#

they would use the same amount of elec, your house bill etc?

#

mm..

#

nickle and diming budget is all im addressing

unborn epoch
#

there's a handy site that does calculations for you

rose eagle
#

we got a pool and that fkd the elec bill

unborn epoch
#

just pee in it more often

#

keeps the heating cost down

rose eagle
#

sweet ill get all the neighbors to participate

unborn epoch
#

free energy'

rose eagle
#

what if i put 2 quieter fans on the 212 evo vs the 82cfm one? like two 50 cfms

#

i guess one would blow in and one take off?

#

zip tie and split the PWM slot to 2

unborn epoch
#

dual fan does work but doesn't have a great effect

rose eagle
#

actually i think this board has 2 cpu fan ports

unborn epoch
#

get a better fan that delivers more pressure

rose eagle
#

i guess i can just throttle this fan to see what a 50 cfm would do..

unborn epoch
#

or just clock down a little if you dont want your pc to be a firepit

rose eagle
#

adding a 2nd is more like +20% ?

unborn epoch
#

less

rose eagle
#

that defeats the purpose of hanging onto this old 3770k beasty ๐Ÿ˜„

#

honestly the OC isnt even a huge temp raiser

unborn epoch
#

100mhz wont affect you much but will take down temperature by a shitton

rose eagle
#

the bitch ran like 70c stock cooler non OC

unborn epoch
#

ya stock

#

because literally a piece of wood will cool better

rose eagle
#

"daddy come on ihave a surprise for you"

#

afk 20 minutes kicking kids ass

#

lol

#

good ole 1440p gaming, when an 8600k can hang on 100% with a 9900K

#

as we get towards cpu's not mattering anymore, i need to see min fps results.. seeing a huge list of 40 CPUs all within 10% doesnt help

unborn epoch
#

ya blame consoles holding us back

#

cock

#

my headphones just died

steep gust
#

Minimum, average, 98%, frame times, etc. for comparisons

#

@unborn epoch consoles actually help the industry by having an easily accessible product into the market thonk

#

@rose eagle

Fun fact

CPU load changes with framerate (and a little bit on settings, but not really) and less of resolution

Driving 1080p 144fps is around the same load as 4k 144fps for a CPU

#

Sure if you are okay with going from 1080p 144h to 4k 60hz, then CPUs don't matter

unborn epoch
#

we need more power hungry games

#

more physics d000d

#

more ai d000d

#

let our hardware swear for a change besides wanting it to be ablet oplay games and encode 16k video

#

sweat*

#

games sure as hell don't

steep gust
#

Uh what

#

Go buy a 4k 144hz monitor

#

Then say your hardware isn't pushed to its limit

unborn epoch
#

ya sure, my gpu is

#

cpu not so much

steep gust
#

Or set up cascade cooling and run it daily to overclock to the silicon limit

#

Dude

#

CPU has everything to do with maximum framerate

#

It provides your GPU with what to render, if it cant keep up your framerate shits itself

unborn epoch
#

pretty sure its the other way around

#

gpu can't handle high frames, less cpu load

#

my 7700k goes up to 50% at 200 fps in bf1

#

put those other 50% to use by introducing whatever, nakes girls

#

i dont care

steep gust
#

Uh no

Then your GPU ends up pegged at 100% while your CPU is fine

It's how playing at 4k right now is (on a non 2080ti)

But if you go to 1080p. Then your CPU is pinned at 100% while GPU isn't

#

Your 7700k is at 50% because hyperthreading optimization generally doesn't exist for games

So it'll pin the 4 physical cores and let the 4 'virtual cores' do nothing.

Now hyper threading really just splits a physical core and forces it to do more work instead of adding more threads

unborn epoch
#

thanks for proving my point

#

DEVS4PCSUPERIORITY

steep gust
#

What

#

PC 'master race' has Intel and Nvidia bending consumers backwards for profit since no competition in some markets.

While console has to remain competitive to stay relevant

unborn epoch
#

i'd agree when talking about nvidia at the moment

#

but really, not even nvidia's fault.

#

amd is to blame here, or intel for not entering the gpu market

#

selling shit hardware for cheap, so good

steep gust
#

What

#

AMD has good budget GPUs. They don't have the budget to do everything from CPUs to GPUs

#

Its nvidia's fault for caring more about money than innovative

Pascal was priced the same as Maxwell (generally) yet there was no competition

#

And had huge performance gains

unborn epoch
#

Shit reasoning. Tell that to ati when they released the 9700pro

#

Hire higher skilled architects stop with the budget mindset

rose eagle
#

RTX was a huge R&D change and much more into it than just squeezing more out of a smaller chip

#

do we need it? prob not, prob too early, niche target

raw turtle
#

Bf v and ryzen 7 2700x: pls give me ur opinion

prime jasper
#

I have that CPU & a GTX1070ti, 100fps here & there, but dips were real

red ingot
#

although there'll be more optimization after the game releases

raw turtle
#

I have i5 4690k at 4.2 ghz with 1060 and this was hard already

red ingot
#

yeah a 1060 might be kinda rough for bfv

#

should still get 60fps tho

raw turtle
#

I thinl 1060 is totally enough

red ingot
#

just maybe not any 144hz magic ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

yeah no for 60fps you'll be fine

raw turtle
#

But my cpu is :/

red ingot
#

but not for high refresh rates

#

and I mean your CPU is okay

raw turtle
#

Mh

red ingot
#

tbh it shouldn't be a bottleneck on a 1060

#

if u had like a 1080 then maybe

#

but imo pretty on par

raw turtle
#

But i want tje ryzen 7 2700x and new ram, i have 8gb ddr3 now and want 16gb ddr 4

red ingot
#

ah

#

yeah I wanna upgrade too (on a 4770k) but that means I need a new mobo & ram as well..

#

expensive :/

#

i mean my CPU is still good but i mean it could be better lol

raw turtle
#

Yeah i then i need a new mainboard aswell. And i eant a new case

red ingot
#

xD

raw turtle
#

I wait for blackfriday

red ingot
#

same here man

#

i'm probably gonna wait till black friday 2019 - this year I'm getting a new monitor

raw turtle
#

Im at ~580 โ‚ฌ rn

red ingot
#

damn

raw turtle
#

Ah a new monitor

red ingot
#

yeah maybe getting all that this black friday might not be worth it

#

if you're already negative

raw turtle
#

I NEED MORE MONEY

red ingot
#

xD

#

๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ’ธ

#

here take this

raw turtle
#

I could buy ot now but i mean the discount would be nice

#

If its like 50-80 euro

#

Thx dude

red ingot
#

lol

#

np

rose eagle
#

if you were going to buy a new cpu cooler and front 140mm fans why would you not just get a $120 AIO closed loop?

