..the fuck am i doing with my life ?

[crude storm]

its sunday

[prime jasper]

yeah.

and the next day i have skool.

lad the cheapest intel core i7 is this:

Intel® Core™ i7-8700 Coffee Lake, 3.2GHz, 12MB

[crude storm]

@prime jasper i thought fitting on your current mainboard

get an used i7

[queen field]

no you can't use an 8700 into ur current motherboard

unless you happen to have some ddr4 ram & a lga1151 (skylake/kabylake coffeelake)

do take note! Despite the fact that all three Skylake, Kabylake & Coffelake CPU's uses the same socket number, the Coffelake CPU's cannot use motherboards for Skylake & Kabylake CPU's! Likewise for the opposite

[real bramble]

you can use skylake and kabylake on z370 platform

[prime jasper]

@sage pollen The first and most important thing to do is checking that everyone is online in the ORIGIN clients chat, if it says "Offline" youre gonna have a bad time.

[queen flume]

Lmao you're gonna have a bad time

[sour ivy]

You'd also need a good cooler for an 8700

Those babies run hot

Oh and new ram xd

[prime jasper]

I got a Ryzen, 8700k is better for gaming, but I do a lot of multi-tasking etc. so this Ryzen is a beauty

[steep gust]

@queen field my 8600k @4.9ghz gets slammed to 100% across all 6 cores

It's a CPU driven game

@real bramble You can it's just not recommended

Does it have to do with hardware?

And use the bug report where ever it is

Possibly but you first have to tell us

Yeah that doesn't have to do with hardware

That has to do with the filter on chat

Use the feedback tool

Do you realize we don't care?

I haven't

This channel has to do with PC tech not a place to complain about chat filters

Titanfall 2 was an amazing game that was killed by a bad release date, but ok.

Try to use the channel for it's intended purpose. I'm sure if you want to complain about a chat filter you'll be well received in a different server

[strong breach]

what's up with the toxicity

[steep gust]

He's done nothing but be a bad troll

bai

[real bramble]

[steep gust]

I wonder if I could squeeze out some free frames by going to 5.0ghz

But I like my 4.9ghz at 1v that is technically 1.22v due to turbo

[real bramble]

"turbo" beeing LLC kicking in to keep your cpu stable under vdrop

regardeless, that's quite good voltage for 4.9ghz

👌

[sour ivy]

I use 4v

[worldly agate]

So i can run BFV on all ultra with 70+ fps but BF1 runs like 30-40 on mid settings. How can i fix BF1?

[sour ivy]

Turn HDR and motion blur off

What's your gpu

[worldly agate]

MSI 1060 Gaming X 6GB

they are off

[sour ivy]

Make sure dx12 is off

On bf1

[worldly agate]

i remember at launch i had like 90+ frames on ultra

but a few updates later it's now unplayble

[sour ivy]

Is dx12 on

[real bramble]

This sounds more like a different issue than gamerelated

halfing fps and going from ultra down to medium that is

[sour ivy]

No

[worldly agate]

BFV runs smooth

[sour ivy]

He's saying 90 fps in bfv and 40 in bf1

Echo, is dx12 on or off

[real bramble]

"i remember at launch i had like 90+ frames on ultra"

[worldly agate]

DX12 is off

[sour ivy]

Hmmm

[worldly agate]

And hrd10

I have it on that setting

[sour ivy]

Turn it off

And see what your fps is

[worldly agate]

Yeah HDR is off

[sour ivy]

That setting always causes me lag

[worldly agate]

Yeah everything is off

[steep gust]

@real bramble That isn't what vdroop is

It's a combination of adaptive voltage and turbo power limit being set to unlimited

vdroop is when you set your CPU to let's say 1.5v in the BIOS and it only gets 1.4v when you check something like cpuz

[real bramble]

I didnt said it was vdrop

i said its LLC kicking in to keep your CPU stable under the vdrop that occurs under heavy load

[worldly agate]

Should I turn off chromatic aberration effect?

