steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

@red ingot 9700k has stock issues when overpriced

#

Why would it go on sale?

#

@rose eagle Its $375 MRSP for a tray of 1,000

So the retailer would make nothing thonk

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

@storm osprey Jesus lol I read that as moms dead first glance

storm osprey Nov 23, 2018, 2:10 AM

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

@steep gust I took advantage of the 15% eBay coupon through Newegg eBay store ;)

#

So got one for a cool $348

steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

So you used ebay woahthink

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

Newegg through eBay

steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

And still a bad deal

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

Best buy does it also

steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

9900k should be $380

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

Haha ya a bad time in history to upgrade

#

Shit happens ;)

#

I also shouldn't have paid $550 for a cherry picked 2070 but here we are!

steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

I mean you should buy a binned 2070 or a used 1080ti

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

Sorry not talking about the cpu being on sale ofc it wont be - but maybe mobo and ram. Anyways panda can let me know

steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

I paid like $640 for a 1080 in June rip

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

Lol

steep gust Nov 23, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

It also overclocks poorly

#

Cant win every silicon lottery

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

my old gtx 770 could get +150 on the core stable lol

#

I got a RX 580 now and undervolted it without losing any performance

#

happy

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

My 2070 is stock oc plus 125 and 800 on mem

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

Also @storm osprey forgot it was Thanksgiving today in the US lol. Uh my question about the gmmk was whether or not you think I should get the pre-assembled or assemble myself one (is there really a difference) and like whether the switches it comes with are decent or not (so I dont have to worry about the hassle of buying other ones elsewhere I dont mind spending an extra few $$)

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

Corsair 120 3 pack $110 wtf

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

And u didnt get a superclocked one @rose eagle

#

Or u just OC'd even more

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

I got the XC

#

Evga

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

So u just OCd even more

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

And OC it even further 125

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

Nice

#

Wait but like 3 pack of 120mm fan is what u mean?

#

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Yes RGB just insane

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

two 140mm fans > 3 120mm fans

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Ya but I'm looking at 360 rads

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

how about 420mm rads

#

wesmart

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Lol case barely fits a 360

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Rgb is awesome

#

Rgb fan > non rgb fan

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

I wanted to stick with Corsair to keep same software

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Rgb fan set to blue makes your pc run cool

#

And yah makes it easy

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

But Corsair aios are eh

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Plus I've had corsair fans for years and no issues

#

Aio?

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

There's only one aio Corsair and it's freaking non RGB

#

150i

#

The CPU is but not fans

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:26 AM

#

Wait what

#

An rgb cpu

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

The aio block

#

I might get the Corsair 150i rgb pro and get fans for Christmas

drowsy beacon Nov 23, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

I’m really liking NZXT’s aio blocks.

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

Good lord panda

#

"No money for pc I dont need to upgrade"

#

Buys 2070 9700k motherboard ram and now a new aio

#

Now I'm gonna be all alone in my commitment not to spend $$$

9900k simply is useless so big has a limit

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:37 AM

Let me know how the 9700k goes

#

Gimme before and after benchmarks

#

And then maybe I can justify the upgrade to myself

queen field Nov 23, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Hey what about me

#

I got an EVGA 1070 8gb ftw

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

I'm going 3770k to 9700k

queen field Nov 23, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Wait, can u just send me a 9700k + a Z370 board, thanks 💙

atomic atlas Nov 23, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Yeah so should be similar upgrade for me

atomic atlas Nov 23, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

not going to use it but its for a mate of mine

#

but damn

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:39 AM

Nice

atomic atlas Nov 23, 2018, 2:39 AM

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

Nice so yeah I mean if it unlocks my 2070 it would be same for you

#

But it'll be at least a week

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

Yah

#

Dammit

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

It's all shipped ground lol

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:40 AM

#

Anyone got game cpu benchmarks

#

Like same GPU different cpu

queen field Nov 23, 2018, 2:40 AM

#

How much is 260 USD to AUD? I got my zotac 1070 amp core for that amount

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:40 AM

#

My 3770k is 4.3ghz per core OC so the 9700k has work to do

queen field Nov 23, 2018, 2:41 AM

#

Everyone is after RTX

#

Yay for cheap GPU's

#

Coming from an 280x, 1070 is a godsend

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

Yeah I bet

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 2:45 AM

#

I'm going from Ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 7 3700 next year

#

woahthink

#

won't even need a new motherboard

#

noice

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 2:50 AM

#

how much does setting mesh quality from high to ultra affect fps ?