#

the noctua costs like $80 + $30 for front fans.. same cost?

#

vs big ass bulky heatsink

unborn epoch
#

aio is ass

#

aio is nice for gpus though

rose eagle
#

For actual performance?

#

I don't think 2070 will OC at all if cooler

#

Just not an oc'er so I'll leave this big ass Evo in here then ๐Ÿ˜

#

It's got a factory oc of 90 + 125 I've got stable on it just with the EVGA tool and 800mhz on ram which is like a total of 8.7% bonus

unborn epoch
#

just for noise alone

#

unless you buy a 9900k or something stupid, i dont think you need watercooling for cpu

#

custom loops look dope as hell though

#

and can be very quiet and perform amazingly

red ingot
#

watercooling isn't necessarily noisy

#

unless i'm misunderstanding what u meant

#

and yeah, custom loops are sexy af, just expensive ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

unborn epoch
#

custom loops should be silent

#

since you have more room to put fans

#

at a much lower rpm = less noise

red ingot
#

hm

#

but as in a watercooler (not custom) would not make any more noise than an air-cooler no?

prime raptor
#

bit air should be quieter then your average aio

#

now those big ass 360mm ones are different

rose eagle
#

That makes little sense I guess because the aio I'm looking at has two 140mm fans

#

And you mount it in the front.. And I just installed 2 140mm fans in the front

#

So why would the aio be noisier? Same cost as noctua plus the front fans

unborn epoch
#

aio pumps are often terrible

queen field
#

Water = bad
Air = good

#

Wait what

languid acorn
#

You wouldn't inhale water would you?

queen field
#

Exactly

#

You're @languid acorn who thinks like I do

languid acorn
#

Great minds think alike

rose eagle
#

the beast through my new see through window is just massive ๐Ÿ˜„

#

if i were starting a brand new build i was just curious

#

if you were going to spend $120 on 2 front case fans and the noctua cpu cooler vs $120 on an AIO that looks 10x sexier..

#

im still not seeing the argument against aio ๐Ÿ˜„

unborn epoch
#

i just told you

#

aio pumps are often noisy

#

but if you got a kid screaming in your ear all the time I guess sound doesn't really matter.

rose eagle
#

Lol if I'm annoyed by the 80cfm fan of the 212 Evo eh

#

It's fking 36db

rose eagle
#

well shit thats not having any impact

#

its def a 4 pin fan plugged into the only 4 pin cpu fan port

unborn epoch
#

Can you set fan control to DC?

#

Even though pwm should work

rose eagle
#

nah theres just this weird cryptic "Target Temp" "Target Speed" 1-9

#

so i set it to 50c and 4 and now it's like 1500rpm vs 2080 idle

#

what should you cpu fan be while idle?

#

1500rpm is still like 30db

#

my case fans are all 19-20db

#

so this cpu fan is a bamboozle

unborn epoch
#

180-250

rose eagle
#

id have to knock it down to 1000rpm

unborn epoch
#

Depending on quality of the fan

rose eagle
#

250 rpm??

unborn epoch
#

Sure

rose eagle
#

it does 600-2000 looks

unborn epoch
#

Scam

rose eagle
#

so i need ti change the bios to make it bottom out somehow..

unborn epoch
#

In that case 600

#

Not all fans can go that low

rose eagle
#

i think it goes full tilt at the target temp mark..

#

im very fkin confused at this bios

red ingot
#

ah i used to have a 212 evo

unborn epoch
#

Idk man

red ingot
#

just buy a new fan for it - buy a silent edition or something. The one it comes with by default is a solid fan but kinda noisy yah

unborn epoch
#

Download speedfan

rose eagle
#

ok i got it

#

just taking 200 reboots

#

down to 1000rpm, its pretty silent now

#

one more attempt!

#

i dont mind the full load noise.. usually too involved in whatever im doing to notice

#

but sitting here just working normally is annoying

#

wew 800rpm

#

ok thats not working as intended... occt is burning cpu and its staying at 800rpm ๐Ÿ˜„

#

ah no there she goes, 1100rpm

#

welp thats enough a victory for the night

rose eagle
#

@steep gust "Driving 1080p 144fps is around the same load as 4k 144fps for a CPU" I mean yes the problem is the video card required to drive 4k isnt available yet for 144fps so "right now" theres no point upgrading say even a Gen 1 i7 if that's your goal.

#

some day when we can drive 144fps 4k then im sure we will need a CPU that has yet to exist ;D

north crow
#

that's a thicc database server

prime jasper
#

buy scythe slip stream 120-140mm 2k rpm fans. noisy but hella of a perf. nearly identical to noctua ppc-3000's.

unborn epoch
#

buy delta fans, noisy but hella performance

prime jasper
queen field
#

buy maglev fans, expensive but hella of a performance

#

wot's noise btw

rose eagle
#

i like these sexy Orange and black Cougar brand fans @storm osprey suggested ;D

#

the Corsair RGB 120mm dont have very good tech specs..

#

i guess most 120s dont compare to 140s

storm osprey
#

cougar vortex fans, a hidden treasure imo

rose eagle
#

hidden in plain sight with 332 reviews, 5 egg for the 140mm's

#

๐Ÿ˜„

storm osprey
#

people just buy corsair, noctua, or cooler master all the time

#

cougar makes some good stuff, some things are pretty meh though

rose eagle
#

thermaltake!

storm osprey
#

yea even thermaltake is ahead of cougar

#

and i think cougar is as good as corsair, and a budget noctua

green nebula
#

Main reason people really like Corsair is there aesthetic.

storm osprey
#

its just the go to brand

#

at least their performance is solid so i cant complain

rose eagle
#

im not a risk taker

#

i do have a Corsair k70 lux

#

$$

storm osprey
#

im a slight risk taker

#

ill get the 2nd or 3rd recommended thing

#

basically ill get anything over corsair

rose eagle
#

well, i guess im bipolar in risk taking.. normally 100% risk averse but when im pushed then ill choose tech over used ๐Ÿ˜„

#

cause i had a 970 and did the most risky as fk thing and bought a 2070

#

and have BSOD'd daily due to it lol

storm osprey
#

ohhh lame

#

the 2070 is giving you bsod?

rose eagle
#

cant think of why anything else would be

#

def started on 2070 install

#

havent done a full driver wipe with guru3d yet

storm osprey
#

hmm thats super weird

rose eagle
#

is it? yea ok i guess if its not normal i should try to figure it out

storm osprey
#

i mean, gpus are pretty compatible, and i havent heard of adding one that gives bsod

unborn epoch
#

you haven't format yet?

