uh no
malware isnt destructive
they spy on you
malware is to be as unnoticeable as possible
Because I know what is being downloaded and go through services, etc enough for benchmarks
I'd notice if something was running
it doesnt require you to download
yeah sure you would
uh no its called being smart
Run uBlock Origin and use some basic logic with websites
If you are getting malware then you are visiting the wrong shit
malware today can run and mine resources from your computer without being detected, no detection in task manager, resource usage minimal along with less tracing and stealth mode
yeah, malware is really amazing today
and no i dont give a fuck about your browser extensions
blah blah blah i dont need an antivirus
even fucking US diplomats and workers get infected and they do things by protocol set by experts
malware is sophisticated
So is fear mongering
you probably have monero miners running right now on your pc and you cant notice lol
do you realise how easy large networks get infected today?
Uh yeah large networks mean plenty of different ways to infect?
with your IP, which can be traced over games and services someone can access your computer
a virus can access it
One idiot clicking on an email and the best anti virus is worthless
people have infected legit programs that deliver programs and updates. it's bound to happen to steam, origin, uplay, or battle.net one day.
people infected linux isos before
you never know when a legit place gets compromised till it is too late
ccleaner got infected one time during an update
people updated and got infected
you think youre some wizard genius
it's not just websites
wow you just never fucking learn
it's also autoupdates
do you?
you're gonna get pwned so bad one day
I have got fear mongering and no sources
You have to download something and the biggest source of downloads is websites
no you dont

the biggest source of your downloads now is autoupdates from your TRUSTED applications
lol
you dont need to download it
Oh and I might as well get rid of any CPU with hyper threading because of PortSmash
and then any modern CPU because of meltdown
and then any other CPU because of spectre
well im fucking done with you
yeah, so use a fucking antivirus lol
Software fixes are only so good
i dont know whats your way of thinking
it's this new age of techies that think they are too smart for hackers that are 100x times smarter than them @vernal spire
it's the /g/ generation
I don't know why you think fear mongering with no sources makes me listen to you
fear mongering
Yeah you are going "You have to get an antivirus or you will get infected"
Its not factual
what programming languages do you know?
we're informing you malware isnt just from downloading and installing from a fucking browser
AMD is affected by Spectre and can only be exploited if someone has physical access to the PC. AMD isn't affected by meltdown in any ways unlike Intel.

Ad hominem @vernal spire
you can get infected with AV software, but at least AV software will detect it later on when the vulnerability is discovered.
PortSmash isn't exclusive to Intel
While its proven to work on Intel CPUs, AMD hasn't been ruled out and are at risk
it's your PC tho. you can be that guy that bangs easy chicks with no condoms too
@steep gust i see you are fucking level 100 programmer
guys, this guy is serious
he knows his shit
dont attack him
im sure he could fuck all of us up
yeah. it's like talking to a gay man from the 1980s that isnt aware of the aids pandemic and is having a lot of casual hookups
Unfortunately, in regards to AMD processors, it is also vulnerable, like Intel, to Spectra 2. It's only Ryzen 2 that they've started to make a true hardware fix to it.

Plenty of inherent issues with modern CPUs are bound to be found
The big thing is that Intel and AMD most likely know about a large portion of them and ignore it
we have hackerman here wasting my fucking time thinking he is too smart for a antivirus, im really done with all this. Dont ever come to #technology again if you need help, because you are stopping us from fucking helping you
source to fucking what?
That I need an antivirus and not just Defender? That malware can be downloaded just by having a computer connected to a network? Etc
All the shit you claimed
im not wasting my time here anymore, get this conversation out of #technology if you are too smart for a antivirus
I just use Malwarebytes
just let him get pwned
guy apparently works all day monitoring his PC like he works for a giant tech company
saying you use defender and that you are too smart for a virus shows me enough about your experience with PCs. Very nice indeed
Pretty much
I do a lot of benchmarking and so every percent of performance is nice
Windows Defenders was shit in past Windows
Now its good enough
windows defender is shit now
While not the best, its generally enough
The best antivirus is never connecting to a network
Can't get infected then
i got infected for the first time in fucking years when i installed windows 10 and i visit major big websites
Works if you know what you press on the internett
and i use all the extensions and crap
installed a real antivirus and i have no issues
if your computer slows down because of a simple antivirus that sometimes is even free, i get it man. windows defender fits you ok
That real antivirus also does a good job at slowing down your computer
i mean your benchmarks are important at all
slow down to what? .01% of performance hit? lol
i literally notice no difference in performance
i'd like to see even a 1% performance hit in your benchmarks
if you seriously think that a antivirus slows down your PC, you are using a bootleg version of fucking norton from pirate bay
or your PC was made in 2003 and youre using windows xp with 2GB of DDR2 RAM
like, have you seen the system requirements for a modern antivirus?
is your computer under the minimum requirements or what?
lol
like, have you seen the lack of malware I'm downloaded without an antivirus?
