HDD was a little too close to the card

latent light
#

oof

#

my M.2 NVMe SSD sits right next to my RX 580 on the motherboard

#

don't even have a heatsink on it

#

but it stays under 50C lol

clear widget
#

nice ya that was before i got intake fans so all i had is 1 exaust

#

it got a little toast + my crap was old anyways

latent light
#

hope you had a blower style cooler on that gpu if you only had an exhaust fan lol

clear widget
#

.... no

latent light
#

blower coolers work best in poorly ventilated cases

clear widget
#

i made that pc at 16 when i didnt know shit about computers

#

luckily i baught a 600W power supply and a tower case so i got too keep both of those swapped everything else

latent light
#

I like my RX 580 because I undervolted it a lot and it runs all games stable

#

I took off -125mV

#

still runs at base clock

clear widget
#

O-o

latent light
#

it stays around 65C full load

clear widget
#

wow what thats impressive

latent light
#

before undervolt, it went to around 76C

clear widget
#

how did that not lower ur clock

latent light
#

it doesn't boost anymore but it still hits the base clock

clear widget
#

oh and thats why games are most stable

latent light
#

RX 580 is rated for 185W but the undervolt makes it under 150W lol

clear widget
#

look im not the only one

latent light
#

lmao that dude has a i5-7500 and a gtx 1080

#

"something is broken, cpu 60-70%, GPU 70% and 50ish FPS, it was working fine like 2 days ago (70+ FPS) :("|
"indeed, something with the latest patch screwed the performance big time, I was running max fidelity 2 days ago, now I can't even make stable 60 fps with medium settings...."

latent light
#

bottleneck

clear widget
#

60-70% cpu usage

#

for the other guy

#

i had the same issue everything was fine before the patch

latent light
#

people had performance on par with BF1 before patch lol

clear widget
#

there was an update during early beta and all the sudden bam my fps tanking

latent light
#

I get 70-75 fps on ultra with my RX 580

clear widget
#

with FFR on right?

latent light
#

some dips under 60 whenever something is happening

#

yeah

#

although FFR didn't change a lot

clear widget
#

ya i get 100-120 but on some fucken maps it dips to 80 70 60

latent light
#

I bet i could get 144 fps on low settings

clear widget
#

try it cause like i said lowering my settings game me 10 fps

#

gpu usage 30% cpu usage 60

latent light
#

around 110-120 fps on low

clear widget
#

wdf

#

screw this man i when into my computer triple checked everything made sure there was absolutely 0 bottleneck

latent light
#

Battlefield games have always been well optimized for AMD cards, even though BFV is an Nvidia game

#

kind of strange tbh

clear widget
#

i used userbench my pc is performing in the 99th percentile all parts working above expectations

#

ive been holding off on reinstalling the game cause i dont wanna lose all the key bindings and settings i set

#

but i think i might have to try it

latent light
#

do a file integrity check

steep gust
#

userbenchmark is shit

#

Legit just an RNG software tbh

#

If you don't want to lose settings back up the config

latent light
#

16-core Threadripper 1950X is 45% off at MicroCenter lol

placid holly
#

am i the only one who has a smoothie game without any bug !!

rose eagle
#

yea even at $410 it aint worth it ๐Ÿ˜„

#

gaming cpu only!!!

sonic osprey
#

I want to buy 9900k, 16gb 3600, but the 9900k is not available at any stores :/

steep gust
#

Fun fact

#

RAM over 3000mhz CL16 has very little scaling in games

#

Beyond CL14 3200mhz you have literally no reason to spend money

#

Unless you benchmark

sonic osprey
#

yes but i do also work stuff on my computer

#

ie compile lots of code in parallel

red ingot
#

Who doesn't benchmark

sonic osprey
#

"spend money" like 20-40euros more, its like less than half on hour work

red ingot
#

Look at mr. Moneybags over here

#

Making 40-80 euros an hour

sonic osprey
red ingot
#

That's actually a lot

#

That's like $60-120 CAD/h

#

Wtf

#

Where do u work

sonic osprey
#

im a senior consult in ux/ui who can also do the coding part, working on a 3d construction design software

red ingot
#

Nice

#

That's like 120-240k CAD/year

#

Damn

#

U can donate me PC parts

sonic osprey
#

no

#

sorry, I will not :(

#

basically i'm billing the customer for 100e/hour

#

for the past 4 years so far, maybe its time to rise the price

steep gust
#

Uh yeah

#

RAM speeds won't cause a 20-30 minute drop in compile time

#

Also you should be looking at something like a 2950x then

red ingot
#

Welp I tried

#

Hopefully one day I'll be making that much

sonic osprey
#

yeah, considering amd build but still I somehow prefer more intel

red ingot
steep gust
#

Intel has shit price to performance

#

and shit consumer practices

#

Remember kids

red ingot
#

What daddy

steep gust
#

6c and 8c were impossible on the current LGA155x socket

red ingot
#

What do I have to remember

#

O.o

steep gust
#

Intel claimed a lot of shit as to why they kept 4c 8t flagship CPUs for years

#

Then Rzyen shows up

#

Look guys Kabylake can handle 6 cores

#

and then 8 cores

sonic osprey
#

well, what do you expect, do they want to say "yeah we could push more from this but we wont because we want to profit first before pushing more"

steep gust
#

Yes

sonic osprey
#

its all about making money brah

steep gust
#

You can make money and still have competitive products

#

See Maxwell -> Pascal for Nvidia

red ingot
#

Businesses 101

sonic osprey
#

unless there is competition its all how the sole provider handles the availability

red ingot
#

Intel still owns the market

#

They dgaf

steep gust
#

Not for consumers anymore

#

AMD is quickly gaining market share

red ingot
#

Consumers are like 5%

#

I don't have stats

#

It's a guess

steep gust
#

And Eypc 2 is going to trash Intel server market share

red ingot
#

But I doubt it can be large

#

For all we know they have bigger and better shit

steep gust
#

eh

red ingot
#

Ready to roll out

steep gust
#

Remember the whole 5.0ghz 28c?