[steep gust]

Yes

I haven't even tweaked the BIOS around since I'm lazy and just use XTU

I'll set it to 1v / 4.9ghz in the BIOS when I get to my PC to see if it'll post

[sage pollen]

@prime jasper That they are. Still doesn't work properly

[prime jasper]

@sage pollen If everyone got someone in their team you can't try sterting, if everyone sees the timer it's cool

[sage pollen]

@prime jasper yes we see the timer but when the leader connects to the server the rest gets "failed to connect to the server, no reservation found" or something similar

[marble compass]

Yo does anyone think I need an upgrade from an I5 7400 to play this smoothly? I kinda struggle to run the beta at 60fps rn

[autumn vigil]

What's your GPU?

[marble compass]

1060 6GB

[autumn vigil]

I have an I5-7600K and I run it at over 60fps almost 24/7

It might be the options

[marble compass]

Hm I turned everything down to low and locked at 60, it'll stay there mostly but it does have dips

[autumn vigil]

Do you have V-Sync on?

[marble compass]

Yeah

[autumn vigil]

What's your monitor's refresh rate?

[marble compass]

120hz

[autumn vigil]

Have you tried locking it to a different FPS?

[marble compass]

Yeah it locked at 50 and similar thing happens, same with BF1

[autumn vigil]

Lock it at a higher FPS?

[marble compass]

I'll try that again, thing is it will have big dips in fps

[autumn vigil]

Lock it at your monitor's refresh rate if 200 doesn't work

Also enabling DX12 mode seems to help a lot

The GTX 1060 supports DX12 so you should be fine

Also, try turning V-Sync off

And set the framerate lock to 200

See if that works

[sour ivy]

Yes to run it smoothly you need a better CPU

[marble compass]

Arighty I'll check that

[sour ivy]

Its not a terrible cpu

But still

[autumn vigil]

Does the O symbol mean on?

And the | symbol mean off?

[strong breach]

O = off
I = on

[autumn vigil]

Okay cheers

[marble compass]

Yeah I was thinking I need 6-8 cores but not sure atm

[autumn vigil]

I only have 4 cores and I'm fine

I think, at least

[woven talon]

Cores don’t matter that much 🤦‍♂️

Try to overclock if you can’t run it

[marble compass]

Well I can't connect to ea servers so that's fun

Mine is locked unfortunately

[woven talon]

Oh well that’s not your cpu

[autumn vigil]

Oof, they were up a second ago

[woven talon]

Are they down?

[marble compass]

Idk I'll restart

[autumn vigil]

They were down for me just then

[marble compass]

They're back (I think)

[dapper hemlock]

oh yeah, they are back for me

[marble compass]

I'm at a buttery smooth 50fps

Only 70-80% of it being used though

[steep gust]

@autumn vigil dx12 negatively affects performance in bfv

[autumn vigil]

Yeah, I realised I had it off so I turned it on and it started stuttering

Happened in BF1 as well

But in BF1 it made the menus unusable

[steep gust]

I have an 8600k overclocked to 4.9ghz and a 1080

With dx11 I always get above 100fps and around 120 average

With dx12 it'll drop below 100fps

[autumn vigil]

Oof

[prime jasper]

@steep gust Turn of shader memory in and/nVidia

hum dice need see this topic some have probm not many men have 4 gb ram

[steep root]

Hmmm

You are wrong

8 is the standard if you want to game

And basically all recent games have minimum as 8 gbs

[charred basin]

@prime jasper boi lay off the weed and buy ram

[prime jasper]

@charred basin Hu? When you aree using DirectX 12 you are recomended to disable such features

[sour ivy]

@prime jasper I'm not entirely sure that I understand what you said, but 8 GB is the absolute MINIMUM you need to play BFV

All modern titles require 8GB

At least

[prime jasper]

@sour ivy ho soory i talk to the nvdia card i have 2 gb and 8gb ram

[steep gust]

8gb is the min to game IMO

16gb is a little excessive but it's starting to see use

[sour ivy]

Ok

[steep gust]

@prime jasper even if you would disable settings in Nvidia control panel

DX12 would not give more fps over DX11

Dice needs to better optimize for DX12

[sour ivy]

What card do you have?

