chilly osprey
i just wish i can afford to build one
#technology
storm osprey
yea, its nice having a build you dont worry about
fallen girder
are there any workarounds for settings not saving? couldnt find anything on pinned posts
rose eagle
alright.. my FPS is sandbagged
this was on Narvik Frontlines so not even too heavy
mild snowstorm going on, but its not even ultra, its the optimal viewing settings with 4 ultra rest low/off
way too many frames under 60 and some insanely low
storm osprey
have you tried rtx yet?
rose eagle
when i cant even run this? no lol
2070 isnt meant for RTX
esp not on 1440p x_x
i bet it wont even run it SP
but thats where ill try, if i ever do SP
storm osprey
lol i saw that rtx put fps on 2070 at 1440p at like 20 something fps
rose eagle
sounds about right, if even that
i need someone to follow me around in squad for a 60s test
split storm
Panda can't run the game?
rose eagle
same settings, 1440p
split storm
Join the club
rose eagle
i mean it runs fine 95% of the time, im just not happy that it EVER hitches
storm osprey
BUT, thats not accurate, if someone follows you, there is a different factor
rose eagle
on a 2070
its close enough
i mean at least same map same area
the only results i have from anyone from BF1 are who knows what map and where
that we were comparing to each other
rose eagle
what you got?
i played for the first time last night and it was "fine" but i wasnt running fps bench
today on narvik though during snow, yuck
split storm
30fps, on low with 25% rendering
On the least demanding map of the game
Is there even any excuse for this except DICE being terrible like they always are?
split storm
4770 with a slight overclock, on 1080p yeah
split storm
Nope, DX12 makes the game crash
autumn vigil
DX12 is broken on BF1 and BFV
rose eagle
such a weird problem, what you using to test that in game? windows is meh
afterburner?
or is there an in game command
split storm
The 3 of them lol
Perfoverlay.drawfps 1
I have afterburner running too
And I have a peek at the task manager sometimes too
sonic osprey
@split storm RX480 is like worse than gtx660 on raw performance
sonic osprey
well gpu bechmark says so, but there is only 2 samples of it so, shrug
rose eagle
i mean, dont use userbench website
for FPS tests on specific games
you can use it for relative power with the % thing but thats it
sonic osprey
they are just raw performance though
rose eagle
its a little worse than 1060 6gb
sonic osprey
but yeah rx480 should be better than gtx660 lol, at least by how new the card is, have not own an amd card like 12 years
rose eagle
depending on game
i mean it "should" run the game like 60fps
some of these maps are brutal atm
got some bad feeling V is much more intense on CPU
spiral spade
my game has terrible perf today
I had 80 fps average with 1060 6gb and now I deep often below 40 which I never did before
split storm
That's pretty much what I'm having on medium yeah
prime jasper
i have a 570 and i have trouble getting above 50fps on 1440p low
used to run at 70fps at high 1440p
unborn epoch
have you turned on future frame rendering
flint locust
570.... isn't that an 8 year old card?
green nebula
flint locust
i would hope
prime jasper
Anyone have a fix for getting the error "Server Disconnected: Connection to EA Online timed out. Your network bandwidth and/or network latency may not meet the requirements for this game"
Just started getting it about 20m ago, can't join any server now.

grave turtle
@prime jasper Maybe this will help : https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/ 
prime jasper
I looked there, no help - thank you though.
Again, had no problem 20 minutes ago - this has just started.
grave turtle
Mhmm :/
@prime jasper Maybe the advanced Version will help ^^ - https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/
prime jasper
I'll take a look, we'll see. I've already tried flushing DNS which is the first thing they recommend so I'm not hopeful 😦
grave turtle
You can do it ! Just do it! 
crude storm
4th time i get a black screen after deploy and i can only hardreset my pc!
grave turtle
@crude storm Its getting fixed soon
crude storm
windows likes it very much to get a forced restart
prime jasper
I got the deluxe edition and it says im still too early
grave turtle
You should be able to play it which timezone are you?
grave turtle
mhmm you can't push the PLay button right ?
prime jasper
Yeah was given a code by a very nice person
grave turtle
Ahh yeah you got it from Twitch right ?
grave turtle
Ahh yes I remember, yeah close everything from origin and open it again maybe this will help ^^
grave turtle
ohh than restart your Xbox maybe this will help 😄
prime jasper
Did multiple times
grave turtle
Okay than do it your Way
prime jasper
Ill let you know in 383892 years when my internet finally downloads it
grave turtle
Okay ^^
split storm
Tfw worse system than mine are getting better performances
spiral spade
Dice fucked up with the last maj, we probably will have to wait
prime jasper
Is this a joke? i must have everything on low and 100 in res scale on my i7 7700k, 1080, 32gb ram etc for get like 100fps!? is this game for real?