sonic osprey
#

I hope the lower nm tech will provide more competition

#

I do

#

because more competition is better for consumers

steep gust
#

Its not competition

#

A fucking water chiller is beyond normal uses

#

*IIRC it was chilled water could have be phase change

red ingot
#

This is true

#

More competition is better

sonic osprey
#

it is better for consumers, because providers have the drive to do better

steep gust
#

It was an advertisement

That CPU was drawing thousands of watts

#

If you think Intel overclocking a $10,000 CPU is helping consumers then LUL

#

Since it was just an unlocked 8180

#

Yeah the 2990WX was an overhyped product, but it changed the market

sonic osprey
#

yes those things need to happen to push development forward

steep gust
#

Remember kids

sonic osprey
#

if you don't disrupt the market it is stale

steep gust
#

A few years ago 4k 30hz was considered impossible

#

Well more than a few years but shh

sonic osprey
#

when I started with computers 320x200 was good resolution

steep gust
#

Now we have single GPUs that can do 4k 60hz+

If you treat the 2080TI like the Titan GPU it is, then the next few generations are gonna be sweet

sonic osprey
#

400x300 was really good and 640x480 was unheard of

steep gust
#

You can mention CPU core count scaling in games

#

But there is a limit to that

#

Optimization around high core counts is fucking hard

sonic osprey
#

ofc there is a limit, it will be dependant on what the developers can split to separate cores

#

single frame in game about what all is happening has to happen synchronously

steep gust
#

I wish DX12 would become more common

#

Since proper DX12 is sweet

sonic osprey
#

oops had a typo, meant synchronously, not asynchronously

#

single frame has to be synchronous, but how the happenings are calculated can be asynhronous, but the synch point has to be based on the frame

steep gust
#

Hopefully AMD has something to combat Turing

#

and Intel doesn't fuck up their GPUs again

sonic osprey
#

yeah, I do hope there is more competition on graphics side

#

otherwise we just have to settle what nvidia will provide for us

steep gust
#

Also DDR5 and PCIE 4.0 will be f u n

#

Since PCIe 4.0 x8 is as fast as x16

That means NVMe won't be bandwidth limited

sonic osprey
#

yeah, but still, there are limits on the known materials used in computer tech for the time being, i'm pretty sure they have already reached the limits in lab environment but won't be releasing stuff if they can still keep milking with old existing cheaper tech

steep gust
#

Its mostly issues with mass production

sonic osprey
#

that is true

#

if the yield from production is low the prices gonna be sky high

steep gust
#

You can go about to 4nm before quantum tunneling becomes an issue

rose eagle
#

so.. i order through ebay newegg store get 9700k today.. 2 days to ship

#

ordered motherboard through newegg site, it is taking til dec 1

harsh walrus
#

guys weird issue here i5-4690k runs fine on dx11 on dx12 higher frames but cpu usage stays below 100%

#

any idea what might be the issue i definitely need it to max out because it feels laggy sometimes

rose eagle
#

dx12 uses less cpu

steep gust
#

DX12 is suppose to be more on GPUs

#

But considering BFV has a shit DX12 implementation

harsh walrus
#

still makes no sense where the lag might be coming from since the frames dont spike

steep gust
#

Frame times?

harsh walrus
#

~16

rose eagle
#

for dx12? its just crap to implement

#

you'll absolutely get hitching

sonic osprey
#

~16ms frametime = 60fps

steep gust
#

I meant frame time spikes

rose eagle
#

no matter what your pc is

steep gust
#

DX12 is possible to implement

#

Plenty of benchmarks do it properly

#

Games don't because not everyone is on DX12 and it isn't mainstream yet

harsh walrus
#

if i lock it with rivatuner could it help with frame time ?

steep gust
#

I wouldn't lock FPS

harsh walrus
#

yea not a fan of it as well

rose eagle
#

if you were a developer and you had to implement platform specific dx12 optimizations for like 10% benefit would you? x_x

#

clearly it's taking a monumental task to get it into Frostbite

steep gust
#

I'd implement DX12 and tell everyone to suck it up

rose eagle
#

imo.. it'll never make it in

steep gust
#

Just like how DX9 is dead

rose eagle
#

maybe next engine ๐Ÿ˜„

steep gust
#

DX11 also had rough years

#

@harsh walrus Do you know what is causing the hitching? Also if DX11 works just use it

rose eagle
#

i5 pairs with a 1060, need i7 for anything better imo

#

or a newer i5, at least 6c

steep gust
#

Use actual product names not naming schemes

#

Since Intel has fucked them

rose eagle
#

more like core thread count

steep gust
#

An i5-8600k is about the king of gaming price to performance if you overclock

Now a 7600k will struggle

rose eagle
#

3770k is just as good as a 7700k for gaming

steep gust
#

Yeah hyper threading isn't useful for games

rose eagle
#

4c4t + 1060, 4c8t does help a ton for V

sonic osprey
#

How would 16c32t threadripper run bf V?

steep gust
#

Bad

#

The way threadripper is built means it suffers in games

#

Look up a 2700x benchmark and then expect worse

sonic osprey
#

right

#

so basically intel still dominates

steep gust
#

For maximum FPS

sonic osprey
#

if you get 6 or 8 core intel

steep gust
#

The 2600 / 2700 will do perfectly fine for gaming

#

But if you want every last FPS then Intel

rose eagle
#

"perectly fine" but i bet an 8600k even beats a 2700x for gaming

sonic osprey
#

so watercooled 9900k would be best option at the atm, disregarding price

rose eagle
#

meh.. no

#

i bet a 9700k fully cooked OC will beat a 9900k

sonic osprey
#

9700k does not have HT

rose eagle
#

9900k is running hot as fk, anyone able to even OC it?

#

doesnt need it

#

havent you see 8600k vs 8700k benches?

#

no HT, less vulnerabilities ๐Ÿ˜„

steep gust
#

You do realize the 9900k doesn't run hot?

#

At stock

#

The 8700k was hotter

sonic osprey
#

thats why watercooled so you can oc

rose eagle
#

i really need to find the best aio

steep gust
#

Also 9th gen Intel as a whole is SHIT for overclocking

rose eagle
#

yea im concerned for that tbh

steep gust
#

Since the solder TIM kills thermals

rose eagle
#

you mean vs delid?

steep gust
#

yeah

sonic osprey
#

whats about the solder thing I have been reading?