[steep gust]

1080 decently overclocked

[prime jasper]

its not normal it better naw to use ps4 500 euros

its normal you cant laging at any game white 6gb ram gys @steep gust

[steep gust]

What

[sour ivy]

uhm wat

[prime jasper]

you have the titan x nvida

[steep gust]

Titan X is old

[prime jasper]

so you cant have problem for run any game

[sour ivy]

1080ti is better for gaming

[steep gust]

Titan Xp > 1080ti

[prime jasper]

you have 4 gb ram right ?

[steep gust]

16

[prime jasper]

ho

and nvidia have 4 gb ddr 3 ?

[sour ivy]

What

VRAM?

[steep gust]

I have a 1080

So GDDR5X

[prime jasper]

holly shit

[sour ivy]

1080ti is bad

But still potato

You won't be playing battlefield on that lol

[sour ivy]

Yeah

What FPS are you getting in it

[prime jasper]

i can play weell all game but only battefield 5

[steep gust]

My spec list is

8600k @4.9ghz and 4.3ghz on cache

16gb of DDR4 3000mhz / CL18

Asus Rog Strix 1080 overclocked to around 2000mhz on core and like 11000 on memory

I average around 110-120fps at max settings in BFV

[sour ivy]

I doubt your PC can run BF1

or far cry 5

[steep gust]

Depends on resolution

I doubt he is using a 1080p display

[prime jasper]

yes great gys i have medium config at 88 fps

[sour ivy]

No

That's not true LOL

Not on those specs buddy

[steep gust]

You realize it's a laptop?

[sour ivy]

Yes

[prime jasper]

yes gys

[steep gust]

So its probably at like 900p

[prime jasper]

yes

[sour ivy]

Doesn't matter

[steep gust]

Yes it does

[sour ivy]

I'm saying he still can't run it

[steep gust]

BFV is a very CPU driven game

[prime jasper]

i using 1300x

[sour ivy]

I'm not saying it doesn't make a difference

[steep gust]

His CPU isn't that bad

[prime jasper]

n

[sour ivy]

It's a dual core

[steep gust]

Oof

[sour ivy]

Clocked at 3

That's pretty bad

[steep gust]

And that resolution is slightly above 720p

[prime jasper]

i have the best potatos

haha

[sour ivy]

I still don't see that running at 80 fps on MEDIUM LOL

[steep gust]

Discord pls

[sour ivy]

Ok?

[prime jasper]

its only on btf1 but btf 5 22 fps

[steep gust]

Min specs are for 1080p low 60fps right?

Thanks discord

[sour ivy]

A 8350 can't even run at low

[prime jasper]

you have great config @steep gust gys you can play gys

[sour ivy]

At 60fps

At least according to my friend lol

[steep gust]

I find that hard to believe

[sour ivy]

he was getting 40 on low

[steep gust]

PCs have a lot of variables

[sour ivy]

I'm aware

[steep gust]

If he doesn't have enough RAM that is like a 20% drop in performance

[sour ivy]

16gb

[steep gust]

Of DDR3

[sour ivy]

Yes

But 8350 isn't DDR4 compatible

[steep gust]

Duh

[sour ivy]

Right

So it's not a variable

[prime jasper]

R290, 4670k, 8GB DDR3 @80fps with medium to high settings'

[steep gust]

And yeah his 860m or whatever is better than a 660

DDR2

[sour ivy]

Uhm

The 660 is better

[steep gust]

It shouldn't be

[sour ivy]

At least the 660 has DDR5

[prime jasper]

well, I have locked the frame-rate

[steep gust]

Oh it's one of those stupid nvidia laptop GPUs that they put ddr3 in

[prime jasper]

So its stabl e 80

[sour ivy]

Yes

[steep gust]

Thanks nvidia

[sour ivy]

;O

[steep gust]

They enjoy the lack of competition don't they

AMD failed to do anything to team Green with vega

Which is a shame because I'd love for Nvidia to get the same treatment as Intel did

[sour ivy]

Yes

pls amd

fuck nvidia in the ass

[obtuse yew]

how much more do you guys think the game will get optimized for release?