Alright asshat, what antivirus do you want me to download to prove to you that I'm not infected
do you think AV software still works by just matching stuff up from a database too?
download bitdefender
no dont download anything
yeah, dont download it
you are too smart for it
we want you to stay infected
good thing you decided to respond, might as well mute me again because im really not wasting too much of my time here
If you want muted then why don't you just leave 
yeah maybe ban me, that helps. Im starting to realise why this server isnt important at all
and why people left
just loaded up bitdefender. guess what event happen yesterday
blocked phising attempt and it was from a legit major website
No one is at fault first but the conversation was going in endless cycle and nothing improved so I intervened. And there is no need to start insulting each other.
This is why we can't have nice things
ok
and yeah, my god Bit Defender really is over protective, i love it
Americans Santa Meme with a beard? Also. Any Python Users here?
Uhh its the WOAH FACE, with a shitty beard, a glass of beer, American Flag overlay and a christmas hat
Or as i call it, WoahFreedomHat
WoahFestiveFreedomHats
A lot of people already showed me why i should leave this. Why Not just Ban me when im asking for it, either way im going from the server and im gonna be happy
I mean Blek has a point, mostly if you ignore the bullshit that followed.
An Anti Virus really won't affect performance that much while running in the background, unless a system scan starts or MAYBE if it gets triggered by something.
Unless its a old as fuck pc/laptop
i think this is just the time i that i make the decision, am i going to continue wasting my time on here or am i going to leave this finally and just stop with all this, im never really active on here, this has no point
yeah you know what, thats it. ive had enough
goodbye everyone
I mean, don't let others get you down, but if you truly feel leaving is the best decision, i'm not going to stop you.
Goodbye Blek
https://i.imgur.com/dTxMFQi.png dice/ea really fucked the BFV
@prime jasper i think people already starting complain and spread this over the every possibvle fb group lookin for solution. some refuses to agree the issue is global and only for old hw relation but now i gotta overthink
Most of the time, i never see people state what resolution they are running as well as resolution scale.
it's global overall for all the intel/nvidia system usrs
i think theyre around 1080p-1440p 144hz
it doesnt matter on the reso tbh
let me find ya a proof
Like a i7 6700k and a 1070 OC runs it 90 FPS uncapped at 140% resolution at 1080p
As soon as i scale up the resolution scale to 145% it dies
But granted, game could still use a lot more optimization.
Its not your hardware, its the game.
(Unless by chance, it actually is your hardware)
Not that scaling, the in-game resolution scale
read comments
this guy with i7 6700 and 1070 suffers from the same crap
i cant find a fix for myself. so removed the game and origin from my pc.
That's a bit extreme
yep
and people called me out fool on fb-requested ban on group as i started playing victim etc
but they refuse to agree or accept other people's complaints about perf leak
they simply state" you possible installed os wrong and set up bios so the game runs like shit" but during convos with ppl having these issues-you realise thats the only tittles they face such problems
That's just plain bullshit
well they refuse to believe or agree theres problems with game
Thank god i deleted Facebook ages ago
not hardware
wwell and this spreads in "PCMR" GROUP
they think its only shit for oldest hw
but as more i inspect groups i find out BFV is unoptimized pile of crap for everything. no offence but it is.
oof
@prime jasper well the fix you shown me-doesnt work
i asked a friend with 1070 and i5 2400 tr it-didnt work
what's happenin here
between my 4th gen i5 and 2400 is about 5to 15% lower perf. so she shoulda be fine, but not. same crap.
hm
@red ingot ehh some ranty shits about unoptimisations of latest EA/Dice BF games.
lol
i can agree with u on that
i just upgraded my 4770k to a 9700k just to run bfv
๐ฆ
rip $$
i7 4790k to 8700k may be max of 20% perf upgrade but in reality in terms of gaming perf its about 50%
4790k to 7700k/8600k thats about 3to 15%
it just reduced my stutter a lot really
before my gpu was throttled to roughly 50% usage
now it goes right to 100%
so means im no longer cpu bottlenecked
which makes me glad
but as more i research this problem i rea,ise i dont want to play BF series anymore
i have problems with GTAV also when cops pursuits-high cpu usagespikes and unrendered textures
but thats due to GTAV vram leaks. other games justrunnin fine, BF4/3 bc2 fine
overwatch bloody well-stable 100fps with like zero dips obs on at 1080p 100% scaling in epic settings.