guys
my ram will be 2400mhz
but my future 1060 will iit work with that
or is it just motherboard that cares
help
storm osprey
only mb cares
and performance as well, depends on cpu
AMD is more ram dependent than intel
it will all work
prime jasper
ok nice
storm osprey
youll just take a performance loss
storm osprey
if you have AMD
prime jasper
no idont
storm osprey
then 2400 iirc is just fine for intel cpus
prime jasper
why does my 1060 say its less than 2400mhz
storm osprey
thats the rams speed itself
prime jasper
the graphic card has its own ram
prime jasper
does that not matter if its not the same as 2400mhz
storm osprey
that has nothing to do with ram at all
prime jasper
oh ok
prime jasper
ya i understand
storm osprey
also, they just announced the rx 590, depending on price you might want to get that vs a 1060
announced/released
mystic latch
storm osprey
dont worry about gpu compatibility, as long as you have a pcie slot and psu thats good enough, there is no other concerns
prime jasper
will the thing work though if i have ddr4 ram with a 1060 6gb , i5 7400 and my motherboard
think it was H110M motherboard
storm osprey
doesnt matter
a gpu will work with an old ass computer
basically as long as you have enough psu power
prime jasper
is my motherboard/cpu really shitty or is it ok
storm osprey
to my knowledge gpu doesnt care at all, it will work on a shitty mb too, youll just lose performance
the ONLY actual consideration for GPU is psu wattage
prime jasper
will my cpu bottleneck my gpu
storm osprey
and of course, physical space
no, that cpu wont bottleneck a 1060
basically the i5 7400 is the bang for buck gaming cpu
it will pair with just about anything and not hinder it
yes, youll get more fps at 1080p from better cpus, but the price you pay for those better cpus does not make sense for the fps gains
you get maybe 10% more performance, but paid 30% more
prime jasper
what about my motherboard
storm osprey
did you list a mb?
prime jasper
Asus H110M-R/C/SI (Socket-1151, 2x DDR4, Micro-ATX)
prime jasper
its already in there
wait if it was micro would it fill the whole back of the pc
i have a feeling my r5 1400 is bottlenecking my 570
wanst micro
i used to get far better frames
like 60-70 at medium/high @1440p
now its 40-50
storm osprey
depends what case you have
prime jasper
wait really?
storm osprey
if youre case is a micro atx case, and you have a micro atx mb, it will fill the whole space
prime jasper
i've checked my temps they dont go above 65
storm osprey
if you have a mid sized atx case, and you put a micro atx mb in there you will have a bunch of extra space
prime jasper
oh different discussion lol
storm osprey
@prime jasper those previous replies were for hepho
prime jasper
other people have been complaining about performance loss recently in bf1 too
storm osprey
also, if youre talking about bfv performances, i wouldnt take that as any indication to your hardware
prime jasper
idk if its just bad optimisation or
storm osprey
game barely "launched"
prime jasper
elosant do u have latest drivers
steep gust
It looks terrible
prime jasper
bf1 not bfv, which is mainly why im skeptical of buying bfv if bf1 isn't optimised well enough
i have that betrayed lol
updated like a week ago
i dont mind it
didnt notice it until now
there is a new one eolsant
elosant
get it
i'll try it
steep gust
Looks tho
prime jasper
it will help a lot
prime jasper
tfw your mobo costs more than my cpu and gpu combined
is the gpu connected to the motherboard at all
steep gust
tfw your GPU costs more than your CPU and motherboard combined
steep gust
Slot doesn't really matter
prime jasper
is the ram stick the only thing its connected to
storm osprey
its been a while since i have checked, but all i know is that there is a difference, and theres no reason to not put it in top slot
steep gust
Unless you are rocking a 2080ti you will have a different bottleneck before PCIe bandwidth
prime jasper
i only have one slot
storm osprey
you only have one pcie slot?