[steep gust]

Remember kids that Intel said 6 core (and 8) CPUs were impossible without a larger die that X99 / X299 offered

[sour ivy]

It's well optimized already

[steep gust]

Then Rzyen came out

And all the sudden look guys 6c mainstream CPUs

[sour ivy]

Bugs will be fixed

[obtuse yew]

or so i heard, but do you think they will try even further?

[steep gust]

Hopefully

[obtuse yew]

my i5-7600 is doing ok but is suffocating a little bit

[sour ivy]

Probably not

[steep gust]

DX12 needs some love

[obtuse yew]

drops to 40s at times

[steep gust]

I don't like when I drop below 100

[obtuse yew]

[prime jasper]

[steep gust]

Posted this earlier ```My spec list is

8600k @4.9ghz and 4.3ghz on cache

16gb of DDR4 3000mhz / CL18

Asus Rog Strix 1080 overclocked to around 2000mhz on core and like 11000 on memory

I average around 110-120fps at max settings in BFV ```

[sour ivy]

I mean

The 7600 should be struggling a bit

[prime jasper]

use direct x 11 gys

[sour ivy]

Yeah, we know

[steep gust]

So yeah when I drop below 100fps at 1080p I die inside

[obtuse yew]

I guess it should be, I was just hoping I would be able to maintain a steady 60 everywhere at least on low

[sour ivy]

It probably should be getting 60

[obtuse yew]

like for some strange reason I see barely any FPS differences between low-mid-high settings

[sour ivy]

That's because it's your CPU struggling

[steep gust]

I'm guessing you don't have the unlocked version?

[sour ivy]

Not your GPU

[obtuse yew]

yeah ik

[steep gust]

So you can't overclock

Thanks Intel

[obtuse yew]

so that's why I was wondering if potentially any further optimizations would help CPU usage

[steep gust]

Hopefully

Its 1080p so it'll always be CPU bound

[obtuse yew]

that's kinda the deal breaker for me when it comes to buying the game, unless I manage to upgrade my CPU beforehand

[prime jasper]

I was looking forward to the 20XX series of GPUs

But NVIDIA can kill themselves if they think I'll drop that much money on a new one, specifically the 2080ti

[steep gust]

So don't?

[prime jasper]

But thats the point of what I'm saying?

[steep gust]

You realize how much money they spent on R&D?

And they are a company that wants to make money

[prime jasper]

Ok

On another note

How much fps would I probably get on BF5 with everything on max, with my setup?

[sour ivy]

Well download the beta

And see for yourself

But a lot

The only limiting factor I can see is your ram

[obtuse yew]

speaking of the 20XX series, my friend plans to get a build with 2 of them paired with 64GB RAM and some other stuff

why? because he has too much money

lmao

[sour ivy]

That's interesting

[strong breach]

Hmm im kinda thinking of it

[steep root]

Bigotry

[sour ivy]

that's fucked up

[strong breach]

Yeah graphics will look nice but there's no real benchmarks as for now

[sour ivy]

so messed up

[queen field]

@steep gust where u get that min/recommended list from, that is so wrong

Jfc, 3gb/4gb VRAM as recommended? I can't wait to see the complaints of game feeling laggy even at medium settings

[steep root]

Its from dice

[steep gust]

@prime jasper 8gb of RAM is gonna hurt

@obtuse yew and why go Rzyen if you have too much money

The new i9s should come out soon, so get the new gen top of the line 7980XE replacement and give it 128gb of ram

$2000 in RAM for your probably $3000 CPU

[steep root]