#

because some objects don't show up until i get closer to them on high settings

#

but on ultra they already show up

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

None

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

so setting it to ultra won't affect fps?

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

Very insignificant

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

Idk

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

You got 8gb?

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

When I set my game to ultra my fps drops

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

16

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

But I think it's my CPU

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:54 AM

#

Vram

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:54 AM

#

I have 11gb

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 2:54 AM

#

im only talking bout mesh quality

#

6gb vram

#

isnt mesh quality detail on objects that are far away?

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 2:54 AM

#

I think so

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 2:55 AM

#

yeah

#

some objects don't appear until i get closer to them when its set on high

#

but not for ultra

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 2:58 AM

#

It doesn't affect fps hardly at all but I'm not sure how well 6gb will handle it

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 3:01 AM

#

on what resolution do you play

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

Would here be the place to ask for some tech support regarding BFV on PC? :o

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

yes

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

Alright, well, I got one I've been trying to crack for 4 hours.
Just bought BFV, first one since BC2, since it looked fun. Installed origin, purchased, downloaded, let get through playable, hit play, and...it hung on a black screen before crashing?...
Weird. So, I waited until the download was fully finished, before trying it again...same thing.
So now, I come here, after trying the following: Uninstalling and reinstalling both BFV, and Origin, Manually got rid of 2015 C++ and reinstalled it, Updated graphics drivers to newest, and ran as admin, and with the DPI scaling off. Now I'm at a loss...help! :(

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

damn

#

specs?

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

I've noticed that the game uses only about 3.0mb/s until shooting down to 0 on disk usage, only staying at 50% CPU usage, before crashing.

#

The moment it uses the disk, and it goes above 3.0mb/s, it crashes.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

could be corrupted files when downloading, happens to me sometimes with steam games

#

don't know about origin though

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

I'm just about done with my 3rd redownload of a 45GB game.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

file integrity check

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

Yeah, I'm almost done fresh installing lol.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

oh you redownloaded the whole thing

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

Yes, this is the third time

#

Definition of insanity, and all.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

shouldn't be corrupted files then

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

huh.

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

bfv the only game giving u issues?

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

It's almost like it starts, it's all normal resource values for a game like this, 90% CPU, 60% disk, it flattens out, then it almost looks like it's...being capped by something. It doesn't move an inch from 0% disk and 50% CPU, like at all.

#

And yes, I've played a slew of new games recently (looking for something to dump my time into, hence BFV :P), and this is the only one to give me prolems.

#

Oh, and obviously, I've also restarted my PC, several times. Basically after I change anything.

#

I'm at a loss. :/

#

Double click, opens a black screen in a window that takes up a 1/4th of my screen, not even fullscreen, only to hang and crash, is the problem.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

so the screen turns black and it crashes?

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

The screen is black from boot, I've gotten no images from the game. Only crashes.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

that's weird

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

u tried contacting ea support?

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

probably has nothing to do with your hardware

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:23 AM

#

Hell, it's not even getting far enough to make a settings file, I look in the directory and there's none there.

#

Some fixes were mentioning that the game may be using settings too high for your pc, so I thought that made sense, but low and behold, the game hangs before it can even create those for the initial boot. :/

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:25 AM

#

yeah may have to contact EA support

#

i don't see anyone else with the problem on forums anywhere

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:26 AM

#

Yeah, you can rest assured of that, I spent, as I mentioned, 4 hours today on this, google was my best friend, and I still have nothing.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 3:26 AM

#

good chance that it's a OS problem

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 3:26 AM

#

No one else has had this issue, from what I've seen.

#

Everyone elses is slightly different, as they all at least get into the main menu.