storm osprey
micro usually comes with 2, mini itx usually comes with 1
prime jasper
ya i got mini
steep gust
@plain vessel I wouldn't recommend running any modern GPU on a motherboard that only supports PCIe 2.0 🤷
While it will work
Its not recommendable
CPU
Don't buy an expensive GPU if your CPU is going to be the limiting factor
Same with RAM
storm osprey
yea everything in balance
but its not gonna just not work
dont get a 2080ti and pair it with a pentium
steep gust
You can do that depending on your resolution
steep gust
There are 8k monitors
unborn epoch
Get an agp to pcie adapter
steep gust
Also 4k with RTX on runs like dogshit (in BFV) so any CPU will be fine
storm osprey
i dont think a pentium will do well running bfv
4c4t cpus struggle on bfv
well, everything does atm
unborn epoch
It runs good for me
steep gust
Pentiums are generally 2c4t
unborn epoch
Ultra sits between 90 and 110 fps. Low at 154
storm osprey
that my point, if a 4c4t cpu struggles, why wouldnt a pentium
prime jasper
is battlefeild 5 basically a kickstarter now
steep gust
I got 140-150fps at Ultra in the beta
unborn epoch
I wish i got that
steep gust
Buy better hardware
unborn epoch
You buy a better monitor
steep gust
a 1080 / 8600k @5.1ghz is a little pricy (and silicon lottery)
yeah but I can't afford a 1440p 144hz monitor
and then I'll want to upgrade to a 2080 / 1080ti to stay on the leading edge of it
storm osprey
you have a 1080 / 8600k for 1080p?
steep gust
Ye
storm osprey
jesus
steep gust
Little overkill
unborn epoch
storm osprey
yea, a little
unborn epoch
No wonder you get 150fps
I run a 1080ti btw
Im not autistic enough to upgrade to 2080ti
steep gust
if the 2080 falls in price, it won't be terrible
Currently sitting at around 750-850
Which was 1080ti range
unborn epoch
ya still not an upgrade for me
steep gust
I'll probably still buy a 1080ti if I can find a used one with a high power limit (something like a FTW3)
I fucking hate the 120% power limit on my 1080
prime jasper
Is this a joke? i must have everything on low and 100 in res scale on my i7 7700k, 1080, 32gb ram etc for get like 100fps!? is this game for real?
rigid knoll
@prime jasper did you enable future frame rendering?
prime jasper
@rigid knoll yes!
unborn epoch
7700k is hardly dated lol
prime jasper
I test boost mode to 4.8 nothing better....
storm osprey
i mean, at 1440p, my 4790 (which is definitely dated) will AT WORST have like 20 frames less than an 8700k
steep gust
7700k is dated
It was part of Intel's no competition 4c CPU years
Now as more games take advantage of 6c+ CPUs (BFV)
An 8600k is cheaper and performs better for games 🤷
unborn epoch
your 8600k is dated
you can buy 9600k and it's faster
you get like one frame per second man, sicc
storm osprey
yes its cheaper, supply and demand, yes it will perform better, but it without a doubt not worth "upgrading" for
unborn epoch
technically any piece of hardware you buy is dated a week later, doesn't mean you should call it dated
storm osprey
its barely getting worth upgrading my 4790 to a 9700k for 1440p
unborn epoch
stop hurting my 7700k's feelings
prime jasper
@grave turtle Just reinstalled, Still states too earl
unborn epoch
(i love you boo)
prime jasper
early
unborn epoch
hopefully near future intel chips get better, i'd like to build a proper workstation for 3d and development stuff
from what i've see nthe 9900k gets very hot
storm osprey
im still waiting on ryzen or epyc 7nm
unborn epoch
the core race is dope
storm osprey
i dont think 7nm will put amd in front of intel for gaming performance, but i want to give them my money...
unborn epoch
i just want to see both parties do good
and i want to see intel do good in the dedicated gpu market
chrome flint
I am kinda bored
steep gust
Actually
chrome flint
Anyone need help with anything?
steep gust
The 9600k is pretty much an 8600k with sTIM
So its worse than a 8600k with a delid
The core race is worthless for the average consumer
nocturne abyss
Is it possible in dual monitor PC setups to put a live full battlefield map of the game you are playing using the console or maybe an app ?
unborn epoch
nyet
bright cape
that would be cool
unborn epoch
who cares about the average consumer, lol. They just use dumbed down high-end tech.
analog kernel
will finished BETA test of BFV in this year?
grave turtle
@prime jasper Mhmm than hit up the Support maybe they will help you ^^
prime jasper
Would an "Acer Nitro 5" be able to run BFV?
storm osprey
i see a laptop, i say no
rain fox
What happened with the new update? Now I don't seem to be able to start the game?!
prime jasper
It's the only thing in my budget... Until I get a good job to get a desktop
storm osprey
700 bucks?
