4months is a long ass time for tech

rose eagle
#

i mean, i went back and forth a lot but ultimately got a 9700k

crisp shoal
#

My 6700k is still doing fine so I don't really even though of upgrading it yet

rose eagle
#

opposed to a 2700x and upgrade to whatever they come out with

sour ivy
#

I thought you were staying with your old CPU forever @rose eagle

rose eagle
#

fine is relative ;P

sour ivy
#

๐Ÿ˜‹

crisp shoal
#

Do you think it will bottleneck a rtx2070?

rose eagle
#

yes

#

can 100% assure it will

#

i mean thats basically the exact same as my 3770k OCd

#

for gaming

#

i can let everyone know hopefully tonight ๐Ÿ˜‰

crisp shoal
#

mhh okay good to know

rose eagle
#

and you better believe ill be slandering the shit outta anyone on 4c8t thinking their CPU isnt a bottleneck lol

crisp shoal
#

people say it seems to be a problem with 4k gaming

formal ridge
#

I was torn for a while between the 9900k and the 9700k

rose eagle
#

it would be less a problem at 4k

crisp shoal
#

but I am not in 4k yet so I assume it won't be a problem

rose eagle
#

than more

formal ridge
#

Iโ€™m still gonna be torn

#

When I buy everything

rose eagle
#

the lower your res, the worse your CPU will be a bottleneck

#

not higher

formal ridge
#

I like lower res on every game besides battlefield

crisp shoal
#

oh yea true
didn't even think about that

formal ridge
#

CSGO, blackout, dota. All on the lowest res possible

#

Battlefield ULTRA

crisp shoal
#

oh really?

#

so you play on like 600x400 or something?

unborn epoch
#

ratio or res?

crisp shoal
#

or am I getting something wrong

unborn epoch
#

i understand low res csgo if you never changed from cs

formal ridge
#

Lower res to get rid of the stupid unnecessary clutter

unborn epoch
#

low res makes you a lot less accurate though

formal ridge
#

You trolled me so hard nick

unborn epoch
#

why

#

only reason low res works in cs is because 99% of the situations in cs are closerange anyway

formal ridge
#

How can a res affect your accuracy?

rose eagle
#

i dont always snipe but when i do, i like to see more than 32 pixels

unborn epoch
#

because there are less pixels to aim on

formal ridge
#

I never heard or had any issues with that

unborn epoch
#

because cs is mostly cqc

storm osprey
#

resolution, is the amount of pixels you can see

#

if you mean low, like under 1080p

unborn epoch
#

800x600 most likely ๐Ÿ˜„

storm osprey
#

then you are essentially blurring the pixels

#

which mean it might look like you landed a headshot, but you missed

#

but in certain games, like csgo, thats not much of a problem since it is mostly cqc

unborn epoch
#

i played at 800x600 a long time, later i switched to a custom 4:3 resolution at 1440p

formal ridge
#

I use 1280x960

#

In csgo

#

Aka god res

unborn epoch
#

god res

storm osprey
#

are you still gonna use that res with this build?

unborn epoch
#

any t1 player will destroy you at 400x400 or 4K

formal ridge
#

When I was pro in source I used 1024 x 768

unborn epoch
#

res doesn't make you anything

formal ridge
#

Iโ€™m only gonna use that res for csgo

#

Every other game is going to use native

unborn epoch
#

and you'll change that res if you have 10 losses in a row

formal ridge
#

Never

#

It messes with your consistency if you change res

unborn epoch
#

also how is that pro res

#

s1mple uses 1024x768

formal ridge
#

4:3 with a hd res

unborn epoch
#

oh scream uses that res

#

oh shox, too

red ingot
#

@rose eagle your mobo coming in tonight?

storm osprey
#

is coldzera still considered the best csgo player?