well anyways, goodnigte ๐
phew, comp upgrade about done, sheesh fitting the water loop into my case was more difficult than expected and the windows reset to install drivers was not fun either :D
overclock to 6GHz
@red ingot Hamada dx12 FFR set to 1 in console plz kthx
Post an lighting low
120fps 1% time or bust
Soon
you opened a rocket league ticket
For the good of all humans someone needs to understand how a game can lose knowledge it has focus
ye?
Yea
144fps alt tabbed, 10 focused = good fkin luck
I tried full screen and real time priority, nothing makes it take CPU
alt tabbed means the GPU isn't having to render
still the rocket league issue?
hmm? some new patch for dx12 again?
gnh, had to reset windows and that cleaned my ssd where bfv was installed, cant test
maybe tomorrow then
if you use RTX or RX 400/500, DX12 is supposedly better
DX12 also utilizes more cores
DX12 is suppose to be on the GPU not on CPU 
shadow of the tombraider, all low , 95-98% gpu, 40-50% cpu ๐ค
120-130fps 3840x1080
older CPUs such as the AMD FX series or 1st and 2nd gen Intel CPUs will see better performance with DX12
look at this for example
the average fps is way higher for older CPUs but there is more dips
maybe optimization issue?
very strange
well could test bfv single player already, pretty steady 144fps 3840x1080
and cpu usage wont even go above 40% on all low, dx11, ffr
you got one of those Samsung 49" double wide monitors?
@steep gust my findings are dx12 on my 9700k 2070 FFR off is same perf as dx11 but min fps is much higher
I'm very satisfied with dx12 in V
yes, practically 2x 27" fhd
I wonder how taxing a 1440p version of it would be
less, it has less pixels than 2xfhd
oh right
it can
Would anyone be interested in the settings I used to get BFV to run at 60+fps@1680x1050 mostly Ultra on a 970 and a stock 2600k?
I have a feeling my 1070 results would be less interesting lmao
there are some ultrawides for 1440p, but not double
but I kinda like this water cooled 9900k+2080 combo, maybe add watercooled 2080ti to the mix some day
i stopped playing cs in 2003
battlefield is amazing with ultrawide
yeah, esp playing a recon, you have much more screen space and because you can see outside the scope
you get more field of view without adjusting the field of view lol
i dont need more fov to pwn
bfv is funny adjusting the fov though, it somehow calculates it based on the horizontal fov
or dunno, I use the slider at 65 at the moment
yeah most likely there will be, linus tech tips did the video about 3x3 fhd setup
they had 4 quadros I think
there probably is single monitors with that resolution already but they aren't in production yet because there is no GPU that supports it
well gpus do support resolutions, but I would like to get that sort of resolution with large screen area, and then could play windowed, if they get the rendering working better in windowed mode
and then just integrate that with some custom "fullscreen snapping" windowmode
I'm thinking that next year Nvidia will release RTX 2100 series which will be a refresh with much better Ray-Tracing performance
and little bit better efficiency
im thinking that they will see what amd cards will do, and then play their cards accordingly to either match amd or just wait till they have to show their hand
Nvidia and AMD have to change their architectures in the next fews years if they want to achieve colossal performance gains
they are at 14nm now, and there is a chance that anything smaller than 7nm is going to be a hard feat
i might go back to school so i can do engineering jobs
the shit i do is too easy
work is boring and menial
it's basically like working a retail job with way higher pay
hell, in the near-future, dedicated graphics cards may become outdated
sounds good to me
APUs are getting significantly better
that would be nice
I hope the Ryzen 5 3600G APU is right about having Navi 20 iGPU
Building this pc reminded me again why do I hate this stuff, small cuts here and there, multiple curses when pieces dont fit and have to play tetris
buy higher quality cases
I have artic R4
i get cut by sharp steel at work everyday
building a pc i dont get cut like that anymore
get one of those 4 feet tall cases lmao
would need more real estate to fit custom loop nicely for sure
the thermaltake glass one :D?