prime jasper
Well, my parents are buying it since I don't got a good job yet, it's all they could afford, can't get me a 1K Gaming PC
It's a budget gaming laptop
CPU: 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-8300H (quad-core, 8MB cache, up to 4.0GHz)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 ( 4GB VRAM); Intel UHD Graphics 630
unborn epoch
it'll be ehh
prime jasper
Like, what's the most I can go up to? Not ultra obviously
unborn epoch
low
if you compare the 1050 it's worse in some areas and a bit better in others compared to the gtx 660 which is the minimum requirement dice recommends
storm osprey
unborn epoch
that's the correct answer, thanks Nyphon
storm osprey
if you need monitor, i can move stuff around
unborn epoch
just buy a cheap ass 60hz monitor
it's not like the screen in a laptop is going to be good
storm osprey
i didnt include windows, because i know most people just bootleg it or get a shady copy somewhere for super cheap
@prime jasper look above
unborn epoch
you can get an OEM key for $5 😄
You simply wont be able to play bfv on that laptop unfortunately
prime jasper
Well I wanted a Desktop but my parents thought a Laptop is better for a beginning again till I get a better job
unborn epoch
You are better off building a computer like Nyphon linked you.
No, you can't upgrade a laptop.
storm osprey
tell them the performance you get from a laptop just doesnt compare to a desktop at the same price
storm osprey
if you dont need portable gaming
but need something for school, get a chromebook or something
hell i can budget a better gaming desktop and a chromebook for 700 bucks
and we havent thought of the used market either
prime jasper
Well, the laptop is needed so I can move around and it'll just be gaming
unborn epoch
in that case you're shit out of luck unfortunately 😦
rain fox
Anyone else had issues with starting BFV via origin?
prime jasper
Hmmm, IS the laptop a good gaming laptop for other games?
unborn epoch
sure, battlefield is a very heavy game
there are plenty of games that run fine on that laptop
storm osprey
yea, asking to run bf in general is asking to run one of the most demanding games
theres only a handful of games that are harder to run
prime jasper
Like GTA? If you can tell me the "highest demanding game" that it can run?
unborn epoch
gta 5 has much lower requirements
To be honest I'm not sure which games are more demanding than battlefield maxed out
prime jasper
I'm very new to gaming PC's I only had consoles till this year
unborn epoch
I would rethink buying a laptop though.
I get it, mobility and all. But does your gaming setup really need to be mobile?
prime jasper
That's all they will buy me
unborn epoch
If you really have discussed it, that'll be your only choice and you should take it for sure.
quiet coyote
unborn epoch
You will have plenty of games to play but a laptop for gaming is moneywise a bad choice.
Because you get more performance per dollar, your computer will manage to play the newest games longer
Tell em' you'll mow the lawn or something. 
prime jasper
I'll obviously make an upgrade once I get money, so take the laptop?
unborn epoch
Do you have a choice?
What are your options.
Can you take the $700 and buy parts yourself? So many questions.
prime jasper
That's all they gave me, they looked up budget gaming laptops and that is good at performance
I'm broke, used my money on BF5 xD. but will get a better job next year so I can wait. I bought BF5 on PS4 so that's good for now
unborn epoch
Ok, but you can't upgrade your laptop (you can but it will be extremely limited). You can completely replace your laptop though but that's going to be expensive.
Do you have PC games in mind that you want to explore?
rigid knoll
Save the money and play on PS4 since you have one
unborn epoch
It's not his money.
prime jasper
You can check my wishlist on steam, those are the games I'll hopefully be playing
rigid knoll
Money is money
unborn epoch
So far, as I understood. You have the option of taking the laptop or nothing.
prime jasper
Yes
unborn epoch
Is your steam account public?
prime jasper
Yes should be
unborn epoch
Ok so all the games you listed in your wishlist will easily run on that laptop.
prime jasper
Really? That's absolutely wonderful news
unborn epoch
Just not battlefield V, that game is painfully demanding
prime jasper
I was hoping I can play and record so, that is very helpful
unborn epoch
but you own it on PS4 so you can shoot some soldiers up on that platform
recording should be possible using shadowplay (nvidia's software)
prime jasper
Oh, I was gonna use OBS
prime jasper
?
unborn epoch
you'll see it as an option once you set up obs
Honestly, when you start to record you're going to be testing what settings work for you anyway
prime jasper
So, all the games can be played on Ultra or High?
storm osprey
@unborn epoch the only thing i can think of would be tomb raiders
unborn epoch
I wouldn't aim for ultra-high
half life and half life 2 are older games, those work fine
Actually, most games will run on max settings now I see the list again
arma 3 is probably too heavy
to play at the highest settings, that is
prime jasper
Only arma 3?
unborn epoch
you might want to dial down on gta5
prime jasper
on the graphics or I can't have the traffic up high or anything like that?