unborn epoch
#

nah

#

s1mple is

formal ridge
#

Nah

#

He was a while ago

#

But the tables have turned

#

Brazilian csgo was at the top 2 years ago

#

Now the power is back with EU

rose eagle
#

@red ingot its supposed to be

unborn epoch
#

astralis is da best

red ingot
#

it better be

#

i want those benchmarks

unborn epoch
#

but individual player, s1mple is simply #1

formal ridge
#

S1mple is just on another level

#

But has very aggro game play

#

Which makes or breaks Navi a lot

unborn epoch
#

ya

#

still he's #1

formal ridge
#

Astralis is playing 4D chess

#

While everyone is playing checkers

rose eagle
#

whats the difference between a cpu with base freq like 3.6 and boost 4.3 vs one with 4.0 and 4.3?

unborn epoch
#

f0rest and get_right need to come back

storm osprey
#

fuck forest

unborn epoch
#

f0rest is baeeeee

storm osprey
#

did you see my story about playing vs him?

unborn epoch
#

no

red ingot
#

do tell

unborn epoch
#

did he destroy you?

red ingot
#

sits patiently

storm osprey
#

when i first started pc gaming i came against him

#

and yea

#

he fucking wrecked

#

and i was new so i didnt even know about hacking

#

i was just so dumbfounded how someone could be this good

red ingot
#

lol

storm osprey
#

i didnt know who he was, the lobby was just freaking out about it

formal ridge
#

Back in my pro sources day I randomly played against flusha in a pug and he was just fucking GOD

red ingot
#

and from then on you dedicated your life to esports to one day rise above him and beat him?

storm osprey
#

fuck no, i went back to console for the next 5 years

red ingot
#

rip

unborn epoch
#

zozzle

red ingot
#

that's not a motivational story

formal ridge
#

Lmao

storm osprey
#

its a realistic sad story

red ingot
#

i wanted an underdog story

storm osprey
#

with an all too familiar ending

#

failure

red ingot
#

where he gets rekt but then he keeps trying and failing, but slowly getting better

formal ridge
#

I will never ever play against flusha again

red ingot
#

and one day becoming the best the world has ever seen

unborn epoch
#

flusha isn't that godlike anymore

red ingot
#

and then i make it into a movie and make millions

unborn epoch
#

he stopped using cheats

formal ridge
#

He was back in the day

#

I couldnโ€™t touch him

red ingot
#

you know who the best is though?

storm osprey
#

i remember my friend tried doing a cal team, and i played with him, i think we were 2nd lowest group or whatever they called it

#

we had some ripoff name of a good cs team

#

they asked us to scrim one day

unborn epoch
#

nerds in pyjamas

storm osprey
#

that... that sucked

red ingot
#

lol

storm osprey
#

at this time we were individually above average players

#

but they were semi pro, and good teammates

red ingot
#

u mean nerds in greasy undershirts and boxers

unborn epoch
#

nerds in wifebeaters

storm osprey
#

man, all of us were so sad after that scrim

unborn epoch
#

stained wifebeaters

red ingot
#

and then @storm osprey got a job

formal ridge
#

My best match in cal came in cal main against devastation where we beat them after being down 13-2 on cpl fire

red ingot
#

and left esports

formal ridge
#

Good times man, good times.

storm osprey
#

i was a freshman at the time, i just went back to console gaming and finished school

#

freshman in highschool

red ingot
#

sigh

#

i remember the good ol days of COD4

#

that was my jam

#

i absolutely destroyed

red ingot
#

but i also played way too much

naive trench
#

gaaaaaaaaaa

formal ridge
#

Highlight of my cs career

naive trench
#

amazon fucked my asshole

red ingot
formal ridge
#

@storm osprey

red ingot
#

o.o

#

u went pro

storm osprey
#

i couldnt imagine the hours it takes to get into a pro team

red ingot
#

i don't think i have that kind of dedication

storm osprey
#

cs is so much more than being a good shot/map layout/positioniing

#

having those 3 takes you far in a lot of games

#

not cs

red ingot
#

imo being that good at a game isn't even fun anymore cause it becomes a chore

storm osprey
#

i played OW at a semi pro level, and even at that level i didnt like how much i HAD to play

red ingot
#

that's what i mean

#

you have "practices" and shit

#

f that

#

i just wanna plaaaaaaaaaaay

worldly sable
#

Guys can i ask you guys a question? every time im starting the game it like start from the very begning in reset my settings