Thermaltake Tower 900 lmao
2018 and we still install PCIE cards diagonally to motherboard
or whats the word for 90 degree angle
too many windows
right angle
i dont like windows in my cases
orthogonally?
makes it look like youre a fuccboi
perpendicular?
i want those cases with vertical GPU mounts and the open space on the sides
I want mobo+ gpu+cpu where I can just slide the thing in and fasten with thumbscrews
apple use to make their mac pros like that @sonic osprey
no power, no cables, just goddamn plug and play
I got a Apple PowerMac G4 case from 2000, it's so easy to open
like these cases where they have ssd slots with prewireing, just plug the wires to mobo and slide the ssd in
there is a simple button on the side
hotswappable bays were really popular before
they moved away from that now
just like removable motherboard trays
remember that feature
i dunno why they axed that
You can still do hotswappable drives on any recent motherboard
and removable motherboard trays were removed since it isn't that useful
I take my motherboard out
it's much easier to install a mobo with a removable tray
but really it is not that useful, people stuff their shit in the case and forget it until its time to blow dust/upgrade some parts
what is inside AIOs anyhow? oil?
i never researched it
at work we use oil for cooling
condensation occurs whenever temperatures are too cool
Water
just sink the entire rig in mineral oil
and condensation occurs when something is below ambient temps
mineral oil builds are cool, sucks whenever you're trying to clean off the oil though
dew point
If ambient is 0C (aka outside in the winter) then condensation isn't a issue
@sonic osprey the other day my front headphone jack was not working right, spent a solid 20 minutes finding out what plug was for the front IO
youre trying to say dew point betrayed
I didn't care to label anytbing and just stuffed all cables behind the cable management shield thing lol
@fiery smelt yeah, I spent too many minutes today figuring out the connectors, yet again
i just stuff my cables at anywhere also
that is why i dont like cases
i dont want to cable manage that much
You should see my SSDs
it does nothing
You realize the motherboard header (and most likely cable) has audio written on it?
They're just dangling in there lol
you can just sticky tape ssds
I have my case still open, and my old harddrives in the bay, moving files to new ssds and then getting rid of these old hdds
Just connect em and hide them somewhere ot whatever
gonna leave one for storage
all SSD future would be nice
@steep gust it didn't tho
1tb m.2 + 500gb standard ssd + 3g hdd storage
HDD will still be used for a while because reliability
Maybe it did, idk
those new 16TB Seagate drives are wicked
4TB HDD like $100
10minutes and can test bfv fps in multiplayer ๐ค
I got a 1TB WD blue HDD and a 500GB 970 evo M.2 SSD
drives with that capacity are supposed to be more reliable than typical drives
common HDDs can last 10+ years pretty easy
yeah, and you dont really have them on heavy use
Also that 16TB drive isn't out yet
its for storage, in a raid
BFV is raping my computer
Its built for datacenters
you think a 16TB drive will be faster than a 1TB drive?
so you have like 2-4 16TB drives in raid setup, so if one dies, then you have 3 copies left
I5-7500 and RX 480
skarz
how much ram you have and is it single channel or dual channel
dual channel ram will see a lot higher performance than single channel
8GB
8GB will definitely see drops in 64 player modes
HDD
no ssd at all?
Nah
SSD would only improve loading times lol
I get 60fps consistently
depends if the game needs to use ssd/hdd for swapping because no memory available
60 fps consistently isn't raping your pc lol
Thereโs just a lot of loading times and sometimes the game crashes
gonna go test this bad boy on multiplayer now 
putting the game on a SSD would help with loading times
for crashes, can't do much about that
what bad boy you got there mr trump hat guy
I get pretty frequent stutters with a gtx 1060 and i5 6600k, on low settings
I think itโs my gpu because last time it crashed my monitor went in to power save mode for like 5 seconds
Idk about this game's optimisation tbh
9900k, 2080, 16gb 3600mhz
Look at mr moneypants over here
skarz what psu do you have
damn thats a beast rig
if your power supply is under 500 watts, it's not good for the RX 480
is it odd to have 3 sticks of ram?
i know that 3 sticks is still dual channel
and 4 sticks is too
unless you have a X399 or a Skylake-X motherboard
then you can have quad channel
130-144fps, cpu seems to stay about 50-60%usage, gpu 80-90%, all low
i like medium for graphics and performance
@latent light everything low except fot mesh quality
Yeah it is
put the settings 1 step higher like textures and shadows
should take some stress off cpu
I haven't overclocked it either atm, because it was instabke at 4.4 and reverted back at some point and couldn't be bothered to do it
@latent light putting the video settings higher won't tske any load off of the cpu though
Just extra load on gpu
I played overwatch on a i5-4690K overclocked to 5.25GHz and playing at low settings caused my cpu to run at 90-100%
but medium put it down by 20-30%
it's because the CPU is doing most of the work
When you lower settings the bottleneck shifts from the graphics card to the CPU, when you raise settings the main bottleneck becomes the graphics card.
