[strong breach]

shameless plugs to #streams-and-videos 👀

[prime jasper]

does bfv appear in geforce experince as an optimized game?

cuz i dont see it

[steep gust]

Not yet

[dapper hemlock]

im sure im not the first to see the horrible glitch where if you have a critical death but a medic revives you just before it says critical death and it registers, you literally cannot play the rest of the game.

[steep gust]

you have to have someone kill you

anyways that isn't a tech issue, that is a game bug

[dapper hemlock]

well idk where to put that

[lofty light]

#battlefield-legacy-titles?

I get that bug around 2 times a game though if I'm playing with a good clan

[steep gust]

duh

#battlefield-legacy-titles for gameplay bugs

[dapper hemlock]

ok, dont make fun of my lack of knowledge

[steep gust]

but yeah the case I want is the Phanteks Evolv X with a nice $200 price tag

and a ton of radiator support

[lofty light]

Yeah, I've probs gone the other way from large custom loops tbh, recently built a tiny little LAN rig

I like the whole Pocket rocket idea

[steep gust]

Its an mid tower chassis with about everything I'd ever need

like it competes with larger towers it storage and rad support

and it looks great

[lofty light]

I do like the looks of the phanteks cases, ended up going with Corsair for my build though

[steep gust]

I just have an S340 elite since it was pretty cheap and I liked the looks of it

Wish I went with a Meshify C but hey it was my first build

[lofty light]

My first build was in a very poorly built aerocool case that started falling apart after 6 months

But hey, it looked like an aliens back so it was cool

[prime jasper]

[ocean cedar]

i asked a while ago how to fix my BFV, turns out i can run 60fps at ultra/high settings. I had another program running in the background thet i didn't know of that just made BFV drop to 30fps and now that program is gone i can play BFV and it is awesome!

[north crow]

which program was that?

[smoky lichen]

Guys i need help

Battlefield doesn't work with i5 cpus

Meanwhile it works with ryzen

Ryzen 3 1200

Its the same as a i5 7400

How come man

[real bramble]

maybe upgrade your CPU then?

Trying to play latest AAA title on i5 7400 smth

and even that works i bet

i used to play bf1 just fine with a 6600k and apart from the clockdifference they are the same

[steep gust]

@smoky lichen i5 is a marketing scheme not a generation name

My i5 8600k @4.9ghz gets me 110fps on average and never drops below 100

[plain quiver]

how can i, in battlefield 4 change my dogtag?

[steep gust]

Battlelog

[plain quiver]

ok thanks

[smoky lichen]

fucking bullshit

fuck intel

fuck pc gaming

[granite kestrel]

thonk

[sour ivy]

@smoky lichen sorry that your CPU isnt good enough to run the most demanding games

[smoky lichen]

Yeah

I complained about this in nvidia channel

And people there dont have a brain

Not even common sense

Thats what happens when you are a fanboy of something

[sour ivy]

What

Lol

[prime jasper]

@north crow Im guessing AMD ReLive if he use them. Even if you decline it (ReLive that is) it will run as a background app stealing 20-40% depending on your GPU.

[quaint topaz]

Yay or nay

[dim knoll]

Don't spend ur money on stuff cuz it has fancy lights

[quaint topaz]

If you can think of a better z370 board for a similar price pls link it

[vale egret]

if u like fancy lights buy fancy lights

myself im ready to spent that extra on fancy rgb

[real bramble]

Asus Maximus?

Asus fanboy btw so don't trust me

[steep root]

spending 150 bucks extra for aesthetics

Absolutely not me

[wooden lintel]

hey so I'm stuttering in Battlefield 1/V and I kinda know why but I'm not sure what to upgrade first

Basically I have a Ryzen 3 1200 @ 3.8GHz, 1x8GB 2400 MHz RAM OC'd @ 2933MHz, and a GTX 970

I know my CPU is weak

but apparently

Single channel RAM is super bad for Ryzen AND even worse for the Frostbite engine

so I'm hesitating between getting a Ryzen 5 2600 or another stick of 8 GB of RAM for dual channel

next month

[prime jasper]

Upgrade that CPU first..

8GB of RAM is fine if you only play games, etc. but I would recommend 16, but that CPU needs upgrading like, now, if you plan on gaming in the future, etc.

[sour ivy]

Not gaming

This kind of gaming

Aka battlefield

[wooden lintel]

I see

[sour ivy]

A budget CPU like that struggles in CPU demanding games like battlefield.

[wooden lintel]

Do you think a 6 cores 12 threads Ryzen 5 2600 will be enough?

I assume so

[sour ivy]

Yes

Without a doubt

However, not future proof

[prime jasper]

@smoky lichen my game runs like sht on a r5 1600 i think they will optimize these at launch

[steep root]

not future proof

6/12

yeah ur wrong

[wooden lintel]

I think Ryzen 5 2600 OC'd, 16 GB of RAM when I do upgrade it and a GTX 970 will be a very decent PC for the next few years

Might need to upgrade my 970 in a year or two

I'll most likely get an RX 580 8 GB, it's only 10% faster but has double the VRAM

and is cheaper than a GTX 1060 6 GB right now

[raw turtle]

have got i5 4690k 8gb ram and a 1060

sometimes i had lags, sometimes not, what could be the reason for this?

[wooden lintel]

Is your RAM single or dual channel?

AKA do you have 2 sticks of 4 GB in a Dual Channel compliant motherboard

Or only 1 stick of 8 GB

Because Dual channel RAM is really important for Frostbyte engine, also

8 GB is not alot by 2018 standards

Especially not for a open world game with 128 players on the map

In fact, most modern games will require a minimum of 8 GB and recommend 16 GB of RAM

Which is the exact case of both Battlefield 1 and V

@raw turtle also you have an Intel i5 4690k, k meaning its an unlocked CPU, have you overclocked it?

[raw turtle]

dual channel

no, i dont know how

my motherboard has oc genie, automated oc or smth like that but never used it cuz idk how it works

[wooden lintel]

Ah, see, usually Intel CPUs are all locked, but Intel K CPUs are unlocked meaning they're made to Overclock,

[raw turtle]

i know this, because of that i bought an K for future planning

but nothing happene

[wooden lintel]

Also your CPU is a 4 core, Battlefield 1 and V destroy 4 cores, a good example is my Ryzen 3 1200 that I overclocked at 3.8 GHz, it struggles when the server reaches 80+ players

Your CPU is actually similar, barely stronger than mine

[raw turtle]

so, oc is a good idea?

need to learn it then

[wooden lintel]

Yeah, could definitely help

[raw turtle]

and upgrade my cooler for even better results

and new ram

[wooden lintel]

Well its pretty easy, and safe, you go into BIOS, overclock your core clock and you might need to up the Core Voltage too a bit

Then you benchmark

To check if its stable

[raw turtle]

but its risky or not?