formal ridge
#

I played more than 50+ weeks once I went pro in source

#

It was miserable

storm osprey
#

it was like 2 hours of scrims a day, vod/strat reviews before and after, and then matches on weekends

red ingot
#

ew

storm osprey
#

thats pretty lenient too, but i didnt like it

red ingot
#

yeah i don't want anyone criticizing my play

#

and being forced to "practice"

formal ridge
#

It had to be done

red ingot
#

and play all strategically rather than run in and go yolo

storm osprey
#

we played vs teams that put 3x more hours than us into the game as a team, and we would beat them xD

red ingot
#

plus then you never get any hard flanks

#

cause the other team isn't completely retarded

formal ridge
#

I played 2 season with dazed

#

And let me tell you

#

That man would yell at you for every little mistake

#

He was a perfectionist

red ingot
#

plus i feel like the skill gap between top 1% and top 0.1% and top 0.01% is massive

storm osprey
#

bleh

formal ridge
#

But we did win open twice before source died because of that

red ingot
#

i wish i got into cs in the early days

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

storm osprey
#

yea, we were one of the better semi pro teams, and then we faced jake (went on to be in OWL) and his team, and we got slaughtered

red ingot
#

never got to play source or 1.6

storm osprey
#

slaughtered by troll comps too

#

it was so demoralizing

formal ridge
#

I started cs in beta 3 and made pro in source. But it was such a small community at the time

#

CSGO is soooooo big

#

I wish I made it pro in that game

#

Instead of source

red ingot
#

i wish i got into these games when the community was small

#

more fun imo

formal ridge
#

So much more money to be made today

red ingot
#

more tight nit

#

yeah

#

idgaf about $$ from gaming i'd rather have a career doing something else

storm osprey
#

yea source was, idk, i didnt like it at all

red ingot
#

thankfully, we have bfv

storm osprey
#

oh yea, when i played vs forest, i was using a ball mouse xD

red ingot
#

ur showing ur age

storm osprey
#

27 here

red ingot
#

oof

#

im almost old now

formal ridge
#

Ball mouse lol

#

Thatโ€™s so old

red ingot
#

ikr

#

alright im going to go be semi-productive for a bit

formal ridge
#

I used a mx510

#

Best mouse before they discontinued it ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

storm osprey
#

i think i had a ball mouse for gaming till i built my own pc in 2014

red ingot
#

wow

storm osprey
#

granted up till 2014 i wasnt seriously pc gaming, and was using family computer

unborn epoch
#

family computer OMEGALUL

red ingot
#

make sure u clear internet history boys

unborn epoch
#

Haven't seen one of those in 20 years

storm osprey
#

lol

#

yea things have changed

red ingot
#

computers are cheap now

#

and mainstream

unborn epoch
#

ur butt is cheap

storm osprey
#

yea

#

also when i lived with my mom we didnt make much money

#

so family computer was all we got

sonic osprey
#

best gaming mouse was logitech wingman gaming mouse, ofc ballmouse PogChamp

unborn epoch
#

i had a razer boomslang for a very long time

red ingot
#

@storm osprey had to sell his body on the streets to afford his family computer

unborn epoch
#

i think i got mine in 2002 or 2001

storm osprey
#

nah, i sold my body for my own console

red ingot
unborn epoch
#

i need to buy pants for formal situations, what pants technology should i go for

storm osprey
#

how formal

#

i always liked dockers slacks

#

they have a good fit for me

#

the slim straight ones

red ingot
#

pants technology

#

i literally bought all my pants from Costco

#

$20

unborn epoch
#

like wedding or christmas party type formal

#

work christmas party i mean

#

more like adinner, actually

red ingot
#

no like dress pants

storm osprey
#

i always look for the docker slacks

red ingot
#

i bought lots of dress pants from Costco

#

i mean for me it's either jeans or dress pants

unborn epoch
#

we call em pantalon here

#

is that even used in english

red ingot
#

in french

#

pantalon

storm osprey
#

in spanish its pantalones

#

but english is just pants

#

if they are fancy, its dress pants

unborn epoch
#

i got a swag ass shirt with a dope camo texture

#

it's very subtle

#

that way I can go to a party unnoticed.