#

Alright, cheers. I'm chatting with some EA peeps, and I'll report back, in case anyone else has this issue. I don't see this rep having much in the way of info for me, probably just a refund, but alas, was a good attempt.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:02 AM

#

@gaunt dragon Let us know. I have some things you can try

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

Please, these reps are pretty unhelpful, I've done a handful of diagnostics, including DXDiag, a sys test and a UTO test, if those are needed as well.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

Alright. So these might be dumb. Lemme know if you've tried em

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

Chances are I have, but I'm willing for anything at this point.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:04 AM

#

Close both origin and the game. Start up origin 'as admininistrator'. Sometimes things go very wrong when permissions arent allowed.

#

Start up the game as admin as well

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:04 AM

#

I have done the game as admin, but not Origin, I'll try it.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:04 AM

#

ok

#

ALso what antivirus are you using

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:05 AM

#

I don't use one, I'm just smart in what I download. :P

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:05 AM

#

Nice

#

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:06 AM

#

Negative on that, ghost rider.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:06 AM

#

Ok. so you said theres no config files you can alter?

#

its not even getting to that point?

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:07 AM

#

Nope.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:09 AM

#

youve used the repair funcition in origin i assume?

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:11 AM

#

Multiple times.

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:11 AM

#

what does your bf5 folder have in it?

#

can you take a screenshot and send to me pm it

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:13 AM

#

Huh.

#

This rep is saying the following: It's not the game, it's not your hardware, you have multiple unknown hosts on your server, and that's causing the game to not function, contact your ISP to have them removed, please.

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:16 AM

#

Would a 1060 6gb, 8gb of RAM and an I5 CPU clocked at 6700k run BF5 at a decent FPS on low/medium?

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:17 AM

#

unknown hosts on your server? the f?

#

@opaque hatch 'Should." but might have troubles. they say 8gb but sometimes its more

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:18 AM

#

Yeah, with a test they had me run, a UTO test, is what it was called.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:18 AM

#

i5 cpu clocked at 6700K?

#

wat

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 4:18 AM

#

A ping to all the EA servers, basically.

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:19 AM

#

the beta ran fine, 60 fps High.

#

then again so did WW2s

#

and BF1s

#

and they ran like garbo on launch.

#

BF1 still sucks.

#

with my rig anyway.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:19 AM

#

gotta ask you, do you have dual channel ram?

half comet Nov 23, 2018, 4:19 AM

#

Yea thats the consensus that some people are now having trouble after having played the beta fine

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:19 AM

#

i mean
prolly.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:20 AM

#

dual channel just means two stick of ram are in your system

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:20 AM

#

yeah

#

2 4gb sticks.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:20 AM

hmm

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:20 AM

need more but whoops im poor

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:20 AM

#

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:21 AM

#

then again Tarkov has Ram Leakage.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:21 AM

my ryzen 5 1600 and RX 580 run tarkov over 60 fps constantly

#

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:21 AM

the ram is the issue with tarkov

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:21 AM

#

i got 16GB

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:21 AM

#

My rig can run it just fine with like, 4gb more ram.

#

i've even tried it, steaing 4 gigs of ram from a friend for a day, tarkov ran like a dream

#

bag to 8, runs like trash.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:25 AM

#

but for some reason, battlefield V stutters for a lot of quad core CPUs

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:25 AM

#

every BF game past hardline stutters like an awkward teenager.

#

some more than others.

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:26 AM

#

Reformat or get drivers to help you read it's format

turbid dove Nov 23, 2018, 4:26 AM

#

Ok. Thanks. I think what went wrong was it was used on a Mac previously and I couldnt get it to format on the Mac so I can use it on pc.

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:26 AM

#

I think every BF game since BF1 recommends more than 8GB ram lol

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:26 AM

#

BF4 was the best performing title

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

wrong

#

bad company 2

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

BF4 was pretty bad for a year

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

once I upgraded to win8, it was amazing

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

uh

#

did you miss there?

#

upgrade and windows 8 in the same sentence?