[wooden lintel]

Not at all, unless you're a fucking sociopath and OC it to 8 GHz, in which case itll just crash and it'll reset your CMOS battery

I actually don't know your specific CPU well, there are alot of guides online or I could link you a Discord overclocking community

[raw turtle]

that would be nice, just dm me

[sour ivy]

Make sure you don't buy DDR4

[wooden lintel]

I DMed you the link, go into CPU_overclocking and ask away

[raw turtle]

thanks 😄

[wooden lintel]

No problem

[steep gust]

core clock?

core multiplier

and single vs dual channel RAM makes no real difference in games

Your CPU / total RAM is much more important

[wooden lintel]

Actually

I could send you the video

Battlefield 1 it makes a huge difference

[steep gust]

inb4 5fps

Yeah it might make a big difference when rest of your hardware has no issues driving the game

but unless you are rocking a 8700k / 1080ti you can generally find better performance gains

[wooden lintel]

https://youtu.be/0XmCE7Qfbt4

The difference is especially huge for Ryzen

But thats because its Ryzen

But THIS guy is running a FOKING XEON lmao

Damn, my old PC used to have a Intel Xeon

[steep gust]

Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB  MSI GAMING X
8GB DDR3 1600MHz

I think that might be a bigger issue

and Rzyen's memory issues have all but been fixed

[wooden lintel]

Bigger issue? What is, his low RAM frequency?

[steep gust]

DDR3

8GB of RAM

[wooden lintel]

Because Xeon CPUs being worse for gaming is a myth

Ah

[steep gust]

and an old ass Xeon

[wooden lintel]

Alot of people have this misconception that just because Xeon are server CPUs they can't game, Linus Tech Tips I think made a video debunking that myth

(No saying you do tho)

[steep gust]

I don't

But you can sure buy Xeons that suck ass for gaming

Since they are generally high core count low clock speed

[wooden lintel]

But Xeon CPUs are less efficient in the sense that ECC RAM costs more and Xeon itself too so building a gaming rig out of Xeon wouldn't be worth it

Compared to Intel or Ryzen

Well the Intel i series

I remember a friend of mine not even two years ago, made one of the worse mistakes ever

He wanted a high end rig

But in his head more cores = better,

So he bought an AMD FX 6300

[steep gust]

Gotta go buy an FX chip

2 years ago would have still made the FX series 5 years old

X99 would have existed

[sour ivy]

fx omega

[steep gust]

and since FX chips have 3 true cores if they have 6 total

[wooden lintel]

Such a bad idea, even worse because its on a platform with ended support, this year he came to me to build him a PC, got we upgraded everything

Brand new rig

Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 6 GB

And a sweet SSD

He was so happy, in GTA V he went from loe settings 35 FPD to max settings 80 FPS

now I'm the one who needs to upgrade

[raw turtle]

but its so expensive

[mint pendant]

Hi, I'm trying to play BF4 but each time I join a match I get kicked back to the menu instantly with this message.

[raw turtle]

me too lol

[sand plinth]

me tOO I knew this would happen

[raw turtle]

but what is the reason?

[wooden lintel]

Okay so punk buster is bugged

You have to use a repair tool

I had to do that to play the game

[steep gust]

uninstall and download punkbuster again

[keen plank]

Yeah, reinstalling it usually fixes it.

[prime jasper]

I'm still tilted about the 20XX series being a flop..

Was looking forward to dumping so much money into a new card

[steep gust]

Have we gotten benchmarks?

No

So you can't even judge their performance to know if they are flops

[sour ivy]

[steep gust]

and if you remember that Nvidia sure loves their drive performance updates any "leaked" benchmarks aren't accurate since y'all know

no drivers

[sour ivy]

I have a 2080ti already

Its decent

[steep gust]

I have a Titan VpTI its pretty ok

[sour ivy]

Meh

[steep gust]

Yeah I wish my GDDRXTX10TI memory was faster

[rose eagle]

Will wait for 2070 benchmarks to make a final decision

I guess we may not know benches till close to release of BFV

[steep gust]

September 20th is the launch date

and synthetic benchmarks are good for raw performance numbers

[rose eagle]

I'm just looking to see how close the 2070 will be too 1080ti honestly

Since it's supposed to be what, $399 reference?

1080 ti is $650+ so if 2070 is even between 1070ti and 1080ti it seems like a no brainier

My price point for a video card is never above $400 and I don't see 1080 ever dropping below that

[lofty light]

I'm waiting for gamers Nexus to review the performance of the 20 series and if they're good I'll be getting a 2080ti me thinks

[short crypt]

Its clearly a flop

30-60 fps with ray tracing enabled in 1080p

Thats a flop lmao

[prime jasper]

2 1080ti's >2080ti

[short crypt]

Yeah i will keep my 1080 ti for sure

2080TI = 60 fps 1080p 
2080 = 60 fps 720p 
2070 = 60 fps 480p

In bf5 with ray tracing enabled thats a god damn joke

[short crypt]

With a 1080 ti without RTX in 1440p im getting 100-165 fps lol

[thorny ivy]

on bf5?@short crypt

i mean

what settings

i get ultra 110 fps ish on 1440p

1080ti aswell\

[short crypt]

Yeah ok with Everything cranked up its around 110-130 fps

Still alot better than 60 fps in 1080p xd

[agile rain]

Ill settle with my 1060 and high settings at 60 - 90 fps

[real bramble]

[quaint topaz]

Where are you all getting these numbers from.

20-series benchmarks wont come out until next week

[lofty light]

They're getting it from the computex (?) Showing of BFV on it, which I'm sure had crappy drivers and was running on an early unoptimised BFV version

So essentially those stats mean nothing as we don't know how much more optimisation can be done

[sour ivy]

Rtx just isnt worth it

I'd rather it be 144 fps than have some fancy looking graphics

[lofty light]

It probs won't be, but we don't know yet

[sour ivy]

Because BFV already looks amazing without shit tracing

[lofty light]

I won't be using the ray tracing bit if I get one anyway

[sour ivy]

Exactly

[lofty light]

Need a card for 144 4k and my 1080 doesn't cut it

[quaint topaz]

That's true.