#

they have some stock soldering on top of the chip?

rose eagle
#

gotcha, but still better than vs paste

steep gust
#

Intel went back to solder for the TIM between the IHS and die

#

but the issue is that they made the die thicker

#

and used too much solder

#

So its thermal conductivity is limited

sonic osprey
#

right, so basically rebuilding on top of that if you are professional oc'er is better

rose eagle
#

doesnt penetrate even as good as the 8700k paste method?

steep gust
rose eagle
#

what about just for general purpose OC, aftermarket aio or noctua

steep gust
#

I mean solder is great for sub zero

#

Since it doesn't crack

#

It depends on looks tbh

sonic osprey
#

I currently have 115x noctua NHD14, so wonder if upping that to AIO water cooling would be better if upgrading to 9900k

harsh walrus
#

@steep gust might not be cpu related it seems gpu is dropping from 100% usage to ~20

steep gust
#

A D15 and a 240mm AIO are about equal IIRC

#

*Or equally performing air cooler

#

@harsh walrus Do you also see a spike in frametimes? Use something like MSI Afterburner

sonic osprey
#

240mm?

steep gust
#

You really want a 280mm / 360mm AIO for heavy overclocking

#

At least when you can't delid

sonic osprey
#

NH D15 is 140mm?

steep gust
#

D15 is a air cooler

#

240mm refers to the radiator size

sonic osprey
#

k

#

I'm new to water cooling, never even considered one

steep gust
#

a 240mm radiators fits 2x120mm fans, which is where the name comes from

rose eagle
#

@steep gust do you have research regarding the 360 models at all?

sonic osprey
#

I have been considering NZXT x52 as AIO

steep gust
#

tbh

rose eagle
#

the floe riing 360 and coolermaster ML360R seem to be kings but info out there sucks

steep gust
#

I'd go with a custom loop at that point

#

With sales and shopping around you can do a custom loop for $200

rose eagle
#

i dont trust myself with that nor have the patience so its either the two 360 options or just slap a noctua on and be done

steep gust
#

It would be soft tubing and not all be name brand EKWB parts

rose eagle
#

the EVGA 280 is way up there in perf but very loud

steep gust
#

Its probably super thick

#

I would look for radiator thickness / size

#

You can always replace fans

rose eagle
#

my case only fits a tiny one ๐Ÿ˜„

#

ill have to measure the top, it only takes a 280 though

#

front can fit a 360 with some work

steep gust
#

Check the spec sheet

rose eagle
#

the top mount offsets to avoid ram

steep gust
#

My case would need slim fans to fit a radiator in the front with my GPU

rose eagle
#

but it would stock block them

#

so that is ugly

#

the view anyway

#

yea i only have like 75mm to the GPU

sonic osprey
#

guess the best option would be to just get some custom build from somewhere instead of trying to do yourself ๐Ÿค”

steep gust
#

ALL YOU HAD TO DO FRACTAL DESIGN IS MAKE THE CASE 0.5in LONGER

rose eagle
#

the 2 main 360s are like 52mm

steep gust
#

Literally like 2mm

#

25mm fans

rose eagle
#

lol which u got?

steep gust
#

Meshify C

rose eagle
#

i got the meshify c

#

ha

steep gust
#

with a ROG Strix GPU

rose eagle
#

yea its a short bus..

steep gust
#

Also my H100i doesn't block RAM

#

Its close

#

but as long as the RAM isn't longer than the DIMM slot it shouldn't cause issues

rose eagle
#

that keep things nice and cool to OC?

steep gust
#

ye

#

but I have a golden 8600k

#

Bad picture since side panel

#

27mm radiator + 25mm fans

sonic osprey
#

so, building a gaming rig, what do you recommend at the moment for cpu? 8700k?

steep gust
#

8700k / 8068k (if you overclock)

sonic osprey
#

even if money is not an issue?

rose eagle
#

Yep

steep gust
sonic osprey
#

interesting ๐Ÿค”

steep gust
#

Unless you really want a 9900k

#

But you can just buy a 1440p 144hz / 165z monitor

#

and be GPU bottlenecked (in most games / depending on GPU)

sonic osprey
#

I have 144hz 3840x1080 monitor

#

and 2080, which i'm maybe gonna upgrade to 2080 ti

#

if they get the stability on them that there should be, dont want the hassle of being in rma cycle

steep gust
#

3840x1080 is about 12% more pixels than a 2560x1440p monitor

#

Also 2080TI haven't been dying

#

Anymore than normal

storm kraken
#

they've been combusting

steep gust
#

uh no

#

There were 1070s that literally caught on fire

#

RMA rates for the 2080ti are normal

sonic osprey
#

in bfv i'm more cpu bound than gpu bound

#

because i can lower the details / scale if want more fps, would be nice to have steady 144+fps

steep gust
#

Look up 1440p benchmarks for the CPU / GPU you want and take an estimated guess from there

sonic osprey
#

seems like only option is to upgrade cpu/ram at the moment

steep gust
#

If you have 2x8GB of RAM don't upgrade

sonic osprey
#

because my 4770k@4.2 with 16gb 1600mhz ddr3 is limiting my cpu/ram speed, gpu is not issue

steep gust
#

DDR3 oof

split storm
#

I have DDR3 too

sonic osprey
#

that is why I am considering 9900k and 16gb 3600mhz

split storm
#

I don't have problems with it

steep gust
#

Depends on your use case

split storm
#

BF5 for example only uses 10gb of ram

sonic osprey
#

because even in overwatch which is less demanding, I cant get past 240fps with my ram, even with cpu & gpu load being at 50% only

steep gust
#

I doubt RAM is capping your FPS

split storm
#

Me too

steep gust
#

It sounds like a CPU cap since overwatch doesn't perfectly scale with cores

#

So 50% usage would be 4 cores at 100%

sonic osprey
#

4770k is 4c8t

steep gust
#

What is 50% of 8

sonic osprey
#

so maybe it is

steep gust
#

Also the 4770k isn't exactly speedy

sonic osprey
#

in BFV my cpu is usually at 80%

steep gust
#

BFV is good at using 6 cores

#

Its hard to compare the 4770k to any modern CPU due to DDR3

#

and other fun stuff

sonic osprey
#

yeah

steep gust
#

Since just matching RAM speed / timings isn't enough

sonic osprey
#

I mean I would guess the cpu could use faster ram

#

but it is not worth just getting faster ram

#

so I guess I will just have to upgrade all cpu+mobo+ram

split storm
#

I'm playing BF5 with an 4770 on high 60fps

#

I'm happy with that

steep gust
#

oof 60fps

sonic osprey
#

I have 4770k+2080 3840x1080 100+fps

steep gust
#

Don't ever try a high refresh rate monitor

#

I can't use a 60hz panel anymore

#

Even windows feels better at 144hz

rose eagle
#

lol yea i got 60 next to 144 and i can tell once it hits the other screen moving the mouse

#

i moved V over to it to feel the diff and its like a slide show

#

is OC sensitive to temps over 70c 80c etc? or should it OC regardless as long as you're under the thermal limit

#

mainly only limited by the voltage and lottery

#

like my current 3770k seems fine temp wise even on a 212 evo so it would seem a waste to get a noctua

#

if your CPU is just limited

harsh walrus
#

@steep gust so fps is ~100 frame time +/- 3-4 ms so my gues would be the gpu usage is cousing the lag

latent light
#

playing at 144hz is super expensive so stay away from it

#

enjoy your 1080p 60hz monitors while you can lol

rose eagle
#

1080 144 is fine

latent light
#

i might get a 75hz monitor soon

#

I push close to 75 fps on my RX 580 on ultra settings when playing BFV lol

dawn canyon
#

Is this the area to ask for help with the deluxe edition stuff not working?