storm osprey
#

swag ass and camo

#

idk if those words mix

unborn epoch
#

it's all black

#

it is 100% swag i promise

red ingot
#

all black and camo

#

unborn epoch
#

ya fuck

#

what is that phone skin company called again

#

linus always promotes it

storm osprey
#

phone skin company?

unborn epoch
#

dbrand

storm osprey
#

no idea what youre talking about

#

i always skip the ads in ltt videos

red ingot
#

and now a word from our sponsors

unborn epoch
#

haha

#

i can't fucken find a direct link

#

google dbrand camo

#

it looks like that but more subtle

#

also it feels nice so boys n galls will want to touch me i think

storm osprey
#

lol wtf nick

red ingot
#

I think he needs to rub one out

#

Before he makes and purchase decisions

unborn epoch
#

again?

red ingot
#

Yes

unborn epoch
#

you guys don't know shit b ro

#

i rock timbs, you aint

red ingot
#

unborn epoch
#

#

you only said to not limit my swag

#

i rubbed one out btw, back to shopping @ hottopic

red ingot
#

Okkk

#

U make better purchase decisions now

#

You're welcome

solemn tusk
#

Wow, a bit too much information there Nick, but uh, you do you I guess.

unborn epoch
#

i did!

storm osprey
#

literally

#

he even got mod approval

unborn epoch
red ingot
#

Viskadel for mod of the year

sour ivy

solemn tusk
#

I've been thinking about it, I actually ended up playing in a couple matches with you and Nethrex a couple days ago Yagman.

#

Oh and "LoliJuices"

#

Very interesting squadmate that one

red ingot
#

Omfg

#

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

storm osprey
#

i mean, that name is telling enough

red ingot
#

Yeah

#

Well you blended in well then

#

"Interesting" is probably as tame as a term u can use for lolijuices

storm osprey
#

nick and majic are above me in rank

unborn epoch
#

helllll yyeeaaahhh

#

i want a phone that looks sort of like the iphone 4 model (with a metal flat bezel and non curved screen) but with a screen like the iphone x or samsung s10 or whatever phone has a near bezel less design these days

#

so i can get a proper bumper for it

#

i think that would work very well

latent light
#

fucking dude on fb marketplace wants to trade his i5-8600K and Z370 motherboard for a PS4 Pro

#

sometimes you can't fix stupid

red ingot
#

Lol

#

And nick my s9 is pretty sexy

unborn epoch
#

ya definitely

#

well, if all your friends are on console, i can understand

#

if you grew up with a pc, you'll just find new friends

red ingot
#

All my friends are on console but I'm still on PC FeelsDefenceMan

unborn epoch
#

my colleagues are all console turds

#

i don't bother with them when it comes to games

red ingot
#

I just make new friends now

#

I dont need my old friends

opaque crest
#

Hey everyone, would anyone be able to help me out?

#

Also xbox one platform question

storm osprey
#

we arent very good with console stuff

#

all we know is reformat

rose eagle
#

can of air

storm osprey
#

who wastes money on can of air anymore?

rose eagle
#

my wife is a can of air

#

quick scroll it off the screen!!!!!!

#

edsgfdfdfg

rose eagle
#

i use my shop vac in reverse

storm osprey
#

so you suck in messes, and spit them out into your computer

rose eagle
#

thatll blow anything up in 5 secs, i can have a blow up doll orgy ready in minutes

#

yea i like to suction out the toilet after a bad diarrhea and then eject it into the PC as fertilizer fuel

storm osprey
#

@opaque crest youre friends issue, check wifi settings and modem/router stuff

#

sometimes nat type is not correct

#

its been a while since i used wireless but i think ideal nat type was nat type 2

#

anything else usually caused problems

#

if thats not the problem see if there are firmware updates for you modem/router

red ingot
#

Lawl

#

But what, do you not use compressed air nyphon?

storm osprey
#

i use what i linked

red ingot
#

Afaik the electric ones are no good cause static electricity

#

No issues with static?

rose eagle
#

static charged air?