I'd rather wait for the nvidia game ready drivers for RTX cards to roll out and get stable

[short crypt]

Or better yet stay miles away from the rtx cards and wait a few years

[rose eagle]

RTX aside there's no reason a 2070 shouldn't beat a 1070 by substantial margins, so if it doesn't for some reason then someone screwed up bad

[torn minnow]

agree

just wait for the price to drop on the 1000 line

[rose eagle]

My price point is $400 which is a 1070ti or 2070

[lofty light]

Or just buy it! Like that time hardware article said

[torn minnow]

lol

Aleast wait for the reviews:P

[rose eagle]

I could buy a 1070 evga now and use their trade up

But I'm not even sure I care enough about bfv to warrant upgrading lol

It's the only game that I'd even buy a new card for

[torn minnow]

wel i have a 1050TI now

[rose eagle]

I have a 970 so it runs the game fine 1440p

[torn minnow]

i wil wait for the new gen of GPU so that the OLD GPU wil be lower so that i can buy a GTX 1070TI

[rose eagle]

I mean I have a 144hz 1440p so 60fps kinda sucks but $400 for one game? Eh..

[torn minnow]

i play more games XD

then just bf

[rose eagle]

Yea I was expecting that but prices aren't dropping...

They did and then went back up

[torn minnow]

they are now more down

lemme check

[rose eagle]

I play path of exile and it runs 120+

Rocket league..

[torn minnow]

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1107485/asus-rog-strix-gtx-1070-ti-gaming-advanced.html

Scroll down

i also play overwatch

leage

Plus i want to play doom

and the witcher

[sour ivy]

Pretty sure nobody needs a 1070 for league

🤔

[rose eagle]

They bounced way back up

[torn minnow]

@sour ivy i play mroe guys just like i said

damn

Wel in holland they are stil low

[rose eagle]

Hopefully when 2080 comes out we can see if it kills 1080

[torn minnow]

Who knows

[rose eagle]

If prices don't fall... Ugh

I was getting like 40-60fps in beta

[torn minnow]

wel i wil be buying it anyway

So i dont care

[rose eagle]

That's not playable

[torn minnow]

the GPU

now BF5:p

not*

[lofty light]

@rose eagle what's your CPU?

[torn minnow]

he has a 970

[lofty light]

That's be his GPU

Battlefield is CPU heavy

[torn minnow]

i have a

euh

Intel Core i5 @ 3.60GHz 43 °C
Coffee Lake 14nm Technology

[lofty light]

My old PC had a low end old i5 and a 960 and the CPU made BF1 run at 25-30 fps on minimum

Ah, that's be fine then.

Was that fps on 1080p?

[torn minnow]

oef

no idea

i didit have fraps on

i have a 1050ti

[lofty light]

Ah yeah that'll do it

[torn minnow]

😛

[lofty light]

Nice headset btw 👌

[torn minnow]

thanks

it is wireless

i ffing love i

it

no more cable shit

[lofty light]

I'm on my second one, the first had the circuit board die

[torn minnow]

Damn

But i wil return the headset tough

it is broken

the sounds cuts off sometimes

[lofty light]

Oh 😕 that sucks

[torn minnow]

also the mic

But i bougt it at a good company

So it wil be taken care off

[lofty light]

Within warranty period? Mine was doing similar crap before it died

[torn minnow]

yhea

like

5 months old

27-02-2018

[rose eagle]

@lofty light i7 3770k

no talkin sht, she's OCd 3.5 -> 4.3 and performs damn near on par in gaming as any modern i7 ;D

[sour ivy]

Really

[rose eagle]

never upgrading this cpu til it dies

+- 10% in gaming isnt worth it

not a lot has changed from gen1 i7

i5 had massive changes though

[short crypt]

anyone else? 😄

[real bramble]

yupp

but my download was 40gb 🤔

[short crypt]

i preloaded it

so just had to unpack it

which is done now

😄

[real bramble]

ah sweet, enjoy

[short crypt]

Thx mate

[steep gust]

@rose eagle I'd say going from 4c 8t to 6c 12t is a large jump

Same with moving from the 22nm node to 14nm

and the larger cache

Faster buses

DDR4

etc

The i7 3770k is destroyed by the 8700k

Hell my 8600k overclocked to 4.9ghz crushes the 3770k

A quick google search shows someone running a 3770k @4.6ghz getting in the low 800s in Cinebench

A stock 8600k gets in the around 1200

[rose eagle]

That is all useless info guys ;p

At 1440p your gpu is more a bottleneck and my cpu is more than adequate for battlefield

There's some very robust testing on the net for 1080 vs 1440 vs 4k on specifically the old i7vs new and gaming

[lofty light]

Is it gamers Nexus? 😃

[rose eagle]

Nah mainly just random videos since it's such a specific test

https://youtu.be/M3-eC7PPIW0

[steep gust]

Actually

At 1440p its a mix

4k is almost only GPU

[rose eagle]

Yea

1080 even in this specific video is about 10% on bf1

[steep gust]

Anyways

Its hard to benchmark in multiplayer

[rose eagle]

I'm more saying 3770k isn't worth upgrading $800 worth of components

It's an entire new computer basically

[steep gust]

Its not $800 to upgrade to a newer CPU

[lofty light]

He'd need a new CPU, mobo and ram

[rose eagle]

I bought a $20 cooler master instead and OCd it lol ;)

Don't forget power supply

[steep gust]

what

[lofty light]

Why a new PSU?

[steep gust]

CPUs have only gotten more efficient

[rose eagle]

It's from 2012 also

I'd absolutely not trust it on a new rig

[lofty light]

Ah

[rose eagle]

But if it burns this one.. eh lol

[steep gust]

Its about $500 to upgrade to an 8600k / Z370 motherboard / 16gb of DDR4 (3000mhz / CL16)

[rose eagle]

Riding it out til something really makes the cpu obsolete

[steep gust]

Add in $80 for a new PSU

[rose eagle]

Nowhere near yet imo

[steep gust]

and maybe $40-50 for a CPU cooler than will cover a 5.0ghz overclock

[rose eagle]

8700K is only option

[steep gust]

what

A lot of games don't even take advantage of 4 cores properly

[rose eagle]

Why bother 8600k

[steep gust]

Because its the best value unlocked gaming CPU?