steep gust
#

Generally temperatures on CPUs don't really change anything in the 70s and 80s

You only get scaling with subzero on CPUs, now memory can suffer when getting hot @rose eagle

latent light
#

I've seen CPUs throttle at 80-90C before but some CPUs have faulty sensors

#

my i5-4690K would throttle right before it hit 90C

#

so I assume it was off by about 10C or so

steep gust
#

CPUs shouldn't thermal throttle until 95-105C

#

Now turbo might drop to reduce temps but just disable that Kappa

#

Also disable CPU temp monitoring in the BIOS because who gives a shit about thermal throttling HaHAA

latent light
#

found a 1070 for $280

rose eagle
#

My buddy attempting to OC 7700k and even 4.8 giving errors

#

I think it's 4.2 base so ๐Ÿ’ฉ

#

10% OC not lottery winner

steep gust
#

Turbo of 4.5ghz

#

top 100% of 7700k can hit 4.8ghz with enough voltage

rose eagle
#

Did I get a lottery on my 3770k getting 4.3 or something?

steep gust
#

Dunno

rose eagle
#

Or 7700k just doesn't oc much

#

Mine is 3.5 base

steep gust
#

uh

#

Base clock means little ๐Ÿคท

rose eagle
#

22.8% OC though?

steep gust
#

My 8600k has a base of 3.6ghz and can do 5.3ghz

That isn't a 45% overclock since the all core turbo is like 4.1ghz

#

Google what the all core turbo is to find what you actually overclocked

rose eagle
#

If you can't exceed your turbo it's still worthwhile though?

#

I don't know how turbo functions once you exceed it

#

With your base clock

steep gust
#

tldr it depends on how you set it

rose eagle
#

3.5/3.9 is my CPU

steep gust
#

If you set 2 cores to 5.0ghz and the other 4 to 4.8ghz, then it is functionality the same as turbo

If single core workloads your CPU will turbo to 5.0ghz, and multicore will do 4.8ghz

#

Now its generally just easier to sync all cores

#

and then the CPU will turbo up to that

rose eagle
#

So mine is all core 4.3

steep gust
#

If you have all cores set to 43x on the multiplier yes

rose eagle
#

Boost 3.9 so that's void

#

Yes

steep gust
#

and yeah once you change the core multipliers then factory turbo is tossed out of the bag

#

Stock is still there for stuff like safe mode, safe boot, etc

ocean tulip
#

hello everyone...still looking to buy BFV...but still rocking the GTX970...anyone have experience running this game with 970?

#

great...thanks i will try it

#

i have new mobo, cpu, mem, and M2 drive coming in...cant afford those shiny expensive GPUs ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

kk

rose eagle
#

@ocean tulip 970 should be fine for 60fps easy

ocean tulip
#

thanks...thats good to know!

rose eagle
#

I got 50-80 in beta 1440p

#

3770k CPU

ocean tulip
#

seems like BF1 was a CPU hog more than GPU

rose eagle
#

V is moreso

#

So that could hurt you

kk...i got a 8700k coming this week

rose eagle
#

Oh yeah you'll be fine unless you want 100 fps

#

I mean not ultra..

ocean tulip
#

just as long as it runs smooth ๐Ÿ˜‰

rose eagle
#

But game looks amazing on low lol

ocean tulip
#

HAHA

split storm
#

What's wrong with 60fps? lol

steep gust
#

It feels bad

#

Like a slideshow

#

After you get use to 144hz at least

red ingot
#

anyone else getting bad server lag tonight

rose eagle
#

im getting bad actual FPS...

#

real bad

#

but i downclocked my CPU and assumed it was it, surely servers are shitting also

#

getting like 50fps sometimes x_x

sick robin
#

My tower has a 6600k at 4.2Ghz, 1070, and 16GB of ram what FPS / setting configs should I expect to see and use

#

I know my processor is kinda succ now cause no hyper thread but upgrading is not an option rn

rose eagle
#

yea i have to test by re-OCing but my FPS is SHIT tonight after putting my 3770k back to 3.5...

#

i had a nice 4.3 OC on it

#

which was about 20fps boost in game

royal hull
#

Iโ€™ve got a 6700k a 1080 and 16gb ram. Everything runs maxed out between 70 to 110 fps

#

It shits itself only when in breakthrough everyone is attacking/defending the same obj. Never dropped below 55 fps

#

Does dx12 improve performance? Mineโ€™s off

sick robin
#

It didnโ€™t for me in 1

#

Kinda made it shit itself tbh

royal hull
#

Ah no, my gameโ€™s smooth as silk

sick robin
#

I heard the game likes to eat cpu so I was a bit concerned but I should be fine

royal hull
#

Mind that all my hardware is stock. No oc whatsoever

sick robin
#

I got occasional stutter in 1 if I have chrome tabs open but if I keep everything closed itโ€™s fine

#

Just high? I run 1 at ultra.

#

Dang my machine is already aging oof

#

i5 6600k is the top end i5 from that generation

#

And yea Iโ€™ll mess with it when the time comes

red ingot
#

huh

#

okay well good to know it wasn't only just me

#

and yeah I feel like I was getting more fps drops than usual today too :/

#

which doesn't make sense cause there hasn't been a client side patch...

#

but i definitely felt stuttery/laggy

latent light
#

I think even a 8600K would sit around 90% usage in BFV lol

red ingot
#

I guess @rose eagle will let us know how his 9700k does

rose eagle
#

its only on certain maps my cpu is pegged and causes issues but id like to remove those dips

red ingot
#

pretty much every map except fjell for me

#

and probably just cause it's a small map

#

and plus this annoys the living heck outta me cause BFV is literally the only game I have issues with

split storm
#

Only map that I sometime have more usage is on Rotterdam, I used to get shit performance on arras too, but that worked itself off, don't know how

#

Oh wait! We got the new RX480 driver today!

#

I think

#

Yup, it's 18.11.2

fathom dagger
#

Great, Driver update just in time for me to switch to a 1070, Good job as always AMD

analog linden
#

I fixed my performance problems by switching to fullscreen, which I hate using

#

But it works. Windowed fullscreen was weird, the framerate was fine, but it wasn't smooth

latent light
#

AMD cards seem to have less trouble in BFV

#

my RX 580 holds up well, over 70 fps on ultra settings 1080p

#

then again, another rx 580 user could be different

#

which is what bad optimization is

clear widget
#

just realized 144hz lowers pixel life ๐Ÿ˜ญ my babies

prime jasper
#

seriously?

