technology

[red ingot]

odd

i just feel like if i had something going on in the background it would affect fps

i know back in the day when animated wallpapers were a thing on phones (for the first time) that it would lag your phone and reduce battery life

idk how it is nowadays but i figure its a similar thing on pc

[storm osprey]

i mean, an old phone vs a modern gaming pc

im sure theres a difference, but its gotta be negligible

[red ingot]

Yeah

But even 1fps

Not worth

[storm osprey]

lol

[red ingot]

That 1 frame might've been life or death

[storm osprey]

eh, once i upgrade ill be fine

[red ingot]

When u upgrading

[storm osprey]

still holding out for zen 2

even if i dont get amd it should drop intel prices

[red ingot]

Meh

Intel prices never drop

[storm osprey]

we shall seeee

[red ingot]

Just get a 9700k

Like panda and I

[storm osprey]

tempting

[red ingot]

do it

[storm osprey]

i mean, if i do it wont be until i see what amd offers

[red ingot]

😦

[raw haven]

Building a new rig now

Pretty excite

[red ingot]

noice

my cpu/motherboard should be here any day now

😄

im literally losing it

purolator sucks at updating their tracking

[storm osprey]

@raw haven what you getting?

[vernal spire]

Yes

Nick is back

[raw haven]

9700k / 2080 evga / 32g of 3200mhz G.Skill / asrock taichi ultimate mobo @storm osprey

[storm osprey]

jesus

[raw haven]

Lol

Will be complete by end of dec

[sonic plume]

anybody playing BFV on a 1070?

[raw haven]

40s and 50s

I'm plying on a 970 now

[storm osprey]

fractal design meshify c, and 860 evo

[crude flint]

1080 here, dx12 and ffr off

[sonic plume]

how's your fps? I wanted to compare

[crude flint]

120-180 fps, usually hovers at 150

[storm osprey]

1080p?

[sonic plume]

Does dx12 show improvement?

[raw haven]

40 or 50 sometimes drops in the 30s I'm playing on 1440 UltraWide tho

[sonic plume]

yikes

Do you guys use future frame rendering?

[crude flint]

1080p yeah

[sonic plume]

I know it will increase performance but I don't want input lag

[crude flint]

dx12 and ffr OFF has input lag improvement, but i think there might be stutters

you need FFR ON if DX11

[sonic plume]

what is FFR?

[crude flint]

FFR OFF IF DX12

[sonic plume]

oh Im dumb

my bad

[storm osprey]

i am dx11 and ffr off

no mi gusta input lag

[sonic plume]

same

but me gusta lots of frames

[crude flint]

FFR off - did they fix that on dx11?

FFR off dropped my fps 30 on dx11

[storm osprey]

errr idk lol

i havent been monitoring my frames

[crude flint]

Thats the thing - they kinda fucked ffr

if dx11 you HAVE to have ffr ON unless you lose about 30 fps

But less input lag

[storm osprey]

ill check when i get home

[crude flint]

So, dx12 and FFR off works well, but dx12 might be introducing other stuttters

Its a weird state its in right now

[storm osprey]

i know atm i get roughly 90 fps

[sonic plume]

I get anywhere from high 70s-150 but I'd like if it was always around 144 or above because I have a 144Hz monitor

[crude flint]

I have a 240hz mon and things get weird when it drops to 90 fps

but the refresh rate makes up for it usually

[sonic plume]

with dx11 and FFR off

[storm osprey]

1080, 4790, 16gb, 1440p dx 11, ffr off, low everything but textures, around 90 fps

[crude flint]

Try mesh on high/ultra

texture filtering can be medium too to put more on gpu

not sure tho

[sonic plume]

Yeah I run everything low/off and mesh on high

[crude flint]

Nice, same

[storm osprey]

doesnt mesh just increase view distance of everything but player models?

[crude flint]

Sometimes I feel i get a smoother experience at medium tex/medium filtering

but definitely more fps with low

mesh for gameplay, if thats still a thing

[sonic plume]

if you increase texture/filtering it won't increase fps right, just make it smoother?

[crude flint]

it'll load it up more on the GPU

which should... give a smoother experience

compared to low, which sometimes has CPU AA

not exactly sure

[storm osprey]

hmm, so its not for visiblity its for loading gpu

[crude flint]

PUBG you need AA on ultra otherwise it dumps it all on your cpu and you get lagg

mesh is more for gameplay / visibility

[storm osprey]

i mean, visibility it just load further objects

which is anti visibility

as long as player models are rendered the same no matter the settings

[sonic plume]

I have an i7-7700k with an msi gaming x 1070 so I shouldn't be getting throttled. I run everything low/off except mesh on high with ffr off and dx11. I just want 144+ consistent frames 😦

[red ingot]

ohhhhhhh my cpu is in the next city

woooot

should come by tomorrow hopefully

now just have to wait for my motherboard 😡

[storm osprey]

its gonna do that thing where it gets to your city

then takes an additional day to ship to your house

[red ingot]

fuuu

my ram got in my city and shipped to my house same day

😄

just need mobo and cpu Dx

should've ordered the motherboard off newegg too... ordered off amazon and was supposed to ship by yesterday, and never did. so i said fuck it and ordered off newegg as well

cancelled amazon

lost $45, but i also get a bo4 code from newegg. so i think i can sell that for at least $45 and make up the difference. just have to deal with that hassle now