i got no idea what is going on with this animu radio station right now. they playing smash brothers music
4690k will never become outdated I feel like
how you liking ryzen
It's such a good processor
4690k is outdated now
4 cores will become outdated soon
i just OC'd mine to make it last a little longer
Ssshhhh
4690k is already outdated
BF1 and BFV will make a 4 core run at 100% load lol
4 cores 4 threads ๐
4690k isnt useful for modern titles outside 1080p at 60fps
it struggles at 1440p and cant do shit at 4k
6 cores and 12 threads is perfect
get threadripper grimace
8 cores/8 threads will get the same performance as 6 cores/12 threads
Threadripper is bad for gaming
8 real cores = 12 threads
It also takes quad channel memory to really do anything
7700k and 8600k perform about equally since 6c vs 8t is pretty close
8700k vs 9700k is different because the 8700k still has an extra 4 threads that do help in some tasks
That and there wasn't any real improvements to IPC, clocks, etc
8th gen and 9th gen Intel IPC is the same
But goddamn... Steady 140+ is godlike for sniping
9900k is really an overkill for bfv, need better gpu ๐
doesn't 9700K get ahead of the 9900K in most games?
tbh a 9900k is a little tempting
the only flaw with the 9th gen is that they applied a little too much solder
but its fucking expensive and Cannonlake might be coming
Or Zen2 might be fucking amazing
Also I love the looks of the Maximus X Formula but couldn't find any, and the Maximus XI Formula looks like shit to me
Not sure why Asus had to change up the look that has been around for generations this time
don't think I'd pay over $300 for a cpu lol
I paid $260 for my 8600k
imagine the face of 7600K users when the 8600K came out lmao
I might buy a 9700k and pay silicon lottery to delid it
Imagine the faces of anyone who bought a 7700k for the 8600k to come out and be cheaper
yeah lol
delid a soldered chip?
yea but its like a 2 degree difference
5-10C
it's harder than a TIM paste chip for sure
The only difference is you have to remove the solder
you have to heat it up don't you?
Not for Coffeelake refresh
i read no heating is required
Heating up the solder causes it to flow and makes it harder to remove
its just sanding basically
not sure on the terms though, but read about sanding the solder and then lowering the thing under the solder like 0.1-0.2 mm?
to get best results
You can scrap off the solder with a razor blade
Then use a special sandpaper to lap down the physical die (the actual CPU part) to help with heat transfer
probably 800 grit sandpaper
Now you can't do it to the new Skylake-X CPUs (whatever they are called) because there is SMDs around the die that get scrapped off when removing the IHS
so RIP CPU if you try that, although heating it might allow it
Ryzen saw only 1-2C difference with delid lmao
Ryzen also has other things limiting it and its solder job is good
amd solder is good because they been doing it forever
wasn't Intel 2nd gen soldered?
Intel owns patent
AMD pays Intel to use patent
Ivy-bridge to Coffeelake were paste TIM
AMD uses indium sheets for solder

how much does soldering increase the cost of production lol
There is the patent by intel
It reduces yields due to extra manufacturing (not every CPU will survive the soldering) and extra steps involved
The actual materials used aren't expensive
and here by the one for AMD that cites the Intel patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US8497162B1/en
huh Intel has a lot of neat patents
There's no definitive reason from Intel or otherwise why they switched to using TIM, it basically boils down to the fact that Intel's CPUs have concentrated hot spots. This causes uneven heating and exacerbates thermal fatigue. If solder were used, this could create cracks in it, leading to so-called voids that decrease the thermal efficiency. AMD doesn't have this problem because a lot of their CPU dies have hot spots that are more spread out. But using TIM to avoid thermal fatigue issues appears to be supported further by the fact that Ryzen 3 and 5 APUs have TIM in them instead of being soldered.

Anybody gotten the constant minimising from fullscreen issue?
I still can't fix this fucking thing and I'm starting to lose my shit
Windows 10?
Yep
Don't even have to answer, I know, we know, we all know, Windows 10 is AIDs, its okay
We understand, we're here for you
I wish I was still using Windows 7
Yeah W10; updatedf NVidia drivers; however rolled the nvidia driver back and 0 difference
Just gunna see if CCleaner's Registry fixer might do it.