#

sounds kinda odd.

#

waht

rose eagle
#

im tempted to go with the EVGA CLC 280 , is cheapo, seems best aio and swap the fans

#

the competitor would be the Thermaltake floe riing 360 but $80 vs $175

neat nacelle
#

@Lyyted It's not really odd, but also really depends

#

the basic idea is that the pixels in your display have a limited number of times they can switch, but you should hardly reach that limit through normal use

prime jasper
#

ahh never thought of it like that. but wouldnt it be lowers pixel life faster? I cant imagine that number limit tho lol

quaint topaz

sad oof

cosmic star
#

i can't launch bf5

#

after 'play' nothing

prime jasper
#

Is the i5 8600k any good for battlefield v?

#

yes

#

i use an i5 4690k and run the game just fine

#

reee ok

#

what gpu you got

#

oof

#

lemme see

#

i use an i5 4690k with a gtx 1060 and i get like 90 fps. sometimes in 100s

lofty light
#

๐Ÿ‘€

prime jasper
#

Radeon RX580 8gb oc edition or something

#

that is a decent card

#

you should be running this game a bit better than me. amd cards work well in frostbyte engine games

#

ah

#

oki

Hey Guys. Does someone els have a Bug in BFV where u cant see things in ur arsenal? I can see the price but not the picture..

#

@wispy wing Dual channel 2x8gb 3200mhz ๐Ÿ˜ฆ not sure why im running low FPS then

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper how did you sort low fps problem for your i5? i use a 4590 and fps keeps contantly dropping with rx 580 at 1080p with low or either ultra settings. may whisper me solution?

craggy dagger
#

THE DAY IS TODAY MY FRIENDS

#

Or not?

#

idk

#

anyways, is there a chance my pc cannot have 2 screens?

prime jasper
#

there is-you try run two 4k screens ;p

#

it doesnt affect the perf but in fact hogs the memory clock usage making it idle at max on newer generation nvidia gpus

#

so it's better orr running secondary monitor on igpu

#

yep

#

it idles at 100%

#

for amd and gtx 1000 series

#

once u set the monitor up

unborn epoch
#

Doesn't happen for me

prime jasper
#

it maxed out the memory clock. at least to me

#

so i prefer use cpu';s integrated graphics for secondary monitor.-less stress for the gpu.

#

it idles at max

#

thats why ur gpu is above 50C

craggy dagger
#

@plain vessel what...? sorry but that was not my question?

prime jasper
#

it infact can easily reach 60C on idle running secondary monitor due to the fact of resolution

craggy dagger
#

i asked if there's a chance my pc, GPU cannot have more than 1 screen

prime jasper
#

let's say running 2-3 2k mnonitors are more heavier than 1080p or 720p right?

#

hiting in load 75C is normal

craggy dagger
#

@plain vessel WHERE IS IT

prime jasper
#

what u can do is to adjust fan curves

craggy dagger
#

bottom/up?

prime jasper
#

the mem clock is maxed out or nearly maxed

#

which means-ur gpu might idle in usage at arund 10% in example

#

but it takes memory clock which results in extra heat when fans off still.

#

once u plug the monitor to mb for igpu support-it dips down to 40s

#

and yet that reached 50C

craggy dagger
#

@plain vessel you took a picture like i can see through all the cables

prime jasper
#

so having single monitor on gpu would dip down temps under 40s

craggy dagger
#

wait, does that mean my temperture will go up?

#

temp

prime jasper
#

yep

craggy dagger
#

and that brings performance down...?

prime jasper
#

on idling system because of multi monitor plugged to gpu makes it take a little perf u could use for games

#

it's like zero to none

craggy dagger
#

@plain vessel thanks man,if i took a picture of my pc, could you analyze it please?

prime jasper
#

but in temperatures, having single monitor is about 10-25C lower degrees of any ambient temp

#

does your MB support DVI?

craggy dagger
#

like, im using one for games and one for you know, discord and stuff

prime jasper
#

or hdmi/DP ? so u could plug the second monitor there

craggy dagger
#

@plain vessel gtx 1060 6gb, NOT Ti

prime jasper
#

and run it on igpu

#

or it doesnt support integrated graphics?

craggy dagger
#

uhh wha?

#

english...?

#

Hmm, lemme check

prime jasper
#

@craggy dagger what cpu you got?

craggy dagger
#

where can i know? or i need to actually find the paper of my pc parts

#

@prime jasper i7 something, dont remember the rest

prime jasper
#

dxdiag

#

check the model

#

i hope it's not S/T so u can run igpu

craggy dagger
#

wait a miute

#

brb

prime jasper
#

meh just type in search dxdiag

#

it'll tell the processor u got

#

@craggy dagger running secondary monitor on single dedicated gpu affects not the actual performance by a significant margin but the temperatures of gpu idling with fans off. the way reduce it is to run monitor on igpu

craggy dagger
#

ok, so i have no idea where the reciept is

#

wait, people actually buy two gpus?

prime jasper
#

a sheet of paper with specifications

craggy dagger
#

why...?

prime jasper
#

listen

#

processor has their own graphics that are integrated

craggy dagger
#

@prime jasper i mean, i know what a reception is, i have no idea where is it tho

prime jasper
#

the igpu's are mostly as a back up for secondary monitor which isnt used for computing

#

also igpu's are a great opportunity in streaming if you dont have the capture card such as elgato.

craggy dagger
#

whats igpu

prime jasper
#

igpu-integrated graphics processing unit(intel cpu's igpu)

#

for amd integrated graphics are called APU.

craggy dagger
#

ok, so i can use my cpu as a backup plan for my second screen

prime jasper
#

yeh

#

but u ned have dvi/hdmi or dp port for it

#

and enable igpu's in bios

craggy dagger
#

sound ok i guess, does it affect performance?

prime jasper
#

low to none

#

and your dedicated card will idle at lower temperatures

craggy dagger
#

what do you mean, will idle at lower tempeatures

#

?

prime jasper
#

the rest of igpu's performance u can use for obs as a streaming card until you get dedicated one

#

yeh

#

on idle ur 1060 will idle at lower temps

#

it can be from10C to 25C difference

#

depending on ambient temps which usually isnt a matter.

craggy dagger
#

this thing is so complicated lmao, i just want a 144hz screen

#

but i dont wanna waste my current one

prime jasper
#

for me the room can be at 15C or at 25C, so the temps are just 2C diff when using igpu for multi monitor

craggy dagger
#

so im gonna use it as a second one

prime jasper
#

buy an adapter

unborn epoch
#

My 1080ti is 40c idle

prime jasper
#

if ur mobo doesnt support dvi and its a dvi port

craggy dagger
#

OMG THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED

unborn epoch
#

But with fans not spinning that's expected

craggy dagger
#

How much does an adapter cost?