[mental hatch]

Im willing to bet money it comes DOA

[rose eagle]

the one taking forever was probably going to be a pos refurb or one dug up from the abyss

[storm osprey]

rockin hd6xx at work now

[red ingot]

probably

it was from amazon from a third party seller

so meh

probably good that i cancelled it

delayed and from third party = shady

[storm osprey]

i never buy third party from amazon

[red ingot]

yeah was from OneDealOutlet Canada

i mean they have a good rating but meh

[prime jasper]

i wish third party pages had a different color or scheme

cause sometimes im too lazy to look to the right

[red ingot]

i mean i knew it was third party

but it was cheaper

[prime jasper]

i like third party if it's amazon guaranteed

[red ingot]

and i mean like, its supposed to be the same product at the end of the day

[prime jasper]

that way you know it's easy to return

[red ingot]

how do u know if it's amazon guaranteed?

[prime jasper]

it says fulfillment

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07659Z1QM/ref=emc_b_5_t these people out here making 1080p hdr monitors

[red ingot]

i know that it had free prime shipping

[prime jasper]

i thought monitor manufacturers moved on to 1440p and 4k

[red ingot]

1080p still the norm afaik

heck i just upgraded from 1080p to 1440p like 2 weeks ago

[prime jasper]

i might get that 1080p hdr monitor

to see how it looks

[red ingot]

just to see how it looks

lol

[prime jasper]

yeah

why not

it's like a days worth of work to pay for it

[storm osprey]

yea 1080p is still the standard

[prime jasper]

1080p just gonna look shit on a 4k panel anyhow

i cant stand looking at 720p fullscreen on a 1080p panel

and i got a 4690k

shit is not gonna play well at 1440p or 4k

[red ingot]

my 4770k did alright at 1440p

pretty much same perf as 1080p

[prime jasper]

that's a way better performing than the 4690k tho

[red ingot]

really?

[prime jasper]

it's gonna be easier for me to be cheap and make my system last longer by sticking to 1080p and downgrading to 60hz

[red ingot]

ew

60hz

[prime jasper]

i'd have hdr tho

and nice colors

it would look nice

[red ingot]

i have nice colors

😦

ips 144hz

😄

[prime jasper]

nice

is it a good ips panel

[red ingot]

i hope so

[prime jasper]

cause VA can beat it now

[red ingot]

rip

[prime jasper]

with better response times

VA panel technology is gonna be the future

[red ingot]

meh

this bad boy is lasting me at least 5 years

most likely 10

[prime jasper]

just like TN was inferior at first and became standard after crt died

[red ingot]

i thought tn was always inferior?

i had a tn 144hz

color reproduction was iffy

[prime jasper]

they had other competitors in the early days

some weird crt skinny technology

forgot the name of it

it died cause tn was cheaper

[red ingot]

well im essentially not upgrading this thing until 4k 144hz is feasible

which i doubt will happen before 10 years

[prime jasper]

yeah, i usually make my shit last a long time too

[red ingot]

i mean i was happy with 1080p for the longest time

yeah

but now im just going upgrade mode

cause fuck it

[unborn epoch]

4k 144hz will be a thing in 2 generations

[red ingot]

okay at a reasonable price

im not buying a $4k graphics card to run that shit

[storm osprey]

yea colors on my tn monitor are good, theres better sure, but this is fine

[red ingot]

oh no my tn colors were definitely fine, just not excellent

honestly idc that much

but meh why not have better :3

had that thing for like 7 years i think

[unborn epoch]

noob

[storm osprey]

idc about colors when im cracking skulls

[red ingot]

and i got it for like $150

[unborn epoch]

put some kale in your car, go 88mph and get a RTX 9999 for $30

[red ingot]

lol

probably won't be compatible with any modern tech tho

[unborn epoch]

get a 4$ nanobridgehitlermods to pci-e adapter

[red ingot]

hitlermods

what

[unborn epoch]

you clearly don';t understand technology

[red ingot]

clearly i dont

[unborn epoch]

also you aren't allowed to use codeblocks, pls ban

[red ingot]

!ban @red ingot

[prime jasper]

what

WHAT

[red ingot]

that Yam Man kid just got banned

rip

[unborn epoch]

good, he smells like poop

[prime jasper]

he was an imposter

[red ingot]

[prime jasper]

microsoft edge is weird

it just doesnt work for some websites

[red ingot]

chrome ftw

[prime jasper]

actually, i think it's my PC

waterfox doesnt work with some sites either

[red ingot]

something seems off

[prime jasper]

i mean, nothing of value was lost. twitch and reddit wont load

but i dont need those sites anyhow

[red ingot]

reddit = nothing of value

scuse me

twitch i agree

[prime jasper]

site is trash

it's just a left wing 4chan

[red ingot]

lol

[prime jasper]

but they think they are smarter

[red ingot]

meh

i mean i just lurk

discord is better, i dont wanna have a conversation over the span of 3 days on reddit

or just make smug comments

[prime jasper]

i cant read the comments or most of the front page of reddit. i gotta go to gaming subreddits and find posts that are linking to actual interesting content

[red ingot]

tbh i usually just surf r/askreddit

just for all the stupid stories

maybe r/news r/worldnews if im feeling risque

no nick

whatever you're about to say, the answer is no

[unborn epoch]

there are only a few good subreddits

one that is probably not to be named here and /r/pathofexile

[red ingot]

would you say that that unamed subreddit is wild?