#

what are you, an amateur?

red ingot
#

Well if I were you I'd try to figure out the issue quick, cause usually if its defective u can get a direct exchange through the retailer within 30 days of purchase rather than an RMA (which usually takes longer). So then less downtime

rose eagle
#

i know, i formatted the night before.. nub

unborn epoch
#

do it again

#

don't rely on some scrub ass 3rd party program

rose eagle
#

i would def have to reformat before determining anything ๐Ÿ˜„

#

not in the mood again atm

#

the only other thing that changed is im using dport + hdmi to my 2nd monitor instead of dport + dvi-d

#

since the 2070 has no dvi

#

buttload of nvlddmkm errors

unborn epoch
#

ya just format

rose eagle
#

everyone on 1803 w10?

storm osprey
#

idk what im on

unborn epoch
#

no i dea

#

how do I even check that

#

it says build 17134

rose eagle
#

right click start > System

#

Version 1803?

unborn epoch
#

oh right

rose eagle
#

im assuming 17134.345

unborn epoch
#

version 1803

rose eagle
#

yarp..

unborn epoch
#

installed on 10/29/2018

rose eagle
#

it BSODs while just sitting in windows

unborn epoch
#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rose eagle
#

it hasnt actually crashed yet while playing a game

#

haha freshly built usb eh? ;D

unborn epoch
#

ya

rose eagle
#

seems to not be a rare issue

#

glad the nerds are on it for repro cases

storm osprey
#

cant wait for my aliaz mech switches

rose eagle
#

hmm how new is iCue from Corsair.. i dont recall having this before my reformat

#

just some older named software for my k70 lux

#

and some corsair util is stopping unexpectedly constantly in my win10 reliability log

rose eagle
#

i just uninstalled icue 2 which i did not have before and installed the older Cue2 software

#

see what happens..

green nebula
#

I had the same fucking issues with corsairs software, till i realized there was a newer version of the software which solved everything

rose eagle
#

lol the new iCue is possibly what caused all my problems

#

i went back to the basic Cue2

green nebula
#

iCue solved everything for me.

rose eagle
#

you were BSOD'ing on CUE?

#

lol maybe its just a reinstall problem

green nebula
#

Well BSOD happened one.

#

The other problems were drivers crashing a lot

rose eagle
#

i looked at my Reliability log in win10 and its just riddled with iCue stopped working shit

#

will see what happens through tomorrow evening

#

i bsod daily so far after reformatting my PC and putting in my 2070

#

i was blaming it of course

green nebula
#

oof

#

PS: Don't suppose you can send a screenshots of View Technical details ?

lofty light
#

Well the game isn't out

#

So who knows really, but I don't think that will make it there on ultra

wispy wing
#

980ti is somewhat = 1070. I got 100fps on ultra 1080p in beta with1070 and i5 8400 6 core. 2400mhz ram. But you're on 1440p with lower freq ram . So I will only guess u will get around 60 fps.

#

@somber tendon ^

somber tendon
#

hmm interesting

#

thx for the answer

rose eagle
#

1440p is like at least a 30% hit

#

i have a 970 and got 50-80fps in beta

#

on mixed lower settings

zenith cave
#

hey guys would an i7 3rd gen would run well with bfv?

unborn epoch
#

Should run fine depending on gpu

zenith cave
#

Got a 960 GTX

#

a bit old but it run well w/ BF1

rose eagle
#

bfv ran 30% worse in beta than 1 for me but that should be curbed a bit by release

storm osprey
#

@zenith cave what resolution?

rose eagle
#

my psu finally arrived .. lol

#

aholes

storm osprey
#

jesus christ

rose eagle
#

good thing i didnt wait

#

get to rip out the old non modular one now!

storm osprey
#

god i hate non modular

rose eagle
#

its fking crammed in there so tight, i barely got the back door shut

storm osprey
#

lol modular should help a lot with that

rose eagle
#

no reliability errors today

#

after uninstalling iCUE

storm osprey
#

what is icue?

rose eagle
#

corsair's software for their devices

#

seems the new win10 hates it

#

i bet it's not widely known since only new users would realize to get it

#

the existing software doesnt upgrade to it

#

so i had an older version from 2 yrs ago when i got this kb and it was up to date.. but yea this new one is spamming errors and if that was the BSOD cause.. x_x

#

such shit timing with upgrading to a 2070 not knowing

storm osprey
#

lol wtf

#

that doesnt make sense though

#

the error you posted i googled it the other day and it was an nvidia driver problem

rose eagle
#

yea but ive read its insanely generic

#

and they dont claim ownership of it

storm osprey
#

wtf

#

thats weird

#

nvidia and corsair dont play well together?

rose eagle
#

its only been a day so ill have to see

#

if by this weekend zero BSODs im callin it

storm osprey
#

thatll be some some shit

#

(another reason to not get corsair)

rose eagle
#

boo, is so sexy ๐Ÿ˜„

storm osprey
#

meh

rose eagle
#

i bet you buy offbrand BBQ sauce also!!!!!!!!

#

you sick bastard

storm osprey
#

lol i dont know the last time i got bbq sauce

#

but i always get a1

#

when i do get some

rose eagle
#

throws glass against wall

storm osprey
#

lol is a1 bad?

rose eagle
#

who the hell is making such crap steak you gotta put a1 on it

storm osprey
#

my dad

rose eagle
#

oops

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

is it medium rare filet/tbone/ribeye?

storm osprey
#

he likes it still bleeding so that shits rare

#

bleh

rose eagle
#

well then it should be great!

storm osprey
#

disgusting

rose eagle
#

but it needs to be one of the cuts listed

#

you make him cook yours with no pink?

storm osprey
#

oh i dont mind pink, but when you cut into his steak it literally pools blood at the cut spots

rose eagle
#

i mean, if it doesnt pool up blood sitting on your plate it belongs in the trash

storm osprey
#

lol thats just gross

rose eagle
#

does he use a1?

storm osprey
#

errr, i dont recall

#

i havent lived with my dad for 5 years now?

rose eagle
#

salt + pepper all a steak needs grilled

#

did he grill on charcoal or gas?

storm osprey
#

gas

rose eagle
#

poop

#

i live in oklahoma, we take our meat very seriously ๐Ÿ˜„

#

and grilling

#

yea a1 is like taboo, you know that "get a rope" salsa commercial they used to have?