storm osprey
#

i really dont see how static can travel through air

#

and the xpower is a plastic construction

red ingot
#

Yeah idk I've been told the electric ones u can have static issues

storm osprey
#

so for static to go through the motor at the base, through the shell and out the nozzle and have static seems pretty odd to me

red ingot
#

True

#

I've just erred on the side of safety

storm osprey
#

just my logic process on the scenario

red ingot
#

Expensive can of air still cheaper than new pc

storm osprey
#

with that said, i have used that blower for my pc roughly 20 times

red ingot
#

But yeah skimmed the reviews and everyone's saying no issues

storm osprey
#

and friends have used it as well

red ingot
#

So I might consider it

storm osprey
#

no problems on our end

red ingot
#

I also saw that someone got carried away and spent 3h dusting their whole house

storm osprey
#

yea...

#

thats true

red ingot
#

That comment alone made me want to buy it

storm osprey
#

i cleaned my car as well

red ingot
#

There's so much dust in my house that I'd want to blow away

#

Oh and in my car too

#

But my can of air would run out so fast

storm osprey
#

yep

red ingot
#

But if I had an electric one...

#

Hm

storm osprey
#

youll definitely do a day of cleaning with the xpower when you can

red ingot
#

Great well another purchase I gotta add to the list

#

Panda what's the status on your motherboard

#

@rose eagle

rose eagle
#

USPS so who the fk knows

#

wasnt on the normal mail route

mental hatch
#

You cant call your pc clean unless your doing a tech yes cleaning

#

that man cleans

rose eagle
#

this, is clean

mental hatch
#

Something like that

rose eagle
#

that was my old case last month

#

10 years of hard work collecting dust

mental hatch
#

Was just gonna say define old LUL

rose eagle
#

i mean.. i had it since 2000 when i just retired it

#

im not sure if i ever cleaned that fan intake

#

prob not, so it could be 18 year old dust

red ingot
#

Good lord

#

I dont think the fan was even functional at that point

rose eagle
#

i mean the fan spun.. as to how much air got sucked through.. .063%? ๐Ÿ˜„

#

so i had basically 0 intakes on my PC for years

red ingot
#

Lol

rose eagle
#

and the temps were fine

#

no one needs airflow

#

all a farce

red ingot
#

Really tho

#

If I turn my fans up to max speed

#

From min speed

#

My pc gets 1c coolee

#

Cooler

rose eagle
#

i think the airflow was just due to negative pressure sucking it from the big vents in the front of the case ๐Ÿ˜„

red ingot
#

Aka fucking nothing

rose eagle
#

why you need intakes?! PFFF

red ingot
#

Really

rose eagle
#

just negative pressure SUCK that air in

red ingot
#

Honestly if I unplugged my intake fan

#

I'd probably see no dif

rose eagle
#

i mean it is a vacuum

#

you just gotta get that air out

red ingot
#

True

#

Or just intake only pepe

#

I wonder what would happen other than the obvious high temps

rose eagle
#

i wouldnt say obvious

red ingot
#

Hm

#

Test for science panda

mental hatch
#

Dont need airflow if you just sit your pc in the snow wesmart

red ingot
#

@red ingot What if you do some of the programming for me though? ๐Ÿค”

Then I will be done sooner

red ingot

Sure

U might fail though

dreamy tinsel

lol LUL

red ingot
#

I've only ever done html java python

dreamy tinsel
#

lol

unborn epoch
#

html is the hardest of them all

red ingot
#

And from what I remember u said u were doing C

dreamy tinsel
#

If you know those 3 you should be able to do C

red ingot
#

Never done a line of C in my life

dreamy tinsel
#

They are all similar tho

red ingot
#

Plus I've written code in them before, doesn't mean it was good ๐Ÿ˜‚

dreamy tinsel

red ingot

My programming skills are like a solid C-

Mine is an F for effort Kappa

I have played around with Arduino long ago too

๐Ÿ˜‚

dreamy tinsel
#

So Nick, you want to help me with my program?

