Comes with a wraith and all

[latent light]

8370 is probably your best budget option now

yeah comes with a great stock cooler

[storm osprey]

WITH wraith

oooo

id jump on that for that price

[keen forge]

8350 is £50 more

[storm osprey]

tf?

[trail cypress]

@keen forge thanks bud.

[keen forge]

But £60 for a wraith and 8370 is a pretty sexy deal

[latent light]

8350 stock is really low, there's a lot more 8370s out there

[minor turret]

is 9350 etc a different socket?

[latent light]

9370 tdp is 220w

[keen forge]

Plus it's £160

[latent light]

8370 is 125w

[keen forge]

More than a 1600

[storm osprey]

just a high bin high oc 8350 really

[keen forge]

£20 less than I paid for my 1800x

[minor turret]

bit like how 4970k is more expensive than new CPUs used

DDR3 platform premium

[storm osprey]

low inv

"rare"

[minor turret]

4770k/4790k = 300-350 usd in norway when i checked

[trail cypress]

Thanks guys for the help 😃

[keen forge]

4790k is a solid CPU

[latent light]

higher multicore speed will go a long way

[storm osprey]

especially for bfv

[latent light]

yep

[minor turret]

4790k is solid but at this point its better going for ddr4 rig

[keen forge]

Plus it's cheaper than an fx-6350 by $30

[steep gust]

userbenchmark is a shit benchmark

[latent light]

it works

🤷

[minor turret]

synthetic benchmarks are okay, just dont rely on game fps numbers

[keen forge]

Yeah salty, if buying, ddr4 rig is better for sure, but I have friends who haven't upgraded their 47/49xx kfor yonks, solid CPUs

[steep gust]

no userbenchmark is a trash comparison site as a whole

[storm osprey]

@trail cypress my friend says he gets 60-80 fps with his pc, 6300, 16gb, 1050ti everything off/low

[steep gust]

You want to compare two CPUs on the same architect? Use Cinebench

but because userbenchmark doesn't show overclocking, or task manager priority, or bloatware, or anything its garbage for actual comparisons

[minor turret]

pretty sure i just read a thread ranting about how cinebench uses 256 FPUs in a retarded manner that is not relevant for real life usage

it doesnt even represent AVX properly

so that aint perfect either

[steep gust]

You don't need real life usage comparisons

You want raw performance numbers

[pallid silo]

is it safe to overclock your monitor

[storm osprey]

i see it often, but the gains arent worth it imo

[covert heron]

^

most monitors only overclock from like 60 to 75hz

or somethign small like that

its marginal improvement at best

[old gazelle]

hey guys

[molten bramble]

Hi

[storm osprey]

hellooo

[timid abyss]

So i on PC now, can I get my BFV from PS4 on PC now that I have one, Or do I have to get a new PC copy?

[storm osprey]

new copy

[timid abyss]

Dang,that sucks

[storm osprey]

i mean, you could try to get dice to give you a code

but i reallllllyyyy doubt they will

[timid abyss]

I dont think I will be that lucky io

imo*

[molten bramble]

Yeah, have to pick up a new copy. I have it on XB1 myself and PC.

[timid abyss]

What should I do? Ask a member of dice for compensation, because I don't have the money

[storm osprey]

i mean, you can try, but i really really really doubt youre gonna get anywhere

[timid abyss]

Okay

[keen forge]

That’s a weird system, is there no origin on Xbox/ps?

[storm osprey]

4k OLED laptop panel

rip any battery life

[steep gust]

OLED is more efficient than a standard display

Since you don't have to power black

[minor turret]

but still MOAR POWAH

to drive 4k

[molten bramble]

That is the new Radeon card? That's ridiculous. Looks like the risers we had back in the friggin' 80s/90s.

Please tell me that's a fake.

[keen forge]

[molten bramble]

I think only my case could probably hold something that gargantuan LOL.

[keen forge]

They photoshopped some of the fans out, otherwise it would just look silly

[minor turret]

since better discord is no longer in accordance to ToS

any way to remove the blocked user messages?

[molten bramble]

Remove blocked user messages? You mean you can't delete them from the client-side?