#

we'd prob do that with a1 users here

red ingot
#

Hey majicpanda, you were having issues with your 2070 right?

rose eagle
#

maybe

#

but it may be my iCUE Corsair software

red ingot
#

Ah

rose eagle
#

i uninstalled it and am waiting patiently for a BSOD

red ingot
#

Okay cause I just saw this article (will link) and I thought of u

storm osprey
#

i live in az, so its not very meat focused i guess, im hispanic so its mostly mixed with soemthing else

red ingot
#

Like I mean it talks about 2080ti but you're having similar issues

#

Assuming it's likely an issue with all the Turing cards

#

Turns out you're not the only one having issues..

rose eagle
#

yea those fkin 2080Ti run so damn hot

#

i mean i only BSOD

#

hopefully nothing wrong with the card

red ingot
#

only

rose eagle
#

my PC doesnt "lock up"

#

i know that feeling, when your game freezes

red ingot
#

only bsod as if its nbd lol

rose eagle
#

this is actually just sitting in windows

#

BSOD

#

its a driver issue but i really think it's Corsair's fault

red ingot
#

Huh

rose eagle
#

and/or the newest Win10 build + Corsair

red ingot
#

Maybe

#

U tried uninstalling the corsair stuff?

rose eagle
#

if i dont BSOD by this weekend it is 100% Corsair's fault

#

yea

red ingot
#

Ah ok

rose eagle
#

i downgraded to the one i had before reformat yesterday

red ingot
#

Yeah might be compatibility issue

rose eagle
#

and waiting

red ingot
#

Since the cards new

rose eagle
#

all the reliability monitor stuff is gone, no more errors on the older sw

red ingot
#

Older corsair software has no issues?

#

Odd

#

Maybe just a bugged build in general

rose eagle
#

my event viewer was spamming with nvlddmkm errros

#

not all cause BSOD

#

but since i uninstaleld iCUE those are also gone

#

sooo...

red ingot
#

Vlddkmkm?

rose eagle
#

"This error occurs when your computer thinks that you graphics card has stopped responding, mainly due to a low frame rate. The program that controls this is called "Timeout detection and recovery." The error is very vague, and doesn't correlate to one problem."

red ingot
#

Ah I see

#

"Due to low frame rate"

#

bsod if below 60fps

#

XD

rose eagle
#

so, it's a bit coincidental that all those errors stopped when i uninstalled ICUE

#

dont ya think

#

im in IT, i dont take any error at face value ;P

#

most people would probably be slamming nvidia for this and RTX

red ingot
#

True

#

Tbh I probably would've

#

I'd be pissed if my brand new card wasnt working

rose eagle
#

buying the highest end of anything is poor

#

2070 was risky, but the top end is like they squeezed the most out of it

#

just like 9900K

#

f that cpu

#

it's like 900c

#

combine that with a 2080Ti's 900c

#

Best have some sick water cooling

steep gust
#

9900k is fine at stock

#

Cooler than a 8600k or 8086k

#

It's when you overclock that it gets hot

#

Same with a 2080ti

red ingot
#

Yeah which is just bad design imo

#

If you're buying the highest end presumably you're gonna wanna OC it

#

You're catering to the top 1% of the market with a 2080ti or 9900k so ofc they'll wanna oc the heck outta it

#

Anyone know any decent mobos that uses both DDR3/4 RAMs?

storm osprey
#

almost certain that wont exist

zenith cave
#

I know they exist, one of them from Biostar, can't tell which model

#

Don't know if there any brands with similar specifications

storm osprey
#

just googled it, apparently there is one by asrock

#

cant imagine its going to be decently priced

#

and not to mention that probably only works with the first cpus that started using ddr4

zenith cave
#

Don't want to spend more cash just replace my currently existing DDR3 RAM

#

for some DDR4 RAM, RAM is expensive as hell

storm osprey
#

whats your scenario?

zenith cave
#

Stuck w/ a mobo with 2 DDR3 8gb and 4gb RAM

#

Can't buy DDR4 RAM cause mobo accepts only DDR3, u know old model

storm osprey
#

so you want a better cpu but want to use your old ram?

zenith cave
#

Also old mobo can't accept 4th gen and above processor

#

pretty much and also invest in upgrading in a new processor, 3rd gen took a strain w/ bf1

storm osprey
#

i mean, i would think the price difference to get hardware that accepts your old ram would get pretty close to the price of new ram

#

i could be wrong, but i really dont see it being efficient

zenith cave
#

that would also mean buying a new mobo, which sucks

storm osprey
#

id just go the simple route and get a new platform

#

new mb, cpu, and ram

zenith cave
#

only got enough cash to buy one of those

storm osprey
#

Any Motherboards that Support DDR3 and DDR4 at same time?

#

No. There are some, for Skylake only, that support *either* DDR3 or DDR4 RAM. But, there's a huge catch: It has to be DDR3L RAM, meaning 1.35V RAM. It's overwhelmingly likely you have 1.5V or possibly 1.65V RAM. You can use 1.5V RAM until the time it fries your memory controller and you're buying a new CPU (Microsoft's not going to replace that).

zenith cave
#

dammit

storm osprey
#

whats your budget?

zenith cave
#

Around 10k Pesos ($187)

storm osprey
#

for everything?

zenith cave
#

Just the mobo and ddr4, I'll stick with my old processor

#

But i doubt it would be enough for those

storm osprey
#

old processor wont work with new mb and ram

#

typically intel doesnt support old gen cpus to new gen mbs

#

iirc only 9th gen cpus are backwards compatible with 8th gen mbs

#

otherwise intel doesnt support anything else

zenith cave
#

well it was worth a try, tnx anyways

storm osprey
#

imo just save up

#

might take a while, idk your income or whatever, but if you want it you will eventually get something good

#

intel JUST released their 9th gen stuff, so theres not much to wait on for a while until amd announced they next cpus early next yuear

zenith cave
#

yea im gonna stick w/ intel, they may be expensive but have a bit better perf than amd

storm osprey
#

honestly, if you put time into tuning amd, you will get the same/better performance than intel for cheaper

zenith cave
#

i'll think about it

storm osprey
#

i will probably go ryzen for my next build, but im waiting until ryzen releases their 7nm cpus

#

which should put them on par with intel out of the box

prime jasper
#

I have a Ryzen atm, its a pretty decent CPU

rose eagle
#

7nm Ryzen for sure going to use same motherboards as the current gens?

storm osprey
#

amd said that their current platform will be supported through 2020

rose eagle
#

you can get a full Ryzen 2600 build right now for like $420.. lol

storm osprey
#

while it might not be optimal though, it will work

rose eagle
#

so if i could just drop one of the 7nm in it next year...