I am doubtful thouygh
Nope
Ok so just tested with FIFA19 as well; and that will keep coming out of Fullscreen as well
Will try a non-origin game
Yep does it to CoH2 as well

80 percent cpu usage 66 percent gpu usage average fps 125fps on BF5 GTX 1080 i7 6700 why doesn't my gpu get fully used... gets 99 percent in other games
Memory?
16gb ddr4 3000mhz dual channel @sonic osprey
Ikr!! :/ I mean at least I get 120fps but I would like a locked 144
Ye xmp profile enabled
But since cpu is not 90+, there is something limiting the frames for cpu side
future frame rendering on or off?
Not sure if it matters, just testing dx12 w/o ffr myself, seems same fps for me
Ah okay! :) I do custom settings I don't need ultra lul
@pallid silo what resolution do you play at?
Apparently ffr has no effect in dx12
@prime jasper 1080p 144hz
Ah
144fps should be reasonable, then.
I get like 100-120fps on battlefield 1 at 1440p high
True xD but it goes to 120fps most of the time and I wanna use 100 percent of gpu
@prime jasper gpu and cpu usage?
Might just be a cpu bottleneck
1440p 144hz gaming is awesome
What's your cpu?
Was getting 50% gpu usage on my 4770k upgraded to 9700k now getting 100% gpu
R5 2600 @4ghz
Ahh okay I have a ryzen 7 1700 in my streaming pc
Cool
Mobo is a b350 tomahawk.
full disclosure i just installed it with my 9700k only yesterday but i've had no issues so far haha
Why a 9700k?
It just seems weird. Performance wise, it makes more sense to go all out with a 9900k, or go with an 8700k
naw dude
The 9700 is like an uncomfortable middle ground.
9700k is literally equivalent to 9700k for gaming
im using this pretty much exclusively for gaming - I don't do rendering or streaming etc.
so 9900k would have zero benefit for me
and as for 8700k the 9700k only cost $50 more, so I said why not
so yeah not a huge dif for the 9700k vs the 8700k performance wise, but it was a $50 difference
9700k - 9900k was $200 more and even less performance difference
Understandable
I'd have probably saved up a little longer and got the 9900k, but I love CPUs.
lol
I'd be getting it in part for the novelty
@red ingot what's your gpu?
Jesus xd
Nice
:3
What's resolution
1440p
Hz?
144hz
1440p 144hz monitors are expensive as fuck xD
yessir
My 1080p 144hz was 130 pounds
yeah
my 1080p 144hz was $150 CAD like 5 years ago (got it on sale mind you)
this mofo on sale was $750 CAD on sale (although IPS panel, g-sync, and 1440p)
super expensive, but don't regret it - it's beautiful
@pallid silo mine was ยฃ230
and im not upgrading this monitor until 4k 144hz is possible, and that'll be at least 5-10 years out
Less than $300
@prime jasper where from?
Ebuyer
@red ingot 4k 144hz us dumb. You'd be better off with ultrawide 1440p 144hz, or even 1440p 240hz.
And shit, 1440p 144hz still isn't possible universally
well yeah
Because the difference between 1440p and 4k is minimal at best.
that's why i said at least 5-10 years
Tbh 5-10 years sounds generous.
I'd be surprised if we can even hit 1440p 144fps at ultra on AC Odyssey within 5 years
That game is a monster
welp, dx11+ffr = dx12 without in terms of fps for me now
both seems to be in the 140-144 range with limited frames
Question: I've got an older, Z170 Motherboard, an Intel i7 7700, and an older gen ASUS 1080. What kind of frames should I expect to get?
all standard cooling, no overclocking or anything like that
1080p, 144fps
Yea just about. the i7 is still pretty strong and 1080 is a good card for 1080p 144hz
Worst case you could get msi afterburner and oc your gpu a bit
You don't need anything more for 1080p 144hz
But at the same time, why use a 1080 for 1080p 144hz? A 1080 can handle 1440p 144hz easy
Everywhere it matters, anyway.
1440p 144hz on this game? Maybe if you turn down settings but seems a waste then to either get the tn panel dell one that's like the most bought or spend like an extra 1 to 2 hundred for an ips panel then lower settings in every game coming up
@mental hatch 144fps in Battlefield isn't hugely important imo
Anything between 100 and 120 is gonna feel vastly better than 60
And that would be reasonably achievable at medium/high ish settings
In a more up close and personal game like overwatch, 1080p might be fine, but battlefield is on a large scale, and so the extra detail at a distance is really nice at 1440p
Absolutely worth those 20-30 frames
I'd take 1440p/60 over 1080p/144 in battlefield, even.
my use case for a 4k 144hz monitor would be 4k on the desktop and 1440p in games
gotta get that crisp 200% scaling 
1440 and 4k don't scale properly tho
Nah
It would be extremely washed out
Even when running at a higher resolution than native, the image gets washed out if they don't scale.