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

this was years ago

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

ah

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

@turbid dove thought that might be the case, I normally use a piece of software called HFS+ for Windows (by Paragon) but it's paid

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

BF4 had the worst launch in gaming history when it comes to performance and crashes

#

LUL

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

You can get a trial though

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

Bf3 was also pretty trashy, lest we forget,

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

DX11.2 or something netted huge gains

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

the longman

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

for some reason

#

oof BF3

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

we need to start using DX12, but nvidia wants to keep pushing DX11

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

was so bad at launch I gave up and managed to get gamestop to give me a xbox 360 copy instead

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:29 AM

#

i just refunded my copy of BF4 and played CoD for a few years.

#

But off topic

#

How get cheapo ram

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:30 AM

You don't

#

RAM is freaking expensive

turbid dove Nov 23, 2018, 4:30 AM

When I first saw the trailer for bf3 with the tanks rolling across the desert I swear it was real.

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:30 AM

$100 for 16GB DDR4

It's $200 here now

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:31 AM

#

I took a look at SSD prices now, and freaked out

#

when did this happen

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:31 AM

#

85 dollars for two sticks of ram, any idea how much Pizza I can get for that?

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:31 AM

$127 for 1TB samsung evo

Yeah SSDs are dirt cheap now, plus black friday specials

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:33 AM

cheapest I've seen it in awhile

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

They're literally half the price they were 4 months ago here

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

at this rate?
just make your own RAM

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

I just bought a 500GB SSD for the same price last year lul

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

go mine the materials

turbid dove Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

#

Anyone know the difference in performance between the exact same ram and amount of ram, but using dual channel vs single?

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

#

google it

#

idk

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

#

Just get some DDR3 and DDR1 RAM and melt them together

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

#

if you can find used DDR3 ram

#

that isn't server ram

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:34 AM

#

get 2 8gb sticks of ddr2 to get 1 16gb stick of ddr4

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:35 AM

#

because the only used DDR3 ram in the world is server ram

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:35 AM

#

@turbid dove it's normally not much at all but BFV apparently has half the perf for single channel for inexplicable reasons

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:36 AM

#

Battlefield V will be pegged at 100% usage on quad core CPUs lol

#

which means fps dips

#

hyperthreaded quad-cores might be completely safe though

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:37 AM

#

They are

#

My 2700k Handled battlefield no problem

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

so a 6600k will handle it ez pz?

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

not too well

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

It doesn’t have hyperthreading but it should be fine

#

But expect FPS dips

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

4 cores and 4 threads may see some stutter

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

how can I hyperthread to 2 or 1 thread?

#

or is that not a thing

#

me dumb @ cpus

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

Hyperthreading is only available on i7s

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

i7-6700K is 4 cores and 8 threads
i5-6600K is 4 cores and 4 threads

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

Of course latest gen now i7s don't have hyperthreading HaHAA

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

those 4 extra threads go a long way

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

I know right, I’d rather have the extra threads versus Coors

#

Cores

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

Yup

#

The 8700k is a better purchase than the 9700k

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

it is

#

I'm sick of intel anyways, why I went ryzen

opaque hatch Nov 23, 2018, 4:40 AM

i dont even have enough money for a 24 pack of rc cola

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 4:40 AM

my Ryzen 5 1600 was only $140 when I got it and it has 6 cores/12 threads

The 1600/2600 is best price perf

analog linden Nov 23, 2018, 4:41 AM

@red ingot its up to you, everything that comes with the GMMK is good, the caps are double shot shine through, you have good options for switches, you just could probably get better value elsewhere

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 4:49 AM

Okay thx

So like as in the caps are good and the switches are good

turbid dove Nov 23, 2018, 5:00 AM

Ssd is faster

Much faster

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 5:07 AM

#

Yeah, much faster, but I've never really used one.

forest token Nov 23, 2018, 5:07 AM

#

for operating system laoding, loading programs, trasnferrng files and loading in games it is a huge difference

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 5:07 AM

#

Hopefully I'll go from 5 minute loading screens in monster hunter to 30 seconds, that'd be the life.

forest token Nov 23, 2018, 5:08 AM

for example I recently moved my steam install from a nearly full hard drive to a ssd

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 5:08 AM

#

Not having to make a sandwich every time you load something. I'm getting tired of sandwiches.

forest token Nov 23, 2018, 5:08 AM

steam would launch on startup and take over a minute to load, now it is almost instant

couldnt really bring myself to spend $18 less on an 8700k at that point though

So, the new idea, is that a bunch of unknown hosts on my network is causing the game not to launch. EA being EA, that's not quite how that works, so I assume I'm SOL on the black screen on launch issue then?

