i have no idea what that article is about

prime jasper
#

SSD's performance

#

SX8200 is labeled as highest price to performance low price SSD(faster than 860evo)

unborn epoch
#

what about return numbers? how often do a-data ssds get returned?

prime jasper
#

in lithuanian market that doesn't work like this.

#

not fast

#

970 evo goes for around 110euros here of 250gb

#

SX8200 for ~70s

unborn epoch
#

LOL

#

you guys are getting scammed

rose eagle
#

ill never buy anything but Evos, rock stable ;D

unborn epoch
#

970 evo 500gb is 120 here in the netherlands

prime jasper
#

860evo is pon par of mx500

rose eagle
#

kinda like fk you AMD πŸ˜„

lofty light
#

Evo's are great price perf

prime jasper
#

but both of them slower than sx8200

#

whiole 860 evo is also m.2 type

unborn epoch
#

lithuania got all their prices messed up

rose eagle
#

the 860 m.2 perform exactly the same as the 2.5?

unborn epoch
#

970 evo 250gb is 74eu here

prime jasper
#

it's messed up. so only solution is check everything

#

sometimes u find better performing ssds from adata

unborn epoch
#

Snutten where are you from/ Scamdinavia?

prime jasper
#

you're free to do that

#

ADATA SSD is also micron one(sx8200)

rose eagle
#

can get a 500gb 860evo m.2 right now for $93 from newegg

prime jasper
#

which means-theyre the same oem as crucial ones

rose eagle
#

970 is like $160?

#

no gaming situations even use half the 860 i assume

unborn epoch
#

i got a evo 970 1tb

rose eagle
#

ive never watched my hdd usage during BF

unborn epoch
#

and a 1tb samsung evo 860

rose eagle
#

im not even sure what's going on in here anymore tbh

unborn epoch
#

also adata has 3 year warranty

rose eagle
#

id like to discuss GSync perf over your monitor's refresh rat and what happens πŸ˜„

unborn epoch
#

samsung has 5 year warranty

#

performance per dollar isn't the only deciding factor please

unborn epoch
#

if you have half a brain

rose eagle
#

ewww PPD πŸ˜„

#

who buys a gaming rig on PPD!?

unborn epoch
rose eagle
#

Gsync kicks in under your monitor's refresh rate, so its very important for me on 1440p even with a 2070

unborn epoch
#

gsync is a godsend for the high-end market

rose eagle
#

but if you go over 144fps i didnt realize it acts like v-sync

#

even more reason to limit fps in BFV to 120

#

so that those occasional frames dont go over 144

#

cause thats only like 10% of the time

unborn epoch
#

that's horseshit homie

rose eagle
#

but if those frames act like vsync that would be terrible

unborn epoch
#

if it'd be true vsync that would mean you'd notice mouse delay

#

which never happens to me

rose eagle
#

how often are you over 144fps and not limiting the in game fps to 144?

unborn epoch
#

in battlefield all the time

#

csgo all the time

#

i run csgo at 300fps

rose eagle
#

you sure you'd feel 20ms input latency?

unborn epoch
#

definitely

#

i can easily feel it if you disable gsync and turn on vsync

#

and enable gsync

prime jasper
#

so average writing on 970 evo is 689.0MB/s and reading 2764.8mb/s
sx8200 873.4 write, 2379.5mb/s read

#

even faster than 970 evo LOL

#

and cheaper aropund 50%

unborn epoch
#

cheaper in your country

#

pricing is equal here

#

yup

prime jasper
#

sme products we get cheaper-some more pricier

#

but if it goes in around price to perf on tight budget-u can't say sx8200 is bad ssd can ya?

unborn epoch
#

it isn't bad, but if you are on a budget i'd say warranty is worth more

#

since you probably can't replace parts that easily

prime jasper
#

exactly.

#

toshiba p300 hdd is better than wd blue

#

better random writing speeds also reads

unborn epoch
#

hdd OMEGALUL

prime jasper
#

also sequentials 4k are better

unborn epoch
#

i have 8 wd reds in my nas

prime jasper
#

they cost +/- 3euros around the same.

unborn epoch
#

no need for hdds in my pc

#

shit slows me down, gotta keep killing

#

i buy parts based on aftersale/customer support

#

i dont want to buy no PeePeePooPoo3D 1080ti with nonexistent customer support

#

i'll pay a few bucks extra for EVGA or w/e

lofty light
#

EVGA are great for their support

rose eagle
#

fk.. im really sad at the input latency increase when running borderless, i have to now stop doing that

unborn epoch
#

ya borderless is often badly implemented

lofty light
#

Doesn't even void warranty by ripping the cooler off

lofty light
#

Hmm, me too

rose eagle
#

this is CS:GO so not sure on BFV

#

so its game dependent?

#

not just windows?

lofty light
#

I find there's more issues tabbing in and out of full screen games than borderless

rose eagle
#

8ms is a lot

unborn epoch
#

interesting

#

some gams also eat fps hard in borderless windowed mode

#

personally I play shooters in full screen all the time

#

no time to tab out anyway πŸ˜„

#

Sadly like @flat grotto says, tabbing out of fullscreen games often goes horribly wrong

#

ehh not him

#

I can't tag you MrDerrik, that's funny.

lofty light
#

You're tagging my clan mates πŸ˜›

unborn epoch
#

@lofty light that's the one

lofty light
#

Bonjour

#

I may have to test fps with full screen and BFV, but I'm more for throwing as much hardware at it as possible for performance

unborn epoch
#

I wonder how well DX12 works compared to DX12 for us non RTX owners

lofty light
#

It's awful for me on a 1080

#

But my CPU is Haswell

unborn epoch
#

aweful on bfv? or bf1

#

it is bad in bf1 for me

lofty light
#

Bf1

unborn epoch
#

but bfv should have proper dx12 implementation due to the raytracing gimmick they added

lofty light
#

It's just a wrapper for both right?