I9

[obtuse yew]

i'll relay that info to him, but i think he was considering getting a high i7

idk

[steep root]

[obtuse yew]

I told him he could save some money by you know, just getting one 2080ti and like 32 RAM but nope xD

[steep gust]

32gb of RAM is excessive for gaming

64GB is overkill for about any workload

128gb has like one workload that can take advantage of it

True balls to the wall would be the 8th or 9th gen (whatever Intel goes with) flagship X299 CPU with 128GB of RAM with dual 2080TIs

Also toss in a $1500 custom loop

[steep root]

Im planning on buying a 2018 ti if it comes that it has a good performance

[steep gust]

Benchmarks will come eventually

[steep root]

Well

Yeah

[steep gust]

Driver support is also super important

[steep root]

But it already out of stock from nvidia

[steep gust]

But it from a board partner not nvidia

Better cooling, factory overclocks

[steep root]

Well yeah

Still no custom pcb shown

[queen field]

Thanks

Guru 3d kinda did a bench

[prime jasper]

Tip: if you have a 4460 and want to play BF5, throw it out of the window as far as you can

[queen field]

Don't do that

Just cause it can't run BF properly, doesn't mean it's useless

[prime jasper]

It's bad for my blood pressure, that thing

[queen field]

Can be repurposes for other uses, IE a streaming machine or a FTP server

Repurposed*

[prime jasper]

I'll sell mine probably

[steep gust]

@queen field What CPU?

[queen field]

@steep gust huh?

[plain quiver]

hi all. i have a problem. i rent Origin Access yesterday.

and now i should have BF4 premium

but, whenever i start the game and try to join a premium server, it tells me i need to install following expansions and lists single or several expansions of premium

i have premium and if i click repair, it re-installs all the expansions

but it doesnt help, i cant play

its not recognized by the game

and they are not listed as installed and i cant click anywhere to "install" them

also the game is listed as "premium edition" in origin

i tried restarting origin and my laptop aswell, nothing helps

please if possible someone help me ^^

[quartz canopy]

[plain quiver]

[steep gust]

@plain quiver make sure you have all the DLC downloaded

@queen field for those benchmarks

BFV is very much a CPU bound game

[keen verge]

Can Geforce 840M card run BFV?

beta*

[agile rain]

Ooof, 840M 👀

[keen verge]

[obtuse yew]

how big of a waste would it be to get a K variant CPU on a non-overclockable motherboard?

[agile rain]

Very

If you dont plan to have a OC board, dont get a OC chip

[obtuse yew]

hmm makes sense i guess

[agile rain]

I have Ryzen so I can OC ;3

But I don't because I have the wraith cooler and I dont want my CPU to approach 90C

[obtuse yew]

yeah 90C doesn't sound very good lol

[agile rain]

Right now it gets close to 70 in game

[obtuse yew]

my i5-7600 is struggling a little bit on this game unfortunately :/

unless they somehow optimize more for CPUs on release, i kinda want to get a new one

[agile rain]

Rip, i5s arent good for modern BF games, especially the old ones

I have 6C/12T so im good

[queen field]

@steep gust yes, I'm aware of that, why? 4770k of mine almost hits 80% average load lol

@keen verge no my dude, unless you're ok with downscaling, possible to run BF5 @ 768p/720p render resolution

[agile rain]

I play at 1080P with mostly high except things like undergrowth, shadows, effects and post process

[queen field]

playing bf5 @ 1080p with everything at lowest except for textures

[agile rain]

:C

[queen field]

280x checking in

[agile rain]

1060 6gb checking in

[queen field]

looking at used market now, i see a 1070 for 350 usd now

and a rx 580 8gb for 250 usd atm

[agile rain]

I paid 300 for the 1060

[queen field]

prices of gpu's are dipping hard now

[agile rain]

I have a 960 sitting in a box back home

[queen field]

hey its me ur bro

nah jk, that gpu performs head 2 head when compared against my 280x

[agile rain]

I gave my lil bro until christmas to save for a PC and he can have the 960 or else imma sell it