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 6:21 AM

#

i wonder if making a user.cfg file in your bfv root dir where the exe is with some specific commands in it might help..

#

not seeing any console commands for full screen vs borderless etc or dx12

#

you have a documents\Battlefield V folder?

#

@gaunt dragon

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 6:25 AM

#

I do, but I don't have a user.cfg file, the game crashed before it can get to creating that file.

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 6:25 AM

what about settings folder in there?

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 6:25 AM

#

The only files there are Temp, twinkle and Screenshots.

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 6:25 AM

user.cfg is custom made

#

make a "settings" folder

gaunt dragon Nov 23, 2018, 6:27 AM

#

done.

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 6:27 AM

then right click and create a new file called PROFSAVE_profile and delete .txt if you did a txt file

But my opinion would be bias hahahah

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 7:30 AM

and yeah like i have a corsair rn and it's been solid

#

but idk i think it's kinda cool how I can build my own keyboard

#

im doing the customizable thing

#

plus im pretty sure at the end of the day im gonna be happy with whatever I get I always get scared im not gonna buy the "right" thing lol

#

pay the extra $3.57 and have it come in 3-10 days with tracking or save $3.57 and have it come in 8-20 days no tracking...

atomic atlas Nov 23, 2018, 7:34 AM

#

what exactly is it that catches your attention

#

with the keyboard

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 7:34 AM

#

idk

#

i mean, i like the fact it's customizable - like none of the switches and stuff are soldered on, which means I can always switch them out in the future (which idk if I ever will end up doing)
RGB is always a bonus
other than that idk

#

maybe i'll sleep on it

#

the shipping is also kinda pricey at like ~$30 CAD

atomic atlas Nov 23, 2018, 7:48 AM

#

I mean i like the g910

#

and currently its pretty cheap

#

from Newegg

When did this rgb become a thing? Kb buttons might be the only thing where I understand it. Then again, you don’t evere really need to look at the keys either. PC shouldnt be seen or heard, just used.

atomic atlas Nov 23, 2018, 7:49 AM

#

rgb is just a way to make them charge more money

#

if im being completely honest

#

everything comes with RGB now

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 7:51 AM

#

Yea I’ve seen even case fan with rgb.. But the aesthetics of products which are aimed for gamers tend to look shitty even without rgb

Seems like I'm refunding the game, bummer, I was really looking forward too it, and RIP 10 hours of my time.

#

I honestly enjoy the G810 greatly

#

It's a gaming keyboard but looks decent

#

I usually have my "RGB" just set up to a single color

#

Although BFV does funky things to it, I don't mind when gaming , and honestly find it a bit cool :p

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:23 AM

#

Hey guys. I have a question, i have a 144Hz G-sync monitor but only settings in game are 60Hz or lower when i toggle the different resolutions in BF V. I even tried changing it to 144 in the config file but still says 60Hz in game

#

Is that a bug or how come?

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:26 AM

#

do you have two or more screens?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:27 AM

#

Yes but i only have one on atm cause i thought that was a reason to

#

it also only identify it as a pnp monitor . I have 144Hz set in windows

#

using fullscreen

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:28 AM

#

in the advanced video settings, does it say ''PNP MONITOR 144Hz''

#

something like that?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:28 AM

#

Generaic PnP monitor

#

under that my res and 60Hz

#

can only get lower thern 60 but not higher

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:29 AM

#

can you give me a screenshot?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:29 AM

btw when im gonna get my second monitor i will need you guys to help me set it up with this one

I mean, it is not the biggest problem in the world i just find it wierd that it does not allow me to increase it over 60Hz

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:35 AM

Can you set your refresh rate to 144 in nvidia control panel

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:35 AM

check that one

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:36 AM

That's weird

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:36 AM

#

really is

#

well, thanks for taking your time i understand that it is not easy to answer just wondered if anyone else have heard of had same problem

#

would be worse if it was locked at 30 or something heeh

#

😛

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:37 AM

#

I haven't. At least not when it's working just fine in windows

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:38 AM

#

i wonder how that works with g-sync

#

when i go over 60FPS

#

does it matter?