unborn epoch
#

i doubt it

lofty light
#

Ah yeah true

rose eagle
#

i dont know your FPS will be better in full screen, your input is increased supposedly a lot in borderless

unborn epoch
#

the problem is you never played fullscreen probably

#

csgo is an extreme example, csgo isn't a very good engine

#

im not sure about BF1, i never tried comparing the two modes

rose eagle
#

wow never use nvidia's FPS limiter

#

i didnt know it existed but dont use it

#

only use in game engine limiters

#

knowledge is power

unborn epoch
#

what happens if you use nvidia limiter

rose eagle
#

adds lots of input lag

#

vs simply running vsync off

unborn epoch
#

oh shit

#

too bad engine limits oftne don't work

#

πŸ˜„

rose eagle
#

yea even bf's allows high spikes

#

looks like we're all sol

#

im convinced this guys tests are accurate

#

you run CS GO at 300fps?

unborn epoch
#

omething like that

#

it;s limited at 300 at least in the config

rose eagle
#

have you tried playing with no gsync or vsync before?

unborn epoch
#

ya i used to for years

slate rivet
#

people emailing for memes at work

#

they are not ready for what i have in the locker pepe

rose eagle
#

@unborn epoch i dunno man, i dont see why this guy's tests would be wrong

#

for > 144fps input lag + Gsync

unborn epoch
#

oh i lied

#

my fps is 158

#

you have to cap your fps a bit below your max refreshrate of monitor

rose eagle
#

that should still introduce full vsync input lag

#

right

unborn epoch
#

no

rose eagle
#

oh, are you 165hz?

unborn epoch
#

my refreshrate is 165

#

because im a real man

rose eagle
#

well that fixes things πŸ˜‰

#

so yes, if you capped 300 and had GSync on, this report claims you'd see full vsync level input latency

unborn epoch
#

too bad i can't put in a custom fps cap in battlefield

rose eagle
#

44ms vs 23ms

#

yea that sucks because 144 isnt proper...

unborn epoch
#

i'll have to deal with 144fps

rose eagle
#

i mean it sucks for me as well, i have to use 120

#

but i dont think im too impacted, i have the perfect video card to achieve 90-120 ish fps

unborn epoch
#

ya definitely

rose eagle
#

i almost feel better having a 2070 over a 1080Ti

unborn epoch
#

so hyped for this game

#

god damn BRO HYPED

rose eagle
#

your fps range was 72 min, 142 avg

#

in the test you sent me for BF1

#

youll have to join a game with me and follow me for 30s to record a fraps test πŸ˜‰

#

mandatory

unborn epoch
#

ya that was at 80% power target

rose eagle
#

gonna need exact same settings, the high mesh etc but flora low

#

for science!

unborn epoch
#

ya i'll do that maybe later

rose eagle
#

and all of Battlefield mankind

#

no i mean in BF V

unborn epoch
#

oh that i will definitely do

#

i'll go full performance mode

rose eagle
#

you will have to join a game and get the exact map and looking at same thing

#

like literally spawn on me, it will be coordinated damnit!

#

apples apples

unborn epoch
#

wouldn't singleplayer be better then?

#

or even practice range later on

rose eagle
#

nah sp is a bad test

#

mp adds a ton of variables, real fps test

unborn epoch
#

but it isn't a true 1on1 tedst

#

since the other 62 players aren't doin the same thing

rose eagle
#

i mean it would be good for apples apples for sure, but id like to see the effects of mp FPS

#

to see what i really get

unborn epoch
#

ya

#

bbl, going out for some GRUB

rose eagle
#

yeh, waitin for wife to get back so i can go get some coneys

#

mmmmm

storm garnet
#

any idea on minimum reqs for bf5 144fps all low settings?

#

got a 2600 and 480 8gb right now, i figure ill prolly have to upgrade gpu>

rose eagle
#

2080Ti? Lol

#

Maybe just a 1080Ti ;)

storm garnet
#

damn is it that bad

#

ill legit go 720p if i have to

rose eagle
#

My 2070 gets 120 in BF1 and someone else's 1080Ti gets 140 avg or so

storm garnet
#

on all low? fuck

storm osprey
#

for 1080p i dont think the 480 will be too bad, but idk, 144 fps sounds a bit high for that set up

rose eagle
#

Not all low I mean textures all ultra

storm garnet
#

oh then

rose eagle
#

But that doesn't impact fps

storm garnet
#

ill be fine i think

rose eagle
#

That's just visuals

#

If you have 8a gig of vram then you can set the texture to Max to make the game look pretty

#

But then you turn off post processing and all the other crap to give you a boost in performance

#

So technically a 1080ti gets about a hundred and forty FPS on quote-unquote low

#

Bf1

#

Oh wait yeah we're 1440 p haha

#

I keep forgetting people mostly run 1080p

#

Yuck

storm osprey
#

i assume they are at 1080p, and i think theyll get at least 100 fps, but idk about 144

rose eagle
#

Someone with a 1080ti needs to run a battlefield 1 fraps benchmark for me

storm garnet
#

im1080p yea

storm osprey
#

ideally they would need the same exact computer as well though

storm garnet
#

i can prolly snag a 1070ti or something if need be

rose eagle
#

Yeah I bet you can get 144 frames per second on a 1080 TI at 1080p

#

For 1080 P yeah the CPU then becomes a factor

storm osprey
#

480 should do fine imo, but yea you can always upgrade

rose eagle
#

Come on people do 1440p so I know what I'm talking about

storm osprey
#

i saw an evga 1070 ti the other day for 370 i believe

rose eagle
#

I would take bf1 as a decent indicator for V

#

Cause it really doesn't even run as optimized as bfront2

storm garnet
#

in bf1 im getting anywhere from 130fps avg to 180fps avg depending on map and im perfectly happy with it

#

so if it stays same/similar then very epic

storm osprey
#

at first i would think you would get less fps, but not much

#

you didnt play beta?

storm garnet
#

i didnt no, was very busy at the time

#

and regardless i just upgraded my pc about a week ago

rose eagle
#

I'm not sure why but Battlefront 2 runs better than Battlefield 1

#

I got like 20% worst frames in Battlefield 5 beta than Battlefield 1 but if history repeats itself you'll see like a 10% increase from beta to release

red ingot
#

plus new drivers which will help

storm garnet
#

im itching for an excuse to spend more money that i really dont need to so no big deal if its worse

storm osprey
#

ehh just wait imo

storm garnet
#

i will ofc

rose eagle
#

lol i have the same problem @storm garnet , i bought a 2070 but want to replace my 3770k πŸ˜„

storm garnet
#

i upgraded from 3570k recently

#

its honestly worth it just to go to ddr4 ram

#

if u do anything that requires quality ram

red ingot
#

i'd replace my 4770k but i wanna wait for 10nm

rose eagle
#

nah, gaming doesnt seem to tax it

storm garnet
#

i play overwatch and for some reason it really wants good ram and a lot of it

rose eagle
#

i play 1440p so my cpu is of less importance

#

do you set an FPs limit for overwatch?