[rose eagle]

If you buy something you may as well future proof it best possible

[steep gust]

I have an 8600k @4.9ghz and a 1080 and averaged like 120fps in BFV at max settings

Future proofing in PCs

[rose eagle]

I'm married with a kid, my shit needs to last

[steep gust]

Well

The 8700k will be old within two months or so

Because of the 9th gen 8c 16t CPU

[rose eagle]

It's easier to convince the wife to buy something once every 5 years man lol

[steep gust]

i9 9900k or whatever its called

[rose eagle]

Otherwise she will say.. Uh didn't you just upgrade that 3 years ago

[steep gust]

The thing I'm most excited for with 9th gen Intel CPUs?

Solder as the TIM instead of toothpaste

If the leaks are right

[rose eagle]

Sure I mean I'm just waiting for 2070 benchmarks

My cpu is fine

[steep gust]

ehhh

[rose eagle]

I have a 970 though

[steep gust]

Depends on your resolution

[rose eagle]

1440

It's fine ;)

[steep gust]

So yeah CPU is still important :^)

[rose eagle]

It has to be, upgrading cpu would give me like 10%

From 60fps that's nothing

Bfv ran like piss on 970

[steep gust]

I'll take 1080p 144hz over 1440p 60hz

I want a 1440p 144hz monitor but I really should get a 1080ti then

[rose eagle]

Yea I have some buyers remorse on the 1440 since I can't drive it

[steep gust]

Wait I HAVE to buy a 2080ti since life without ray tracing isn't a life worth living

[rose eagle]

But the gsync still helps on 90fps

[steep gust]

'ray tracing'

As far as I'm worried

RTX is just wannabe ray tracing

True ray tracing is still years off

[rose eagle]

It's like literally only battlefield games that tax my machine

Aholes :p

[steep gust]

I know making an optimized game

Damn them

[rose eagle]

Lol more like too damn pretty

[lofty light]

I got a Acer Predator X34P and it's gorgeous, just need that RTX

[steep gust]

You realize what RTX actually is?

a glorified lighting engine and anti aliasing

[lofty light]

Shh, just buy it

[steep gust]

Shh lets not buy into marketing

[lofty light]

Give lord NVIDIA your dollary doos

[rose eagle]

Yes please buy them and drive down 10xx pieces

[steep gust]

That isn't how prices work

[rose eagle]

Young people drive the economy

[steep gust]

They know people will buy them

That is why the RTX 2080ti MSRP is $1000

They have almost doubled the MSRP of the flagship GPU over a generation

[rose eagle]

The 2070 needs to be better than 1080 non ti

At $500 price point that's what a 1080 is

[steep gust]

980TI was $649 MSRP

1080ti was $700

2080ti is $1000

[rose eagle]

Lol yea messed up

[steep gust]

AMD needs to get their shit together when it comes to GPUs

[agile rain]

The 580 is still as powerful as a 1060, so if 1080P 60 is your thing then AMD still has that

[half maple]

i have 2x 2080 ti, i9 7980xe, 128gb ddr4 ram and a 100tb ssd

[magic totem]

Lol

What bank did you rob

[rose eagle]

that should run BF:V at least 90fps

prob crash every 15 seconds but it be fast

[hushed geyser]

guys i got a cpu cooling question

i run a 7820x on an 360mm radiator with 6 fans. i use intel boost technology 3.0. my water temp is around 38 celsius. 7 out of 8 cores are around 43 celsius. 1 core is at 49-53 celsius. its switching too. means. the hotter core is sometimes #3 then #5 then #7. its randomly.

i might try uninstalling this boost tech 3.0

but the question was: why is 1 core spiking so much? only because of this 3.0 stuff ?

[raw turtle]

@hushed geyser join r/overclocking

They can answer all oc questions

[hushed geyser]

thanks for the tip. 😃

[pallid silo]

Is 1.35 voltage good for 24/7 OC ryzen 5 1600

[rose eagle]

im not up on AMD but that seems to be the highest you should go

[pallid silo]

Okay!! :) I'll show you my cinebench

[rose eagle]

im staying in the voltage bounds for my i7 and not going beyond it for any reason, that cpu is rated 1.35-1.37 as target max it seems for 24/7

[pallid silo]

@rose eagle

[rose eagle]

is that a variable OC? i know mine throttles down the voltage if required

dynamic voltage

[pallid silo]

Stopped prime95 and gonna see now

[rose eagle]

cine pushed it 63c?

[pallid silo]

Prime95 did

[rose eagle]

have you tried to fry it with OCCT for 10 minutes yet?

if it doesnt crash or go too high temps with that tool you're usually golden

[pallid silo]

Sweet mg cooled is the noctua nhd15

My cooler

[rose eagle]

nice 😉

i was able to only fork over $20 for a Coolermaster 212 EVO

keeps it well under temps, cpu cant be pushed further

[pallid silo]

They are good but effort to install xD

What's your ghz

[rose eagle]

haha yea it was fun

[pallid silo]

On what i7

[rose eagle]

i have an old ass school 3770k 3.5 @ 4.3, not too high

just squeezing the last remaining life out of her

[pallid silo]

Ah fair enough!! :DD overclocking doesn't even reduce your life that much

[rose eagle]

i more meant stretching her til she needs to be replaced, haha

whole rig has to go at that point

ive done enough research , my cpu isnt bottlenecking

[pallid silo]

Ah xD what's your cinebench score

[rose eagle]

it doesnt score well in testing, it just doesnt bottleneck gaming FPS 😉

its only like a 792cb

[pallid silo]

Ah fair enough xD I feel like ryzen is the best way to go

And wow Intel is pretty bad xd

[rose eagle]

2012 i7 😉

first gen

[pallid silo]

Fair enough xD will you move to ryzen

[rose eagle]

it wouldnt multtask well but i doubt it, not a huge cost benefit or anything

my cpu runs games within 10% of an 8700K

[pallid silo]

Ryzen multitasks very well xd

[rose eagle]

it just wouldnt stream as well etc

[rose eagle]

that tool will push the OC to its limits so it's imo the most surefire way to know you arent harming it long term

10m though is important

[pallid silo]

Why is occt more intensive than prime95? When it uses 100 percent cpu

My cpu is at 68 at default fan speed

[hushed geyser]

i think prime95 is heavy load

but its AVX load

[rose eagle]

i find OCCT will make you more aware there's a problem than prime

[pallid silo]

Fuck my pc crashed

[rose eagle]

pooper scooper

[hushed geyser]

lmaoi

[pallid silo]

I don't wanna go past 1.35 voltage

[rose eagle]

try running just the Linpack test

i imagine you clicked Cpu:OCCT, thats not a guarantee of unstable but since you failed it, go ahead and see how lingpack goes

[pallid silo]

Linpack?

