[unborn epoch]

i cleaned plenty of jacks in my day

[gaunt dragon]

Parts now ordered, SSD will be here by tomorrow.

Pretty good upgrades imho

[unborn epoch]

ya

[gaunt dragon]

This was originally an Insiprion 3847, with this upgrade I can finally stop looking at that manual, as it's no longer the same PC, just the same case lmao.

That'll now be mobo, cpu, ram, GPU and hard drive that have all been upgraded in this

So basically a new PC :L

[unborn epoch]

sweet!

[red ingot]

yeah sorry i got distracted playing with my new toy

but yeah it's so sweet

black friday deal - got the phone for $0 on contract, so an extra $15/month for 2 years

normally $450 for phone and extra $15/month for 2 years

so essentially saved $450

and lol panda literally sounds like everyone else I know with an iphone

[rose eagle]

that they are pieces of shit?

my wife is giving me flack for forcing her to android but idgaf

she can deal

im not paying $200 deductibles for water dmg

she can facebook messenger video chat

fk facetime

[red ingot]

yeah ikr

iphones are overpriced pieces of shit

guy at the store was even like good choice not buying an iphone

[rose eagle]

I got BOGO on our 8+

I'll never buy phones again unless it's BOGO

[unborn epoch]

well

apple is pretty good on privacy

anyone using adobe cc 2019 here?

[mystic drum]

God I'm happy about my PC upgrade

I can now run the game 60 FPS 1440p Ultra and my CPU barely flinches.

This is fucking nice

BATTLEFIELD V and RTX ON... Performance TESTED

[main anchor]

why do so many people have 32GB memory builds

32GB is a little excessive

[green nebula]

Its certainly not needed, but its nice to have

[main anchor]

i'll probably end up getting 32Gb down the road

i just got new cpu/mobo/ram

[half comet]

Catepillar makes th ebest phone i have ever owned

@main anchor Future proofing.

[main anchor]

i5-8600K/asus strix z390-H/Corsair Vengence 16GB 2666 DDR4

[green nebula]

I made myself a $2.6K Ryzen 7 2700x build

[main anchor]

@half comet if i was future proofing i would get a motherboard with socket LGA2066

[green nebula]

I don't even know why

[half comet]

Im going to start saving now and build the best pc possible in like 2020 i think

[main anchor]

maybe DDR5 will be released by then

[half comet]

Easily i would think

Im more hoping dx12 will be more used in games and therefore even better looking

[main anchor]

maybe even dx13

[unborn epoch]

dx12 isn't even finished yet 😄

[latent light]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LQ3fCb

how do you like this mini-ITX build

[main anchor]

yea dx12 is still pretty new

[latent light]

case is only 37cm tall and 35cm long

[unborn epoch]

im bummed out caselabs closed

and blamed trump 😂

@latent light i got that case!

also you can go way smaller

[latent light]

yeah i know lol

[quasi sparrow]

@latent light NZXT ITX is really big for an ITX case

not necessarily good or bad

but it's big for an ITX

[unborn epoch]

ya

but it's hella nice

also you can use full ATX powersupply

[latent light]

it does have full ATX power supply support

[unborn epoch]

which is pretty much a must if you want a silent system

[latent light]

^

ITX PSU are expensive

over $100

[formal ridge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tcwMr6

?

[green nebula]

@formal ridge A build you want to get ?

[formal ridge]

Yes

[green nebula]

Do you really need an i9 9900k ?
Are you just going to do gaming or other stuff like content creation ?

[latent light]

that rtx 2080 Ti is $150 more than it's supposed to be

[green nebula]

Prices are going up apparently

[unborn epoch]

i want a build with a monoblock on motherboard

[latent light]

EK monoblock is $150

[unborn epoch]

ya

[latent light]

about as cheap as they get

[quasi sparrow]

SFX PSUs aren't that bad tbh

[green nebula]

EK is worth it though

[unborn epoch]

i had several SF600s

they were all too loud imo

[quasi sparrow]

good ATX PSUs pretty much cost just as much

[unborn epoch]

wait, i had 2 SF450s and 2 SF600s

[green nebula]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XsQdzY

Plz judge my build, daddy

[quasi sparrow]

I heard newer Silverstone SFX PSUs are good

[latent light]

360mm radiator on a 2700X

wtf

[quasi sparrow]

@green nebula no need for 360mm CLC or sound card

[unborn epoch]

why that soundcard

[quasi sparrow]

onboard sound is good

[green nebula]

I dunno actually on sound card

[quasi sparrow]

if you need better sound, use an external DAC

[green nebula]

but fuck me damnit i want myself a 360mm clc

[quasi sparrow]

but that's if you have like $500+ headphones

[unborn epoch]

oh wait it comes with a control od

[green nebula]

Does ATH M50 X count ?

[unborn epoch]

no, they are very low impedance

easily drivable by your motherboard

[green nebula]

I like them

[unborn epoch]

ya, not saying it's bad

just saying they are easy to power

[green nebula]

[latent light]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nGWRMZ @formal ridge

much better value for the money

[formal ridge]

let me see

[green nebula]

What if he likes the Asus stuff

[formal ridge]

but why not the 9900k?

[green nebula]

Do you really need the 9900k ?

[latent light]

9900K is going to need more than a 240mm radiator lmao

[formal ridge]

i feel like the 9900k will be able to push the potential of the card

[green nebula]

So will a 8700k

[latent light]

it's going to need Antarctica on wheels

[formal ridge]

without an OC?

[unborn epoch]

definitely

[latent light]

8700K will not bottleneck any cards even by 2025 lmao

[green nebula]

Besides, the game doesn't even fully use the RTX Cards

[formal ridge]

I always thought it would

😄

[green nebula]

Its still basically a paperweight when it comes to the Turing stuff

[unborn epoch]

if you going to stream and encode vidya at the same time while gaming

get 9900k

[latent light]

9900K might bottleneck because it will throttle

[formal ridge]

but ew man, the 2080

needs to be a ti imo

for like the 2080s arent worth

[green nebula]

Buy a 1080 ti

[formal ridge]

the prices are crazy now

for a 1080 ti

i can't find the new under 1000K

[green nebula]

They went up again ?