Trust me, it'd look really, really bad.
not really, I've played with sub-4k resolutions on my 4k monitor at work
it's not too bad
1080 would work fine.
I don't think nvidia cards let you do that though
Idk
Personally, I say just get 1440p. You won't notice the difference on the desktop
you definitely will
And it might even look worse, because you would need windows scaling.
You wouldn't.
I mean I already do
I switch between 2x 4k monitors at work and 1440p+1080p at home every day
everything is considerably more crisp at 200% scaling on the 4k monitors
it's not wasting if it's useful for me ๐ that being said, the current 4k 144hz monitors are insanely expensive
so I'm not going for that anyway
And useless for gaming.
yeah
you're probably right that it would at 1440p
the stuff I played at sub-4k upscaled to 4k before was 1080p
That would be fine
yeah
But you'd be sacrificing your gaming experience for a cleaner desktop
Which seems dumb to me
yeah, especially since the use case I presented for 4k 144hz was "best of both worlds"
which it wouldn't really be, unless you're fine with 1080p for gaming
Aye
And if you can afford 4k 144hz, chances are you aren't fine with 1080p for gaming
And shit, if you care about resolution on the desktop, you definitely care about resolution in game
Just doesn't seem to work
Not now, anyway.
When 4k 60 in games like AC and 4k 144hz in games like Overwatch is relatively accessable, it would make more sense.
But I'm basically just saying "when 4k is as easy to run as 1440p, it'll make sense"
Which is far from where we are now
yeah, considering 4k is 2.25x the amount of pixels of 1440p
we're not really quite there yet ๐
Aye
(though it obv doesn't scale perfectly linearly)
DLSS seems interesting in that regard
1440p 144hz is the best gaming has to offer rn imo
excited to see a game implement it
and also that uh
what was that tech called
where parts of the screen can be rendered at lower res based on certain criteria
Wolfenstein 2 got that in a patch, afaik only works on the RTX 2000 series cards
Where anti aliasing only applied to certain objects?
W2 has it, but the performance difference isn't huge.
Nvidia's Turing architecture pushes rendering into new territory with a number of brand new features - including variable rate shading, an attempt to lessen ...
Ik what you mean
It's interesting tech, but not groundbreaking.
And it would be least useful on RTX cards
Given they're already pretty powerful
It would only really make sense at 4k, but then it still wouldn't, because AA at 4k is basically unnecessary
And every rtx card will run W2 at 1440p 144
it's not just AA afaik
that's a given
but the idea is that it looks worse in areas where you don't notice it as much
Aye
Probably
You'd break 200 at 1440 anyway
And very few people will be playing at 4k 100+hz
still, I'm excited for any and all optimizations ๐
So this is basically useless
It's not entirely useless, but currently, it's basically useless.
will be useful in a few years, especially if more games implement it
anyone here having stutters since the new driver 416.94?
haven't noticed any on my 1080 Ti
but I think I've seen people mention some issues with that driver on reddit
@craggy dagger I haven't, but I had really bad issues with some of the early 400 drivers, so it doesn't surprise me to hear it
What's the problem?
Ah, stutters
Are you using DX12?
If so, don't do that.
no
Strange.
Open up task manager, play for a while and when you see a stutter, look for a spike
Yes
If you have the same issue afterwards, try rolling back.
Also, when you install 417, do a clean install.
@craggy dagger maybe that's why you're having issues
i always do normals and its ok
i mean, the previous was ok and i did normal
lol i've fooled dice/nvidia!
after the patch it said i had to update my geforce driver to play the game, so i did but got worse fps
so i just rolled back the driver in device manager but could still play the game
and surprise surprise, my fps went back up again, and it doesnt detect me using the old gfx driver
WHAT DRIVER do you use?
the good one im using right now is 25.21.14.1694
getting about 115-120 fps on all settings on low and some config tweaks with a gtx 970
what cards are people running on battlefieild V and what do you get for performance leave a comment below
i run a 1070
I get like 120fps ish at 1440p high on BF1, with a 1080
Don't have V, but from what I've seen they perform pretty similarly
should i upgrade to 417.01?
gtx 960 2gb 45-60 on 720p all low depending on how much action is going on
@prime jasper I'm using a 1080 for 1080p because I don't have a monitor that is 1440p
You should get one, they aren't too expensive now.