#

like 142

storm garnet
#

my fps went from 110 to 240 from 3570k -> 2600 and 8gb ddr3 -> 16gb ddr4

red ingot
#

wow

storm garnet
#

i did on my old platform but not here , ive been considering doing 150 until i get a 240hz monitopr

red ingot
#

100% increase is significant

rose eagle
#

lol somethin had to have been wrong

red ingot
#

yeah

#

that's not a massive upgrade

storm garnet
#

the game is just shit optimized in comp now

#

id still get many fps in tdm or widow hs ffa

rose eagle
#

plus your 3570k is only 4c4t

storm garnet
#

but in comp my fps would be super inconsistent and weird

rose eagle
#

huge diff between that and my i7 4c8t

storm garnet
#

its genuinely amazing how much worse ow performance has gotten over the last year and a half

rose eagle
#

i mean when you say worse.. we dont reallllly need more than 144hz, theres diminishing returns on input over that

red ingot
#

true

#

60-144 is massive

#

144-240 is pretty incremental

rose eagle
#

its 25% from 144 to 240

red ingot
#

yea

#

but like 120% from 60-144

rose eagle
#

21ms to 39 yea

red ingot
#

didn't actually do the math just guestimated but yeah

rose eagle
#

i got shit in front of me im researching on today hehe

storm garnet
#

ofc i dont need it but im a megatryhard at videogames and have expendable income so

#

why not

rose eagle
#

i dont have disposable income and shouldnt πŸ˜„

#

thats the only thing keeping me from poppin my entire rig out for a 9700k

storm garnet
#

ahaha the dream

red ingot
#

i mean i have disposable income, but I should probably save it like a smart person

storm garnet
#

yes u should and so should i

#

but i never claimed to be smart

red ingot
#

but

#

pc parts

#

😦

rose eagle
#

saving? pff, thats what 401k matching is for

red ingot
#

:D

rose eagle
#

looks like the diff between 144 and 240hz with gsync on and fps limiter to match the refresh is 21ms vs 16ms so you'd have to feel that 5ms

#

definitely nothing on my radar any time in the near future since it's like $600+ for a good 240hz

#

glad to know im not suffering the FOMO on that one

storm osprey
#

fomo?

#

no fomo?

rose eagle
#

35% of steam hardware survey is 750Ti, 1050/Ti, and 1060

#

pretty crazy that high a % of people settle for 60fps in a game like BF V but maybe none of those people play it πŸ˜„

#

fomo!!!

storm osprey
#

60 fps is good

#

i just like 100+ xD

rose eagle
#

if you replace good with trash

#

i agree

#

60fps is 100% unacceptable, but my 60hz monitor doesnt have gsync

#

i mean, do any?

storm osprey
#

i dont think i can game competitively on 60 fps, i think i would be too distracted

#

idk any 60hz gsync monitors

#

i think the range of gsync is 50-140

rose eagle
#

i have two 1440p monitors, one 144hz gsync next to a 60hz and i played on both yesterday and about threw up playing on the 60hz

#

i didnt know what i was missing til i did the comparison, i for some reason never have

#

i always was wondering if buying this 2716 was worthwhile not having a 1080Ti +

#

seems its very much so

storm osprey
#

thats the dell model number right?

rose eagle
#

yar hehe

storm osprey
#

yea, i love it

red ingot
#

yeah i have a 144hz and 60hz side by side

#

even just doing web browsing and stuff on the 60hz feels slow

#

:/

rose eagle
#

hehe saying people are hacking in chat really gets people's goats

#

99fps on 2070 on this map, oof

#

the odd part about 1080Ti vs 2070 is the 1% low is relatively equal

odd goblet
#

I just realized that I can get a 1050 Ti for my computer

rose eagle
#

"can" ?

odd goblet
#

Yes, I am able to put that into my computer

rose eagle
#

you need a 1060 6gb or better for V

#

why wouldnt you be able to?

odd goblet
#

I don't plan on getting that for the computer

#

Compatibility and shit

#

Was checking if my motherboard and other parts are compatible

#

Although I still have no idea what I would play on a good computer.

red ingot
#

bfv

odd goblet
#

no

red ingot
#

😦

odd goblet
#

I can't think of an actual single reason to upgrade my computer tbh, but I am considering it

storm osprey
#

to get into the pc master race

red ingot
#

^

odd goblet
#

But I don't see any games worth getting

red ingot
#

bfv?

odd goblet
#

Already have it on console

red ingot
#

could buy it again lol

#

or literally any other game

#

imo fps is more fun on pc cause mouse and keyboard is more accurate

#

plus u get all the cool rts games like starcraft and company of heroes and stuff

#

and turn based like civ and xcom

storm osprey
#

any game worth getting on console is more worth to get on pc

odd goblet
#

I highly dislike RTS games now

storm osprey
#

just the options on pc make it worth it

red ingot
#

pc graphics frame rate > console graphics & frame rate

#

once u go 144hz u can't go back

odd goblet
#

Eh, I guess I'll not waste $150 on this... I might just get a new monitor and that's it

storm osprey
#

have you tried pc gaming?

red ingot
#

144hz masterrace

odd goblet
#

Yes, not worth it

red ingot
#

πŸ™„

storm osprey
#

to each their own, but youre wrong

red ingot
#

^

odd goblet
#

Eh, as long as I am playing the game I don't care how the system feels

red ingot
#

idk, the lag and downscaling on console bugs the crap outta me

odd goblet
#

Unless I am at like PowerPoint Presentation frame rate

storm osprey
#

how it feels means the most to me xD

odd goblet
#

I actually don't even like 4k, something about it just... nah.

storm osprey
#

dont go 4k, go 2k 144hz with gsync

#

no that youll run that with a 1050ti

odd goblet
#

I am talking about graphics wise 4k not really performance wise

red ingot
#

2k 144hz i don't think will run on a 1050ti

odd goblet
#

Fuck I am on like the 40th page of Steam and I still don't see an actual game to get a better pc for

red ingot
#

..