[latent light]

2080 Ti is $500 more than the 2080 yet only 20% more performance

not worth it at all

[mental hatch]

yea they stopped making 1080tis so theyre not gonna be viable to buy new anymore for a decent price

[quasi sparrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C7vwKB @green nebula

2080 Ti still isn't that worth imo

[green nebula]

I know

[latent light]

RTX series was a huge disappointment

[unborn epoch]

2080ti is only worth it if your name is elon musk

[green nebula]

I'm South African, does that count ?

[latent light]

also, get 140mm fans over 120mm fans

quieter and pushes more air

[green nebula]

Nope

[unborn epoch]

well you are halfway there

[quasi sparrow]

RTX series is really good, just not for pushing gaming performance

[green nebula]

Its due to me liking certain things @latent light

My case supports 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm, i would like my clc to fully fit in my case

[quasi sparrow]

being first to market with live raytracing is huge

[unborn epoch]

neil blomkamp and elon musk are pretty cool dudes from souf afrika

are you equally kool?

[latent light]

what's with 9 fans then

[green nebula]

who the fuck is neil blomkamp

[unborn epoch]

bruh

[green nebula]

3 fans on top, 3 front, 1 exhaust and 2 back ups

[latent light]

lol

[unborn epoch]

guy who wrote/directed district 9

[green nebula]

Oh that guy

[quasi sparrow]

don't max out fans

[green nebula]

Yeah still didn't ring a bell but i remember the movie

[unborn epoch]

also elysium/chappie and he's doing new robocop movie

[quasi sparrow]

doesn't help

you want to build a good pressure difference

[green nebula]

yes, i know

[latent light]

best airflow is to have equal amount of exhaust fans as intake fans

cold air will come in as fast as hot air blows out

[quasi sparrow]

not really, you want one more on the one side than the other

let pressure differences increase flow for you

high induction does the job well

[latent light]

6 intake and 1 exhaust is too much lol

[quasi sparrow]

iirc, more exhaust, less intake does the job well

you don't need 7 fans for a mid sized case either

4 is fine

[green nebula]

But i like it so 🤷

[unborn epoch]

i have 7 fans in my h200

[latent light]

plus that's a lot of extra cables

[quasi sparrow]

just extra noise for minimal or nonexistent performance gains

[unborn epoch]

2cpu, 2gpu, 2intake, 1 psu

[green nebula]

in a case with decent cable management things

[quasi sparrow]

oh i was just talking case fans

not including PSU or GPU fans

[unborn epoch]

oh

[green nebula]

I'm really lost now

[unborn epoch]

i only have 2 intakes, no room for outtake

I might have to chance that actually, but that would mean getting rid of my nhd15s

[quasi sparrow]

NH-D15 is woke

Noctua BTFOs everyone

I wish they made video cards

[unborn epoch]

coolers, yes

that would be dope

[quasi sparrow]

their work in fans in crazy

[half comet]

I want one of those desk cases

they look so badass and the air flow looks awesome

[quasi sparrow]

i'd love to see them work with an established video card manufacturer to make a video card cooler

[unborn epoch]

arctic accelero are good aftermarket coolers

plop noctua fans on them and go

[quasi sparrow]

kinda like how Corsair worked with MSI(?) for a CLC cooled card

@unborn epoch that's what I use rn

[unborn epoch]

I would if it would fit in my case but it doesn't

strangely enough it does fit in my ncase m1

[latent light]

copper is to transfer heat from a source, aluminum is to dissipate the heat into air

[quasi sparrow]

I use an NCASE M1 and it's super tiny

so I need max cooling

[unborn epoch]

ha!

me too 😄

ncase m1 is my lanbox

[quasi sparrow]

they fit

arctic acceleros

[unborn epoch]

u helly of my c14?

[quasi sparrow]

I have one too

[unborn epoch]

damn ok

[quasi sparrow]

I'm thinkin of moving my arctic accelero to my RTX 2070

but they don't OC that much anyways so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[unborn epoch]

im not using ncase m1 as my main because the sfx psus are too loud

[quasi sparrow]

and idc that much about noise

it's quiet enough and I wear headphones

even with open backed headphones, several Noctua fans are fine

[unborn epoch]

ya not the SF600

it gets way too loud

c14/accelero is such a perfect fit for the ncase m1, i love that build

[quasi sparrow]

i'd love to build a custom loop

but a lot of money for minimal gains

if any at all

the absolute water cooling meme

[unborn epoch]

hmm, you can put 2x 240mm radiators in there?

or does only 1x240mm fit

[quasi sparrow]

240mm thiccie on the bottom and 92mm in the back

but i've seen 2x 240mm builds

[unborn epoch]

what about the side?

[quasi sparrow]

it's just really hard

[unborn epoch]

ya

there's room for it on the side

[quasi sparrow]

I've seen some people take apart their PSU so that it can just share a 120mm fan with the radiator

[unborn epoch]

we just need intel/amd/nvidia to focus on efficiency and get back to very swag cool chips

[quasi sparrow]

they do

that's pretty much most of the progress over the past several years

[unborn epoch]

they have to push the ti too far to be impressive

[quasi sparrow]

fitting full size 1080s in laptops

[unborn epoch]

that's true

[quasi sparrow]

most of their progress isn't in their halo cards

that's just to show off

most of their work isn't in gaming either

[unborn epoch]

no im aware

[quasi sparrow]

efficiency is their main concern

hence the constant movement towards shrinking dies

tbh, I'd love to see iOS/macOS gaming be the next big thing

Apple chip design is extremely impressive

[unborn epoch]

no thanks

i rather have linux take off and succeed

[quasi sparrow]

especially with Macs likely abandoning Intel in the next few years

I can really see Apple opening up a pretty big performance difference between them and everyone else

they already have in the mobile space

[unborn epoch]

they certainly have the budget for it

[quasi sparrow]

like, the iPad Pro is powerful enough for AAA games

it's on par with the Xbox One graphically

[unborn epoch]

i don't like apple

they are making too much bank

scary amounts of bank

[quasi sparrow]

same with Amazon

I can't knock Apple too hard when they're just dominating the market in hardware design

great software too

[unborn epoch]

ya definitely

[latent light]