[unborn epoch]

it doesn't have wild in its name no

[red ingot]

damn

im curious now

[prime jasper]

i cant stand the news section of reddit

it's biased

i listen to fucking npr which is supposedly some liberal hivemind and they dont do the shit i see advertised on reddit

[red ingot]

it is

[prime jasper]

go on reddit and it is like TRUMP IS DONE! GOING TO JAIL

dont hear that on NPR

[red ingot]

i read it for the controversial opinions

i like seeing the other side once in a while

try and see what kind of thought process is behind people that support stupid shit

how they rationalize it

[prime jasper]

i dont. i dont like the political discourse in the country. i rather people were able to compromise and be pragmatic again

[solemn vector]

no but BBC is better

British Corping Castration

[unborn epoch]

lol gay

[red ingot]

:pepe:

[prime jasper]

BBC should change their name for the modern era

[red ingot]

isn't BBC big black [redacted]?

[red ingot]

we'll see

[craggy dagger]

is there a vid explaining different screen modes? (extanded, stretched,etc...)?

[storm osprey]

a guy went 103-0 in a ju88 the other day...

[hazy glen]

BOI the JU88 is why my kd is 5000000000

[prime jasper]

what do you mean orim

like for resolution scaling?

[craggy dagger]

dual screens

[prime jasper]

oh

people still do eyefinity?

[craggy dagger]

eyefinity...?

[prime jasper]

i just got transported back to the 2000s

[craggy dagger]

u wot m8

[prime jasper]

are you playing with dualscreens. like the picture of the game on both?

[craggy dagger]

lmao nope

dual screens are basicly two screens.

[prime jasper]

oh lmao. i thought you were doing that triple monitor eyefinity thing

[craggy dagger]

OMG WHY

[prime jasper]

people use to do it

[craggy dagger]

I wanna throw up

jk

[red ingot]

lol

[prime jasper]

ultrawide is superior

eyefinity was weird as fuck

big ass bezel in the way

so extended allows you to have an extra space for stuff

the taste sticks into your mouth 5 second after you drink it

[prime jasper]

diet sprite is weak tech

[red ingot]

dummy

[craggy dagger]

my school only has diet drinks

diet cola, diet fanta, diet sprite

[red ingot]

oh damn

yeah i had that shit back in highschool

rip

cause aspartame better than sugar right?

cancer > sugar? school logic

[craggy dagger]

lol they use that sugar i dont remember its name

[red ingot]

oh but that orange juice right next to it with a buttload of sugar is fine

splenda

ew

same shit

[unborn epoch]

just drink wowda man

wowda

[craggy dagger]

eoowoaDA?

[red ingot]

studies have shown that body treats sweeteners same way as sugars

[storm osprey]

lol wtf

[red ingot]

also sweeteners may also cause cancer

[storm osprey]

i go get lunch and come back to this new nickname

[craggy dagger]

@storm osprey havent you heard of wowda?

[craggy dagger]

its a drink

[storm osprey]

what kind of drink

[rose eagle]

even on my new PC my stupid ass monitors are fighting, sometimes i click an IE tab and it drops it over on my main screen

[storm osprey]

IE?!

did you just say IE?!

[unborn epoch]

this goy lul

[rose eagle]

i said it but only because i dont call things what they are

like the internet browser is just called IE if im not specifying a browser

or sometimes i call tables lamps, shrug

my wife just goes on, i finally got her to stop correcting me since it's futile

if im super stressed out at work etc my brain goes into just fk all mode

[red ingot]

Lol

[rose eagle]

stress kills kids

[storm osprey]

ok so youre not actually using IE?

[rose eagle]

hell no

[red ingot]

Or desperate save so u dont have to explain why you're using ie

And what what

What the fuck is your name @storm osprey

[storm osprey]

[rose eagle]

duh

[red ingot]

Wow

[rose eagle]

you cant read that?

[red ingot]

I guess I dont speak the l33t 13317 s3@k

[storm osprey]

dont forget to smash that subscribe button

[red ingot]

No I can now

At first glance it just looked like a jumble

[storm osprey]

is this better

[red ingot]

No

Worse

Pls remove

Kthx

[storm osprey]

you got it

[red ingot]

Dammit

Even worse

Rip

[prime jasper]

there is too many good monitors these days

can they stop making good stuff

makes buying a harder decision

[rose eagle]

well sure when you go into 4k land and nothing is good

[cerulean cipher]

i once got an ultrawide and got dead pixels after 2 days

so the next time i get one will be a while lmao

i got a dual monitor setup instead

just 1080p monitors tho nothing super special

[storm osprey]

dell s2716dg

1440p 144hz gsync gaming at 27"

its TN

but imo a good picture

once calibrated

[prime jasper]

https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-EX3203R-FreeSync2-Brightness-Intelligence/dp/B07DPVRZXG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1536088087&sr=1-2&keywords=benq+EX3203R&linkCode=sl1&tag=techoftomo-20&linkId=3f084d3130646d12f0cfbe189a8a60ec&language=en_US yeah, but this is 32 inch, freesync 2, 144hz

1440p

screw it. imma keep my old monitor. there is too many fucking options

when i bought my monitor it was pretty much this or a benq monitor

and asus was cheaper in NA

that was literally the choices you had back then

outside CRT

or those old 120hz samsung lcds

[storm osprey]

do you have amd or nvidia?