unborn epoch
#

no

dreamy tinsel
#

Rude

unborn epoch
#

i probably can't even help you

dreamy tinsel

double rude;

unborn epoch
#

are you stuck or something

or just looking for someone to write code

prime jasper

HTML
Programming

#

Pick one

dreamy tinsel
#

Little bit of both ๐Ÿ˜
It is a bit complicated

prime jasper
#

And 200 lines? That can mean a ton depending on the language

dreamy tinsel
#

200 lines is not a lot normally speaking I know. But this shizzle badizzle is taking me soooo long

#

it is in C

Not able to find a good 2080ti on the market

red ingot

get a 1080ti

storm osprey
#

define good

formal ridge
#

The ones I want are all sold out ;-;

storm osprey
#

ah

red ingot
#

it's the world telling u to get a 1080ti

storm osprey
#

msi, gigabyte, asus, and evga are the brands i trust

#

for gpu

#

fuck msi mb's

formal ridge
#

Whatโ€™s your experience with ZOTAC?

storm osprey
#

no experience

red ingot
#

i have a msi mobo running fine rn

storm osprey
#

always seemed like a 2nd rate gpu brand

red ingot
storm osprey
#

but i hear they arent bad

red ingot
#

i always thought gigabyte was 2nd rate too...

formal ridge
#

^

storm osprey
#

they border imo

formal ridge
#

Same

red ingot
#

asus/msi/evga all sold out?

storm osprey
#

if they are second rate, and the zotac is second rate, i would definitely recommend a gigabyte over zotac

formal ridge

The only EVGA card I can find on the market is the ultra gaming one

I wanted the FTW3

#

Or the trio from msi

storm osprey
#

look into asus

#

i havent used asus gpus at all

formal ridge
#

LOL amazon wants 2Gs for the trio

storm osprey
#

they are usually the most expensive

formal ridge
#

Fuck odd amazon

#

Nothing is in stock anywhere ;-;

#

Just the RTXs nobody wants

storm osprey
#

odd considering they are apparently catching fire

gaunt dragon
#

It's the holidays, what you expect

formal ridge
#

I expect my god damn card

gaunt dragon
#

the closer it gets to december 25th, the lower and lower stock things are gonna be

prime jasper
#

I wanted to upgrade from a 1070ti to a 1080ti, but can't now..

#

Fucking RTX being a flop & causing cards in general to be expensive as fuck again..

storm osprey
#

thats not a worthwhile upgrade imo

#

unless youre selling you 1070ti at a good price

formal ridge
#

Iโ€™ll be selling my 1080 for $200

#

Fair price IMO

prime jasper
storm osprey
#

200 for a 1080

#

jesus thats a good deal

#

you could sell me a blower style 1080 for that price

formal ridge
#

People are selling them for 250 to 300 around my area

#

Used

storm osprey
#

the cheapest one was new was 400

#

so 300 is a good price

#

250 is very good

#

200 is damn good

gaunt dragon
#

It seems the 1070ti to the 1080 TI is currently double the price

#

for a 25% increase

formal ridge
#

Yeah man

gaunt dragon
#

doesn't sound like a good investment to me

formal ridge
#

They discontinued the card

#

So people are going to price gouged the hell out of you

#

Supply and demand

rugged summit
#

I got a 980 ti im using

latent light
#

@storm osprey I'd buy a blower style 1080 for $300 tbh lol

#

would just undervolt it and put new paste on it

storm osprey
#

seriously

latent light
#

blower style cooling is a good concept

storm osprey
#

why cant they do a dual fan blower?

latent light
#

xbox one x uses it and manages ~60C in a tiny form factor case

storm osprey
#

does xboxonex use a dedicatedgpu?

latent light
#

it's APU

storm osprey
#

so thats a bit different

latent light
#

has 40 compute units which makes it more powerful than a RX 580 lol

#

rx 580 has 36 compute units

#

it has 12GB of ram that is shared between system and the graphics

#

gets more complicated with the type of ram they use

#

it's as fast as GDDR5 but uses those same modules for the rest of the system too which is weird

#

the ram helps with the hard drive speed

#

it uses a 5400 rpm hard drive but the ram somehow speeds up loading times in games as fast as a SSD