#

can't tell whether serious or trolling

odd goblet
#

I am serious, I don't see a 'high-end' game worth really getting

storm osprey
#

its not about high end games

odd goblet
#

So far, found one MGSV

storm osprey
#

its the options to play games how you want

odd goblet
#

I didn't even know MGSV was on Steam...

storm osprey
#

i just got mgsv on humble monthly

#

well with that said

#

for 12 bucks youll get mgsv, cities skyline, and like 5 other games in a month

odd goblet
#

Oh wait, I remembered the time I got with MGSV...

#

Day of Infamy is so far the one game that looks worth upgrading

red ingot
#

Insurgency is solid too

#

Sandstorm is out in Dec

odd goblet
#

I can run Insurgency one... refunded it

red ingot
#

or pre-order and play beta now

#

insurgency is sooo much fun tho

storm osprey
#

bfv, destiny 2, witcher

#

basically any game that gets 30 fps on console a 1050ti will get roughly 60

odd goblet
#

I can play those all on Xbox One and they'll feel good... well not Destiny 2, I don't really like RPG shooters as much as I did with Borderlands 2

storm osprey
#

bl2 was 30 fps as well

odd goblet
#

Battlefield or Battlefront?

storm osprey
#

both

odd goblet
#

I have BF2 and BF2 classic

storm osprey
#

not to mention, i can still play old games on pc without rebuying or pulling out a system to play them

#

i still play psychonauts on pc, that game came out on ps2

#

but they updated it and now i can play it with better resolution

odd goblet
#

Yeah uhh, you don't need good PCs at all to play... old games

#

I can emulate Twisted Metal Black just fine

storm osprey
#

not saying that

#

just a perk of pc over console

odd goblet
#

I am talking about reasons to upgrading

#

btw, I am surprised Seid Meyer's Pirates! got very positive reviews on steam.

storm osprey
#

you upgrade to only use a console for exclusives

#

but saying youre on xbox one that doesnt mean much

red ingot
#

yeah lots of xbone games come to pc

odd goblet
#

Yeah to me, it doesn't really mean much...

red ingot
#

forza series is on pc, gears of war on pc

storm osprey
#

welp, cant help ya panzer

#

might need to speak to a shrink

odd goblet
#

Gears of War is on PC?

red ingot
#

yep

#

MS store/Windows Store

#

lots of xbone exclusives are now xbone/pc

storm osprey
#

iirc basically only halo and sunset overdrive are not on pc

odd goblet
#

There is Halo Online, I think my computer can run that just fine

storm osprey
#

halo online and i think some other halo was on pc, but im talking about recent stuff

odd goblet
#

Honestly who the fuck would play Halo 5 on PC?

#

Or Halo 5 in general?

red ingot
#

..

odd goblet
#

What sucks is that I really wanna spend my money on something that I am gonna actually use.

red ingot
#

welp idk how to help u there

odd goblet
#

120 pages...

#

only 90 more pages of the games on steam to see if I should actually upgrade my system

storm osprey
#

i mean, halo is basically destiny, and destiny has healthy player count on pc

odd goblet
#

I am trying to find like a GTX 700 something and I can't really find one on pcpartpicker

#

Well, I can but the prices aren't listed at all

rose eagle
#

i mean technically the only reason i keep a computer upgraded is to play battlefield so πŸ˜„

#

which means BF costs me like $150+/yr

odd goblet
#

I keep seeing 750s more expensive than 1050 Tis.

rose eagle
#

some people spend that per month on cigarettes

#

shrugs

#

i spend $100/mo on alcohol but $1200 for a PC i use daily for hours is crazy?

#

where's the math πŸ˜„

storm osprey
#

because they are rare

odd goblet
#

Fuck 750s are rare

#

Okay, I guess I will use 660?

#

Oh well, I guess I'll run GTA V with a 710

storm osprey
#

?

odd goblet
#

GT 710

#

Doesn't run well, oh well, there's always steam refund

storm osprey
#

you have a gt 710?

odd goblet
#

Yes

storm osprey
#

get a 1050ti my lord

odd goblet
#

no mad

#

Like I said, I can run every game I have well

#

Like L4D2, CSGO (rarely), a bunch of mods on Garry's Mod, Doom 2, Far Cry 2, Modern Warfare 3

storm osprey
#

those are old games...

odd goblet
#

Yes

storm osprey
#

play new games

#

get 1050ti

odd goblet
#

Ew

#

The newest game I will have in my library will probably end up being GTA V

#

And you don't really need a good graphics card for that it seems

#

a 9800 GT can run it

storm osprey
#

at what? low settings 30 fps?

odd goblet
#

That's actually good

storm osprey
#

console good

odd goblet
#

For what a 9800 GT is, that's good, thanks for saying that my computer should run GTA V just fine

#

And there's no real reason for me to get a 1050 Ti

storm osprey
#

console fine

#

bleh

odd goblet
#

Console fine is perfect

storm osprey
#

not perfect

odd goblet
#

It already runs well on the Xbox One

storm osprey
#

but it at least good enough

odd goblet
#

And 360 for that matter

#

Fuck this is a huge game πŸ‘€

rose eagle
#

$200 for an xbone is a perfectly good reason to become a skill capped to a controller console gamer if you're broke ;D

#

everyone wins, no one can be good!

storm osprey
#

console has roughly 3 things going for it, budget friendly, even playing field (even though thats changed this gen), and... i forgot the 3rd one

odd goblet
#

I am still allocating disk space

rose eagle
#

why is it changed this gen?

#

mouse support still isnt officially supported is it?