[prime jasper]

nvidia, but i'd buy a vega card for freesync

[storm osprey]

if youre trying to rock 144hz 1440p i would assume nvidia

ehhh

[prime jasper]

im just gonna keep my asus monitor. there is too many choices for monitors now. makes you feel you'd make a wrong choice

[storm osprey]

idk, im just not comfortable knowing atm thats amds best offering, and its roughly the same as a 1080

[prime jasper]

vega 64 and 56 are priced reasonably

they aren't terrible

[storm osprey]

no

[prime jasper]

just overlooked

[storm osprey]

but atm, thats the limit

so if you for some reason want better or need better, you gotta crossfire it

and thats.. just not worth it

[prime jasper]

dual gpus are never worth it in modern age

[storm osprey]

exactly

at least with nvidia you got options to go higher

[prime jasper]

not like back when you could sli 8800 gtxs and have a fucking ridiculous rig

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXGWW55/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B06XXGWW55&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=21517efd-b385-405b-a405-9a37af61b5b4&pd_rd_wg=QEpsJ&pf_rd_r=NBFQDKREZAGJX8TPB7Q7&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_w=ifD6P&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pd_rd_r=695ed55a-f81e-11e8-ac2a-8523bde031e3 this the most important piece of tech i need now

[storm osprey]

i just wouldnt feel comfortable getting into 1440p gaming atm with AMD

but they said they are going to release new gpus soon

lol

i just got sleeves for my desk and im gonna get a mounting bracket

attach it to the underside of my desk

[prime jasper]

i just need to clean up the clutter

[storm osprey]

get the undermount thing

[prime jasper]

gonna put pc in corner with my back to it. so it's gonna be like a triangle shape

so i can see the door

[glad stratus]

how much do we have to pay to unlock the update coming out tomorrow? #diceplease

[storm osprey]

what?

[latent light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCdsTBsH-rI

AMD is going to be very good next year

[cerulean cipher]

u gotta hook ur pc up to ur veins

[sour ivy]

@glad stratus how is this tech and wtf are you talking about

[prime jasper]

amd navi

lisa is my tech waifu

[latent light]

there's been rumors going around for months that Navi will offer Vega 64/GTX 1080 (non-Ti) performance for $300

[prime jasper]

they bringing back the duron line?

i had one of those in 2009

played cs at a nice 90fps

[latent light]

lol

[prime jasper]

couldnt even get 101fps

had a gt 6200 or something too

that was a terrible rig

[rose eagle]

i mean, 2700x is 8c16c and gets destroyed by 8c8t CPU for gaming so we'll have to see if 12c/24t can compete 😄

[latent light]

more than 8 cores becomes pointless for modern gaming

maybe 10+ cores will be good in 5 years

[unborn epoch]

depends

if unity/unreal engine supports it by default it'll be great

[cerulean cipher]

i really enjoy ur display pic nick

for some reason

[unborn epoch]

thanks friend

[cerulean cipher]

is it a selfie

[unborn epoch]

[prime jasper]

damn my cpu cant hit 50c with this h100i at 1.1GHz overclock

1.350

[livid lily]

hey there. is an ryzen 5 1600, 1060 3gb + 8gb ram enough for BFV at 1080p and running stable at 60 fps? I mean i dont need any frame drops bellow 60.

i play conquest mostly. My old i5 3570 is asking for some vacation in this game 😂 . I get 60 fps at the low preset but a lot of frame drops at intense situations

[latent light]

just overclocked my gpu memory and got artifacts

oof

[cerulean cipher]

turn off dx1é @livid lily

dx 12

[steep gust]

@livid lily Maybe

[livid lily]

🤔

[steep gust]

It should be

But who knows with BFV

[prime jasper]

@livid lily yes

[latent light]

@livid lily medium/high settings will do fine

[near agate]

friend is having an issue where nvidia doesn't seem to be using the gpu in his laptop

I had a similar issue and resolved it by updating the driver and setting the control panel to the gpu, but that doesn't seem to work

anyone had a similar issue?

[pallid silo]

i see people playing at 1440p 144hz with there GTX 1070 SLI and i play at 1080p 144hz and with BF5 only 70 percent of gpu gets used and 30 percent of GPU 2 gets used..... do you think my i7 6700 is getting bottlenecked by the 1080p? as i know SLI 1070 is really powerful lol coz on the 1440p videos people are getting 99 percent gpu usage on both cards what should i do guys? 😃

[desert bear]

Guys, What is mGpu??

[lofty light]

Mobile graphics processing unit

A laptop variant of a gpu

[desert bear]

So it is not advisable to activate it on an Asus G752vs with 1070?

[unborn epoch]

Activate what

[desert bear]

Dx12 in BFV.

[unborn epoch]

Just try

It's hard to tell

Check fps, see how it feels

@prime jasper

[livid lily]

tnx for the opinion @latent light @prime jasper

[rose eagle]

welp Rocket League is screwed on my new rig, just massive 5fps slowdowns randomly

https://snag.gy/RMpKFI.jpg

[latent light]

[oblique chasm]

Are the servers down for anyone else?