[rose eagle]

yea its the 2nd tab in OCCT

[pallid silo]

Ahh! What does that do

I'm doing it and my cpu is at 20 percent cpu

Oh it's 100 percent now cd

Xd

70 degrees after 3 mins

[rose eagle]

woo doggy

[pallid silo]

I really don't get what this linpack does xd

[rose eagle]

sorry, OCCT really just runs that benchmark

the OCCT one is a screw your system over bench

i wouldnt 100% call it unstable if it fails, but if you are OCD about your OCs you will make it stable 😄

[pallid silo]

Okay sweet xD so my temps atm after 8 mins 30 seconds are 71 degrees is that good

[rose eagle]

linpack itself is a floating point computational perf benchmark

thats good yea for OCCT blast testing

nothing will bring your computer to those temps

if im running a game that taxes my system 90% then id want to know it's rock stable and not being pushed to its limits constantly

[pallid silo]

It just stopped

[rose eagle]

so imo OCCT just ensures yea its absolutely stable under insane loads, but definitely stable during normal operation

[pallid silo]

After 9 mins 11 secs

[rose eagle]

your memory OCd or anything?

right voltages

[pallid silo]

Only xmp

I'm running prime 95 while I have dinner xd

[prime jasper]

hey, im getting gifted a 1080p 144hz monitor, and i have a great deal on a 1070ti lined up, is the upgrade worth missing out on the freesync from the monitor? from a 390x on 1080 60hz

[rose eagle]

@prime jasper you could still utilize fast sync with the new card but it will still result in some input latency, just not as bad as raw vsync on traditional monitors

[prime jasper]

i have a 1050 but got a freesync monitor

[rose eagle]

if you can keep the fps above 144 on BFV @ 1080 that would be ideal and you wouldnt see a huge benefit having a gsync monitor

but thats probably a huge no

your current 1080 monitor has freesync?

[prime jasper]

no its just regular 60hz

no fs

[rose eagle]

whats the question then exactly?

if the monitor is free

[prime jasper]

is the upgrade from the 390x to 1070ti worth it

if im losing the potential use of freesync

from this monitor im getting

[pallid silo]

@rose eagle running occt again but on 3.925ghz instead of 3.95ghz as it kept crashing

[rose eagle]

you most likely wont get above 144hz so it should be quite beneficial, you'd get tearing if you run any games above 144fps is my understanding of it

if you got a 1070 on 60hz monitor you'd start getting lots of tearing and require vsync on which would result in massive input latency

if you stick with the 390 and new monitor you probably will get like what.. not even 60fps in BF:V?

[prime jasper]

a new gpu is always worth it regardless of gsync/freesync issues

the 144hz is what really matters

[rose eagle]

yea i dont think gsync even does anything unless you go over the refresh rate?

or does it kick in only when its below O_o

[prime jasper]

no it syncs the refresh rate to the gpus render rate

[rose eagle]

now im unsure what my gsync is doing 😄

[pallid silo]

I have never used gsync or free sync and never got screen tearing

[rose eagle]

i know i noticed a huge difference going from a 1440p 60hz to 1440p 144hz gsync

whether gsync has any hand in that im unsure, i think it does because i only run BF:V at like 60fps

[prime jasper]

ya i just dont know if the fps boost ill get will make up for the loss of freesync

i mean ican easily run 60fps now but id like to push 144hz

[rose eagle]

low fps on a 144hz i think would cause some problems

[pallid silo]

Just play medium settings

[rose eagle]

even that wont help

i play low settings in BF1 and my 970 still only pushes like 100fps

so i think you still need the 1070ti

[pallid silo]

I get 110 fps on bf1 1060

[prime jasper]

i play med/high and get about 90 on my 390x i think the 1070 could push 120 at least on those settings

[pallid silo]

Ultra on 1060 btw

@prime jasper you could get more on my 1060 I get 110fps on ultra

[prime jasper]

ok, i havent played in a while so i couldnt really judge

[pallid silo]

Fair enough xD

[rose eagle]

my 970 must be broken lol

[pallid silo]

970 is old 1060 is same as a 980

[rose eagle]

1060 is really close to a 970

but thee 6gb may be the kicker

[pallid silo]

It isn't trust me xD I've used a 970 before

[rose eagle]

i mean thats probably all it is

[pallid silo]

A 980 is the same performance (980 has 10fps less) than a 1060

[pallid silo]

That's weird xD

[sour ivy]

pretty positive that the 980 is better lOL

[rose eagle]

ive looked into buying a new card for like months lol

[prime jasper]

the 1070ti isnt too far behind the 1080

[rose eagle]

but the 1080ti smokes everything hard

[prime jasper]

so far i think its worth the upgrade and not having freesync but im just not quite sure

[rose eagle]

90fps on a 144hz vs 60fps on a 144hz, shrug

im honestly not sure, if you plan on wanting to up the settings etc

[pallid silo]

@prime jasper overclock your gpu

[prime jasper]

it is

it was stock oc and i bumped it a little bit

Dude free/gsync is not worth agonizing over for any reason

Especially for a better gpu

its more so a gimmick

you think?

its minimal at best.

but not worth compromising at all

ok thanks

[magic totem]

My 1060 6gb oc does about 60fps 1440p
How do you got 110fps?

[rose eagle]

lies

[magic totem]

I fried one btw, got my 2nd after the 1st got too hot

I don't push that thing too much anymore

[pallid silo]

@magic totem I do 1080p

[magic totem]

Ah yes

That explains

1 screen?

[pallid silo]

3 screens I have running but I only play on 1 monitor

[hushed geyser]

@pallid silo 110 fps in bf1 on ALL ultra with 1060 6gb?

tell me the magic man

[prime jasper]

ok i tested it ultra on my card again and its 110-120 fps on my 390x

in most places

drops down to 90 on the worst bits

[hushed geyser]

do you run 144Hz

[prime jasper]

no 60hz but i will be running 144hz in a couple days

which is why i came here to see if a 1070ti was worth missing the freesync from a new monitor

[hushed geyser]

i get 65-85 most times on 144Hz

[prime jasper]

i think it will be

[hushed geyser]

7820x with 1060 6Gb

[pallid silo]

You just put ultra settings optimize windows I've overclocked my gpu and cpu too

[hushed geyser]

i think I should get higher fps but maybe its the 144hz which gets it down a bit

i just use "overclocked mode" from the gigabyte tool

but its not manually overclocked

my gpu

[rose eagle]

i keep forgetting most people have 1080p

24" 1080p 144hz gsync monitors are super cheap

[pallid silo]