prime jasper
#

it rlly depends

craggy dagger
#

@unborn epoch omg shut up nick you are making me more stressed than I am

prime jasper
#

it can be from 1$ to 20$'s

#

usually 3$ ๐Ÿ˜„

craggy dagger
#

difference between prices is?

prime jasper
#

hgo from a dvi let's say to DP or hdmi basic cable

#

the performance-usually spliters are most expensive

#

or cables that can handle higher badwidth but in basic tasking tat's a waste of money.

unborn epoch
#

Just plug in the fucking cables

craggy dagger
#

omg i might as well just give up on this current screen

prime jasper
#

look

craggy dagger
#

really, its gonna make me have less of an headache

prime jasper
#

use ur mobo as a station for secondary screen

craggy dagger
#

and a mobo is?

prime jasper
#

go to fking bios and find enable multi monitor

#

motherboard

#

it'll enable integrated graphics if u didnt until now

unborn epoch
#

Unless you old ass monitor has a VGA connection you will be able to connect a 144hz monitor and your old monitor

craggy dagger
#

nick i see you typing there

#

OMG

#

@unborn epoch its a white cable

#

DETAILS 100

#

really tho?

unborn epoch
#

The connector is white?

craggy dagger
#

true.

unborn epoch
#

Or the cable is white

craggy dagger
#

connector

#

the one i plug in, yes\

unborn epoch
#

Then it's most likely dvi

craggy dagger
#

GOOD OR BAD

unborn epoch
#

Good

craggy dagger
#

YES.

#

so what do i do first when i get the monitor

#

if i even buy it

unborn epoch
#

Your GPU has at least one displayport connector

#

So connect your new monitor to the display port connector on your gpu

#

Graphics card*

craggy dagger
#

but my screen that im using now is already connected

unborn epoch
#

Yas your 1060 has 3 or 4 inputs

craggy dagger
#

i mean, it has small holes

#

is it good?

unborn epoch
#

Take a picture

craggy dagger
#

oh come on

#

i gotta change passwords and stuff

unborn epoch
#

You can't name the brand

#

I don't know what you mean by small holes

#

Also imgur doesn't require an account to upload images

#

If you want a correct answer the easiest route is a picture

craggy dagger
#

ok

#

just wait a bit can you?

#

thanks a bunch

prime jasper
#

When they drop the new patch? 4 dec?

craggy dagger
#

wrong channel my friend

prime jasper
#

Oh i saw that now

craggy dagger
#

wait, i dont need a certain cable for the monitor, right? different ones can work if i got it right

prime jasper
#

yes, as long the motherboard supports that port.

#

unless you need keep your monitor plugged into the gpu so keep at it

craggy dagger
#

so if i do, its false?

prime jasper
#

u dont need change

#

it depends on what ports monitor supports

craggy dagger
#

wait, it can support multiple ones?

prime jasper
#

and gpu always of current gen supports 1dvi 1hmi and DP

craggy dagger
#

im just going to get a picture of my pc

prime jasper
#

gpu can support multi monitors depending on of a maximum resolution

craggy dagger
#

1920x1080 is ok?

prime jasper
#

maximum resolution of 1060 is 7680x4320@60Hz

craggy dagger
#

im gonna make then compy the primary one, not stretch

#

@prime jasper lmao thats alot

prime jasper
#

u cna plug into even 240hz monitor

#

means

#

u can run let's say 4k UHD+ 2K monitors at the same time

#

and a highly limited 2x 4's UHD-real 2x 4k will not be supported.

craggy dagger
#

if im gonna take a picture of my pc, are you going to be able to analyze what's what?

prime jasper
#

u can run up to 4 1920x1080p monitors on your card

#

that doesnt include the igpu if ur mb has its own ports. but sorta of a waste xd

#

your card has 5 ports

#

if u plug 1080p 1920\s monitors there will be 4 of them fully supported

#

1920x4=7680p on 1080x4=4320p

#

but plugging into 4of them limits the main monitor's refresh rate-itll degradate from 144hz to 60hz.

#

so 2 monitors are a sweet spot for 1080p@gtx 1060

craggy dagger
#

so there's no chance i cant fit two if i got it right

#

just play around and see what cable fits

#

right?

unborn epoch
#

Yes

#

You can easily connect 2 monitors. It's not a graphics card limit

craggy dagger
#

thx

prime jasper
#

gpu limit is 4 1920x1080p which results in only 60hz support.

#

so connecting two 1080p while one of them is 144hz-there's no limitations

craggy dagger
#

so lemme get it right now, how do they work?

#

does my mouse just smoothly move from one to another?

#

my most concerns are how the mouse moves from one to another

#

what about ingame?

#

does it happen too?

#

great, im using fullscreen

#

hmm, when im gonna press ESC for the menu ingame, is it gonna let me do so? because thats the whole point of two screens

#

when i do that i can see my mouse soooooo

#

?

#

i mean, when im pressing esc to see my mouse

#

thats really disapointing

#

thats the whole reason i wanted to get a second monitor, TO NOT tab out

#

hmm

#

nah, im only using fullscreen

#

i wonder if i can make bf not tab out but only show desktop

prime jasper
#

not minimize it and make temp windowed?

#

if i get correctly you need it stick full screen right awhile surfing on the other monitor right? do borderless for battlefield but at first adjust refresh rate for the main monitor to the max else it'll be set to smth random

craggy dagger
#

i only play fullscreen, i dont like anything else

#

btw, when i mirror my screens, it doesnt litterally miror them right?

#

for example, i want to have discord opened on the second one and bf on the primary

molten coral
#

So why do you prefer fullscreen? there isn't really a change between that and borderless fullscreen.

#

It's only easier to swap over to different screens.

craggy dagger
#

i just like it

molten coral
craggy dagger
#

btw, do you have an answer to my question?

molten coral
#

sorry what was the question.