[wanton kraken]

Hey I have a gtx 1080 8gb and a i7 6700 3.4GHz with 12 gb of RAM would I be able to play bfv on high setting at a good fps?

[prime jasper]

Sure @wanton kraken

[slate ivy]

I have a 7700k/1080 with 16GB of ram and i can play on ultra with 80-90fps on 1440p so i odnt see why not

[atomic atlas]

but is it overclocked

that is the question of the day

[slate ivy]

nope, stock speed

[slim sandal]

Hopefully

Ouch

[atomic atlas]

good man

Overclocking is bad

[slate ivy]

i have cooling issues because of my tiny case 😄

[slim sandal]

No it isn't

[atomic atlas]

Rocking a 7700 with 32gb of ram and a 1080ti inside a cougar panzer max

[slate ivy]

i hope my upgrade will arrive soon, i got myself a sweet 9700k/2080TI/32GB RAM in a fractal r6

[atomic atlas]

yummy 2080ti

How much was that where you reside?

they are $2.4k aud

its crazy

[slate ivy]

the entire setup? so i basically got everything new besides drives and 16GB if ram and all of that wsa arround 2400€

[atomic atlas]

we need rgb air

[slate ivy]

i literally only have 1 rgb part in my current pc

and that was not even intentional but it was the only model from my perfered gpu manufacturer

so i just turned it off

[atomic atlas]

My whole build has rgb in it

Everything has rgb in it now

you can not buy something without some form of rgb, it just increase the price

No thank you

[fossil dune]

so i just installed this new update my games just opens then close straight away

[latent light]

My RX 580 consumes only 130 watts at load according to HWMonitor and GPU-Z

[prime jasper]

Game won't launch, neither in Origin in administrator mode.

Anti-virus is Sophos Home

[lofty light]

Try doing an Origin repair on it

Had some mates who's download was dodge

[toxic mica]

nv new update gives my pc the blue screen

😭

Classic move

[craggy dagger]

are the new drivers ok|?

[lofty light]

Are for me

[craggy dagger]

yes

416.94

[graceful pond]

So I'm looking for a graphic card to absolutely smash 1080p on high to ultra settings without going above £200 if possible. If anyone has any suggestions please please @ me and let me know if anything. Thank you kindly :)

[red ingot]

Not happening for that budget

[lofty light]

What's your CPU? You're gonna want something great for BFV for that

[mental hatch]

@graceful pond best bet is an rx 580 8gb

[lofty light]

Eh, depends on the market

[mental hatch]

But that thing will typically only get u a 60fps average on 1080p ultra

[red ingot]

Doubt that'll be under 200 euros

[lofty light]

1060 is pretty darn cheap atm as they're well overstocked

[red ingot]

But it won't smash 1080p at high/ultra settings

[lofty light]

I mean, if "smash" means 30 fps then sure

[mental hatch]

Eu market must be different then since I can get an rx 580 8gb for 180 usd right now

[unborn epoch]

Does deluxe version give you bigger bulge ingame?

[lofty light]

Na just IRL on the EA execs

[graceful pond]

Sorry for the lack on information, I have a Ryzen 1600x with 16GB or RAM at around 2600 speed (can't remember exactly how fast) and I'm looking for a GPU to play games at 1080p 144hz with enough power to get 60+ FPS on high settings. My budget is £200 but it might go up to £300 in the future.

[mental hatch]

I think best bet is to save up and then get a used 1070 if its possible for you

[lofty light]

Yeah 144Hz on 1080p you're looking at least at a 1070 or 1070Ti

[graceful pond]

I had in mind to get a brand new 1070ti but I don't think I'll have enough money for it after New year's and my current GPU r9 380x is really weak

[lofty light]

Used should work, there's a few on the market still from the mining bust

[graceful pond]

I'd rather save up for a new one, but thanks for the recommendation

[unborn epoch]

380x should give you 100+ fps on low right

[graceful pond]

No

[unborn epoch]

My friends 280 does

Wtf

[graceful pond]

It's anywhere from 60-100on low but it also depends on the map

[unborn epoch]

I see

Maybe he was lying

[graceful pond]

I'm pretty sure my GPU is on its way out

It has moments where everything including audio stutters for a brief moment then gets back to normal

[red ingot]

1080ti

[onyx granite]

i found i got better fps allowing Geforce Experience to optimize the game instead of manually setting it to high settings and it looks better (some settings are ultra).

[unborn epoch]

1080ti is only good if you play path of exile

[red ingot]

No one plays PIE

Poe

Ffs

[unborn epoch]

Majic and I do

Only cute boys play poe

[onyx granite]

poe update this friday!

[unborn epoch]

Yeeees

FaroBoon gets it

[red ingot]

Gey

[mental hatch]

Wait @graceful pond for the audio cuts is your cpu overclocked

[graceful pond]

No its stock @mental hatch

But my game will stutter heavily and just slow down and same with the audio but after 10seconds it recovers

[unborn epoch]

That sounds like a non bf issue to me

[mental hatch]

Ah ok some mobos have audio cuts when you overclock a ryzen cpu on ea games

[lofty light]

You running it on an SSD?