#

XIM is against ToS

#

for most games

odd goblet
#

I don't think it is, so far only Fortnite actually outright uses the tools against XIM

rose eagle
#

honestly that sucks for consoles lately is the player's complaining against XIM users where the hardware is undetectable

#

no way in hell id controller vs mouse

odd goblet
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

TheBrokenMachine is good with Controller

storm osprey
#

because you can buy a better console

#

xbox one x and ps4 pro

odd goblet
#

I've got a Cronus for Doom and Far Cry 5

#

and GTA V singleplayer even though it doesn't make much of a difference in online because the aim assist is so strong

#

Like, so fucking strong...

storm osprey
#

if its anything like rdr, its not aim assist, its aim lock

#

you ADS even remotely close to a target, it just snaps

odd goblet
#

Yeah

#

It is like that

rose eagle
#

yea i dunno i guess aim assist might be as competitive

#

i assume you have to turn it off for mouse or itll just go insane?

odd goblet
#

If you keep it on with mouse in singleplayer it's like the game is just playing for you

#

There are numerous times where the aim will snap on to the person in cover when there's a man sprinting after you with a shotgun

#

But that's what players do a lot of the time, I use controller on Console because the UI would be hard to actually configure on a keyboard

#

And no one plays free aim on console

#

The most populated server would end up being like 6 players which is great if you're gonna grind for money in the online mode without any real repercussions

#

But they don't separate free aim and free aim assisted

#

So you'd get people using free aim assisted having a bigger advantage over people who use just free aim

#

Free Aim Assisted I forget what that is entirely, I think it snaps but it doesn't lock... I forget

#

Page 170 on steam, woot

unborn epoch
#

interesting

#

never tried that game

#

what is this scam

#

how do i activate it

fiery oracle
#

No way this is legit

rose eagle
#

kotaku cant be wrong!

#

i already own it so

#

already a damn year? =/

storm osprey
#

destiny 2 was already in humble monthly, and it was free for ps+

fiery oracle
#

Shit ill gladly take a free game

storm osprey
#

you also get the base game and the first 2 dlc for free if you only buy the latest dlc

#

i suggest playing base destiny with at least 1 other person, its fun

#

forsaken is really good, im roughly 70 hours in atm and im addicted

fiery oracle
#

Yea, I used to fuck with the division heavily and thats what i did

storm osprey
#

i tried the division and didnt stick with it

#

played for maybe 10 hours

#

destiny 2 has me hooked though

#

i postponed buying bfv in part of destiny 2

rose eagle
#

ugh, dude in gaming group is not gonna buy V cause he had BF1 timed out connection issues a year ago, reinstalled recently to get psyched again but still gets timed out in BF1

#

so clearly its not something they will ever resolve on their end

storm osprey
#

HAHA WTF

#

sorry caps

rose eagle
#

i mean i dont blame him =/

#

why would he expect V to not have same issues

#

no idea what he can do, suggested just forwarding all known ports for Battlefield

fiery oracle
#

Just tell him to wait till the game is like $30

#

took bf1 under 6 months to reach that point

storm osprey
#

i mean, at this point i suggest its his end

rose eagle
#

that wont help, disconnects would drive me batty

#

he's bought a new PC since, so its not windows related or nic

storm osprey
#

maybe updare firmware on his router

rose eagle
#

gotta be router or something

#

he should bypass right into PC and test

storm osprey
#

rocket league fucks up on me

#

if i do a firmware update it always fixes it

prime jasper
#

is it your friends internet or his pc

rose eagle
#

he doesnt have a clue

#

just knows he gets booted

prime jasper
#

i watched a video which helped me a lot

#

i try to find it but what it told me to do was

#

disable all apps running in background through windows settings and change the wifi mode to a metered connection

rose eagle
#

wifi!

#

aint nobody use no wifi!

prime jasper
#

yeah i use wifi lol

storm osprey
#

ew

#

get out of here

rose eagle
#

spits

#

lol

prime jasper
#

my router is in the other room and there is a bathroom between if that makes sense

storm osprey
#

buy 100ft cable

rose eagle
#

use ethernet over power

#

anything is better than wifi gaming

prime jasper
#

id have to run the ethernet cable through the bathroom or across the entrance of it lol

storm osprey
#

route wire around door frame

prime jasper
#

aesthetics dude

rose eagle
#

get yo ass up in that attic

storm osprey
#

aesthetics my ass

#

i need a stable connection

prime jasper
#

lol

rose eagle
#

yea kinda like i needed surround sound

#

speaker wires are in baseboards

prime jasper
#

i could get another router plug installed in my room

#

or just adapter? dunno never heard of one

unborn epoch
#

what is a router plug

storm osprey
#

only used wire

#

wired master race

prime jasper
#

its like

#

rectangular slit

storm osprey
#

not wired

rose eagle
#

LOL

#

falls out of chair

prime jasper
#

which you put in the phone cable

#

you want to turn 1 connector into 2?

storm osprey

D:

rose eagle

lol

storm osprey
#

drill through walls, whatever, get wired

rose eagle
#

ethernet jack? O_o

prime jasper
#

ive also never experienced a monitor higher than 60 hertz or surround sound, just stereo

storm osprey
#

itll cost you some time and 20 bucks for a wire to get the best connection

#

go wired

rose eagle
#

time to off self

storm osprey
#

my god h2pho

#

actually

#

youre h1pho now

rose eagle
#

life is not worth living without wired internet, surround sound, and 144hz

storm osprey
#

you lost points

prime jasper
#

loool

unborn epoch
#

h3ph0 is now h0ph-3

rose eagle
#

h1ph-2

#

x_x

#

you harsh, -3

storm osprey
#

h0ph-3

prime jasper
#

does the ethernet actually give you more stable ping in game i thought it was just for dwonloading stuff

rose eagle
#

always more stable yo

storm osprey
#

it makes everything better

unborn epoch
#

wireless is doodoo for pretty much anything

rose eagle
#

your internet is in the AIR

#

susceptible to all kinds of interference

storm osprey
#

connection, ping, stability, dl rate

prime jasper
#

i get like 700kb per second

unborn epoch
#

your thick skull blocks all those signals

#

get wired

storm osprey
#

i pay for 100mbps, with wired i get 130

#

wireless i get 90

rose eagle
#

even a damn phone call coming in could piss it off

storm osprey
#

microwaves

rose eagle
#

mhmm mhmm

storm osprey
#

get wired

rose eagle
#

satellite TV

storm osprey
#

the cat

prime jasper
#

lol i think thats why when someone in my house is on the phone i cant play

rose eagle
#

fkin cats

#

"cant?"