Samsung has been outselling Apple in the smartphone market since 2016 lol

[quasi sparrow]

brainlets at Qualcomm and Samsung can't figure out how to compete with Apple A-series SoCs

[unborn epoch]

both companies are very close or already crossed the 1trillion networth

[quasi sparrow]

Samsung isn't outearning 🤷🏼‍♀️

[green nebula]

Because Apple sells more expensive stuff ?

[quasi sparrow]

AAA gaming on iOS is really possible, I just wanna see Apple encourage it

Apple has insane profit margins

[latent light]

It costed Apple $350 to make and retail an iPhone X yet they sold at $1000 lol

[unborn epoch]

they profit a ton on their hardware, take a % of app purchases, have cloud services

[quasi sparrow]

yeah, i kinda regret dropping the dime for a XS, but it was worth

[unborn epoch]

apple is great on security

[latent light]

Samsung still makes iPhone displays

[quasi sparrow]

yeah, Samsung saves the top displays for themselves

well, different arms of Samsung

muh chaebol

they're a great hardware company

[unborn epoch]

i'd rock an iphone if i made a ton more money

[quasi sparrow]

they don't need to specialize and make a phone better than the iPhone

the Galaxy phones do fine as-is

Qualcomm is just slacking

man, Apple 3D Touch tech could really change mice and gaming controllers

[unborn epoch]

what does 3dtoucch do that would improve mouse controls

[quasi sparrow]

variable pressure clicks and variable tactile feedback

and multi dimensional scrolling that just comes with a trackpad

all without actual moving buttons

[unborn epoch]

hmm

not sure if I want any of that on my mouse

it sure could serve in games

[quasi sparrow]

like imagine hold RMB to ADS, hold RMB with more pressure to ADS and hold breath

light press LMB to semi, hard hold to auto

and you get appropriate tactile feedback

[tame path]

until it breaks and never works properly because reasons

[main anchor]

iphone xs has a 7nm chip tho

[unborn epoch]

i want only 1 type of click per finger

more clicks=loss of accuracy

[quasi sparrow]

1 type of click per pressure

i'd like the option to do more with each button

just reduce unnecessary complexity with having tons of keybinds

plus, less moving parts is neat

[unborn epoch]

maybe

[quasi sparrow]

when will everyone else figure out 7nm chips too 😩

[unborn epoch]

7nm is fun and all

but architecture is equally important

[latent light]

i wonder if Intel will push towards 10nm more whenever Ryzen 7nm CPUs come out in April 2019

[mental hatch]

considering they cant even make chips fast enough now they prob wont even come out till q3 19

[latent light]

they already have an 8 core 7nm sample running at 4 GHz base clock and 4.5 GHz boost lol

[mental hatch]

sure but theyre not gonna be pumping those things out like the 8700k 2 months ago

[latent light]

next year is the turning point

[analog linden]

sheesh all the mid range intel z370/390 mobos look like crap

the asrock xtreme4 is the only one that looks good, oh but apparently the vrms suck or something

[unborn epoch]

[mental hatch]

i think the ultra gaming from gigabyte looks pretty nice

[green nebula]

ASUS FTW

[latent light]

lol I got a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming-3 motherboard 4+3 power phase

only paid $80 for it though

[mental hatch]

the black/ red one?

[latent light]

yes

has RGB on it

only thing I don't like is that I can't change my CPU or SOC voltage manually, I have to set a dynamic voltage instead

[mental hatch]

i like my pc mate 😃

left side has a white led strip thing and is like made for evga cards

[atomic atlas]

@green nebula asus is good

rog is better

[green nebula]

I prefer STRIX

[rose eagle]

ASRock Taichi z390

$180 winner winner chicken dinner

[atomic atlas]

STRIX is so over priced here

[rose eagle]

All Asus shit is overpriced everywhere

[green nebula]

Same tbh.
I just like the style

[mental hatch]

true

[rose eagle]

The only thing I love from them is their laptops

[mental hatch]

i only get msi laptops

because theyre made for GAMERSSSSS

[unborn epoch]

Asus boards are pretty good

[storm osprey]

@red ingot massdrop Ctrl is back

[analog linden]

Turning off DX12, again, It's most likely the cause of BFV randomly running slow as hell

it just does not work well with my gtx 1060, on any game with DX12

[rose eagle]

Yeah it doesn't even give me fps increase so pointless

Especially with my 9700k coming I don't need any CPU help

[analog linden]

dx12 is a pointless worthless setting, for my setup

just causes more problems

[rose eagle]

For any setup

It takes to much to implement honestly for any devs

[analog linden]

that alone kills it, devs sure as hell not going to care

[rose eagle]

Low level shit for like 10% gain hell no

Useless

[analog linden]

and the amount of people who swear DX12 makes games look better makes me

[atomic atlas]

[verbal notch]

why am i only getting like 20-30 gpu usage?

1080ti and 2700x

future frame crap is on and all setting are low

no matter what settings i put it at it wont go over 30%

[lofty light]

What's your CPU usage?

[latent light]

what games does that problem occur on?