[unborn epoch]

Something is messing up

[graceful pond]

It happens across all of games so its not just a BF issue

And no @lofty light If you mean running bf on an SSD then no. Only my OS in on that

[mint pendant]

My game keeps crashing after the latest patch. (PC)

[red ingot]

rip

[graceful pond]

it happens on most games I play but it seems to be the more intensive ones like GTA 5 and BF1, BFV but other lighter games don't seem to trigger that stutter thing

[mint pendant]

I love it when patches break games even further.

[lofty light]

@graceful pond sounds like a CPU issue then, as they all use that a lot

[graceful pond]

@lofty light I wasn't the one to put this PC together. I bought all of the parts and paid someone reliable to put it together. So I'm not sure if it is a CPU issue.

[red ingot]

probably cpu/gpu issue

bfv is super cpu/gpu intensive

[craggy dagger]

NEED HELP FAST

[red ingot]

wat

[craggy dagger]

When im putting 100% motion blur (pls dont be mad, i hate screen tearing) it doesnt save and goes back to 50%

why?

[red ingot]

dunno

[craggy dagger]

btw everything went to ultra after the update lol

[red ingot]

😄

plus i dont think 100% motion blur will help screen tearing

just cap your fps

[craggy dagger]

yep, my settings dont save for some reason

dice pls

lemme try doing it out of game

maybe they changed how motion blur looks?

should gpu memory restriction be on or off?

[red ingot]

depends how much vram u got

how much u got

[craggy dagger]

16GB

[lofty light]

Motion blur changes every time you change quality settings

Whoa what card you got

[red ingot]

16gb doesnt round right m8

[craggy dagger]

its not good?

[red ingot]

Vram not system ram

[craggy dagger]

oh

[lofty light]

16 GB would be your RAM not VRAM

[craggy dagger]

WHATS VRAM THEN

[red ingot]

dedicated video memory

[craggy dagger]

memoryt?

[unborn epoch]

memory on your graphics card

[craggy dagger]

ive heard of memory not memoryt

[red ingot]

typo sir

[craggy dagger]

anyways, where can i see my memoryt

[red ingot]

u know what i mean

pls dont troll when we're trying to help

[unborn epoch]

what videocard do you have orim

[lofty light]

@craggy dagger what card you got

[craggy dagger]

and yes, im gonna laugh about that for the rest of your life

jk

[red ingot]

[craggy dagger]

gtx 1060 6gb

[unborn epoch]

well there you go

[red ingot]

der u go

6gb

-.-

[unborn epoch]

you have 6gb video memory

[lofty light]

Keep it on

[craggy dagger]

OHHHHHHH

[red ingot]

yeah

6gb isn't a heck of a lot

[craggy dagger]

TOP 10 ANIME 7000 IQ MOMENTS

[red ingot]

good day sir

[unborn epoch]

niiiice

[craggy dagger]

wait dont leave me im sorry 😦

[red ingot]

too late

[lofty light]

I had my PC using all 8GB of my VRAM when playing

So keep the restriction on

[craggy dagger]

so should it be on or off

[red ingot]

too late to apologize 🎵

[craggy dagger]

k

[red ingot]

keep it on

video memory restriction on

[craggy dagger]

what about motion blur

[red ingot]

personal preference

[craggy dagger]

its on 100% but doesnt look like it

[unborn epoch]

just play on everything low

except for mesh and terrain quality i think

[red ingot]

1060 barely runs bfv

so play low

[craggy dagger]

@red ingot barely? it runs it ok lol

i put it on medium

[red ingot]

what fps

[tawny hemlock]

hello everyone, im downloading the battlefield update now and i only have around 600 KB/SEC

[sour ivy]

Untrue

High 60 fps

[red ingot]

servers are probably overloaded rn

[craggy dagger]

@tawny hemlock had it too, its a problem

[red ingot]

im downloading at 1.5mbs

and i usually download at like 60-70

[sour ivy]

Unless we talkin bout 3gb 1060

[red ingot]

so yeah ea servers are fucked rn

[tawny hemlock]

i usualy download 10GB in under 15 minutes, i only have spotify on

[red ingot]

yeah my dl rate is literally 50x slower than usual

[craggy dagger]

@red ingot remember when i told you about having all ultra when the update came?

[red ingot]

no

[craggy dagger]

they performance was same

[red ingot]

i have bad memory

[craggy dagger]

oh look up

i typed it

[red ingot]

no

[craggy dagger]

yes

[red ingot]

im not scrolling that far

[craggy dagger]

y u med?

[tawny hemlock]

so there's no way to fix the download rate for now?

[red ingot]

nope

its EA side

just sit tight

[tawny hemlock]

im too hyped for the new stuff and wouldn't like to wait 3 hours for 3 Gb to download :P

[red ingot]

rip

[unborn epoch]

how bicc is this patch anyway

[red ingot]

17gb

[unborn epoch]

the total game or the patch?

[red ingot]

im so tired rn

patch is 17gb

[unborn epoch]

wtf bruh

[red ingot]

lol total game isn't only 17gb

[tawny hemlock]

it says 7 out of 10 gb for me

[unborn epoch]

im preparing 17gb atm

[red ingot]

yeah

that's what i had too

i guess only 10gb dls

odd

[unborn epoch]

maybe thereh ave been other patches i've missed

[red ingot]

either that or its super compressed

[unborn epoch]

why does preparing take so long duh hek

[red ingot]

ask dice

[unborn epoch]

i haven't downloaded anything yet though

i started origin a few minutes ago

is my ssd DEAD?!