#

strange for a system to utilize ram for hard drive bandwidth

#

another thing, the xbox one x uses vapor cooling

#

it's a 5mm thick copper chamber with liquid in it

#

and the blower fan sits next to it

storm osprey
#

interesteing

#

i want to open one up now

latent light
#

it's a very simple console to take apart

#

easier than even pc builds tbh

#

there is only 2 screws on the back that you remove

#

take them out and you can take off all of the plastic exterior lol

storm osprey
#

ps4pro is a pain in the ass

#

the clips are tough

#

you SWEAR you are going to break it

latent light
#

xbox one x has rails that you slide out

#

and it's semi-modular

#

meaning once you take it apart, you can swap out the harddrive

red ingot
#

So it's essentially a PC

latent light
#

kind of lol

red ingot
#

With xbox software

#

๐Ÿค”

latent light
#

i wonder what would happen if you remove the disc drive for room to add another hard drive or maybe a fan

#

has to be a 2.5" drive

formal ridge
#

That Ultra gaming card by EVGA ainโ€™t that bad

latent light
#

there might be some compromise

#

xbox one x has a 112mm blower fan

#

You can reinstall the OS using CMD with admin privileges, you will need to download OSU1 from Microsoft and youโ€™ll need Xboxhddmaster to format the drive with the correct sized partitions relative to your hard drive size. An SSD is pointless to put in a Xbox One, X or S because a 1TB SSD that's actually decent cost the same as the Xbox its self and the Console canโ€™t use the full bandwidth the SSD can output so yes a HDD or SHDD is the best option same goes for the PS4.

red ingot
#

so they allow u to remove it and change it out, but they make it uber difficult to actually format it

quasi sparrow
#

you can snag a 1TB SSD at good prices now tho

storm osprey

they said they will increase the recoil for the KE7 so it can be hard to master @primal hill

next gen AMD server CPUs will have 256 MB of L3 cache...

no one cares about server cpus

i care about edible ram

But the server CPUs are literally called EPYC

#

Okay, this is Epyc.

rose eagle
#

lol ok somethin is fooked with my benching..

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

fixing my ram to 3000 from 2166 helped x_x

latent light
rose eagle
#

and making sure my GPU was clocked right, swear..tweaks tweaks

#

121fps vs 112 so far

#

$100 per FPS sounds about right ๐Ÿ˜„

#

ill be analyzing low fps more later

latent light
#

1% and 0.1% lows are more important to fix than the average fps

rose eagle
#

Yeah the 1% was broken to hell in my last test

#

I don't think it's right

#

Tons of frames registered exactly 30

#

I'm using fraps + frafs

red ingot
#

Wait what

#

No difference in frames

#

What

#

@rose eagle

#

Re test

#

Fix yo shit

#

Well dm me your fixed results if u can

#

I'm heading off to bed soon

rose eagle
#

@red ingot not sure I'll see amazing results tbh

#

I mean I bet it's fixing some bad 100% usage but I never really slowed down in V

#

I really needed to have per map tons of data

#

I'll see what Rotterdam multiplayer does

That map eats my shit

#

As it stands I mean I wasn't expecting the world

lofty light
#

Narvik is the worst for frames

rose eagle
#

Cpu tech has gone nowhere in 6 years lol

#

If you can OC your CPU to 4.3 or so it's close to a 9700k

#

But yeah I'll try to figure out min fps

lofty light
#

All CPUs have done is factory OC and add cores

rose eagle
#

It may

#

Just be the engine

#

Ram speed made a HUGE diff

#

Like 25 fps was missing because my board defaulted my ram to 2166 instead of 3000

red ingot
#

Well as in for better 1% and .1%

#

And holy shit 25fps is a LOT

#

My RAM is at 1600 rn...

#

I'll maybe try and see tomorrow if I can OC it a bit more

#

But damn even getting on a ddr4 board then might just help

rose eagle
#

I think the ram speed was just holding back the CPU

#

Not sure a 3770k on faster ram would do anything

red ingot
#

:/

#

Well still, imo a 25fps increase is pretty significant

#

But I guess I'll wait for those benchmarks woahtea

rose eagle
#

I mean that's from bad settings

#

So far I've only seen 9

#

Increase in high

#

Avg rather

red ingot
#

๐Ÿค”

#

I'll still wait on those benchmarks

#

Dont ruin my optimism

#

For me its the 1%/.1% that matter the most

#

If I can run a steady 100fps I'm happy

#

Problem is I get dips down to like 30 :/

latent light
#

Ram speed doesnt affect intel cpus a lot

red ingot

I have 4 side mouse buttons and I can use them all. I have them bound to prone, heal gadget 1 and 2.