My 144hz 1440p TN was ยฃ230
@old gazelle cool
I have a 27"
I prefer it for 1440p, feels just about perfect for me
Any bigger and it starts to look like 1080p again
I only get 100-120 fps on Medium-High settings
Feels like I should be getting 144 :/
do you prefer low settings for a slight competitive advantage or high/ultra for beautiful graphics? I've been running on low for a few days but I think I'm gonna go back to ultra
after playing on a 1050 to a 1050ti to a 1070 i cant touch low settings anymore it hurts too much
unless its like AA and shadows in which case that gets lowest it can
We talk FPS optimizations here?
Ok discord overlay and dx12 will crash your game when alt tab.
Dx12 crashes everything. Itโs shit
Canโt play shadow of tomb raider with dx12 or rise of the Tomb Raider or BF V (though better after last update)
works 100% amazing for me ๐
are you on windows 1809?
latest nvidia drivers released days ago
im not sure if RTX cards have any changes in how dx12 works, i wouldnt think so but who knows
9700k + 2070 + dx12 = butter smooth 100fps min 1% time fps though
you need to try it with FFR off
or at MOST FFR 1 frame
DX12 just seems to stutter with a lot of people.
i think the problem is people arent trying the right combo of settings or have the right hardware
And even when it doesn't, it's no better than DX11
but yea i mean they had to get DX12 working for RTX
i mean.. it's much better for min fps
and i dont have to use FFR

so no input latency
i got about +20fps on my .1% 1% time fps
benchmarks wont show you this
avg fps might move 5fps or something and everyone shrugs at dx12
yo even 75hz feels so much better than 60
Finally got my monitor running at 75hz and im wondering how i could ever play on 60
I just throw it on ultra and play also yes @craggy dagger update your drivers for best performance
Game update is stuck on 100%
@old gazelle ahm ahm DANNYONPC'S PC BROKE BECAUSE OF THAT
@prime jasper does ur computer revert back to 60hz?
like for whatever reason, it will change back to 60hz with no reason
need mine to stop reverting my 68hz to 60hz
im using win7
huh, could be windoze 10 i guess
even did another check on my oc
its perfect even with a 1/2 shutter speed
no frame skips from https://testufo.com/frameskipping
does windows completely delete the custom resolution?
react to this message and if it gets 10 reactions i will download 417.01 (i think thats how its called)
MAYBE ahm
417.22 yo
They do tonnes xd
They help with stability, and just because the fps in one of your games hasn't increased doesn't mean that another one's hasn't xd @prime jasper
yep, it might not hit exactly your hardwares if/else branch for the update
but since they want easier upgrading for themselves instead of optimized drivers per hardware, you all get the same patch everytime they do something
Guys, is someone here good when it comes to networking?
I need some help with basic TCP stuff (related to the 3 way handshake)
syn / syn ack / ack
I need this help
lmao
I can't find anything on Google about that specific case
I have know idea if this is correct
ugh, cant remember much from tcp/ip networking course back in 2002
that is like fill the blanks question? and your proposed solutions are the blue text in bottom? shouldn't there be some increment in the seq's based on the acks
lol such question for a basic hardware tech chan in a battlefield server ๐
I'm guessing this is some online test :D
@red ingot ?!
its just like people are so lazy in their programming homeworks and they use stackoverflow (professional stack exchange site) to get someone to do their coding for internet points
psyonix is asking me to disable every single non MS service in msconfig to try to troubleshoot my issue lol
yea f that, it breaks everything
Why lol
they're reaching at straws
i get that you have to go through your normal procedure, but they need to dig deep to understand how windows could just all a sudden not think anything CPU intensive is running anymore
this is a real sob of a problem
new poe league started yo
๐
newegg 500gb 970evo on backorder at newegg x_x
i dont need more than 250 for my OS/Program file drive
be a waste really but hard to pay $78 for 250 when 500 is $118
i gotta burn this $50 newegg card by end of month though
i mean normal price appears to be $100 for 250 and $150 for 500 so they just charge a lot for 250
you like your mobo?
is there any RGB on it?
just on left or?
man i really love my circuit RGB...
:p
plus there's a few rgb headers on the board if u wanna get the strips
to put in your case
yeh.. i got one addressable
and a couple normal RGB headers
but that dead air cpu bleed..
if im playing something its no problem but if i ever just have nothing going on and i put my headset on first ๐
its really a "non-issue"
dead air cpu bleed?