[red ingot]

reformat

its okay snuggles

[unborn epoch]

yeah that happens to every word I type on my phone

[red ingot]

we're here for u

[unborn epoch]

very annoying

[red ingot]

we're here for both of you

❤

[lofty light]

@unborn epoch preparing takes ages on it

[red ingot]

snuggles if u were smart you would've started the dl before u left for work

[unborn epoch]

it's dice's way of showing us the console experience

[red ingot]

lol

[unborn epoch]

its downloadiiiinnnnggg

1 minute remaining

[red ingot]

😄

[unborn epoch]

ffs dice, fix your shit

at 80% my dl tanks from 110MB/s to 200KB/s

fuck off, shit company

well, it's EA that's shit actually.

[onyx granite]

EA is grEAt

[rose eagle]

im mad, i started my coffee and the dl is only at 90% as i finished

[untold geode]

1v1 me in fortnite christans oonly XD

cim jk

*im

[rose eagle]

no one knows what that means

[untold geode]

ooof maybe you don't

[rose eagle]

no one plays Fortnite in here

[untold geode]

i do

i play every game

im i tech

oof

[rose eagle]

I misspoke, the only people who are important which is Nick, myself, and Yag don't play Forstnite 😄

Nick if you have ever played Fortnite you're dead to me

2 games that will never make it onto my PC for as long as I live... 1. Fortnite, 2. Minecraft

has anyone ever used this RAMMap app?

it shows you what is in memory

[unborn epoch]

nah, never played fortnite

[rose eagle]

im having major random problems with my new PC

[unborn epoch]

i did try minecraft back when it was in alpha

[rose eagle]

V runs flawless so i guess thats all that matters in life eh

nah i moved past it, i cant hear it while playing

[unborn epoch]

did you get bsod?

[rose eagle]

no i uninstalled all audio devices in device manager, wiped back to original drivers and let it reinstall

no more errors in Reliability Monitor

[unborn epoch]

aight that's an improvement

[rose eagle]

but now i have major 5fps stutters for 3s randomly while playing Rocket League

yea its like that but in private matches

but that's the type of hitch but it's for a long time

and i get the disconnected icon

aw is snowing

[unborn epoch]

snowing = comfy mode

[rose eagle]

in the icon.. not here

it might snow this weekend though

[red ingot]

Ohh I see it

[rose eagle]

my eyes catch all changes 😉

i saw it flicker while typing

SQUIRREL! snipes it

https://snag.gy/xwjUdY.jpg this is confusing

why does it show 7.6/15.9 but memory usage top right says 15.9

my PC has always ran flawlessly ive never had to actually analyze ram usage once in my life

[red ingot]

i think 15.9gb is the total actually usable amount

cause like 80mb or whatever is "hardware reserved"

w.e. the fuck that means

and yeah i saw it right away lol

the xmas change

[unborn epoch]

damn my COCK

my COOOOCK

[red ingot]

wat

o.O

i got excited

im all ears

[unborn epoch]

if rumors are correct, amd is coming with gpu performing like 2070

[red ingot]

what about your cock

[unborn epoch]

for $250

[red ingot]

yay

[unborn epoch]

pls shit on nivida., pls

also their new ryzen chips look bonkers

very excited to see

[red ingot]

i love competition

[unborn epoch]

ryzen3 zen2 chips iwll come with 6core12threads mininum

[red ingot]

noice

[unborn epoch]

hopefully intel will shit their pants so hard and put their development/budget in ogredrive

finally, FINALLY

[rose eagle]

will those cores be worth a shit or like 2700x? 😉

[red ingot]

i just want my damn parts to be out for delivery already

estimated delivery date is today for both of them

[unborn epoch]

i dont know, we'll have to see how the IPC is compared to previous generations and intel

i wont be buying any of it but it's good to see amd is giving it their very best

[red ingot]

yeah

[rose eagle]

even if they come out Q2 it won't be stable enough for purchase til Q4 so we will see if it gets Intel to get something going

[unborn epoch]

ya

[rose eagle]

i mean im not pioneering anything from AMD ever.. lol

Just severely underperforms in lots of games compared to 8700k 😛

[unborn epoch]

Ryzen 9 3850X 16/32 for $500

5.1ghz boostclock, luls

exciting, exciting.

[rose eagle]

what determines how many cores a game will use?

someone tried to tell me my RL problems are because I'm on 8c

[red ingot]

[unborn epoch]

i dunno about socket snutten

[red ingot]

yay

get a 9700k snutten

[unborn epoch]

lul no

2700x is fine

[red ingot]

shh

he can join panda and i

[rose eagle]

fine if you want to be cpu bottlenecked!