@verbal notch also, if you're using Ryzen Matser software, make sure "Gaming Mode" is turned off because that's a feature that only Threadripper takes advantage of since it's used to disable half the cores

[verbal notch]

@lofty light at like 44%

@latent light on bfv but not on any other game and i have it off

[latent light]

your gpu usage is good on other games?

if so, then it's a problem with battlefield

[verbal notch]

@latent light yea its like 98-99 always on other games

I did the repair thing through origin

[red ingot]

@storm osprey yeah I saw but it's expensive af (like $250 CAD + shipping)

[verbal notch]

And i really dont want to have to redownload it

[latent light]

Play in DX12 with future frame rendering off for best experience. Otherwise, make sure to turn on FFR to maximize GPU usage in DX11. The game is optimized poorly when pre-rendered frames are at 1 in DX11.

may have to wait for Nvidia patches

or maybe the large update coming to BFV on December 4th will fix a lot of optimization issues

[red ingot]

Yeah I'm hoping so

I think it will though cause lots of people are upset about the state of optimization in the game rn

[latent light]

seems like Nvidia cards are having more problems than AMD cards

in BFV at least

[rose eagle]

if they fix dx12 they better make something work with it that helps sharpen the image

ill avoid dx12 if we cant use sharpening to get rid of that god awful TAA

my eyes bleed if i try to go back to normal TAA implementation on 1440p

[verbal notch]

So whats the best stuff i could have

And i wanna keep all settings on low

[latent light]

1080 Ti should see around 100 fps at ultra at least lol

my RX 580 sits around 70-75 fps on 1080p ultra

[verbal notch]

I have two 1080ti’s this game fucking sucks ass with sli

[latent light]

SLI is becoming more and more redundant

I expect SLI to only exist for workstation cards in a few years

[verbal notch]

This game just runs so poorly

And i do a lot of photoshop and illustrator

[rose eagle]

i get 100+ fps 1440p on a 2070, a 1080ti should see quite a bit more

assuming you have minimum 4c8t cpu

[half comet]

sli does much btter on higher resolutions vs smaller ones

[rose eagle]

its just one of those things that's usually better to avoid unless you're ungodly loaded and instead go with the newer tech

[queen field]

eh guys the hell is this

https://imgur.com/a/EdLVnYB

Maximum pre rendered frames & Virtual reality pre rendered frames

are they the same

[half comet]

no

VR is for VR applications only

Maximum pre rendered frames is for any NON VR

@rose eagle I agree most of the time.

[small fractal]

i run around 120-130fps solid with a 1080 and 9700k

all settings low except mesh and texture on ultra

[wispy wing]

single or dual channel ram ?

because i run around 130fps on 8400 and 1070 with that setting. you should run around 150

@small fractal

[cobalt quarry]

Hey gents, anyone with a i5 3570k with a 970 gtx strix playing BF V ? I would like to know how many frames you guys have with this setup, ive been thinking of getting the game, but im afraid the game would stutter since the cpu is lower than the recommended.

[unborn epoch]

look around in #general for a 10hr trial invite

[fossil dune]

@cobalt quarry should atleast get 60fps min at 1080p on medium

[cobalt quarry]

Cheers for the feedback my dudes, i activated the free trial thing a few minutes ago, once its installed i'll type my experience

thanks everyone

[unborn epoch]

👌

[sage cedar]

Any word on when the companion app will include BFV???

[white reef]

Guys, i have 16 gb of DDR4 now

the game still work like shit

rx 580 8 GB VRAM, i5-7500, 16 gb DDR4 RAM

[tepid river]

Yo guys quick question

To get a xfx rx 590 fatboy

?

[queen field]

get a 1080ti big boy @tepid river

but whats ur budget

and do u currently own a freesync monitor?

[tepid river]

Yea i have a freesync monitor

144hz

I want a 1080ti

But cant find it

And my budget is poor

@queen field

[rigid knoll]

2080 is about the same price around here

[tepid river]

around 300 euros

[rigid knoll]

Used 1080ti?

[molten coral]

used 1080 ti still goes for around 700/750 here in the Netherlands

[dreamy tinsel]

wuuut

[red ingot]

Go to sleep

[limpid glade]

Seeing all your fps's and I only get 60 fps with my 1080 Ti...

😐

[red ingot]

What's your CPU?

[dreamy tinsel]

What 🤣

[red ingot]

60fps on 1080ti doesn't sound right

[limpid glade]

I7 6800K @4.2Ghz

[red ingot]

Okay something's definitely wrong

[limpid glade]

You're right, Yagman lol

[red ingot]

Um

[limpid glade]

I have tried everything

[red ingot]

U have future frame rendering on?

Directx 12 off?

[limpid glade]

Yeah

[dreamy tinsel]

What other programs are running while you play?

[limpid glade]

I need help. lol

No other programmes

[dreamy tinsel]

browser?

[limpid glade]

Updated drivers

[red ingot]

Tried repair install for game

[limpid glade]

I use Edge

I repaired the game

[red ingot]

🤔

[dreamy tinsel]

Do you have Netflix open? 😂

[limpid glade]

I only run on 2560x1080p as well... 😐

[red ingot]

Issues on any other games or just NFC?

Bfv **

[limpid glade]

I don't have Netflix. lol

[dreamy tinsel]

okay

[limpid glade]

Um

[dreamy tinsel]

lol

[limpid glade]

Just BFV

[red ingot]

Ram? 16gb?

[limpid glade]

On BF1 I get around 90 fps

16Gb RAM

[red ingot]

Wtfff

[limpid glade]

I need your help so bad haha

[red ingot]

Literally

You don't have your fps in game capped to 60 do u?

[limpid glade]

I sometimes get 45 fps on Devastation and Twisted Steel

No

[red ingot]

Assuming you have lime a 144hz monitor

[limpid glade]

I have a 160Hz monitor and G-sync is on, not V-sync

[unborn epoch]

do you have resolution scaling to 200% or something

[limpid glade]

Nope

100%

[unborn epoch]

format

[red ingot]

So: future frame rendering ON, Directx 12 off

[unborn epoch]

😄

[limpid glade]

CPU and GPU Utilisations run at around 60%

60 degrees Celsius

Yes, Yagman

[red ingot]

You've done your homework

Fuck

[limpid glade]

lol

[red ingot]

Have u tried a clean install of drivers using DDU?