#

DDR4 3000 probably isnt going anywhere any time soon right?

#

we're only using 2666

storm osprey
#

doubt it

#

ddr4 came out what? 2 years ago?

rose eagle
#

so all the intel and amd cpu's next year should still use it.. i guess worst case you lose the board and cpu

#

i imagine a 2600 would be a step down from my 3770k i7

storm osprey
#

in gaming probably lateral

#

as long as you OC the 2600

#

which, everyone should

rose eagle
#

even non X?

#

not sure how Ryzen works

#

my 3770k is OCd

storm osprey
#

afaik every ryzen cpu is unlocked

#

even the ryzen 3 line

rose eagle
#

im still curious what optimizations have occured in the last 6 years of CPUs

#

compared to what i got

#

even for game dev etc

storm osprey
#

i mean, for cpu tasks a modern cpu will destroy a 4rd gen intel

#

but gaming just leans heavily on the gpu, especially at higher resolution

rose eagle
#

Asus Strix B350 is only $110 heh

#

everything about AMD is cheaper.. y ๐Ÿ˜„

#

you'd think the boards would still be expensive

storm osprey
#

for gaming youre only looking at 5-10 fps more from your 3770k to 2600

rose eagle
#

if that at 1440p, possibly lower id think

storm osprey
#

i think the benchmarks i just looked at were all 1080p

rose eagle
#

yea, cpu is more a factor at 150+ fps

storm osprey
#

so yea for 1440p its probably the same to 5 fps more

rose eagle
#

they dont show min fps

#

i need more people to test with Fraps and FRAFS ๐Ÿ˜‰

rose eagle
#

lying turd

#

ah thats non K

#

almost had me!

storm osprey
#

yea sadly you really arent going to get a lot of comparisons to older cpus

rose eagle
#

whew.. $394 for 2600, cooler, mobo, and 16gb of the best corsair ram

#

thats just insane, lol

#

i wonder how they test the 3770k in a lot of these tests, would have thought at least moving to DDR4 from 3 would impact something

storm osprey
#

yea amd pricing is pretty competitive

rose eagle
#

i mean the MSI board everyone buys is only $75..

storm osprey
#

if youre on a budget, its hard to deny amd

rose eagle
#

i wouldnt call it a budget so much as pre-emptive buy while waiting for 7nm to drop in ๐Ÿ˜„

prime jasper
#

$420 here for 2700x + cooler + 16GBs of RAM

#

Wew

rose eagle
#

you bought that?

#

where yer mobo

prime jasper
#

I bought the 2700x which came with the cooler, yes, but I only got 8GBs of RAM (misordered 8 instead of 16)

rose eagle
#

oof.. BFV is gonna want 16 for sure

prime jasper
#

This is my MB

rose eagle
#

woof, went big on mobo for amd

#

i do like ASRock

#

my 3770k board has been amazing since 2012

storm osprey
#

how is asrock treating you? i never tried a board from them

#

... or have i?

rose eagle
#

i would highly consider them again

storm osprey
#

i might have a friends build on asrock

#

hmmm

rose eagle
#

$138 aint bad but i was looking at the $75 bargain bin ๐Ÿ˜„

#

theres no real perf changes of boards

storm osprey
#

i usually go with asus, gigabyte, or msi

rose eagle
#

long as it has an m.2 slot

storm osprey
#

m.2 overrated

rose eagle
#

well, now that i have my new case perhaps

#

since they back mounted, sexy bitch

storm osprey
#

smexy new case

rose eagle
#

it all up on the back of that, zero hdd bays

storm osprey
#

you get psu swapped out?

rose eagle
#

โค

#

i need to go get it, work interfering

storm osprey
#

ahh gotcha

rose eagle
#

40m round trip.. boss been messaging me lol

#

i work from home but i still gotta be avail

storm osprey
#

they dont ship to your place?

rose eagle
#

i did ship to store to get it faster..

storm osprey
#

ah

#

that backfired though

rose eagle
#

it would have only been to my house today had i not...........

#

lol ๐Ÿ˜„

#

yea now i get to make a 2nd trip 20m away

storm osprey
#

lame, glad i live 5 min away from best buy

rose eagle
#

but.. it was essentially free so..

#

i could get a 2600 setup free if i sold my current rig lol

#

doesnt seem right

#

got another $150 in best buy credits, ram is really coming down in price

#

$135 for 16gb

storm osprey
#

ram and ssd prices are dropping

#

got newegg promo right now for 500gb 860 evo for 80 bucks...

rose eagle
#

$70 last April 2017

#

so $135 is still way overpriced

storm osprey
#

70 for ddr4?

storm osprey
#

jesus

rose eagle
#

black friday barely phases ram

#

looks like 20% tops

#

stupid PC components

#

someone needs to do a 2600 apples to apples 2070 comparison for me in FRAFS

#

ill say it again, someone spin up a lab that has a robot and puts computers together so someone can run benchmark tests ๐Ÿ˜„

#

just mount 1 of ea card to a wall

#

cpu might be a bit difficult to swap in and out mechanically lol

#

some engineer can figure it out

prime jasper
#

@storm osprey They are doing pretty well, so far

#

Had no issues with it

storm osprey
#

might go asrock next time, i have minor issues with my asus board

rose eagle
#

but yea Nyph i got 250 + 550 850s right now

#

i dont even need more storage than that

storm osprey
#

lol no you dont

prime jasper
#

I have a 2TB HDD and a 500GB 860

storm osprey
#

i only have 250 and 1tb, so i want another 500gb ssd just for gaming

prime jasper
#

I should get another SSD soon

storm osprey
#

but prices keep dropping

rose eagle
#

i thought maybe a 970 would help my unity dev compile time but im pretty sure its not even using my 850 evo

#

engine limitation

storm osprey
#

onlygood, just wait, its expected that prices are keep going to drop

prime jasper
#

I have like 116GBs left in this SSD, wew

rose eagle
#

i gotta keep my gaming drive pretty clean

#

i mean.. eventually ill need more than 500, so ill prob add an 860 500gb

#

steam can be on one and origin etc on another

#

steam is great anyway, can set up multiple install locs

#

this case can mount 3 SSDs easily, all you'd ever need

#

OS + Gaming + Gaming ๐Ÿ˜„

prime jasper
#

Yeah, I can add another SSD or HDD if I want, & I'll need another SSD soon..