storm osprey
you can mess with so many settings you can fine tune what you want
unborn epoch
yeah
and you'll see that certain graphic settings wont matter or influence the experience at all
storm osprey
i have a good pc, but i turn everything low but textures, because i like high fps and everything else doesnt make much of a difference to me
unborn epoch
to be honest, I have a very fast computer and prefer certain settings on low
ya, high five
storm osprey
textures are really the only thing i think make a game look like poo if its on low
prime jasper
Again, I'm new to gaming PC's so I wanna see the graphics at the best xD
unborn epoch
most games in that list will be able to do so
rigid knoll
If I may suggest, ask for them to set aside the money, to be used together when you've made another 700 from working. Then get much better value for the total sum.
unborn epoch
pc gaming isn't only about max graphics, there are so many smaller games that have very unique gamepay. That's what makes PC gaming great
yes, i agree with drhzrd, if that's an optionat all
storm osprey
pc for me is being able to have the experience i want, yes it might be at a cost, but its an option
the other thing is having options
i can have high fps, or crank up settings
unborn epoch
most important thing for me is access to communities, voice chat etc.
storm osprey
i like deciding my experience, vs console, the devs tell me what they want
icy smelt
Anyone else getting either a freeze or black screen in between rounds? Doing my head in
unborn epoch
Only played few games today, but no issues.
icy smelt
It's hit and miss weather it happens, but annoying as fook!
prime jasper
Well, I want to get my YouTube up with content again so I can live easily with the laptop if It can run those games on steam. I will have enough games to entertain me awhile
unborn epoch
In that case go for it. You are certainly able to record and edit those games on that laptop.
prime jasper
Thank you very much, that is very helpful
unborn epoch
Give us a shoutout once you hit that 1m subscriber goal
dibs on half of the playbutton
storm osprey
"shout out to nick and nyphon/orangefeffy for helping in bfv official discord tech channel"
unborn epoch
that's it
prime jasper
If I actually explode that is, I have a friend that is up there in subs to help. one with 249K and the other is 684K
storm osprey
idk if i have any subs...
unborn epoch
Those are hefty numbers.
storm osprey
2 maybe?
unborn epoch
That's about infinitely more than I have.
I am just a youtube scrub. Lurking in the darkness.
prime jasper
Gotta friend them when they are low xD. The 249K on I knew when he had 1K and we became good friends. the other was his friend that i hope is fully willing to help
unborn epoch
That's what friends are for
prime jasper
I currently have 74 subs or so and I barely post xD
unborn epoch
Also to give me pizza money.
storm osprey
lol tf
prime jasper
Since he is a kids YouTuber some kids subscribe to the mods I guess xD but other people subed to me for some reason xD
unborn epoch
I wish you the best of luck. I'm brb on a mission to free me from hunger.
storm osprey
not a problemo
tis what the tech channel is for
if you ever got hardware questions you can ask, im into pc, mice, keebs, and headphones
rose eagle
well, 9700k is in stock again it seems but at the inflated pos price of $410
storm osprey
what is supposed to be msrp
rose eagle
375
storm osprey
i mean, its not THAT much more
rose eagle
yea but im not updating unless things are slashed like 50% 😄
like this ASRock mobo on sale for $110 is nuts
storm osprey
nice
yea im gonna see what amd does, at the very least id imagine price cuts at the time amd launches their next cpus and ill nab a 9700k then
but i dont need a 9700k
i could do fine with an i5..
rose eagle
eh, future proofing
if i only have to upgrade my rig once every 6 years i call that good
storm osprey
warm apple pie
rose eagle
aaaand howw
my wife stood up to my getting onto her today regarding the kid and it flipped that switch
unborn epoch
tell us more
rose eagle
no sir!
when i married her she had a strong will about her, somehow she turned into someone letting herself get ran over so maybe this will change, im all for it
didnt marry a door matt, go get ya some balls! lol
it got triggered from the kid turning off the TV over and over while she was watching something

ooh didnt know EVGA did that nice LED to 10xx cards also
perty
you crazy! look at dat offset monitor!
i should prob do that and face my gaming monitor straight on
unborn epoch
ya
rose eagle
maybe im the nut job who looks left
though unfortunately my audio comes out of my secondary monitor when not using headset
unborn epoch
straight monitor woks for me
buy cheap speakers
not like the monitor speakers are good or anything
rose eagle
they're good for when i barely need to hear something and wife not get pissed
my PC is in living room
rose eagle
any attempts to convince woman to do something is always fail
z370 vs z390 is just some basic onboard features like wifi isnt it?
unborn epoch
z390 has 3,1 ports
where z370 hasn't
i mean, capability
other than that, i think wifi is the only difference
unborn epoch
i haven't really heard of anything going higher and having an effect at all
rose eagle
i need faster than 1ms report rate! 😄
unborn epoch
old man, you dont even need 125hz

rose eagle
ive been top 1 on team a couple times, this old dog can still hang with plebs
rose eagle
as long as im above the cut on "normies" im happy
when squads come in with tactical surgical precision, yea.. dont care
never aim to be that good, dont have the time
storm osprey
how old are you guys?
storm osprey
im 27
storm osprey
what is that?1
unborn epoch
it roughly means you are in the top 0.5% of cs global offensive matchmaking
storm osprey
ffs
i never got that into csgo, but when i was actually playing ranked solo just winging it off aim, i got to top 20% i believe
cant imagine top .5%
thats like knowing every flash bang
storm osprey
yea i figured thats what it was
unborn epoch
cs has been my jam since the very early days of counter-strike
I remember it quite well, the mod came out a few days after my birthday. I was 13 at the time.