[steep gust]

Its a fake

he means the "blocked messages" notifications

[minor turret]

ye

i dont understand why discord doesnt give option to remove that when it pollutes chat

figured it out, need bandagedBD to apply a custom CSS code

[maiden kayak]

Question for you dudes

ANyone else having trouble with VOIP not coming through the right sound output?

[pallid silo]

My case USB header dont fit into my motherboard b350 tomahawk msi and corsair carbide 300r is there anyway to fix it

[molten bramble]

@maiden kayak Nope, just Discord or other clients?

[latent light]

USB header not fitting into the USB connector slot?

[molten bramble]

Sounds like the old jumper head style, the white one.

[latent light]

if only there was a X470 board like this

white

[maiden kayak]

@molten bramble in BFV

My VOIP is set up correctly in BFV and Origin

But it still uses the wrong output

[molten bramble]

Oh, never had that issue.

[foggy shadow]

@maiden kayak Didn't Nvidia added their own audio input/output in the sounds settings? Like in the latest patch or something. Idk what the correct term is, drivers? Could've screwed up something?

[steep gust]

displayport doesn't support audio

I'm sure Nvidia control panel has had audio settings for a long time due to HDMI, but it shouldn't do anything if you well

don't use hdmi

[elfin scroll]

https://imgur.com/a/Qg4IyBY Anyone got any input on this?

[flint locust]

Are you on the latest driver?

[elfin scroll]

Yes

[flint locust]

Probably should clean install drivers

ray tracing tech is too expensive for consoles even by 2020-2021 standards

[steep gust]

ray tracing is too expensive for PCs

RTX =/= actual ray tracing

[latent light]

no way this would be possible

SSD storage on next gen consoles would be nice

but NVMe

come on

plus why the hell would a console need an 8-core Zen 2 cpu

[steep gust]

NVMe is wasted on consumer PCs anyways

[latent light]

I mean if that was true, it would be really impressive

RTX on = lower fps = more time to appreciate the reflections

it just works

[unkempt mirage]

Alright, so im going to be buying a pc soon and i would like to know if this pc can run bf1 and v, here are the main specs
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4Ghz
Ram: 16GB of ddr4-2666 ram
Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 580 4gb (vr ready, dont know if thats important)
Mobo: MSI X470 GAMING PLUS Gb LAN, USB 3.1 (4 Rear, 6 Front),
PSU: 600 Watt standard 80 plus gold
OS: Windows 10

[steep gust]

I would spent like $20 more and get the RX580 8GB

and get a better psu

other than that looks fine

[unkempt mirage]

alright cool, thanks

what psu do you recomend?

should i go with a EVGA psu?

[steep gust]

budget?

[unkempt mirage]

ive heard those are good (sorry for the spam i dont mean it im just remembering things as i send them)

[steep gust]

EVGA has bad PSUs

[unkempt mirage]

kind of yea, under 1.2K

[steep gust]

You go by the model not by the brand

is modularity important?

[unkempt mirage]

cus its already 1.1K and i dont want to spend even more

modularity, do you mean customizability?

[steep gust]

modularity is are the cables connected to the PSU

or can you remove them

semi-modular means only the required cables are connected to the PSU

[unkempt mirage]

like the cables that are connected to the mobo that hook up to the psu? sorry im like kind of new to the technical side of computers

[latent light]

Semi-modular comes with the CPU and Motherboard cables built-in

fully modular means you can remove any cable you like

[latent light]

no modular means no cable can be removed from the psu

[steep gust]

Modular, semi, non

[unkempt mirage]

i dont know if this is important, but i am getting a pre built from ibuypower, but i can customize my specs

oh ok thank you grim that makes more sense

[steep gust]

I would aim for at least a semi modular PSU

[unkempt mirage]

so a standard isnt a modular psu i would asume ?

assume*

[steep gust]

Corsair CXM (2015), SeaSonic FOCUS Gold, BitFenix WhisperM, EVGA G2 / G3, SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold, and Corsair RMx (2018) are all decent PSUs

I doubt it

Its probably the one o the cheapest PSU on the market, which isn't very good

[unkempt mirage]

Gamdias Astrape P1 RGB 650G - 80 PLUS Gold, Full Modular thats the one that i chose would this one work?