#

like it disconnects you?

#

he got old school dsl, that'd be a riot

prime jasper
#

no just 100 ping or more

storm osprey
#

go wired for gods sakes

prime jasper
#

yes sir i will try

rose eagle
#

no we need more of a commitment than that

prime jasper
#

yes sir

rose eagle
#

BF Tech chan, fixing gamers 1 person at a time

#

60hz should be banned

#

1000dpi mice

storm osprey
#

i dont have anything surround either, but i have damn good heapones

prime jasper
#

how expensive is a monitor that is 144hz though

rose eagle
#

what else might people not even realize

#

$250?

storm osprey
#

200

#

acer 24" 144hz 1080p

rose eagle
#

i dont have surround for my PC but my home theater is a fkin beast

storm osprey
#

acer gn246hl i think

rose eagle
#

got like $5 grand in my HT setup

rose eagle
#

theres nothing like replicating the movie theater experience in your house πŸ˜„

prime jasper
#

do you watch movies in it

rose eagle
#

at 80db

storm osprey
#

sad i know the fucking model number by heart

prime jasper
#

lol

#

is it really popular/good

storm osprey
#

its the go to bang for buck 144hz monitor

rose eagle
#

the 24" Dell seems to be highly popular to our 27", just not as good a bargain

storm osprey
#

i had it before my current monitor

rose eagle
#

i wonder how well 144hz works without GSync

storm osprey
#

i know roughly 5 people with that mointor

rose eagle
#

Freesync adds input delays

#

err

#

Fastsync

prime jasper
#

is it worth getting a 27 inch one

rose eagle
#

always? πŸ˜„

storm osprey
#

27" is for 1440p imo

rose eagle
#

oh right that

#

yea you need a good gpu

storm osprey
#

ppi for 1080p at 27" is pretty high

rose eagle
#

damnit man! not everyone has the same budget

#

i know panda

#

so yea 24" for 1080p

prime jasper
#

i havent seen 4k but is there really a difference

rose eagle
#

27" 1440p requires a stout PC

storm osprey
#

4k overkill imo

rose eagle
#

fk 4k til 2030

storm osprey
#

1440p 27" imo is the sweet spot

rose eagle
#

if ever, tbh

#

what video card you got?

prime jasper
#

me?

rose eagle
#

y

prime jasper
#

gtx 1050

rose eagle
#

1080p

prime jasper
#

ya

rose eagle
#

1440p would reduce you to like 30fps

storm osprey
#

i dont even think a 1050 will push over 100fps at 1080p

#

unless youre playing overwatch or csgo

rose eagle
#

over 60 on V will be unlikely..

#

need a 1060 6gb

prime jasper
#

i will get over 60 on bfv

rose eagle
#

gsync prob isnt even helpful til 50+ fps?

prime jasper
#

no matter what it takes

storm osprey
#

gsync not in question here

prime jasper
#

i dont even know what gsync is

rose eagle
#

i mean, it is cause its godlike below the monitor refresh rate

storm osprey
#

magical tech

rose eagle
#

but i think it isnt useful super low

storm osprey
#

gets rid of stuttering and screen tearing, while barely adding input lag

prime jasper
#

what is the adapter called again that makes a normal 3 holed plug go to a rectangular slit

storm osprey
#

so vsync that works

rose eagle
#

3 hole plug, rectangle.. what πŸ˜„

prime jasper
#

uk plug

#

and

#

its like an ethernet plug

#

rectangle you know

rose eagle
#

to send ethernet over power?

prime jasper
#

uh

#

in the uk we connect the router to the wall with a cable that looks like an ehternet one

#

its like a slit in the wall that closes by itself

storm osprey
#

the phone jack connection?

prime jasper
#

yes

storm osprey
#

wait.. what?

#

we dont have anything in usa that closes by itself

rose eagle
#

id need a pic

prime jasper
#

and to power the router itself you just use a normal plug

#

it wont work without the phone jack connection in though

storm osprey
rose eagle
#

we dont have those power outlets looking like that

#

ours look similar but 1 is called the ground

prime jasper
#

yo my broadband has a new router should i get that

rose eagle
#

wont fix anything

prime jasper
#

the picture i sent yall is the phone jack connection

#

you see the lip closes by itself

storm osprey
#

yep, never seen that in my life

prime jasper
#

you have to push it up to put something in it

storm osprey
#

thats what she said

prime jasper
#

its called the master socket

#

wtf is wrong with me i type things and it makes sense in my head but it comes out garbled

#

just normal typos i guess

#

my brain auto corrects it

#

what is ADSL

#

or VDSL

#

google

rose eagle
#

btw, still no BSODs since uninstalling iCUE

#

thank god that was it and i didnt blame the 2070

#

this needs to be a fking PSA somewhere

prime jasper
#

this is what i was looking for

#

still doesnt explain how to move the master socket to another room actually, i think its nearly impossible without calling someone to do it for ya

#

does TP link work yall? its like ethernet but it uses your existing cables in the wall right

storm osprey
#

i use tp link stuff

prime jasper
#

its not ethernet (or is it)

#

you just plug it in two separate points in the house and they connect and the waves go through the cables that are already in your walls or something

#

just wondering if it works/should i get it

storm osprey
#

lol dude i have no idea

#

but no i say get wire directly from router to your pc

rose eagle
#

yea im out since this is now majorly uncharted territory lol

#

i did my good deed for the day posting my BSOD findings on Nvidia and Corsair forums

#

the reward will be any replies with OMG THANK YOU to either

#

taps foot waiting for human acceptance

prime jasper
#

good job your BSOD will go to new lengths in learning more about our world

@unborn epoch mmo fps games

#

it's completely legal on battlenet

unborn epoch
#

what

#

i forgot what i said

prime jasper
#

you considered it illegal

#

but it's legal for real.

storm osprey
#

what headphones are those synth?

prime jasper
#

Sennheiser HD598SR

#

m20'es i think

#

the ones i current;ly use are 598SR's.

storm osprey
#

what do you think about them?

prime jasper
#

yeh it was m20x

#

really good sound stage on sr's

#

not as powerful as hd58x masssdrops but great for gaming

storm osprey
#

you try the 58x for gaming?

prime jasper
#

wide sound which can very accurate for bf series games using hifi/wartapes sound setting

#

no. i've met on fb their owners

#

they got hd600's and hd58x's

languid acorn
#

I use the Hyper x Stingers. I love em, but I want to upgrade soon because the jack is messed up

#

it's all jacked up

storm osprey
#

wait for black friday and look for the sennheiser hd 598

#

i hear they go for around 100

prime jasper
#

if ur in us or around uk/america get hd58x'es from massdrop

#

or ath-ad700x

storm osprey
#

i have the 700x

#

6xx, and 58x

prime jasper
#

hd58x is basically hd 600/650's

#

but cheaper price as they come as massdrop exclusive.