#

I didn't read everything

craggy dagger
#

above your first message

molten coral
#

if you mirror your screens one screen will copy your main monitor

unborn epoch
#

windows never mirrors

#

mirror = copy

craggy dagger
#

how can i make one show bf and one show discord

unborn epoch
#

drag discord to the screen you want and open battlefield

craggy dagger
#

so what option to choose in windoes?

unborn epoch
#

expand

#

or extend

#

something along those lines

craggy dagger
#

doesnt that mean bf will be all over the two screens if i choose fullscreen?

unborn epoch
#

no that never happens unless you set it up specifically inside nvidia control panel

prime jasper
#

it wont since you;ll be able adjust the resolution for a single monitor and choose which one supports the game.

craggy dagger
#

which one supports the game=primary monitor???

prime jasper
#

yep

craggy dagger
#

ah

#

i got it

prime jasper
#

u choose primary one on the game settings

craggy dagger
#

ahhhh

#

much better

#

much clearer

#

much Y E S

unborn epoch
#

it's easier to do it in windows too, not all games support monitor selection

prime jasper
#

in nvidia control panel u choose mods-extend/expand screen or separate

#

also mirror

craggy dagger
#

@unborn epoch bf does

unborn epoch
#

yes, bf is not all games

craggy dagger
#

@prime jasper its ok its also in windoes

unborn epoch
#

bf is barely a game

molten coral
#

This is how my setup looks like and thx to borderless I can just swap over without tabbing out @craggy dagger

#

Not playing a game at the moment but you get the point

craggy dagger
#

OMG WHY

#

WHY ARE YOU USING VERTICAL

unborn epoch
#

also make sure you set your refreshrate to 144 in windows, makes everything in windows a lot more enjoable

craggy dagger
#

i get it

#

thanks

molten coral
unborn epoch
#

ya looks nice

#

looking to the left or up is equally strenuous

#

or right

#

and if you have a true neckbeard chair you just have a headsupport anyway

strong breach
#

send me a bottle

molten coral
#

That pic is from months ago those bottles aren't there anymore

unborn epoch
#

nacho, why not route your headphone cable underneath the table?

molten coral
#

I take my headphone with me if I go somewhere on the train etc

strong breach
#

SMH Nacho

unborn epoch
#

ah right

lofty light
#

I've got three screens all in a line

#

An ultrawide in the middle too ๐Ÿ˜›

molten coral
#

I've like 20 more bottles downstairs.

#

I can share

unborn epoch
#

do you also have 20 more livers

#

2077 cybernetic technology, hotswappable livers

molten coral
#

I'm half cyborg, I had an operation to change my liver.

#

So I can drink all I want and don't get drunk Kappa

unborn epoch
#

so are you 25% human or 25% machine?

#

assuming a cyborg is 50/50

molten coral
#

If i'm 25% human and 25% machine what is the other 50% thinkies

unborn epoch
#

a cyborg per definition is already human/machine

#

i'm taking this too far, thanks for RUINING IT

#

the other 50% is probably nachos though

craggy dagger
#

i hope you guys are ready

#

to see my pc

the picture doesnt upload...?

craggy dagger

@unborn epoch

#

do it right niw

#

now

unborn epoch
#

relax

craggy dagger
#

so what cable do i need?

#

for the new screen

lofty light
#

They should come with?

sick robin
#

Iโ€™ve been wanting to do that with my monitors as well but never got around to buying the mount

unborn epoch
#

no

#

cheaper 144hz monitors come with HDMI cables, which is dumb as hell

#

you need displayport for any new 144hz+ monitor

sick robin
#

I say I want to free up space in my desk but I know Iโ€™m probably just gonna put another monitor there cause thatโ€™s just how I am

lofty light
#

HDMI can technically support it

unborn epoch
#

new standard can yes

lofty light
#

But you'll find the manufacturers will cheap out

sick robin
#

Is it 2.0 or 2.1 that can

#

Iโ€™m not up to snuff on my cables

lofty light
#

My two secondary screens are 144Hz and they only get the full Hz on DVI-D

sick robin
#

I mean if it works whatever I use DVI-D on my second monitor cause itโ€™s like 7 years old lol

unborn epoch
#

ya

#

older screens need dvi-d

#

or displayport

sick robin
#

It has DVI-D and VGA

unborn epoch
#

yours is hella old then

sick robin
#

Itโ€™s some old Samsung 1080p monitor

lofty light
#

Mines got DVI-D and HDMI but an older standard

sick robin
#

I donโ€™t need a fancy screen for discord or system monitors

#

For its age itโ€™s actually a really nice panel lol

#

I wanna get a 144Hz Monitor but I feel like my 1070 couldnโ€™t run games at that speed

#

Or games like battlefield I guess

unborn epoch
#

what resolution

#

it would run bfv at 1080p easily, if you lower your settings that is

ivory kayak
#

anyone else got fps drops after new update?

prime jasper
#

my page file is hitting 12gb on BFF

#

bfv

#

how bad is that

#

and should I consider moving the game to my ssd

#

actually I think Iโ€™m reading it wrong

steep gust
#

That is bad

#

Move your page file to your SSD

#

and BFV

#

and get more RAM

sick robin
#

How big is BF5 atm

#

I only have a 250GB SSD I might have to purge stuff when it comes out of the performance benefit is high

#

Oh itโ€™s already out isnโ€™t it

#

When I get around to buying it

red ingot
#

Maybe I should try moving bfv to my ssd and see if that helps

#

Has anyone done that and know if it makes a difference?

steep gust
#

It will if its using a page file a ton

red ingot
#

No clue if it is.. lol

prime jasper
#

would mix and match 8 + 4 gig sticks work

#

you only need 12 gigs of ram for bf to run at a stable framerate right

steep gust
#

you lose dual channel

red ingot
#

Afaik mixing kits is never a good idea

unborn epoch
#

mixing is possible if you get the timings identical

#

gl with that

red ingot
#

challenge accepted

steep gust
#

or just use jedec standard

#

every RAM kit is rated at 2133mhz

#

Its not recommended since you lose almost all overclocking when different sized RAM sticks

#

Just buy a second 8GB stick for like $40

rose eagle
#

@steep gust so if somehow a 212 evo can keep a cpu at 75c before it starts being unable to be OC you'd say that's prob just due to the cpu itself right? a better cooler would be useless.

#

useless, as far as a better OC

green nebula
#

Depends which cpu ?

red ingot
#

or well, how much voltage ur pushing through

rose eagle
#

i mean let's just assume you've hit the "best" voltage and mhz and it's at 75c

#

the cpu doesnt seem like it'll take more

#

buying a noctua or better cooling wouldnt help it OC more?

red ingot
#

idk about oc

#

maybe better temps

rose eagle
#

if it was reaching like 90c i think it might

red ingot
#

i know when I switched from my 212 Evo to an h100i my temps went down by like 10c

#

under max load

rose eagle
#

im prob buying a CLC 280

red ingot
#

used to peak at like 70c i peak at like 60c now

rose eagle
#

putting my 140mm front fans on it

#

that cooler for some reason seems the best rad

red ingot
#

god i want your stuff to come in already

#

i want the benchmarks

#

๐Ÿ˜„

rose eagle
#

i had like 9 tabs opened last night researching lol

#

man i had shit FPS again last night...