#

Almost out of space on this SSD

#

I just use my HDD for junk

storm osprey
#

wait

#

wait as long as you can

#

i believe in you

prime jasper
#

I need a new keyboard (thinking of the K55), 8GBs more RAM, a 2nd monitor, and another SSD

#

Wew

storm osprey
#

get mech keys

#

silent switches

prime jasper
#

I have a couple of friends who have the K55 and they say its pretty silent

storm osprey
#

yea, its membrane

prime jasper
#

"Disable Windows key"

#

Sold

storm osprey
#

membrane are quiet, but feel like mushy poo imo

prime jasper
#

I'm using this ancient keyboard from 2009ish right now

#

With my build, lol

storm osprey
#

try a mech keyboard

prime jasper
#

I ran out of funds for it, went over budget for it actually

#

I'll be getting the last few things I need to complete it though here soon, the RAM, 2nd monitor, keyboard, & 2nd SSD

storm osprey
#

you can get a GMMK (keyboard that has modular switches, so you can change it)

#

get nice silent switches

#

and get custom keycaps

#

if you want

#

(im kind of a keyboard enthusiast)

rose eagle
#

aight the 850 is in

#

i think thats it for a while ๐Ÿ˜„

#

bring on the V!

storm osprey
#

computer all set up?!

rose eagle
#

yea minus like 5 massive cables shoved into the bottom, gg

#

i might get a new mouse pad for christmas and consider 1 white LED or something but right now im done spending monies

#

all tapped

storm osprey
#

steelseries for mouse pads

#

always the go to

#

and i like that the case you can just shove cables behind shroud and be fine lol

rose eagle
#

the steel series extended one looks ginormous

prime jasper
#

Can anyone help fix this issue?
It's been annoying me
https://i.gyazo.com/84e7b844b28ea69b635918d51feeca66.png

Basically when I partitioned my SSD part of the drive didn't go into the main partition - OS (C:), and was left unallocated for some reason. Is there a way I can allocate that space to the main partition?

#

^ That was a result of cloning my OS to my SSD from a smaller sized SSD btw

unborn epoch
#

delete 474MB and try to extend OC

#

OS*

#

next time just format and reinstall

#

cloning is shit

storm osprey
#

^

prime jasper
#

im getting micro stuttering on desktop and while gaming any clues?

#

ive updated my drivers doesnt seem to help

lofty light
#

@prime jasper I had the exact same issue from the exact same cause, ended up just backing up the OS normally and wiping

#

For some reason it wouldn't let me extend the unallocated

rose eagle
#

@prime jasper you got a 144hz + 60hz monitors by chance

prime jasper
#

@rose eagle i got single 144hz

#

with dvi-d

rose eagle
#

That's a bummer.. Windows stuttering..

#

Sure it's not your mouse?

prime jasper
#

yeah the mouse

rose eagle
#

Like if you walk forward in games no mouse does it happen?

prime jasper
#

the cursor stutters sometimes

rose eagle
#

You clean the optic?

#

Qtip etc

prime jasper
#

mhm

rose eagle
#

Got a different mouse to confirm its the mouse

prime jasper
#

Hmm ill ask my brother tomorrow to lend

#

thanks for the help

#

@rose eagle the mouse sometimes when i restart pc activates the windows accerelation to enabled

rose eagle
#

Reformat

prime jasper
#

reformat?

rose eagle
#

Always

unborn epoch
#

you like boys? better format your pc

rose eagle
#

Reformat something

prime jasper
#

~Samsung Rapid Mode
is it worth it and does it have any side effects like decreased lastivity of the ssd

lofty light
#

That's not the one that adds a RAM disk right?

unborn epoch
#

Sort of

#

It uses dram as cache

#

So not entirely like ramdick

jolly iron
#

Anyone know of an AMD processor and graphics card that can run BFV?

languid acorn
#

I'm going for 2600 and a 1080. I hope it works

rose eagle
#

1440p?

#

"can run" is different for everyone

#

720p? ๐Ÿ˜„

languid acorn
#

hahah 480p

#

144p

#

even better

rose eagle
#

i like playing everything in 1p

languid acorn
#

sexy

rose eagle
#

1080p, cpu is more important, 2600 will suffer a bit

#

1440p you can get away with lesser CPU

languid acorn
#

That's what I'm going for

#

1440

#

Yeah

jolly iron
#

@plain vessel how much are those?

languid acorn
#

Mine is going to be roughly 1450

#

$

#

hahaha

#

Nice

#

I tried to get everything white so that it could go with a lot of different colors

#

Tru

#

I might just get a white backplate

jolly iron
#

I just need an upgrade of the processor and graphics card

rose eagle
#

@languid acorn you care about 100fps or?

languid acorn
#

Yes

#

I would like that

#

I've never really had anything stable. Always stuck at 30 reee

rose eagle
#

i think itll be fine 1440p, non ultra?

#

i play with the optimal settings of high textures, mesh but everything else off or low

#

doesnt look any different and provides best sight .. in bfront2 i got 130fps avg on my 2070

#

95 on the 1% low.. so im hoping BFV performs as well as BFront 2

languid acorn
#

Hell man. I'm fine with like 60 at all ultra, but I'll test yours out

rose eagle
#

i dont see why it wouldnt but who knows...

#

in BF1 ultra on 2070 i got 97 avg..

#

65 low 1%, unacceptable

languid acorn
#

hahahaha

#

for a 2070 yea

rose eagle
#

you said 1080 tho, non Ti?

storm osprey
#

fuck yea i have black and orange build

rose eagle
#

white black orange master race!

languid acorn
#

Yeah. Non ti

storm osprey
#

also, they have white gpu. but usually are expensive

rose eagle
#

1080 shouldnt perform too much under 2070

languid acorn
#

Awesome

rose eagle
#

i want white ram sticks

#

first my brown mobo has to go ๐Ÿ˜„

#

back in 2012 no one cared about winders

languid acorn
#

@storm osprey I actually saw a white 1080 for 420(lol), but the sale ended

rose eagle
#

or i didnt..

storm osprey
#

aww lame

rose eagle
#

my 2070 is LED so

#

๐Ÿญ

#

spraypaint

#

make sure you use metallic spraypaint

languid acorn
#

I forgot what it waas, but damn it was sexy

languid acorn
#

Nice

languid acorn
#

What is the best 1080?