#

m20x'es could be better, the actual problem is their pads-hurts head sides alot

languid acorn
#

i need the ones that go over the ear. Like ear cups almost. Everything else kills my ears

storm osprey
#

58x more like lil brother of 660, and 6xx is the 650, but they are all pretty much the same but with different signatures / strength / weaknesses

prime jasper
#

some headphones from samson rivals the m20x'es so hard that m20x looks as not worth the price

storm osprey
#

@languid acorn yea 598 are over ear

prime jasper
#

sennheiser hd 58x/650/660s and 600's are extreme;y comfy

#

doesnt feel like youre wearing them at all

storm osprey
#

after you wear them for a week or 2, because that clamp at first is real

prime jasper
#

the clamp is feelable

#

but it doesnt hurt nor tires. can be worn kinda forever

#

just like beyerdynamic dt 990pro's.

storm osprey
#

i felt like it was a little too clampy, felt like i got headaches from it

prime jasper
#

could be, but they're decent

#

great all rounder headphones for music, gaming, streaming and music production.

storm osprey
#

i feel the 990s are more all arounder than the others

rose eagle
#

ok all a sudden BF1 is missing like 5 rows in center

#

and they're moved to the right

storm osprey
#

?

rose eagle
#

5 rows of pixels are moved to the right of my screen

#

i dunno how to explain lol

storm osprey
#

tf?

rose eagle
#

the middle is cut pasted

#

indeed..

#

rebooting

#

its in fkin windows also

#

whew

#

that was fkd

#

annoyance, every time i boot into windows i have to click nvidia settings to trigger my color changes

storm osprey
#

hmm

#

isnt there a way to make it launch on boot?

rose eagle
#

i mean its supposed to just happen

#

"This is a known bug caused by the windows 10 fall creators update. No fix yet. Nvidia is working on it."

#

cool i bet its a new 1803 issue

#

again... windows 10 update strikes at worst time right when i reformat

#

and causes me another unknown problem

#

really reformatted at the worst timing

prime raptor
#

You can just turn your monitor off and back on again @rose eagle

#

At least that does it for me

#

For me it's a gsync issue

#

or my monitor firmware

#

I forgot which exactly

#

pretty sure its my monitor tbh

rustic hinge
#

I’ve had problems with it before I even had a Gsync monitor

prime raptor
#

I didn't before I got my new monitor

#

so your milage may vary it seems

#

But I literally just turn my monitor off then back on. Which takes like a second.

#

Which makes it seem like a firmware issue on my monitor it seems.

#

and I have a 1080ti, while panda man has a 2070 iirc

#

Different arch, different issues

rose eagle
#

I've had it a year, first time I've seen it

prime raptor
#

well

#

you dun fudged up

Anyone here build computers or PC savvy? Just have one question. For Battlefield V, i'm not sure if it is cpu or gpu dependant. Wondering what I should upgrade for this build to have a decent leap to 144frames? Feel free to message me. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11876664

lofty light
#

Hmm, you overclocked the CPU?

#

Plus are you running graphics at low?

#

My CPU is one model up from yours but I'm GPU bound ATM

red ingot
#

From experience battlefield is usually both gpu and cpu heavy

#

But gpu > cpu still ofc

lofty light
#

It's very CPU heavy but that CPU is good

red ingot
#

Yeah it is

#

I have a 4770k and I've been running fine (pretty much on par)

#

Imo if you want to upgrade I'd upgrade the gpu, but I think u should be fine for 144fps if u run low

fiery oracle
#

Heavy on the cpu

gentle dawn
#

yeet

#

does the minimum system requirements account for actual fights with aton of shit going on for bf4

somber tendon
#

im still using 4790k + MSI 980 TI to play BF1 @1440p ultra

#

will do the same for Battlefield V with a few settings tone down (e.g. Post Processing Ultra to Medium ) because at 1440p u cant really the difference

#

mayb im wrong

#

i may consider going for i7 8700k + MSI 1080TI or the RTX 2080 in the future

prime jasper
#

get 1920x TR4, isnt very pricy, about 400eur/usd. about 30% less single core perf comparing to the 8700k, depending on what you're doing-gaming/streaming/rendering.

somber tendon
#

just gaming only

rose eagle
#

There's zero reason to upgrade a 4790k for 1440p

#

As far as the 980 for V and 1440 I have to assume that's not targeting 144hz gsync ;p

opal wharf
#

Please is there anybody knows a lot about hardware? I need to ask something

prime jasper
#

alot of people know about hardware in here

#

just ask away

red ingot
#

^

#

What's your question @opal wharf

red ingot
#

@neon mauve what did u upgrade from tho

#

Like add another 8gb to 8gb to make 16? That's a significant upgrade

neon mauve
#

Yeah

red ingot
#

yeah that's probably why

neon mauve
#

Back before PS4/xb1 gen 8gb was good enough

red ingot
#

But afaik ram speed doesn't usually have a major impact on fps

#

Meh

neon mauve
#

For some reason fallout 4 dis

red ingot
#

enough but not great

green nebula
#

some games do, some don't

red ingot
#

Some do some dont what?

green nebula
#

But like 16gb will improve the experience with mods games if they were running on 8gb prior

neon mauve
#

1600MHz: 36.0/54.6
2133MHz: 39.0/61.0
2400MHz: 44.0/66.9
That’s a 22 per cent increase in performance