@rose eagle they cost a lot zd

[rose eagle]

like 300 bux for one of the best

[pallid silo]

That's a lot zd

Xd

[rose eagle]

lol i guess, my monitor is 27

paid $350 which was like $250 on sale during last black friday

weird, disco is eating my image paste of a graph saying its bad lol

interesting, it lets me paste it if i add a 2nd graph LOL wtf is it detecting

its pissed if i only paste the green graph image

[steep gust]

@prime jasper beyond 1080p gsync is almost required

1440p 144hz can't be driven consistently in a lot of titles and at 4k its almost required

[prime jasper]

Honestly im not a huge tech dude lol. My opinion was based off my research but didnt mean to sound assholey about it lol

[rose eagle]

yea theres no way my 970 can shove my monitor lol

glad it has gsync

[steep gust]

Yeah you want over 100fps for 144hz

120fps+ is ideal

[rose eagle]

vsync is death

no input penalty is big

[steep gust]

and 40-80fps is were you get the most screen tearing

gsync helps to deal with those problems

[rose eagle]

yea and thats where BF:V runs now x_x

[steep gust]

vsync shouldn't exist tbh

[rose eagle]

haha well thats like sayin a 5 1/4 floppy shouldnt exist ;D

sht had to exist at its time!

[prime jasper]

My bf1 runs at 60-90

[rose eagle]

without vsync back in the day tearing was insane screen page tears lol

[steep gust]

BFV ran over 110fps on average for me at max settings

yeah back in the day

[rose eagle]

1080ti?

[steep gust]

1080

[rose eagle]

1080

p

[steep gust]

8600k @4.9ghz

[rose eagle]

1080 on 1080p? hehe

[steep gust]

duh

[rose eagle]

yea i got my goat with 1440p

but i prefer medium settings so im trying to debate it a 1070ti will be sufficient

[steep gust]

I'll probably get a 1080ti / 2080 and upgrade to 1440p

[prime jasper]

ive honestly never really noticed screen tearing myself, im sure some of yall would notice it right away tho lol

[steep gust]

get a 1080

[rose eagle]

if it drops to $350 id consider one

[steep gust]

1070ti shouldn't exist

[rose eagle]

1070ti and 1080 are like the same card, but there are some better 1070 ti's

really just depends what kind of deals are running on which cards

[prime jasper]

yall think the 2070 will be cheaper than the 1080 tho?

[steep gust]

they aren't the same card

[rose eagle]

yes

[steep gust]

and the MSRPs for RTX have been posted

[prime jasper]

at least the 1080ti

[rose eagle]

2070 should be $500

but it may not out perform a 1080

[prime jasper]

Yea I saw.

[rose eagle]

def not a 1080ti

not holding my breath

[prime jasper]

Honestly I need a whole new rig but thats nowhere in my sights financially right now

[rose eagle]

i feel like perf will be 1070ti > 1080 > 2070 > 1080ti > ..

[prime jasper]

But im happy with my cheapass build

[rose eagle]

lol i still got a 3770k rockin

i need a whole new rig as well

a new cpu would only net me like 10% boost in raw fps so its pointless to drop $800

[steep gust]

1070ti has less CUDA cores and slower memory

pay the $50 more at best to get a 1080

[rose eagle]

budget max 350!

hard cap

forever

[steep gust]

1080s have hit $350

[rose eagle]

they went back up

[steep gust]

wait for RTX and buy a used one for real cheap

[rose eagle]

ew

card needs to last like 4 yrs

[steep gust]

uh

the biggest issue with used GPUs is fan wear

[rose eagle]

when you're married with a kid you gotta buy stuff for 5 year plan lol

i dont trust any used cards after what ive returned lol

[prime jasper]

I need a new cpu, power supp and in order to do that id need a new mobo lol

[rose eagle]

like buying a used car

"should" be ok

someone may have driven it into the dirt though

or tried to cryptomine 24/7

[steep gust]

cryptomining doesn't damage GPUs if they are properly cooled

[rose eagle]

properly x_x

[steep gust]

might cause fan wear

[rose eagle]

b stock on evga website is same damn price

[steep gust]

but you can buy replacement fans for cheap

[rose eagle]

1080s new are still like $550

1070ti barely has less CUDA, the 1080ti is fkin nutballs insane

2432 > 2560 > 3584

[prime jasper]

screen tearing was the main reason iwas worried earlier

never had it before so i dont know how bad it is

[rose eagle]

do you not get above 60fps now and notice tearing?

[steep gust]

get a 144hz monitor and try to run a game with an fps between 40-80

[prime jasper]

not that ive noticed

[steep gust]

You will notice it

make sure to disable adaptive sync, etc in NVidia control panel

[rose eagle]

the worst scenario is above the monitor refresh isnt it?

i think we're unsure of the effects of 60-90fps on a 144hz non gsync/freesync monitor

less worse than above

never been below a monitor refresh and not had gsync

[prime jasper]

I do that with most of my games and dont really notice it

I'll pay closer attention and see

[rose eagle]

1070ti with 144hz non gsync would prob not be a waste

[steep gust]

both going far below your monitor refresh rate and above will cause screen tearing

[rose eagle]

bf1?

[steep gust]

I don't have issues with CSGO at 300fps on a 144hz monitor

[rose eagle]

non gsync?

[steep gust]

but I also don't care about the visuals when playing a competitive game so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

yeah no gsync

I'm poor

and since the gsync module alone is like $150 or $200 for manufactures

[rose eagle]

pff ive got a 970

[steep gust]

pff I got a 1080

on the cheapest 1080p 1m 144hz monitor at the time

colors are not that bad tbh

[prime jasper]

@steep gust Bet that one was an Acer or AOC lol

[steep gust]

Acer

they all use the same panel so it doesn't really matter

[prime jasper]

Seems like tons of people have that one cheap acer 144hz lol

Im on the HP Omen 25 144hz

[steep gust]

well 144hz is 144hz

so if you don't care about the color quality and just need a 144hz monitor they are the best

[prime jasper]

Mine was on the cheaper side too but the program it came with (tho it looks outdated) works great and my colors are amazing

I didnt know the glory of sharpness either until then

[steep gust]

I'd love to get a good 1080p high refresh rate monitor with gsync for a second monitor

1440p 144hz and a 1080p 240hz or something like that

[prime jasper]

my 2nd is my old acer 60hz

I just use it for discord, twitch, etc

[sour ivy]

I

[lofty light]