Try using your mouse software to rebind the mouse buttons to a keyboard stroke, then try and bind in game.

Yea you can do 4ghz ez on that

Now an 8 core would be a different story

Also seems pretty dumb to have to do the mouse rebinding thing considering f2p games like smite don't require things like that

turbid dove

Theyโ€™re pretty different, but Iโ€™ve been going back and forth on either a 1060 6g or the rx580 8g. The 1060 seems to perform better, but will 2g extra make any difference?

I'd go the 1060 just because more stuff works on NVIDIA atm

Hey I'm having some issue's with my mouse not appearing in Battlefield 4 at all, I've tried restarting Origin's and also repairing the game and none of that worked.

gaunt dragon
#

Check overlay's, an overlay might be eating your mouse.

#

@rich sinew

#

Along with, try exiting full screen with alt+enter and re-entering it.

#

Overlay's are funky, sometimes.

rich sinew
#

If i have BF4 open, and go to desktop, my mouse can go under the game.

#

If i click almost anywhere in desktop, It goes back in game.

gaunt dragon
#

I mean, on the second part, is that an issue?

#

My fullscreen games do that anyway.

#

So is the issue that you can't use your windows mouse in bfv for selecting things? or you just don't have a cursor period in bfv

rich sinew
#

Alrighty, mouse is working now with Alt+Enter. Don't know why i didn't try that before. XD

gaunt dragon
#

Dunno. Glad I could help, kind stranger.

#

I haven't even started the game before, and I'm out here helping troubleshoot

#

10/10.

rich sinew
#

(โ˜ž๏พŸโˆ€๏พŸ)โ˜ž

#

I've been really enjoying BF4 lately, I see why people like it better than the newer one's now

gaunt dragon
#

BF4? Ehh, too slow for me, personally.

#

BF3 hit that sweet spot for me, and I thought BFV would be some more fast-paced gameplay, since I've heard it's the fastest yet, but y'know...not being able to even boot the damned game.

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

rich sinew
#

I like them all really. But I like the weapons in Battlefield 4

#

oof

gaunt dragon
#

I mean, I enjoy them all as well, but as with most games that come out yearly/semi-yearly, some of them get some things amazing, and some get others

#

if you want vehicles, you most certainly don't play an older bf

rich sinew
#

Now i'm having a crash

gaunt dragon
#

if you want good gunplay, play older bf's

#

yeah? any crash logs?

rich sinew
#

joining a BF2 & BF3 map server

#

Is there a way to look up the crash log?

gaunt dragon
#

Uhhh. Let me check. Probably not, knowing EA.

#

I don't see any form of a reaccuring crash log, so no, there's no crash log.

#

Your only crash log is gonna be in Windows Event Viewer.

#

Take the error message that spits at you, and give that a google.

#

Windows Event Viewer > Application > Red !!! image, it will say BFV.exe somewhere at the bottom.

rich sinew
#

I see an Application Error

gaunt dragon
#

Yeah, duh, BFV is an application. At the bottom there will be a specific crash number, the most common one is 1000.

rich sinew
#

yup, Event ID: 1000

gaunt dragon
#

Thought so.

#

P. much the only thing I found when I googled that, since that's the same crash I have

#

Is that it's related to blocked access.

#

Something somewhere somehow is blocking BFV access to something

#

check all AV's, firewalls, etc.

rich sinew
#

hmmmm

#

My first guess is firewall.

gaunt dragon
#

Yeah, most likely.

#

Windows Defender has a habit of being dumb, at random times.

#

Make sure that's off.

#

And if it did crash, because of an antivirus, it probably also jacked whatever filed it blocked BFV access too.

#

And you'll need to repair, as a result.

rich sinew
#

There are 8 Battlefield 4 selection's.