[red ingot]

WHY IS MY CPU AND MOTHERBOARD NOT OUT FOR DELIVERY YET

[unborn epoch]

you are simply not worthy to wield a 9700k

[rose eagle]

is not a bottleneck if you play 4k res

there's that silver lining

[red ingot]

im literally gonna lose it

[rose eagle]

https://www.techspot.com/review/1754-battlefield-5-cpu-multiplayer-bench/#commentsOffset this makes literally zero sense

all the AMD cpu's are stacked up under the intel, someone was paid to post this

[red ingot]

wat do u mean

[rose eagle]

and it tries to claim 8600k gets relatively same FPS as 9900k

[red ingot]

like intel shills

[rose eagle]

maybe there was a patch since this that put all cores into play

[unborn epoch]

when does intel fix their ht vulnerabilities pls

[red ingot]

I just disabled protection

For fps

[rose eagle]

@plain vessel id like to know your CPU usage during V and what GPU

[red ingot]

[rose eagle]

back in Nov at some point people were only getting 50% cpu usage on 2700x

and while people "think" that's good like oh man my cpu is so awesome only 50%.. that's actually very bad

it should cook your whole CPU

V is a slut

[red ingot]

Yeah

V is a dirty slut

:pepe:

What

[rose eagle]

Wut

[red ingot]

What

[prime jasper]

in Battlefield 5 I would live to see the King tiger Heavy tank in play or the panther medium tank

Or perhaps the M4A3 HVSS Sherman in from the film Fury

I thought this was the channel for talking about world war war tech @plain vessel

[rose eagle]

ok why did my PC work fine prior but now new update it wont clear standby memory

im now in that group of people with this windows 10 problem

i had 15mb free ram, 9gb was in "standby"

[unborn epoch]

what update

1809?

[storm osprey]

yoooo you guys hear about the new amd gpus

[rose eagle]

y

[unborn epoch]

yas

they sound very promising

and hopefully they are as good as they look now, time for nvidia to step up their game

[storm osprey]

if thats true amd just killed the mid range

mid to hi as well

[unborn epoch]

pretty much

[storm osprey]

2070 performance for 300 bucks?1

[rose eagle]

i mean most people are probably locked into a gsync or freesync monitor

so that wont affect as many people as you think

[storm osprey]

i dont think that many

[rose eagle]

ill never buy an AMD gpu, it would cost too much to get rid of vsync

gsync

[storm osprey]

have a sync monitor

[unborn epoch]

tbh, nvidia should just enable freesync in their drivers

it's dumb as hell

[rose eagle]

it's more complicated than that

pretty sure it's also at the hardware connection?

[unborn epoch]

not at all, the cards can do it

[storm osprey]

isnt one software and one is hardware?

[rose eagle]

i didnt think you could support gsync and freesync through same input

[unborn epoch]

the monitor needs to support it

but all nvidia cards can technically do freesync

well, i dont know about all, but all recent ones

nvidia just makes bux on their monitor chips

[rose eagle]

wait, people will get better at the game if they had money? disappointing 😉

[storm osprey]

do you guys think amd will really achieve those leaks?

[red ingot]

ill be mad if they enable freesync on nvidia cards

i just bought a g sync monitor

😦

[unborn epoch]

you shouldn't, it still works

but it's a step that needs to happen

[red ingot]

i knopw

but then i wasted money

😦

[unborn epoch]

not at all, it wont be for a long time before it happens

[red ingot]

yay

[unborn epoch]

just like majic 'wasted' money on a 2070 if the rx 3080 performs the same

[red ingot]

lol

[rose eagle]

wow windows is very misleading.. so.. i was stuck at 7.0/15.9 usage forever

[red ingot]

get outta here with your logic

[rose eagle]

but that wasn't true.. 8gb was stuck in "standby"

[storm osprey]

i hope they keep the childish 1 up naming convention

[rose eagle]

so this makes more sense why my ram usage kept showing exactly 7.0 usage

[unborn epoch]

windows uses 10/31.9GB

ya im flexing, stop hating

[red ingot]

im hating

[unborn epoch]

i want card manufacturers to finally just beat coilwhine

[storm osprey]

im not, i dont need that much ram

the msi cards i have had hardly had coilwhine

all my evga cards do though

[red ingot]

It's not a matter of whether u need it or not

It's doing it cause u can

64gb

[unborn epoch]

i need it cuz i never close chrome tabs

[rose eagle]

hmm yea i never hear anything on my EVGA 2070 but the 2070 is possibly a lot quieter than 1080Ti etc

[red ingot]

Monster

[unborn epoch]

ya 1080ti screams when im in menus

[rose eagle]

my system is so quiet i get annoyed hearing my AIO pump ticking

[unborn epoch]

a lot less when im ingame

[storm osprey]

i have 3 tabs open on chrome, tops

[unborn epoch]

but evne in menus i only have 164fps

[red ingot]

only

[unborn epoch]

it's just a matter of using better parts, ffs.

[red ingot]

Imagine 20 years from now

oh wow you're only doing 144fps

[unborn epoch]

in 20 years we'll probably have 500hz panels

[red ingot]

Yep

500fps will be the new 144

[storm osprey]

its crazy to think the progression in these 20 years, but in the future, idk if the changes will be noticeable

[red ingot]

144 will be the new 60

[storm osprey]

you ever see that thing about polygon counts, and that we are at the point of diminishing returns

[red ingot]

Get out of here with your logic

[unborn epoch]

actually polygon count still can get a lot higher

especially in the distance

[storm osprey]

it can

BUT

[unborn epoch]

popins are stilla thing

[storm osprey]

its not noticable

[unborn epoch]

if you are talking about max LOD models you are right

but models further away still have lower LOD

and those popins are noticeable

graphics have huge jumps to make still, pathtracing, physics simulations etc

[rose eagle]

i only have 8 working days left of this year, hahahaha

[storm osprey]