I've got two secondary 144hz 1080p monitors because they're matching

I care about aesthetics 😛

[steep gust]

I would if I had the money

[lofty light]

Oh I don't have the money, any more at least

[prime jasper]

@prime jasper Same, i have a color accurate 60hz monitor as a second monitor, there really isnt that much value of getting a 60+hz as a secondary monitor

Im not playing two games so no point in the 144 for my 2nd lol

[lofty light]

I use my secondaries for LAN's as my main monitor is a huge ultrawide

[rose eagle]

Yea I got two 1440p monitors but I do Dev work so it's nice to have matching

One is just a 60hz though

Sometimes I get weird mouse swimming on the 60

[prime jasper]

@rose eagle Same, the other 60hz is for developing software : D

[plain quiver]

whats vsync for

i mean, i thought, with lcd screens or well, the todays screens vsync isnt neccessary

[north crow]

some sync tech is still necessary to avoid tearing, be that vsync, gsync, or adaptive sync/freesync

[prime jasper]

@plain quiver essential any sync tech is used for when your gpu is pushing out frames & the screen refresh rate get out of alignment

It’s there to smooth out any artefacts that appear I.e. tearing

[steep root]

It cant be only me that never really saw tearings

V-sync off in any and everygame that I play

[prime jasper]

Some never notice, some do

Same with dead pixels

[steep root]

I dont think I ever had a dead pixel before the monitor im using

And fuck that 1 pixel

Just knowing it is there makes me mind it even more

[rose eagle]

I'll take tearing over horrible input delay but luckily we don't have to deal with either anymore ;p

[short crypt]

anyone preordered one of the new iphones?

[sour ivy]

Lol

Imagine buying a phone with no headphone jack

[short crypt]

Its still a nice phone tho

I bought both lmao

Note 9 512 gb and iPhone xs max just 64 gb tho

I wonder do you get the iphone wireless ear things included ?

[sour ivy]

No

Lol

[short crypt]

Ohh so u aint getting any headsets or Whatever included oh well lmao

[sour ivy]

That's a wired one

[short crypt]

Ahhh

Okay

[sour ivy]

And you have to buy a dongle this year

It's ridiculous

[short crypt]

I bought gold color by mistake ill just keep it

Looks pretty cool compared to the old gold colors lol

[raw turtle]

@short crypt do u have too much money lol?

[rose eagle]

i could use $5

[short crypt]

I save up and spend them wisely (most of the times) xD

[rose eagle]

you're either rich or single

even if you're rich and married with a kid you still dont get to buy anything

[raw turtle]

married with a kid

[rose eagle]

🤔

[short crypt]

😂

[rose eagle]

no worries im not in arkansas

that would add up, rich married with a kid = in jail no access to funds

[raw turtle]

I ordered iPhone 6s

[rose eagle]

did you dig it out of a garbage dump?

[raw turtle]

No

[rose eagle]

i think that's the min requirements for targeting by Unity now

game dev

thats odd there's still any stock of those anywhere no refurb

[raw turtle]

New with ovp

300€

The seller had just 10

[rose eagle]

when is 1070ti going to be $350, cmon already

[raw turtle]

2 month ago I bought 1060

And I'm happy

[short crypt]

decent cards for most games

[raw turtle]

Yeah

But my cpu

[short crypt]

What cpu do you got

[rose eagle]

my issue is requiring something to push 1440p

this is why min requirements for games is kinda dumb, they need to list the resolution that will push

[raw turtle]

I54690k

[rose eagle]

recommended is 1060 for BF:V but that wont even push 1440p

[raw turtle]

Need to oc it

[rose eagle]

because my 970 is basically same perf as a 1060

i mean itll push it, but 40-60fps isnt acceptable

< 100 isnt acceptable ;P

[raw turtle]

Isn't the 1060 like a 980?

[rose eagle]

nah

[short crypt]

yeah could upgrade the cpu

[rose eagle]

1060 is about 5% better

[short crypt]

i have two rigs, main with 1080 ti and 6900k cpu and other with 970 and 6700k

[rose eagle]

the newer i5s are great

can you just upgrade the cpu or what socket is that

LGA 1150?

[raw turtle]

1150 I think

[rose eagle]

darn

;P

same here

[raw turtle]

Isn't oc enough

[rose eagle]

i got a first gen 3770k i7

but it is only off on battlefield benchmarks at 1440p 10%

[raw turtle]

I mean if I can push it to 4 ghz

[rose eagle]

from an 8700k

[raw turtle]

It has 3.5 stock hasn't it?

[rose eagle]

yea i got mine pushed about 25% OC

[raw turtle]

Can someone help me with oc then?

Never oc ma cpu

[rustic hinge]

There’s a bunch of tutorials online. I’d search up your processor, then ‘overclock’. Make sure you watch from a reliable channel though.

Overclocking your CPU is pretty easy, but takes time, so be very patient

If not, you could get unstable, which is never good

Also, check full load temps to determine if you can even overclock at all.

[rose eagle]

mine is limited by voltage primarily, just pushing the cpu

you can get away with a cheap Coolermaster 212 Evo on some cpus

[atomic bramble]

@rose eagle

GX?

lol

[rose eagle]

they forgot a T?

[atomic bramble]

yup

[rustic hinge]

No, it was short for Gaming X which is MSI’s marketing label

[steep gust]

@rustic hinge don't use someone else's overclock to overclock your CPU

Overclocking CPUs is pretty easy if you aren't going for high multipliers that involve changing BIOS settings

[rustic hinge]

@steep gust I’m not using someone else’s overclock preset. I overclocked on my own, and I got my own results. 4.4GHz at 1.24V. When did I say I was using some else’s overclock? Where did you get that from? I was simply suggesting overclocking tutorials meant to show you how the process of overclocking your CPU goes.

[raw turtle]

Thanks, I will give it a try

[rustic hinge]

Yeah, and make sure to not use other people’s overclock settings. BetrayedPredator misread it so I want to clarify.

[steep gust]

Watching someone's video on how to overclock your CPU is bound to cause you to try their settings

I'd recommend he learns what overclocking is and how it works

Then how voltage, etc plays into it

[rose eagle]

crank er to max V for that cpu and walk er down!

i didnt spend very much time on mine, just let the mobo do the work but i have a solid one

puffed up the max mult and the voltage appears to regulate itself

[steep gust]

that only works if your cooler is solid

[rose eagle]

its just a 212 EVO, $20 😉

[steep gust]

But your CPU is older right?