Well it released on steam
there were betas before that
storm osprey
i think i started right when 1.5 ended
rose eagle
i like my main gaming screen straight ahead but it makes me look way right to look at my secondary ;P
unborn epoch
ye that's why I have my screen further away
I dont use my secondary screen much anyway
only use it to see who messaged me on discord or steam when I'm gaming
and right now spotify, but really I use shortcuts on my keyboard to control that app
rose eagle
i chat too much
unborn epoch
ya, i do that on my main screen when i'm not gaming
rose eagle
moving stuff, you madman
unborn epoch
that's how much you guys mean to me
rose eagle
my 2nd monitor being off left would be ideal but def not used to that
yea i guess if im not gaming this should just be right in front
im sure ill game 100x better with a monitor the same orientation as my kb!
storm osprey
i had a second monitor at home, but i unplugged it every time i gamed
so it was never plugged in...
unborn epoch
haha
storm osprey
hated losing like 10 fps
storm osprey
im not really sure what it was, or if i ACTUALLY lost fps
but i just felt like i did
wise current
depends on what you have open on the 2nd monitor and going on while you play
storm osprey
i had it in my mind that running pixels anywhere hurt performance, it has to, but i doubt it was much
but i unplugged it anyway
wise current
Also if you have windowed borderless you will sometimes lose frames because then those other things (browser, discord) will run with a higher priority.
storm osprey
nah fullscreen master race
unborn epoch
ya i always run fullscreen
storm osprey
i hate when my friends say they use borderless
like... why?
you want to JUST lose fps?
unborn epoch
i play POE in borderless actually
wise current
I do for some things so I can multi task. And some games I get high enough FPS that it doesn't matter.
unborn epoch
need that quick alt-tab action to look things up on poe.trade
rigid knoll
Can you get borderless + resize the window on BFs?
storm osprey
like just windowed
rigid knoll
Yeah, but without the top bar
unborn epoch
nah dont think so
rigid knoll
Setup can't handle 3440, so I go to 2560 for more fps
wise current
try borderless but set the resolution as less then your monitor.
not sure you can though
strange bough
aaaand I am getting connection timeouts again 😦

the 10fps .1% time adds a super new challenge
even the menus use major GPU like wtf
its not just videos looping, my card is glowing red

When I try to sign into origin it says cannot connect to server. Are servers down?
storm osprey
yes, there was a bombing at dice server hq
500 dollars reported in damages
no one injured
activision has claimed responsibility for the attack
amber roost
k
bleak glen
can anyone else not connect?
amber roost
I cant
red ingot
"bombing at dice server hq"
wat
also how's everyone running the game
just wanna see now that more people have the game (digital deluxe is out) if I'm the only one that feels like my performance got worse since the beta..
pulsar totem
split storm
DX12 makes my game crash 5 mins after the game starts
I'm getting 50fps on medium with my setup @red ingot
on Rotterdam
split storm
RX480 and i7 4770
I've seen people with way worse setups than mine get better frames
Anddd it made my PC bluescreen
vernal spire
My PC bluescreened today 3 times
desert bear
I already bought the B V Deluxe Edition!
split storm
ThEReS NoTHInG WRoNg WiTh BaTTlEfIeLD 5
split storm
Gameplay is amazing, performance is the worst I have ever seen from a computer game
vernal spire
Performance?
vernal spire
Yeah I dont see that to be the problem of the game
If other people run it, you should too
split storm
It's what I was doing when it bluescreened, nothing on the background
vernal spire
It could possibly only be a launch glitch, but I doubt it
split storm
I'm running it pretty poorly rn
red ingot
Or in action
split storm
Yup
split storm
Yeah same, but sometimes when there's alot of people bunched up it still sucks
wise current
rotterdam tanks performance.