storm osprey
#

white and orange from gigabyte

languid acorn
#

Sexy, but too high in price. Price range for the gpus is around 400-450

rose eagle
#

yea why buy a damn 1080 for $450 when a 2070 is $500

languid acorn
#

Right now I'm stuck in that phase of staring down parts, but not buying anything

storm osprey
#

as long as you get dual fan youre fine, in my order of gpu trust its evga>msi>asus>gigabyte

languid acorn
#

Ah okay

rose eagle
#

yeh, EVGA ftw

#

not specifically the "FTW" but.. ftw

storm osprey
#

evga is probably the most popular by far

rose eagle
#

i got the factor small OC EVGA 2070 XC

storm osprey
#

yea single fan arent bad, but its usually a few dollars more to get dual fan

#

@languid acorn at this point might as well as plop the 500 bucks for a 2070

#

perf is slightly better than 1080

languid acorn
#

Yeh

storm osprey
#

anything cheaper for 1080 than 450 is probably brands or models i would advise against

rose eagle
#

yea i mean used 1080 maybe, but new right now makes zero sense

storm osprey
#

yea just looked at pcpartpicker, the cheapest gpu i would recommend was 460, so thats 40 bucks away from a 2070... id def get a 2070 instead

languid acorn
#

I've a tight budget man. I need all of this together before November 20th

pastel lily
#

Upgrading your drivers in older GPUs = Downgrading performance to pave way for newer GPUs

#

Just a fun fact

storm osprey
#

whats your total budget and what is it used for?

languid acorn
#

1450 right now. Gaming

#

$

pastel lily
#

Are you looking for upgrade or new setup?

languid acorn
#

New setup

storm osprey
#

for EVERYTHING?

pastel lily
#

incl accessories (Monitor, KBM, Headsets)

#

?

languid acorn
#

headset and a mouse

#

That's it

#

I know it's bad

storm osprey
#

what about case, psu, and storage?

languid acorn
#

I've got to buy everything

storm osprey
#

yea you can definitely shuffly things around and get a 2070

#

gpu is the most important component for gaming

#

like 70% of your gaming performance is based on gpu

languid acorn
#

Yeah

storm osprey
#

so you have a headset and mouse?

languid acorn
#

Yeah

#

The only thing I'm worried about is windows 10

#

I know I can use it free until I can buy a key

storm osprey
#

better performance than your build, cheaper

languid acorn
#

How the hell? You wizard

pastel lily
#

you still need a CPU case

#

RGB*

storm osprey
#

wait... i didnt add monitor

languid acorn
#

The only thing I would change would be the case. Just to a white one.

storm osprey
#

they have a white version of the one i suggest

#

its got a tempered glass side

languid acorn
#

Oh wait yeah. A monitor

rose eagle
#

oops

storm osprey
#

costs a little more,

languid acorn
#

It's good man. Thank you

storm osprey
#

you dont want to skimp on ssd for your os

languid acorn
#

true true

rose eagle
#

or monitor

#

๐Ÿ˜„

languid acorn
#

also true

storm osprey
#

yea your build is slightly better than that monitor

#

depending on graphic settings

#

if you high everything, youll still probably get more than 60 fps

languid acorn
#

Eh it's all good right now. When i get good cash income then I will upgrade

#

@storm osprey Easy fix. Bump to Ultra

rose eagle
#

Black Friday should bring some amazing monitor deals

#

id just look real hard

#

they are the #1 PC component that gets slashed hard

#

you gonna be able to buy anything by then?

languid acorn
#

If I don't get a monitor now

#

Plus I still got to get bfv

#

damn this is hurting my wallet

storm osprey
#

so theres a 24" 1440p 144hz gsync monitor that i swear was 300 bucks a couple of days ago, its a dell

languid acorn
#

Ooo really?

storm osprey
#

i would recommend stretching for that or the 27" version for around 400 bucks

#

i lie, the 24" is 165hz or something like that

languid acorn
#

that's fine

storm osprey
#

i know its a stretch, but these monitors are absolutely fantastic

languid acorn
#

Yeah

storm osprey
#

i personally own one, i think @rose eagle does, and i have gotten like 5 people to get one as well

#

everyone loves it

languid acorn
#

I found it. 341$

rose eagle
#

wut

#

the 27?

languid acorn
#

24

rose eagle
#

oh yea, it should drop a lot more

storm osprey
#

i swear i saw it for 300 recently

rose eagle
#

the 27 goes on sale black fridays usually for 350

#

yea the 24 should be much cheaper on sale

#

2x a year

languid acorn
#

it dropped from 500 to 300. Do you think it'll go lower?

storm osprey
#

its never 500

rose eagle
#

the 27 for 350 would be your best bet

storm osprey
#

at least ive never seen it at that price

rose eagle
#

no idea what the 24 goes to

#

or what we're now talking about

#

no point buying 24 for 300 if 27 is 350 next month

languid acorn
#

Yeah

storm osprey
#

yea i would wait for 27"

#

imo its the perfect size forr 1440p

rose eagle
#

yea thats a ton of pixels on a 24

storm osprey
#

at like 2 feet away, you dont even notice pixels

#

its insane

#

(my best friend has the 24")

pastel lily
#

should I upgrade my GPU or just let it be for old times sake

#

btw, whats a good alternative to 2080?

#

AMD side

rose eagle
#

nothin

#

thats a literal answer, they dont have anything to answer against the 1080Ti

#

which is what the 2080 is perf wise

pastel lily
#

hmm cant wait to see what AMD has in their sleeve to counter 2080

rose eagle
#

i wouldnt hold my breath for a GPU counter, they still have havent quite figured it out after 20 years ๐Ÿ˜„

pastel lily
#

im guessing then Nvidia would dominate the GPU market and nobody would be able to stop them increasing the prices

#

:sigh:

#

so should I upgrade the 970 ?

rose eagle
#

1080?