[limpid glade]

I'm contemplating reinstalling Windows but I have no idea if that will just waste my time

No

[red ingot]

Might be worth it as a last resort

Okay try doing that first

To see if it works

[limpid glade]

Okay, how do I do that?

[red ingot]

Download and Install DDU, there's instructions on the app/dl page

[limpid glade]

Alright.

Web link?

[red ingot]

Pretty much you just boot into safe mode and click the "wipe drivers" button and then reinstall your drivers manually after

Yah lemme see if I can find it one sec

[limpid glade]

Alright. I'll give that a go. Thanks

So I don't need to download any programme or something?

[red ingot]

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

It is a program

[limpid glade]

Ok

[red ingot]

U download it and run it and then it'll do a clean wipe of your GPU drivers

Read the instructions on the webpage tho

I gave u like the basic rundown but I'd read through first

And I honestly dunno whether this will fix it or not but imo it's worth a shot idk what else to recommend

[limpid glade]

Yeah

Thanks

[red ingot]

Np

[limpid glade]

If that doesn't fix it, what do you think it may be?

[red ingot]

Let us know how it goes

Not sure tbh

[limpid glade]

I will, thanks

[red ingot]

Especially if the issue is isolated to bfv

[limpid glade]

yeah

[red ingot]

And your temps are fine

You have issues running game on low and on ultra?

Fps wise

[limpid glade]

Both low and ultra

Similar fps

[red ingot]

Odd

Yeah try DDU

And report back

[unborn epoch]

wieners

[red ingot]

Yes nick

[unborn epoch]

hows the monidor yagmang

[red ingot]

It's so nice

It's like I'm in heaven

Its soooooo clear

And pretty

And g sync is awesome

Smooth as butter

[quartz whale]

yeah i just got g sync recently and its amazing

[red ingot]

Yeah it's like day and night

Plus I got a new phone too - Samsung s9

Upgraded from s7 edge

It's so smooth too

Day and night

[quartz whale]

nicee

[red ingot]

yeah

[quartz whale]

im thinking whether to get this game yet

[red ingot]

dude

get it

lol

it's so much fun!

i have like 80h...

84* - just checked

[limpid glade]

Just installing the drivers now.

I'll let you know how the game runs.

[red ingot]

ok

[quartz whale]

will it run good on 980TI?

[red ingot]

yeah it should

cpu? ram?

[limpid glade]

umm

[quartz whale]

2600K 4.7 16GB 1866

[red ingot]

yeah you should be alright

I mean, i'd say you can get a solid 60fps

otherwise u might need a CPU upgrade - your CPU is pretty much just enough to run it

i mean origin afaik has a return policy as well so if it doesnt work u can prolly return it

[quartz whale]

whats the difference between deluxe and reg?

[rose eagle]

MasterLiquid ML360R, Floe Riing 360, or Noctua DH15

[red ingot]

deluxe gives u cosmetics

that's the only dif

so if u dont care about cosmetics just get reg

and no clue @rose eagle

dunno any of those off the top of my head

[unborn epoch]

thermaltake has shit representation here

i'd go for either coolermaster or noctua

[quartz whale]

thermaltake is bad

get a D15

what cpu are you trying to cool?

[rose eagle]

9700k

[red ingot]

just get corsair

😄

[rose eagle]

Corsair doesnt have a RGB 360 x_x

[drowsy beacon]

Le grand macho rt

[red ingot]

D:

corsair is like king of rgb

wtf corsair

im filing a complaint

[rose eagle]

i have RGB ram coming, i dont want a damn d15 clogging up my case

[unborn epoch]

i'll clog up your case

DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT NOCTUA

[mental hatch]

then whyd you put it as one of your options?

[red ingot]

lol

@mental hatch makes a good point

[unborn epoch]

screw your logic

[quartz whale]

BFV well optimized?

[rose eagle]

i wanted opinions 😉

[unborn epoch]

we're talking about majic here

[rose eagle]

im not entirely surprised people are saying d15, its one of the best coolers esp for price, just not aesthetically pleasing

but yea Corsair is my first choice since i already have Corsair rgb ram + k70 lux

[red ingot]

bfv has mediocre optimization

[mental hatch]

well for the price is debateable but even then you could spend the extra on chromax

[quartz whale]

rly

[red ingot]

yeah @quartz whale

not gonna lie to u bout that

[rose eagle]

i dont think the 150i pro is even rated that great

[red ingot]

but the gameplay is awesome

[quartz whale]

kk

[red ingot]

so still worth it imo

[rose eagle]

people dont know much about AIOs

online reviews are kinda shit

[red ingot]

plus they'll likely optimize it more in future patches

[mental hatch]

i love people saying performance dropped since open beta but i went from 1050ti to 1070 so for me it only got better lul

[red ingot]

u also upgraded

🤔

[mental hatch]

i know thats the point

[red ingot]

not an apples to apples comparison

[quartz whale]

yeah my next paycheck im upgrading my system

[red ingot]

nice

panda's getting a 9700k and gonna benchmark bfv for us

[rose eagle]

my board is delayed.. cpu and ram arrive like monday x_x

[red ingot]

god dammit

why u do dis

when is ur board coming

cyber monday deals

[quartz whale]

smooth as butter on gsync? @red ingot

[rose eagle]

febtober 34th

[red ingot]

yes it is @crimson halo

[rose eagle]

nah way the fk after monday, more like Dec 1

[red ingot]

what

WHAT

fuck that return it and buy elsewhere

go to your local computer store

i can't wait that long for benchmarks

[mental hatch]

hope it does get more optimized tho 1070 is only averaging 100fps on 1080p ultra according to hardware unboxed and my 144hz monitor is coming in a few days