wise current
no map is as bad as rotterdam
split storm
Only maps that run fine for me are Fjell and the desert ones
Arras is terrible for me
unborn epoch
grand operations generally do that
except for conquest, the other modes are quite messy
rose eagle
There's no fking skill involved
You can't flank, it's just a cluster fuck of people engaging in a civil war line up
unborn epoch
ya
i think the capture part of the game is pretty nice
the bombing is just ass
you get a thug of war kind of mode
split storm
I've only really played conquest
unborn epoch
in a pretty wide area, also I think there's 32player mode for frontlines which makes it better
split storm
Frontlines was amazing when there was no timer
I still remember a match I had with the lewis on BF1 on Vaux
rose eagle
I actually love the new mode, drawing a blank all a sudden
Breakthrough
It's like rush conquest
I love rush and hate conquest and Frontlines end of round always ends in a massive stand off where defense has a huge upper hand
half comet
Conquest is and always will be a circle jerk. Modes are so much better when there is a shared objective
red ingot
Yeah that's true
I feel like conquest worked better when there weren't any uncappable bases
So if you did full-cap the other team then youd force a win
Now theres not really any strategy to conquest it's just a circle jerk
half comet
I think its always been a circle jerk. Unless you stayed at objective and defend them long after you take them.
I used to play it exclsuively till something broke in my head and I realized I loved working with my buddies towards a tangible goal that had nothing to do with stats/tickets.
But most will always play conquest RunNGun style. Just cap and move on. No thanks.
half comet
Breakthrough/Frontlines/GrandOPs
Where you can actually feel the difference you make
Nothing better than taking an objective. Building it back up, then successfully defending it to make a huge dent in the enemy plans
red ingot
True
Especially with fortifications now
Like frontlines is kinda like rush right?
Where its 2 caps at a time
half comet
Its like Mobas ya know. The goal is usually to destroy the enemies Core. Theres this tangibl goal that you as a single player can feel like you made a difference towards rather than just.....imagine if mobas were "kill enemies till tickets hit 0".
Same concept.
red ingot
And more tickets awarded once u take both and then u move into the next?
Yeah true
That's why I always preferred bf over cod cause cod is just who kills faster
half comet
yea frontlines is 2 objectives. Push and Pull. When you hit the opposite side though, it becomes rush with 3 bomb locations
half comet
Its way more immersive to me. I get so sucked into it.
red ingot
So what's breakthrough again? Sorry just been maining conquest lol
half comet
You're a good man, Yagman. We could use more soldiers like you in the war.
half comet
Uh breakthrough is single map operations basically.
red ingot
Oh okay sounds interesting
Cause yeah conquest is starting to feel like more of a circlejerk lately :(
half comet
Its crazy cuz I played Conquest only from BF2/BC2/BF3/BF4
red ingot
Same
half comet
Sometthing just clicked that was like......"Uh theres very little strategy in this"
And BF1 sucked for me
red ingot
I mean I still feel like there was more when there weren't any main base spawns
half comet
because of spotting and flat map design. Snipers heaven
red ingot
Cause then the enemy couldn't spawn behind your caps
And youd close them in
But yeah these flat maps suck its snipers heaven
And yeah bf1 kinda sucked for me too lol I had premium pass and just stopped caring about the game after DLC 1... havent even played half the maps
half comet
I thought it was way too fast paced. CoD
Spotting shouldve never been in the Bf franchise
red ingot
Yeah
I mean I like what theyve done with it now
Directional spotting and recon scope/suppression only spotting is much better
half comet
^
rose eagle
not sure if dx12 caused it but i have to assume so, DCd from server for first time
analog linden
think I'm finally gonna pull the trigger and upgrade from my intel 2700k
good ryzen build only $425, cheapest I've seen so far. 1700x only $200 and 16GB ram $100
red ingot
Nice
analog linden
current rig is getting so slow. the 8GB of RAM is probably the biggest factor
rose eagle
is 2700k really much worse than 3770k?
the only thing worthwhile to me to upgrade to for gaming is like an 8700k or better
analog linden
3770k is barely any better compared to 2700k
I skipped ivy bridge and the like because the gains were tiny. It finally became worth it with skylake, but I stopped caring then
split storm
So you're running BF5 on a 4770?
prime jasper
yes
split storm
With a 1070?
prime jasper
and 16gb ddr3 ram
split storm
How's your CPU usage?