#

that it is not saying 144Hz there

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:38 AM

#

Where doesit say that

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

No i mean, i'm using g-sync and no v-sync

#

unlocked frames

#

just that it only says 60Hz

#

i wonder if it even matters

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

Yes gsync works all the way up to your max refresh rate

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

can you disable g sync for a moment?

#

just to see something

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

i can try that yes

#

LOL

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

restart your game after that

#

hm?

#

what

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

it worked now even without restarting

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

after you disabled gsync...?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

so it was g-sync that locked it

#

yes

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

OMG

#

IM A GENIUS

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

haha

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:40 AM

I HAVE NO CLUES ABOUT COMPUTERS AND I SOLVED IT LMAO

or just a lucky guess. No but thank you. Would never have guessed that

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:41 AM

lmao no problem

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:41 AM

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:41 AM

i gotta thank YOU, you made me feel good about myself

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:41 AM

#

It shouldn't do that

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:41 AM

#

but now i will get tearing without vsync and vsync has some problems for me so i will stick to having it on

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:41 AM

#

tearing?

#

is tearing even a thing with 144 Hz?

#

dont think so friend

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:42 AM

#

G-sync locks the fps to the Hz

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:42 AM

#

It can get way worse at higher framerates

#

I assume it works fine in other games?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:43 AM

#

but yeah. i will play around with it. I assume it is some kind of bug that i hope they fix

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:43 AM

#

i mean, what are the chances bfv will get more than 144 fps?

#

should be fine

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:43 AM

#

Im running the game at 164 fps

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:44 AM

#

nobody loved you, nick, stay in the corner

#

jk

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:44 AM

#

Tell that to my mom

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:44 AM

#

G-sync helps when frames goes up and down a lot that can cause tearing int the image

#

but it is not every game

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:44 AM

#

yea but screen tearing is not that bad with a 144hz monitor right?

#

right???

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:45 AM

#

It can get worse

#

People saying it's not as bad are blind

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:45 AM

#

THAN A 60HZ MONITOR?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:45 AM

#

Can be worse cause if you enable vsync it will try to sync it to 144Hz

#

and that is not always easy to keep a game at 144PFS

#

g-sync helps with that

#

but now we know what cause it not being able to set it to 144Hz in game so thanks for your help guys

#

take care and have a great weekend

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:46 AM

#

i need answers pls

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:46 AM

#

answer wtih what?

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:47 AM

#

@digital lava can you go to a game that gives you more than 144 hz and tell me if the screen tearing is worse than a 60hz monitor?

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:47 AM

#

If you have a 144Hz monitor without g-sync

#

you can get tearing yes

#

if you disable vsync

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:47 AM

#

but is the tearing worse or ok with a 144hz monitor

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:47 AM

#

and with vsync it will try to keep fps at 144

#

60Hz monitor is easy to lock to

#

144Hz is high

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

because i have a 60hz monitor and tearing is noticable

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

It depends on the engine

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

few games can stay at that FPS

#

so it may flicker more

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

hmm

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

but it depends on the game as nick said

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

well, its not gonna stop me anyways

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

not as much tearing in games these days as it used to be

craggy dagger Nov 23, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

thanks boys

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

If you are used to tearing it won't matter much

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

but that is more or less the point of having g-sync

#

hz and fps is synced

#

removing tearing

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

The moment you experienced gsync or freesync you don't want do go back tbh

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

Nop. It is a really smooth experience

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

Just like going from 60 to 120hz+

digital lava Nov 23, 2018, 9:50 AM

#

But as said. If you don't have g-sync and a high Hz monitor you can experience tearing with vsync off

#

cause it goes up and won a lot

#

and there is were tearing appears

#

*'down

#

but most games these days have less tearing so it is fine

#

for most parts

#

there are software and games that lets you lock FPS to

#

but tearing can happen there to

#

Long story short. g-sync keeps the frame and hz locked togheter and that is what removes the tearing

#

or freesync

#

Have a great daty guyts

#

Hello gods people :)
i need your help on something. what to buy? Asus rog swift PG279Q (IPS) or Asus ROG Swift PG27VQ (TN and curved)

latent light Nov 23, 2018, 10:33 AM

#

IPS

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:35 AM

#

I'd go for IPS as well. I don't get the curving on 27", where as on 34" uwd it's a must.