[red ingot]

yay

once u go 144hz there aint no going back

welcome to the club

[mental hatch]

ye

nice too because current monitor is 60hz ips so ill always have nice colors and good response time

[red ingot]

i got the best of both worlds

i got a 144hz ips

so good color + refresh rate

😄

[mental hatch]

absolutely delicious

[rose eagle]

i can put a 280mm rad up top and dont care if its RGB i guess

wont fit a 360

[mental hatch]

im mad i was broke when on newegg for 2 days there was a 144hz ips 1440p monitor for 220 refurb so i couldnt pick it up

[red ingot]

scuse me

don't care if it's RGB

u heathen

[quartz whale]

g sync and 144 i aint never going back to 60hz

[red ingot]

and yeah same

[unborn epoch]

hopefully this monitor lasts me until 4k 240+hz microled

[red ingot]

lel

[unborn epoch]

[red ingot]

what do u have nick

[unborn epoch]

asus pg279q

[red ingot]

i aint upgrading till 4k 144hz steady is feasible

[mental hatch]

damn theyll have to bring back quad sli for that

[red ingot]

ohhh so mine but the tn version

nice

and naw

just wait like 10 years

[mental hatch]

true

[unborn epoch]

ya

[red ingot]

gotta make this large purchase worth it to myself too lol

trust me i wouldnt have dropped this much on a monitor if i knew 4k 144hz was feasible in 2 years

cause it's not

plus guy at the store was all like "enjoy it man I have the exact same one at home and it's amazing"

and I was like 😄

and ppl in line waiting to get in the store were like "omg big dick over here"

[unborn epoch]

fucc, i bought shoes, used the foot template calculated my size according to chart, ordered a size bigger

still dont fit

[red ingot]

-.-

dammit nick

and so you bought 2 pairs that don't fit?

[unborn epoch]

i didn't even pay for them yet

returning them monday, already ordered bigger size

[red ingot]

wait waht

so u can buy them and have them delivered

without paying?

thats cool

[mental hatch]

wearing shoes or clothes

[red ingot]

are u buying 2 pairs again?

[unborn epoch]

some large warehouses have a service where you order stuff and pay after

[red ingot]

that's cool

[unborn epoch]

ya im getting 2 pairs again

[red ingot]

yay

[unborn epoch]

the thing is, i never owned this brand so its kind of guessing what size in eed

[red ingot]

i support your decision to buy both pairs

xD

[unborn epoch]

hehe

now i have to get flannel shirt with black/red pattern

[red ingot]

nice

i should probably go buy new like fancy clothes

for my new job in January

but I hate clothes shopping

maybe I can buy online...

[unborn epoch]

i hate it too man

[red ingot]

my dad's like: durr good sales rn go buy

[unborn epoch]

sizes are just an issue when buying from different brands

[red ingot]

and im like: fuck that I don't wanna get outta the house and go on the BUSIEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR to buy clothes

[rose eagle]

uhh yea... @red ingot the board i got was $200 + $20 MIR and is now a flat $280 no MIR so that aint happenin 😛

[quartz whale]

1TB SSD should be fast as hell

[red ingot]

u get an m.2?

[quartz whale]

Na

[red ingot]

only way i got outta the house was to buy electronics 😄

ill wait in line for that shit not clothes

and damn 😦

m.2 fast af

they're like 40% off

[unborn epoch]

i never buy electronics in a store

always online

[quartz whale]

^

[drowsy beacon]

Depends on if the m.2 is SATA or nvme

[unborn epoch]

when im looking for a new phone and i'm near a store i'll get a feel of them, then just buy online

[drowsy beacon]

But honestly the difference is negligible

[rose eagle]

i may as well order an m.2 while im waiting

[unborn epoch]

usually i'd do the same for shoes but it's cold out

[rose eagle]

so i can reformat on it when i get everything

[unborn epoch]

order me pizza im hungry

[quartz whale]

i ordered dominos last night

[rose eagle]

not sure i can justify $78 for a 250 m.2 to toss my OS on

[quartz whale]

does anyone else think Fallout 76 is a mess?

[unborn epoch]

ya

i think the entire world thinks that

[quartz whale]

how are the guns and stuff in BFV?

[unborn epoch]

good but need some balancing

i mean it feels right to play with them

[quartz whale]

most OP gun right now?

[unborn epoch]

hmm

KE7 seems broken/op atm

[red ingot]

why always online @unborn epoch ?

i get a feel for it in store, but always buy where there's a better deal

for my monitor, the store actually had a better deal than everywhere i checked online

so i got it at the store

[unborn epoch]

pricing of every store, every deal here is indexed online

impossible to find better deals at stores

[red ingot]

hm

[unborn epoch]

also retail stores are 99% of the time more expensive, webshops have lower costs to keep running

[red ingot]

yeah i mean 9/10 times better deal online

[unborn epoch]

even days like blackfriday here aren't as extreme as in the us

[red ingot]

but sometimes store has better deal or same deal (ill buy in store if same deal cause then i get it right away)

yeah true you're in EU

Canada is extreme now cause Canadian retailers got pissed

cause we'd all just run to the US

and they wouldn't be competitive

[unborn epoch]

except for sundays, orders are next day deliveries 😄

[red ingot]

so now they're forced to give us good deals

[quartz whale]

@red ingot what monitor do you have

[unborn epoch]

no matter what you buy, computer parts, clothes, dildos, random gifts

i don't know about the dildos actually

[red ingot]

PG2789Q

i think is the model

[quartz whale]

yeah i think mine is a acer predator

[unborn epoch]

that doesn't exist

[red ingot]

PG279Q *

[unborn epoch]

you got the same JUAN as meeee

[red ingot]

i stuck an extra 8 in there

wait do u

[unborn epoch]

ya i got asus pg279q

[red ingot]

O.o

we bros now

how u like yours

[unborn epoch]

great, i got mine very early during release so had to swap it a couple of times to get one that doesn't have bad blb

this one only has a small spot on the topright

[quartz whale]

overdrive gets rid of ghosting

[unborn epoch]

makes it worse if you put it on extreme

[quartz whale]

rly?