#

you might get 60fps 1440p on lowest all settings for V

pastel lily
#

im not going to use it for playing

#

i have another rig for gaming

#

with 2080Ti

rose eagle
#

i just sold my 970 for $110 on facebook marketplace

languid acorn
#

Maybe if I sell some organs I can get a better budget

storm osprey
#

"older" gaming system, while im running a 4th gen intel xD

#

and yea, amd is only barely competitive at the mid range

#

intel is supposed to join the gpu market in 2020 i believe

#

(intel has been taking a lot of "key" players from AMD's gpu sectors)

#

hmm, rosewill pc case is 20 dollars right now, looks like a decent 40 dollar case

languid acorn
#

Ooo bf seems like it'll be a hard game to run

#

from the requirments

storm osprey
#

yea bf is not the easiest to run

#

i have an i7 4790, 1080, and 16gb of ram, and in bf1 with everything low except textures, i get roughly 100-130 fps at 1440p

languid acorn
#

nice

rose eagle
#

yea my 3770k is same with 2070

#

1440p = upgrade CPU every 10 yrs ;D

storm osprey
#

hopefully 7nm ryzen is as cracked up as its supposed to be

#

and i wont have to upgrade cpu for a very long time after that

jolly iron
#

I really don't understand why people think PC is so much better

rose eagle
#

i dont understand why anyone would want a console so we're square ๐Ÿ˜„

#

you dont understand til you play 144hz 100+ fps with a mouse and kb

#

which wont hit consoles for a decade

#

if ever

jolly iron
#

You know it'll play any game that comes out on it

rose eagle
#

itll "play" it, at 30 or 60 fps

jolly iron
#

And if the game runs poorly, it's the developers fault

rose eagle
#

60fps is horrific

jolly iron
#

But yet, I still enjoy the game

rose eagle
#

absolutely

jolly iron
#

Because it's fun

rose eagle
#

i enjoyed COD on consoles 10 years ago

#

because i had buddies with consoles

#

its more a culture choice

#

you got buddies on ps4? you all own ps4s

jolly iron
#

I have buddies on everything

#

And a PC is easily 2x the price of an Xbox One

storm osprey
#

i like pc because i get to dictate the experience i have with a game

#

im not told by the dev that this is what they want out of the game

#

i could give 2 shits about motion blur and HBOA, but devs want it in and now im playing a game at 30 fps because of it

#

on pc i can turn them off and get 60 fps

#

and even if devs are bad and dont optimize a game well, you can just throw a powerful pc at it and make it run fine

#

of course that costs money, but its an option, pc is about options

red ingot
#

True

#

And pc graphics are much better than console graphics

storm osprey
#

for me fps>graphics (i play mostly everything low)

red ingot
#

Games like battlefield look absolutely beautiful on pc while kinda meh on console

#

Heck even on low still looks better than console

#

No downscaling

#

And much better frames but that's a given

#

But with an i7 and 1080 u only get 100fps on bf1 low?

storm osprey
#

console has its place, and you have the option for both, i have a ps4 pro and a pc with a gpu that costs more than my ps4 pro in total

red ingot
#

True

storm osprey
#

i play at 1440p resolution

red ingot
#

Ah

storm osprey
#

so twice as much pixels as 1080p

rose eagle
#

console owners push more hate on PC than ther other way around ๐Ÿ˜‰

red ingot
#

1440p > console 1080p

#

Even on low

#

True

#

I mean to each their own

#

Pc more expensive yes, but imo worth it

rose eagle
#

if a debate is brought up ill gladly slam my 144hz 100+ fps e-peen down

#

but i dont actively care

red ingot
#

Same

storm osprey
#

i started console, i didnt have money for a pc, but ever since i started working i built a pc, and im never looking back

red ingot
#

Once u go 144hz u cant go back

jolly iron
#

Once you look at the price tag, you never wanna look at it again

red ingot
#

Man to me even gaming on my garbage staples laptop at 600x800 10fps back in the day it was better than console

#

Imo I find the pc community a lot more accepting

#

At least it was back in the day

#

Getting a little toxic now

jolly iron
#

"Little"

red ingot
#

But back in the day everyone was super chill and we'd all laugh about my game being a slideshow lol

storm osprey
#

@jolly iron you could build a good pc off used parts that will easily beat an xbox

jolly iron
#

But they're still gonna be $200 more than an Xbox

storm osprey
#

no they wont

red ingot
#

Eh depends on the person - I find pc people nowadays are either super toxic or not at all

#

Plus pc saves money on online access (free) and the massive sales (steam sales, humble bundle, etc.)

jolly iron
#

An average low-tier graphics card runs $200

red ingot
#

So u kinda save in the long run

storm osprey
#

low tier new gpu from 10xx series is way better than the gpu in an xbox

red ingot
#

Can also upgrade specific parts of your pc at a time rather than the entire thing

storm osprey
#

a standard xbox basically has a 750 ti in there, you can get that gpu for 50 bucks used easily

red ingot
#

When ps5 comes out u gotta chuck your whole ps4

#

And true

jolly iron
#

I don't think you understand exactly how shit prices are for me

storm osprey
#

now, that doesnt mean with a similar priced pc compared to a console youll get the same perf, because devs optimize console diligently

red ingot
#

Only reason console does okay on crappy specs is cause super thin OS and games are optimized for the specific hardware (pc more difficult to optimize due to wide range of hardware)

#

Yah

jolly iron
#

A $186 USD processor is $324 CDN

#

Roughly

red ingot
#

Pc harder to optimize due to wide range of hardware

storm osprey
#

welp, youre screwed xD

red ingot
#

And yeah I feel u man I'm in Canada too

storm osprey
#

i build budget pcs for friends all the time

glossy cove
red ingot
#

Gotta get those Black Friday deals

#

Respek

#

F

storm osprey
#

4k monitor with those specs?

jolly iron
#

Yeah, but I'm broke

red ingot
#

This man lives on the edge

glossy cove
#

My specs don't make no sense GWfroggySadCat

red ingot
#

4k > fps for some

#

To each their own but I'm not getting 4k till it can do 144fps

storm osprey
#

i mean, what fps does that get though?

jolly iron
#

My PC can run DS3 barely

glossy cove
#

I play CSGO in 4K just fine

red ingot
#

Anything can run csgo tho

storm osprey
#

i built a pc that can run ds3 easily for about 300 bucks

glossy cove
#

But mostly FM and Ci๐Ÿ…ฑ

red ingot
#

Super optimized game

jolly iron
#

Again, American prices

#

Or at least not prices that I see

red ingot
#

RIP Canadian dollar

storm osprey
#

lol that sucks

red ingot
#

Pc stuff goes on made sale in Canada too tho

#

I'm getting a new monitor black Friday

storm osprey
#

1440p?

red ingot
#

Yeah

storm osprey
#

dell?

red ingot
#

144hz g sync 1440p

#

Asus

#

I'll link

storm osprey
#

bleh

red ingot
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

Asus hate?

#

They're good imo

storm osprey
#

nah, overpaying hate

#

im a bang for buck kinda person

red ingot
#

Ah I see

#

Fair enough