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

Definitely IPS, your eyes will love you

#

I can never go back now

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

I've been very close to buying the PG279Q myself, but I think I'll stick with the X34 for now

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:44 AM

#

I'm on the X34P and it's beautiful ❤

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:44 AM

#

@lofty light do you run BF on it on full screen?

#

..or did we just talk about this? You had 1080ti?

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:45 AM

#

Na I use borderless tbh. Na I only have a 1080 atm

#

Getting a 2080ti though

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:47 AM

#

I think I'll wait and see how BFV will run @ 3440x1440 on 2080, and 2080ti after some optimization patches. I'm running windowed 2560x1440 currently on 1070

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:47 AM

#

Oof

#

I'm getting 70-85 at 3440x1440 on all low (but with future frame rendering off) with my 1080

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:48 AM

#

I'm trying to stay as close as possible to 100fps

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:48 AM

#

Wanting to get a bump with the card over 120 so I can turn some settings up

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

Why FFR off? The input lag is minimal and you get some 15-20fps more with it

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

I noticed the lag

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

Getting 120fps on 100Hz doesn't make that big difference though

#

It's placebo man 😃 You wouldn't notice it on a "blind test"

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

I've got the X34P so mines the same as yours but with 120Hz ;P

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

Ahh, alright! Makes sense

#

I got the X34A indeed. Normie with 100Hz

lofty light Nov 23, 2018, 10:51 AM

#

Eh, I paid a fair amount more for mine for 20Hz

#

But I got sick of waiting for those 200Hz screens that are eventually gonna be a thing

raw turtle Nov 23, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

I have 60 hz and would rek u in every game

rigid knoll Nov 23, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

Yeah, X34P wasn't out when I got mine. Price is about the same

red cove Nov 23, 2018, 11:35 AM

#

yo i got 144mhz monitor with 1070 gpu what fps should i expect?

#

im getting around 70fps

bleak minnow Nov 23, 2018, 11:35 AM

#

For the one thinking about this, my 1080ti runs 3440x1440 on high/ultra mix about 70-110 fps

#

Mostly around 80-90fps

red cove Nov 23, 2018, 11:36 AM

#

ok good im runnign 1920 x 1080

#

but thats all on low settings

#

and im getting 70ish

bleak minnow Nov 23, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

The thing is, there is not much FPS gain by switching to low as in other games. All on low is surprisingly taxing

red cove Nov 23, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

oh really

#

should i have gpu restriction on or off in game settings?

bleak minnow Nov 23, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

There are some really good video setting guides on YouTube, I think one is pinned somewhere on this channel

#

I recommend trying some of those. Good videos probably pop up right away when you search on YouTube "bfv graphics settings" or something

red cove Nov 23, 2018, 11:41 AM

cheers

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 11:42 AM

the more powerful cpu u got-the better game runs.

#

8-9th generation intels are required. or ryzen. older gens sufffers so often from frame drops and other bullshit. common issue since BF1 after 2018s

bleak minnow Nov 23, 2018, 11:45 AM

#

Yea it's surprisingly CPU heavy. Crazy how it needs really new hardware even compared to other new demanding titles

prime jasper Nov 23, 2018, 11:54 AM

#

the only way to solve low fps problem of older gen intel cpus are server ones the high/top of the line ones as 5960x or x6850 xeons etc.

well I bet parts of bf V code is still dirty hacks to get it working for release, so think there is loads of optimizations still to be done to the game and the hacks to make the engine bend their way

After further lookup i believe BFV servers on PC are provided by i3d.net and they do have servers in Dubai for the MENA region but they are not using them or have traffic issues, i live 70 miles from dubai and my latency ia over 260ms

#

i hate how all my fitness suppliers here dont do any black friday shit

#

: (

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:21 PM

#

its a sign you should stop trying to be fit

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:21 PM

#

NEIN

#

im close to requiring new plates and i want to buy a bunch of grip related things

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:21 PM

#

just like there being no black friday deals on a floe riing 360 means i shouldnt bother..