[unborn epoch]

you get these ugly edges around high contrast areas

ya

[quartz whale]

should i leave it on normal?

[unborn epoch]

do you have the pg279q as well?

in that case defiitely

[quartz whale]

no i dont

Acer predator

[red ingot]

yeah i got mine late

so they fixed all the bugs with the early models

😄

[unborn epoch]

acer predator uses the same panel

im pretty sure you have the same effect putting overdrive to max

so keep it on normal

[quartz whale]

kk changed it to normal

[unborn epoch]

https://www.blurbusters.com/faq/lcd-overdrive-artifacts/

it improves ghosting slightly but adds artifacts, hardly an improvement

[red ingot]

what mode do u use it on

do u put it on fps mode

[unborn epoch]

sRGB

I don't need high brightness for everything, i'll use nvidia control panel if a game needs specific settings

[red ingot]

so dark

:/

[unborn epoch]

you'll get used to it

this is the most neutral setting, so colors are most true

[red ingot]

hm

what does fps mode do tho

im trying that rn

and what does color temp do

[unborn epoch]

not entirely sure, i haven't touched it in a long time

color temp is color temp the lower you go the more warm it looks

[red ingot]

hm

ill try srgb

[unborn epoch]

srgb is precalibrated

you could buy a spider or w/e and redo it, but it looked pretty damn close on mine

[red ingot]

can u turn up the brightness

in srgb mode

[unborn epoch]

no

[red ingot]

or do i just gotta get used to it

okay

ill try and get used to it

i think it's actually easier on my eyes...

less bright

lol

i had it on default before

[unborn epoch]

all the lights in my room are dimmable

[red ingot]

i guess i can still turn up the brightness in game

if need be

[unborn epoch]

ya definitely

[rose eagle]

a 60hz monitor shouldnt lock fps to 60 should it?

[unborn epoch]

if you disable vsync it shouldn't

[quartz whale]

^

[rose eagle]

buddy is waiting on his 1440p and saying its 60 constant, yea no idea whats going on

[red ingot]

thats weird

[unborn epoch]

for whatever weird reason it might take windows refreshrate as mas fps

max*

[red ingot]

pls tell me he changed it to 144hz

in windows

ive seen that mistake b4

[rose eagle]

he doesnt have new monitor yet

[unborn epoch]

that's impossible without 144hz monitor

[red ingot]

oh

[unborn epoch]

so just let him get new monito

and format

[red ingot]

i missed some context

[unborn epoch]

also i use custom vibrance settings for pretty much each game

there's a nifty little program that changes this for you on the go depending on what app you have running

strangely this isn't an option in nvidia control panel

[red ingot]

interesting

what is this nifty program

[unborn epoch]

vibrancegui.com

i've been using this shit for 6 years or something

[dreamy tinsel]

Vibrance is pretty much a must if you play csgo

lol

[unborn epoch]

yeah

that's the reason i started using it

[red ingot]

huh

[unborn epoch]

fucken game looks bland as hell

[red ingot]

so it'll automatically like

correct the colors

for whatever game

[dreamy tinsel]

It makes the colors be more alive

[unborn epoch]

you set digital vibrance value to whatever you want for each active .exe window

[dreamy tinsel]

CSGO is really bland without it at times

[unborn epoch]

ye

so when you switch to csgo for example, it puts virbrance to 80% for me

[red ingot]

but how do i know what i want

[unborn epoch]

when i tab out to windows, it sets it back to 50%

[red ingot]

or does it have default

[unborn epoch]

it's preference

default is 50%

[red ingot]

ugh

idk what i want

i want it to tell me what to want

Dx

[unborn epoch]

haha yeah no

i mean, if you want it like the artist intended it to be, 50%

[red ingot]

:/

[unborn epoch]

if you want to get instantly depressed playing CSGO, also keep it at 50%

[red ingot]

so essentially

i have to decide

[unborn epoch]

otherwise up that number

yes, i know this is difficult

[red ingot]

it is nick

it is

[quartz whale]

so keep it at 50% for most cases?

[red ingot]

But isn't that what it is already

Without using the program

Idk maybe I'm confused

[quartz whale]

Same

[red ingot]

[rose eagle]

970 Evo really arent on huge sale

they've just naturally been coming down a ton..

[rose eagle]

ok disk isnt even used like at all during game so kinda pointless i guess

the entire game fit inside 8gb of textures on vram?

that would make sense, a tank is prob only like 32mb?

not sure what res they use or if more based on your chosen res etc

[frigid jolt]

i have a gtx 970 and an intel i5 4460 but im getting like 30 fps on conquest

[red ingot]

Idk they're like 33% off in Canada

The 970 evos

[frigid jolt]

dx 12 and future frameoff

[grave cobalt]

hello guys!!plz help me i cant play cuz when the round end its stuck on the loading screen 💩

[strong breach]

hey @grave cobalt if you're loading to the same map that finished only workaround is to reboot

[prime jasper]

Lol ..

[pastel lily]

ive also posted couple of fixes

[grave cobalt]

yes same map

and its showing two loading icons

[strong breach]

you'll have to reboot the game

!knownissues the issue is known as far as I know and there should be a fix for it coming

[red ingot]

Reinstall drivers with DDU

[grave cobalt]

how can i do the reboot

[strong breach]

are you on console or PC

[red ingot]

Press power button

Hard reset

Hold down 5secs

[grave cobalt]

pc

[strong breach]

just click the game active

and press alt+F4

should end the task

Alt F4 closes whatever window or application you currently have selected

[grave cobalt]

hmmmm

[frigid jolt]

@plain vessel i still got around 30 fps when i got into the action

i get 60 in calm areas but when there are explsions and stuff it drops

i tryd the new settings and its only smooth in calm areas

i had vsyn on tho

[grave cobalt]

Stuck in loading screen after EOR

Sometimes user can get stuck in endless loading screen after EOR.