#

So I went into the BIOS and over clocked it

red ingot
#

Huh

#

Interesting

#

Well rip me for being stuck on ddr3

green nebula
#

ouch

red ingot
#

Dont wanna go through a whole cpu/mobo/ram upgrade rn

green nebula
#

Well it still does its job

red ingot
#

Yeah

#

Will hopefully get an upgrade next year

#

And hopefully 10nm is out

#

Then I can have a solid upgrade for a while

green nebula
#

I'm seriously contemplating getting Ryzen 7 2700x

#

Because you know, Gaming and 3d Modeling

red ingot
#

I'm just a shitty nvidia/Intel fanboy :(

green nebula
#

Me too, but seriously, the Ryzen 2700x is great

red ingot
#

Idk I had an 8350 at one point and it was good

#

But meh

#

Idk I guess I'll have to decide next year

storm osprey
#

ryzen 7nm

red ingot
#

This year is monitor upgrade, next year is everything else

#

Damn

#

Well hopefully Intel skips 10nm then lol

#

If they wanna stay competitive

#

Othereise ryzen for me

storm osprey
#

afaik intel is having problems even getting 10nm working

red ingot
#

Havent really stayed on top of cpus lately

#

Damn

#

Well that's a big plus for AMD

#

I'm glad actually it's about time they caught a break

storm osprey
#

its suggested 10nm will come out end of next year

red ingot
#

Yeah

#

But ryzen should still theoretically outperform it then if it's on 7nm np?

#

No?*

green nebula
#

Maybe, maybe not.

#

But still Ryzen is pretty decent for its price

red ingot
#

Yeah

#

Probably outperforms top intel CPU right now then right?

#

Like the 9900k I think it is

green nebula
#

Hang on

#

Somebody made a Ryzen 7 2700x vs i9 9900K video

#

can't find it

storm osprey
#

7nm is supposed to put it on the same level for ipc as intel

red ingot
#

Ipc?

storm osprey
#

individual performance count?

green nebula
#

Well iirc, basically the Ryzen 2700x is slightly under the i9 9900k, but for twice as much in price.

storm osprey
#

i dont remember what its called

#

is it icp?

#

individiual core performance

#

that sounds right

green nebula
#

HUZZAH

#

(There's really a lot of techno mumbo jumbo in that video though)

#

and its 30 min long

red ingot
#

Ah thank u sir

#

I'll probably watch it later

#

I've got too much free time these days anyways...

green nebula
#

I know that feels mate, you know until BFV comes out

Ughhh

#

Dont remind me

#

12 days

#

I got digital deluxe just for the 5 day early access

#

Or well I bought it way back when it was Oct release and 3 day early access

#

If I had known that premier members were getting even earlier access I would've gotten that but whatever

#

that DDR3 test isnt sufficient info, its running on an i5 4690k which is horrible

#

any i5 that isnt 6c6t is bad for gaming

#

i7 4c8t cpu's dont suffer framerate issues like the older i5s

deffs a bad game file

prime jasper
#

a re-install should fix

#

or does origin have that thing

#

where you it searches through all your files in the games folder

#

and will download any missing files

#

/ fix any bad ones

The blue red grenn flickering happens sometimes with amd cards, do you use an amd card?

1080ti is now hitting low stocks

#

Enjoy buying self destructing RTX cards now

wet notch
#

self destructing RTX cards?

steep gust
#

@storm osprey IPC = instructions per clock

Also don't listen to leaks

#

Intel has a lead over Rzyen with IPC

#

@prime jasper RTX cards aren't not dying at any rate faster than normal

prime jasper
#

Yah they are?

steep gust
#

Source?

#

Because the AIBs and Nvidia have said they aren't dying any more than normal

prime jasper
#

β€œNvidia have said”

#

Nvidia also said they don’t force devs to use their software but a few billion in lawsuits says otherwise

steep gust
#

Also wow its so hard to RMA

#

Nvidia cant force people to use their software

Get a proper source or find a better argument

prime jasper
#

Enjoy

#

You right, nvidia can’t force people but monetary incentives can which is why they’ve been whacked with anti-trust & anti-monopoly lawsuits

steep gust
#

Also fun fact

It seems to be an issue with the GDDR6 modules running too hot and dying

Not the actual GPU thonk

#

And are pretty much limited to founders editions which you shouldn't buy anyways

prime jasper
#

The current stocks? @plain vessel

steep gust
#

1080TI is pretty sold out of stock

#

Production for the 1080TI has ended

While the lower end might have had production for longer due to release dates and demand is higher on budget cards

#

@red ingot The 9900k is better than the 2700x.

Outside of price to performance.

Also node shrinks don't not mean more performance increases. Its more of an efficiency thing

Leaks are not to be listened to for CPUs or any PC component. You cant run a 9900k at 5.3ghz daily with an air cooler yet the leaks sure made it seem like it was possible

prime jasper
#

9900k runs so damn hot

red ingot
#

thank you @steep gust

#

and yah i know node shrinks don't necessarily mean performance increase, although I was under the impression that efficiency and performance are usually correlated

#

unless i'm mistaken

#

so as in i guess in a sense usually node shrink = more performance

#

correlation rather than causation

#

whats the best i can buy to build a pc with 600-800$ budget?

red ingot
#

just pc? (no monitor, os, peripherals, etc.)

prime jasper
#

include that

#

region?

#

assuming either US or CAD?

prime jasper
#

US

red ingot
#

ok

#

does anyone know how to get rid of this "lost connection to session" error

#

whats the cheapest intel 4 core cpu

prime jasper
#

restart your device

#

i've tried that, i've tried running origin and bf1 as administrator, i've tried deleting cache in the bf1 folder in documents and programdata

#

flushed dns reinstalled drivers restarted services

#

i had this issue 2 days ago but it seemed to go away after running as admin and deleting avast,
came back the next day and nothing's worked so far

Maybe because your antivirus was blocking the network connection to EA servers.

#

@prime jasper Never use Avast

#

Way too many false positives

#

Find yourself a better one

#

You'll always have more issues with it, than problems it solves

#

Also yeah, rip, 1080ti stocks are getting low, prices are 100% going up on them now

#

Now we'll be stuck with shitty RTX cards until next gen, if you want to upgrade, or an over priced 10XX card

#

Just use Defender. Improved a lot since 1709