[rose eagle]

yea ancient i7

[steep gust]

My 212 wouldn't take the 1.3v+ my mobo would toss into my 8600k to get it to 5.0ghz

[rose eagle]

itll hit 75c but vcore is 1.21

[steep gust]

Yeah my 8600k only peaks into the high 60s during gaming

[rose eagle]

it could go higher but i wasnt going to pay $90 for a cooler

[steep gust]

Its nice

I will

[rustic hinge]

No it doesn’t.

[rose eagle]

yea i doubt it goes to 75c gaming, OCCT will destroy your cpu

[steep gust]

Since I plan to get a 9900k

and it has a soldered IHS

so it'll be an overclocking DREAM

[rustic hinge]

As long as you look at tutorials, you will be fine.

[rose eagle]

i dont like to OC, i am just squeezing more out of this 3770k til she's obsolete 😉

[steep gust]

overclocking is fun

[rose eagle]

not when you cant afford what you already purchased lol

i have had this cpu since 2012

[steep gust]

I got my 8600k to 5.514ghz and it BSOD right after the benchmark

[rose eagle]

i was looking into an 8600k but after tons of research, at 1440p theres not enough diff from my i7

[steep gust]

in the titles you want

[rose eagle]

at 1080p possibly

[rustic hinge]

I have no idea where you got the overclocking presets from

[steep gust]

motherboard?

My BIOS has a 5.0ghz preset

and other auto overclock shit

[rustic hinge]

No, you assumed I was using presets, idk how that came into play

[quaint topaz]

https://videocardz.com/77983/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-and-rtx-2080-official-performance-unveiled

Impressive numbers tbh honest

[real bramble]

Lets wait for 1080p/1440p benchmarks with actual 1080ti's

of course these will be faster in 4k due to bandwith alone

[steep gust]

Without driver support we can't get actual benchmarks @quaint topaz

and some of their numbers seem off

Currently RTX is a really nice paperweight that can drive a monitor and that is it

Windows loses it fucking mind if you plug a GPU in without drivers

The amount of popups I got with my 1080 while trying to download the drivers was 👌

[rose eagle]

Really hoping 2070 beats a 1080 non ti or matches it so it drives down prices

Should be really damn close

[steep gust]

1080s were $400 and below around the RTX reveal

[sour ivy]

I could've got a 1080 for 100 more than my 1060

:(

[steep gust]

and I could have gotten a 1080 for $250 less than I paid

does it matter

ehh not really

[surreal compass]

@rose eagle the 2070 is expected to outperform a 1080

remember, its a name switchup

2080ti = titan card, 2080 = xx80ti and so forth

[steep gust]

No?

There will be an RTX Titan

Nvidia just skipped the first few months of not releasing the TI version like they normally do

It wouldn't make sense for the 2070 to not beat the 1080

It has faster memory and isn't 3(?) years old

[wispy kindle]

I have to reboot the game every time it happens, kinda sucks

happens like every 40 minutes

[dim knoll]

i said bungee

not mouse

I already have a good mouse

but the cougar bunker mouse bungee doesn't fit my G403 cable

[steep gust]

Have you tried amazon?

[dim knoll]

amazon doesn't recommend

it's a place to buy

i have to know which one i should buy first

[steep gust]

Find it on amazon by going through the top rated ones

There is a lot of them and they are pretty much all the same

[dim knoll]

Amazon is not a reliable place to find good tech if it's recommended by themself

i want a trusty website for recommendations

amazon is only trustworthy for buying stuff

[steep gust]

You aren't buying tech so good for you

[dim knoll]

What?

A mouse bungee is still tech

[steep gust]

https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=mouse cord holder

Plenty of choices that should fit your mouse cable thickness

aight so anyone play bf1 on 8gb of dual channel ram? its stuttering real bad and at this point i highly doubt its my cpu since ive overclocked it again

might just bite the bullet and pay exuberant amounts of money for more ram

[rustic hinge]

@prime jasper Check Ram, CPU, and GPU usages amd temperature with MSI Afterburner or something else

[prime jasper]

im gunna try either afterburner or cam

[rustic hinge]

Afternurner

Cam is a hot mess

[wet notch]

speedfan works fine too, i only use it to measure temperatures tho

[prime jasper]

aight, i hope thats gunna give me the answers i seek

[dim knoll]

8 GB ram shouldn't be much of an issue tbh

That is if its not knockoff Chinese ram you found on alibaba

Oh wait

Dual channel

I've only used DDR4 so I can't help you man

[prime jasper]

i just dont wanna go out and pay $70 for decent ddr3 ram to match what i have now

[dim knoll]

If you're going to spend money you might as well buy DDR4

[prime jasper]

that would mean i gotta jump ship to lga1151

[proven stratus]

hi anyone wanna play bf1

[dim knoll]

Hmm true

Is there a cheap replacement for the Corsair K70 already?

I'm bored of the red leds

I should've bought the RGB option

[steep gust]

DDR4 is DDR4

They have to follow the spec set out by whoever actually owns the rights to it

@prime jasper You should be able to find two 4gb sticks of DDR3 for cheap off of ebay

It'll run at 1333mhz at a the highest timing but its better than 8gb of ram

The stuttering is from your CPU pulling files from your storage into RAM since you don't have enough to store it all

I can run Rainbow Six Siege on Low-Medium graphics, so would I be able to play Battlefield 1 on my pc? I don’t have the best laptop.

I don’t know what my specs are

So

[steep gust]

Find the specs

Model number should be on the bottom

[prime jasper]

I already know it’s under the recommended specs but it works fine with Rainbow Six Siege

[steep gust]

You need to find the specs

It wouldn't be that hard

Use the serial number / model number / etc on it or something like hardware info and see the specs

[prime jasper]

@steep gust

[steep gust]

oof

[prime jasper]

Ik

[steep gust]

You need a dedicated GPU

and not a dual core

[prime jasper]

So, I wouldn’t be able to play it even on the lowest settings?

[steep gust]

Maybe at like 250p

But even at 720p I doubt you'd get a playable FPS

[prime jasper]

Rip

[quaint topaz]

New desk is installed. Still waiting for my PC parts. Thoughts?

[glossy cove]

👌

[plain quiver]

nice @quaint topaz u even have bf5 ;D

[dim knoll]

I wish I had an RGB K70 and not red led

[quaint topaz]

I have the K30 lul

[dim knoll]

I might just buy a new keyboard

I want to save up for the K95 RGB Platinum

But I'm in the progress of renovating my room upstairs so it would take a while

[winged tapir]

@quaint topaz where is my launchpad 😭