[queen field]

like what you did, personally I always see spare parts to be either sold for extra funds or spare parts to another pc, no point keeping

[agile rain]

Although people are wanting to give like $50 for it, people these days

[queen field]

lol

[agile rain]

It is worth atleast 100

[queen field]

ultra low ball

yeah

280x are sold for around 90usd, i understand that

its a power hungry card that performs like an 960

[agile rain]

Its the EVGA SSC version of the 960

[queen field]

@_@

dont think the factory oc seem to affect prices much for these cards anymore

unless they're from a previous gen like the 1000 series

lul i want a gt 610 now

[agile rain]

Idk how 960 performs with BFV because I used it in the 1st alpha which was so unoptimized so I had to drop everything to low and 900P, lol

[queen field]

mmh

i wonder why does battlefield v not have story mode in open beta @_@

[agile rain]

BF never shows story in the beta, that is for release :3

[queen field]

i did the storyline of the "u are not expected to survive etc etc" that made me go woooohhhh & story of black bess & the crew during open beta, it was great

hahaha

what if

they have yet to even write the script for battlefield V storyline

[agile rain]

?? You couldnt play story in the beta

For BF1

[queen field]

is it?

weird

i remember playing the storyline when i didnt evne buy it

[agile rain]

Story is never in the beta for any BF game

[queen field]

i didnt even have origin subscription

[agile rain]

You can play the story in the trial

[queen field]

AH

that must be it!

[plain quiver]

@steep gust well, about downloading the expansions - they show up as owned by me, but in the menu i dont have the option to download the expansions its strange

[keen verge]

@queen field Ok. Tq for the info.

[plain quiver]

its like as if the installation was never finished for ALL expansiosn even the free ones

can someoen help me?

[rose eagle]

whats the reasoning behind this nonsense?

[strong breach]

probably RTX GPUs

[rose eagle]

being shit?

lol

[strong breach]

can't really think of anything else

bad or not they're new

so older stuff becomes cheaper

[rose eagle]

no i mean they ramped way back up again

$650 for like the week of announce week and then maybe poorly received so everyone jacked prices back up? lol

[strong breach]

oh

no idea mate

[rose eagle]

meh, guess ill wait for stupid 2070 benchmarks even if its post BF:V release

@plain quiver you sure you dont just have the content downloaded already? i thought Battlefield 1 installed everything the same for everyone regardless of unlocked status

[plain quiver]

no im on bf4

and no im sure the chian rising expansino pack is not downloaded

[prime jasper]

Because RTX is a shill

No one I know who plays games are switching to the 20XX series due to the price to performance, except for those that are massive gaming rig whales

Majority of people Ik are upset with the 20XX series, so ig they were being sold off & dropped down from price due to crypto becoming almost worthless to mine, but the 20XX series flopped, most decided to hold onto their older cards & wait out the next gen, instead of selling them all off like everyone thought would happen

I'm one of those people, I was 100% looking forward to a 20XX card, but it disappointed me, so I'll hold onto my GTX1070ti until the series after the 20XX & hope its better

[prime jasper]

I was thinking about it today bc I was listening to the pc gamer show, and they made a good point bc one of the host was like 'why make it when ray tracing isn't standard and 4k gaming still isn't the norm?'

and another said 'well, it's the creation of GPUs which have the ability to do these things that stimulates their growth'

which i thought was a good point

but I bought a GTX 1080 when prices were slightly inflated still so i'm a bit salty

lol

[agile rain]

shameless plug but oh well

👀

[prime jasper]

ugh, gingers

jkjk

[agile rain]

🗡

[prime jasper]

Holy shit, an entire squad just got blown to the after life in front of me in BF1 by a bomber in the very start of this conquest match

Revived the entire squad

See, this is why medic is good in BF1, I like this

Can't do that in BF5

[agile rain]

Ummm, #battlefield-legacy-titles 👀

[prime jasper]

o

wrong channel

[agile rain]

wow, smh