#

on base clock

red ingot
#

:/

#

i was getting shittier fps than usual

#

which doesnt make sense

#

other guys i was playing with were saying same thing

#

idk what kind of sorcery is happening rn

unborn epoch

twentybillion megahurts

red ingot
#

yes

@rose eagle If you are at the daily voltage limit on a hyper 212, or require a ton more voltage to hit the next multiplier then a better cooler does nothing

unborn epoch
#

just buy a damn 9700k

#

FFS

steep gust
#

9700k is not a good cpu

unborn epoch
#

get that motherboard FAASSSTTEEERRRR

rose eagle
#

yea so i think im just going to slap my 212 Evo on the new cpu and see if it OCs first

#

if im thermal limited then ill look into an aio

steep gust
#

All of 9th gen CPUs are bad products

green nebula
#

9700k is trash

๐Ÿคท

unborn epoch
#

ur a bad product

#

tell yo MUM

rose eagle
#

is trash but if you gave me a 8700k vs 9700k for free i wouldnt piss on the 9700k and reject it lol

#

rtx is trash as well

#

guess my whole PC will be trash ๐Ÿ˜‰

green nebula
#

i'd sell 9700k and save for Ryzen 7 2700x

#

๐Ÿคท

rose eagle
#

2700x is a downgrade from my fkin 3770k though

steep gust
#

RTX is trash, Turing is okay

rose eagle
#

i cant just buy it and wait for amd to release their new line

unborn epoch
#

9700k beats 2700x in vidya all day everyday

steep gust
#

So just wait for Zen2

green nebula
#

I'm not exactly only doing video games though.

unborn epoch
#

the guy behind zen already left amd

#

everything amd is coming with now will be DOOKIE

#

because the brain behind current architecture already ran away

steep gust
#

what

rose eagle
#

who needs HT when ye got 8 cores!

unborn epoch
#

DOOKIE

steep gust
#

You really think Intel has the same people who made x86?

unborn epoch
#

no, that's why you haven't seen any major improvements for years

rose eagle
#

no one can take over

unborn epoch
rose eagle
#

apple is dead

unborn epoch
#

also x86 is made by amd

rose eagle
#

Blizzard is dead

#

oh wait..

unborn epoch
#

or at least, amd has the patent

steep gust
#

uh no?

#

Intel made the 8086 that pioneered the x86 CPU instruction set

unborn epoch
#

ya not the 64bit variant we see now

#

is playing Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son

#

this is your jam @rose eagle

red ingot
#

wat

unborn epoch
#

The x86-64 InstrUcTure Set is PAtenTEd By AmD

steep gust
#

Intel has its own variants of it

#

Intel owns multiple patents AMD needs

unborn epoch
#

ya intel is better

steep gust
#

ya no

#

Intel is shit

unborn epoch
steep gust
#

They didn't expect competition which is why getting 10nm to work is taking so long

unborn epoch
#

apple will be #1 chip designer in 10 years anyway

#

who KAAAREEESS

steep gust
#

Apple won't

#

Apple makes mobile ARM CPUs

unborn epoch
#

which will be faster than whatever amd and intel is doing

steep gust
#

You do realize you can't draw 500w on a mobile phone LUL

unborn epoch
#

You do realize they are planning on making chips for their non-mobile products as well notlikethis

#

so called mac

steep gust
#

Doesn't mean they will be good

unborn epoch
#

MakinTooSh

#

ya will be the best

steep gust
#

Mac have shitty cooling solutions

unborn epoch
#

1 trillion budget, eaaasy

red ingot
#

draw 500w on mobile phone

#

well

unborn epoch
#

shitty cooling solution requires more efficient chips = better chipskees

steep gust
#

An overclocked 7980XE easily does 500w

#

Also silicon has some pretty well know limits and just becoming more efficient =/= better

unborn epoch
#

shut up amd fanboy ur such a debby downer bro

#

who even thinks about silicon anyway

green nebula
unborn epoch
#

amd will probably release a fully optics based processor by the year 2021

#

err

#

apple

#

amd is still on wool technology

#

call it Retina

red ingot
#

so what's the solution then

#

once we reach the limits of silicon

#

im curious

unborn epoch
#

there are plenty of (more expensive) materials to chase after

steep gust
#

There are more exotic materials

red ingot
#

i like exotic

#

but like what though - im genuinely curious

unborn epoch
#

Graphene

red ingot
#

cause yeah afaik moore's law is becoming less and less relevant every year

#

so like graphene doesn't have the same limits of silicon?

unborn epoch
#

apparently not, i'm no graphenist

#

it's just extremely difficult to work with

steep gust
#

Anything that is a conductor could be used

#

Moore's Law isn't an actual law

#

Its an observation

#

That isn't super accurate even nowadays

red ingot
#

well yeah no i know it's an observation not a law

#

but like it's been pretty relevant afaik until the last few years

#

and yeah like back in the 60's or whatever everything was expanding at an exonential rate now not so much

#

but i guess silicon is still used cause it's the cheapest? just found some random article about graphene and apparently it's way better than silicon

unborn epoch
#

also i'm confident the future isn't even in electronic cpus, it's all about the protons bay-bee

red ingot
#

more speed & less power

#

plus from what i understood before the issue also comes down to size - like we can only make shit so small

#

cause u know can't really make something smaller than the size of an atom

steep gust
#

Before that

#

You hit quantum tunneling

red ingot
#

yeah what's quantum tunneling

#

i've heard people throw that term around

unborn epoch
#

funky shit, that's for sure

red ingot
#

and google is like no help

#

it's all too sciency for my small brain

steep gust
#

Its when electrons decide to be in a different spot randomly

red ingot
#

i see

#

so like that happens when u get super small

#

and not much u can do to counter it

steep gust
#

Quantum tunnelling or tunneling is the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle passes through a potential barrier that it classically cannot surmount tldr electrons go through stuff they shouldn't

red ingot
#

i see

#

i guess i'm just trying to understand why that happens as u get smaller + what can we do to stop that

steep gust
#

Quantum mechanics apply to tiny stuff on the scales on atoms

So don't go that small and its not an issue

#

You can't really stop it

red ingot
#

ah so essentially we are restricted by size then

steep gust
#

It ruins CPUs since they kinda rely on electrons moving in defined ways

red ingot
#

yeah that makes sense

unborn epoch
#

photonic computing

steep gust
#

The chances are super super super small still

But when you have billions of transistors with billons of cycles a second then the chances go up

red ingot
#

idk i guess im just wondering whether we're close to reaching our limits