#

im going to end up reformatting 2x

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

why 2x

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

once when my new shit arrives and then i bet ill want a m.2 drive after it all arrives but have to wait til dec 1 to get my $50 newegg credit

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

o ya'

#

if you get m2 you want to reinstall

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

i mean, thatll be my new OS drive

#

where i do my game dev and IO heavier sht

#

gaming doesnt need a 970

#

i really dont want an ugly ass huge noctua in my new case

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

ugly ass noctua?

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

floe riing 360 seems like the best cooler

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

you want to say that to my face bro

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

takes up 25% of the fkin case and blocks my RGB ram im getting

#

i can see like 10% of my ram sticks

#

with my 212 evo installed

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

what kind of girly ass doesn't like massive heatsinks

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

if you are going to get rgb ram, might as well go liquid cooled

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

i got too much masculine i have to tone it down

#

i upturned the dog cage last night

#

wife got pissed

unborn epoch Nov 23, 2018, 5:25 PM

#

i strangely enough, somehow believe that

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:25 PM

#

the kid kicked the dog off the couch and it started limping so i got pissed at him thinking its leg broke and then it started walking no problem so i got mad at the dog instead

#

somehow the cage ended up upside down, i wasnt even near it, really weird

#

i think we have ghosts

#

yea i should prob be in anger mgmt classes 😄

#

but theres no point im 50% Greek, all my family has rage issues.. it's ancestral DNA you can't stop the war

#

im glad you believe me, it means ive accurately portrayed myself online

#

Corsair Hydro Series H80i V2 gets high reviews but its just a single 120mm rad

#

is thicc

#

so i think the goal is, if you get AIO it damn well better outperform a noctua d15

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

Air cooler is still the way to go, its just annoying to install and not very pretty

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

theres two 360 units that beat the noctua, if $ is no issue

#

and now that i have a see through case with rgb ram and a pretty 2070 all lit up

#

putting another bulky as fk heatsink in there is no bueno

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:38 PM

#

i have my new monitor and now all i want is a new cpu :((

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

cpu is like the hardest thing to upgrade

#

often times you need a new mobo

#

next thing you know you need new rams....

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

i need all 3

#

😦

#

im on a 4770k rn

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

hey 4770k represents

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

im hoping to sell m 3770k, board, ram for like $300

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

me too

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

hm

#

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

idk, still havent seen a reason to upgrade from 4770k

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

#

😄

#

literally no fucking sales rn

#

so mad

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

i mean... theres no good deals

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

if you can even find one rn

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

well i can find one, but zero sales

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

yea so you may as well wait for my results 😉

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

rose eagle Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

Still dont see a reason to upgrade though

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

same :/ although im hating these fps dips

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

OC your 4770k more

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

it wont go past 4.2

#

and be stable

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

until it dies, then you will be forced to get a new one

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

lol

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

Up the voltage

#

who cares, if you want a new cpu anyways

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

🤔

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

just crank it up and maybe you dont even have to buy one

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

well i might get like 5% more performance outta it

#

i doubt ill be able to push past 4.5

#

that's the highest i ever got it

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

i have mine at 4.4

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

200-300MHz more won't gimme a lot of boost

#

i tried it at 3.5 vs 4.2 in bf and not a huge dif

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

you can always look at ryzen

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

true

trim ibex Nov 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

apparenty they pretty good now

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

holy shit

#

50% off

#

Ryzen 7 1700x

#

i actually don't know what the latest one is.. havent followed amd for a while

#

but if the 1700x is any good i might just get that - crazy deal, 48% off

bleak minnow Nov 23, 2018, 5:46 PM

#

Upgraded to ryzen 2600 a month ago and i can completely recommend

red ingot Nov 23, 2018, 5:47 PM

#

#

i honestly have no clue what amd's up to rn