Status: Currently investigating.🙄 🙄

[next light]

any folks here running a threadripper with BFV and having some stability issues time to time?

[unborn epoch]

that's a good meme

[frigid jolt]

@plain vessel thanks for the help even tho it didnt work

[green nebula]

But why would you ever buy a 9900k ?

The Ryzen 7 2700 x is pretty much the same and cheaper

[red ingot]

If u have tons of $$

[green nebula]

Even if i had the money to buy myself a $100K PC
I would never buy a i9 9900k

And the Ryzen 7 2700x is slightly on par for cheaper ?

Apparently

if i can find the actual proof

[unborn epoch]

I haven't seen any benchmarks

[acoustic trout]

someone know how to fix the loading screen glitch after the match finish?

[unborn epoch]

Im salty as hell they finally start releasing 4+core the generation after I buy a chip

[acoustic trout]

@plain vessel its happen to u to?

ok thanx mate

[chrome jewel]

Yeah I have the loading screen issue, as well as a friend of mine

Also I'm not being given my next mastery assignment for a weapon

Any suggestions?

Just wait for them to fix the issue xD?

[acoustic trout]

i think dice going to relase a patch and the going to fix it(:

[tawdry hare]

guys my gpu usage is stuck at 50-60%

how to fix it ?

i have gtx 1070

[chrome jewel]

Vsync or future frame rendering maybe?

[prime jasper]

Any word on reimbursement for after level 50 for company coins not showing up, missing 40k+ now.

Didn’t want to drop this in tech but the main bf channel is overrun with hitler vs Stalin spam atm.

[green nebula]

Oh boy

[prime jasper]

Sure

[tawdry hare]

@chrome jewel my v-sync is off and ffr is on

[green nebula]

[tacit ridge]

Hey guys so I have a Core i7-7700HQ a gtx 1050 ti, everything on low graphics and I can't play conquest at all but domination modes like that my fps fluctuate from 30-60

[prime jasper]

Once you’re level 50 you get every couple of battle a 1000-2000 CC reward, it never shows up in your balance. Only dailies and weapon/missions count.

[green nebula]

[prime jasper]

Yeah it’s happening to most 50’s according to reddit.

[tawdry hare]

guys i am getting 50-60 fps on my gtx 1070 16gb ram (single stick) ryzen 5 1600 how to fix it?

[red ingot]

No

Get dual channel

[tacit ridge]

dx12 off FF on?

[tawdry hare]

i am on dx11

my gpu usage is stuck at 50-60%

[tacit ridge]

tried dx12 even worse

also 8gb ram

[tawdry hare]

what is ff?

[storm kraken]

hq processors are for laptops

[tawdry hare]

i am playing on low settings then also

50-60 fps

[drowsy beacon]

drivers up to date as well?

[tacit ridge]

I went to Can I Run it and it says I have the minimum requirement to play it

[tawdry hare]

yes

[clear widget]

anyone having issues with GPU usage around 50-80% or spiking causing lower fps is there a solution to this like a console command

[tacit ridge]

I could play conquest on beta fine tho idk what they did that made it unplayable

[tawdry hare]

@clear widget same my gpu usage is stuck at 50-60%

[clear widget]

whats your cpu and gpu

[tawdry hare]

gtx 1070 and ryzen 5 1600

[clear widget]

ya see your cpu shouldnt be bottlenecking neither is mine

bottlenecking has been the response but i have a fken 1080ti and 8700k still issues

[tawdry hare]

but other games works fine for me

like pubg and r6

[clear widget]

same i play forza horizon 4 a cpu graphic and ram intensive game and no issues

[tacit ridge]

So bfv is just a needy game I'm assuming

[clear widget]

no i think there is some kind of bugging going on i have the craziest specs

32gb of 3200mhz ram 8700k overlocked with liquid cooling and a 1080ti overclocked both vram and clock there is nothing needy enough to make this computer bottleneck

[tacit ridge]

hopefully a patch comes soon

[drowsy beacon]

I have 8700k and a 1080 and run 60-70% cpu and 97-99% gpu

[clear widget]

i can run 3 games on 3 monitors and be on 85% cpu usage

[tacit ridge]

That's power

[clear widget]

thats what im saying i think theres something else going on here

[latent light]

@tawdry hare get another stick of the same type of memory

1 stick of ram (single channel) just doesn't cut it anymore

[clear widget]

heres the really really weird part for me when i lower my settings my gpu usage goes down when i increase for example resolution scale to 200% i see 100% gpu usage but i want 144fps not high settings

[latent light]

that happens with a lot of games lol

[clear widget]

but like when i go to min settings i get on average 5-10 fps more because gpu usage drops so much

[latent light]

overwatch does that to me

[clear widget]

i get a solid 165fps on a 165hz monitor in overwatch no issues almost maxed settings

at 1440p

[latent light]

playing overwatch on low settings makes my CPU bottleneck my GPU

lol

CPU usage will be 90+%

[clear widget]

but like you would see that cpu usage is pegged at 100% on bfV my usage is 55-60% so there is no way

my ram isnt even breaking a sweat with xmp profile

[latent light]

I think the problem with 144hz monitors is that new games won't always be able to utilize it

just wait for a patch

[clear widget]

its frustrating especially since future frame rendering is so poorly optimized i lose 40 fps with it off but i want no input lag

[latent light]

my friend has a 1440p 165hz monitor but he has it capped at 120hz so his GPU usage doesn't run high all the time when he plays

he has a founders edition 1080 Ti which gets hot at full load lol

[clear widget]

tell him founders edition can run at 85C for years with no issue

[latent light]

he doesn't want his room heated up lol

[clear widget]

lmao

i lost a hard drive 2 years ago because my old gpu ran at 90C lmao