prime jasper
on win7
split storm
Yeah I have ddr3 too
prime jasper
around 80-90%
split storm
Mine is at 100% even on low
prime jasper
and 125% res scale
my cpu is limiting me
on empty servers i get 90 fps
on full servers 65-70
analog linden
bf is pretty CPU intensive
prime jasper
thats normal
split storm
Yeah but we have the same CPU and he's running the game far better than I am
prime jasper
my gpu usage is 70% in the main menu
analog linden
hm
analog linden
win 10 should actually have better performance, but I doubt that's your issue
split storm
Rx480, It's worse than the 1070 but not by that large of a margin
red ingot
Yeah @oak umbra I agree the performance tradeoff isnt worth it and I dont go on shady af websites anyways
prime jasper
kiinda large
red ingot
Dont have anything sensitive on my pc and worst case I reinstall windows
prime jasper
its older than the 500 series
split storm
It's not that large for low without 60fps to ultra with 125% res scale
split storm
Yeah, but the RX580 ain't that much better from what i've heard
analog linden
the rx 500 series are total garbage
analog linden
could just be amd drivers being shit right now
prime jasper
Dx11 or 12?
prime jasper
whats your cpu usage when idling in windows
split storm
Lemme see
split storm
5-10ish percent
split storm
Gonna be hard to find an empty server but i'll try
prime jasper
5-6 ppl is also fine
just not too many
if your fps are still low with 25% res scalr its 100% your cpu
split storm
How much usage do you get on the menus?
prime jasper
cpu or gpu
prime jasper
50-90%
for me
90% on core 2
the other ones around 50
anyway
just go and try
split storm
Every core is maxed out for me
prime jasper
and tell me how much fps you get
split storm
I will, just forgot to turn off DX12
Wow even launching the game I had all 7 cores maxed on 100%
All 8 cores*
prime jasper
yea make sure you are running dx11
split storm
Are you running on borderless or fullscreen?
split storm
My game crashed lol
prime jasper
lol
analog linden
BOOM! all done. actually bought PC stuff on Amazon this time, even with tax it was few dollars more than Newegg
split storm
Real shame, there was only one guy on the server and he was talking about his performance with an 4790k
High Dynamic range off?
GPU memory restriction off too right?
analog linden
yup
hdr setting doesnt really matter, only turns on if you have an HDR monitor(those exist?)
solemn vector
@split storm 2070 comes on Monday
split storm
Joining the server now
prime jasper
thats what i need to now
half comet
should be insane at 25% lol
prime jasper
yea well we shall see
analog linden
All this performance problems remind me of the weird problems I had in BF3
same issue as you. exact same CPU and GPU, worse performance
tried eveeeerything. drove me insane
prime jasper
so its your gpu
not your cpu
if your cpu was fucked you would be getting low fps even with 25%
split storm
86% usage
split storm
I have
prime jasper
i thought you cant even run the game on low?
solemn vector
I cant
split storm
Well on an empty server
solemn vector
I cant run the game at all
prime jasper
or are you getting framedrops on full servers
prime jasper
that would be your cpu
solemn vector
no thats EAs problem
prime jasper
Maybe unpark your cores and set bf vs priority to very high
split storm
Now there's a guy talking an chechnian guy talking about his life to a another guy on my server
half comet
Gotta agree. Thats the game's problem
solemn vector
yes it is
solemn vector
lol
half comet
I can't see a 4770k having problems a couple months down the road once they push alot of optimizations. Its still a good cpu
split storm
prime jasper
im also using the 4770
half comet
yea you actually dont want it using 8gb
prime jasper
maybe with 4k textures
half comet
That means a leak ha
solemn vector
thats strange
half comet
There are only a handful of games that should hit near 8gb of vram
split storm
3D is at 100%
half comet
haha thats just unoptimized
prime jasper
it literally was 100%, 8132mb
half comet
ooof
prime jasper
succed up every last mb
solemn vector
why cant BF just be normal
half comet
Was prolly using alot of your virtual mem also
prime jasper
and 15.5gb ram usage
half comet
Coutin have you tried borderless yet?
solemn vector
i have 16GB DDR4
split storm
I'm all ears bud
split storm
Oh rip
prime jasper
Lots of people have problems with discord in the background
split storm
See you guys in a bit then
prime jasper
Including me
prime jasper
lol
split storm
80% CPU usage, 60% GPU usage
On high, only had one real frame drop, which it went right back up
scarlet grotto
Don't know if this is the right place but here I go. Whenever I go to origin customer support I click chat with x person. I am in that page and they ask for my name yet I can't reply there is no box. Am I missing something?
prime jasper
yea discord is unoptimized as hell
prime jasper
also put bfvs priority to very high
split storm
Lemme test it again hang on
prime jasper
in the task manager
split storm
It's not letting me for some reason
split storm
There's a thing called Microsoft software protection taking 15% of my CPU
I'm gonna try another thing that other guy told me to do
prime jasper
my cpu is running at 1%
idle
15% lol
wtf
If i ever switch to Win10 it will be a cracked version with all updates blocked
and without all that bloatware
prime jasper
if i were you
split storm
It was on this server