[latent light]

overpriced tbh

you can get a 650W gold psu from corsair for $100 cheaper than the Gamdias

[unkempt mirage]

oh alright

had some driver issues with my laptop

its making my so annoyed

i decided to just do a reset

[prime jasper]

anyone knows a good gaming headphones that doesn't break for no reason suddenly

i had this msi ds502 and broke suddenly .... whenever i try to increase the volume from the headset itself the sound goes on one side

even though i never dropped it

[green nebula]

^

[prime jasper]

well i need a wired headset with 7.1 surround

idk really about the budget the prices here are a lil bit different cuz of the currency

maybe a high end one or an avg one idk @plain vessel

yes good mic

i jus need something solid

many of my headphones don't live for so long

these are kinda expensive here th0 maybe a cheaper one

lol

mmmmaybe

[prime raptor]

Why do you need 7.1 surround?

it's a headset. Just use stereo

Most of them have two speakers anyways and just use software tricks to do the 7.1

[green nebula]

And that's usually extremely awful imo.

[prime raptor]

^

[green nebula]

I prefer a good stereo headphone.

Feels a lot nicer on my ears.

And that's the reason i got an ATH M50x because it was on sale.

[prime raptor]

If you're budget is around $100usd Sennheiser has the Game One. Or the PC-37x if you use massdrop.

[green nebula]

^^^

[prime raptor]

Great speakers, built in mic

They're very comfy as well.

Plus Sennheiser sells parts for them so if they break you can fix them.

Instead of getting new ones.

[green nebula]

Which is always nice.

[prime raptor]

Very

[prime jasper]

which doesn't matter here because i live under a rock

[green nebula]

Speaking of spare parts, i need to see if i can't replace my M50x's ear muffs (is that what you call them?)

[prime raptor]

The foamy things?

[green nebula]

Yee

Ear pads

there we go

[prime raptor]

You'll be able to get more

yeah, that's it

[green nebula]

Been using this for 3 years now

[prime raptor]

Why not @prime jasper ?

[green nebula]

still going strong.

[prime jasper]

i live in Egypt

[prime raptor]

huh

[green nebula]

oof

[prime jasper]

i was thinking about something like razer kraken

[green nebula]

Razer Krakens are decent, but their mic quality is awful and mine barely lasted a year.

[prime raptor]

What's your budget in Egyptian pounds?

[green nebula]

and their software is bullshit.

[prime raptor]

(I don't know what egyptian currency is called forgive me)

Because Souq has Sennheiser game one/zero for 5,659.00

[green nebula]

Egyptian Pounds

[prime raptor]

Really? Huh.

[green nebula]

God

Egypts money is better than South Africa's

1 Egyptian Pound - 0.76 South African Rand.

😿

[prime raptor]

oof

Tell me how this makes you feel

[green nebula]

what does

[prime raptor]

The whole currency issue. Let it out.

[green nebula]

ooh

Its bullshit

🤷 Because our government is severely retarded.

That's about it.

[prime raptor]

I'm glad we had this talk.

[green nebula]

👌

[minor turret]

Sennheiser game one is decent if you dont use volume knob

if you do it will break

40 download and 5 upload xd @finite torrent @steep gust

[steep gust]

Yeah that isn't gonna be enough for a decent streaming with low latency

[pallid silo]

ahh okay xD not even 480p?

i play my games at 1440p 144hz on gaming pc

steam link works well

[steep gust]

Yeah because its a home network

If you mean from a different network you will not be able to play anything that requires fast actions

[pallid silo]

ahh okay fair enough! xD what about steam in home streaming?

[steep gust]

If you have a good 5.0ghz network maybe

I couldn't get the steam remote play thingy to work well on 2.4ghz

[pallid silo]

how do you know if you have 5ghz]

[steep gust]

Where is your router?

[pallid silo]

downstairs xd

[steep gust]

Then it most likely isn't 5.0ghz

[pallid silo]

why? 😛

[steep gust]

5.0ghz sucks at going through physical objects

[pallid silo]

the steam android app for link thingy was laggy as hell and had lag spikes

ohhh!

i use powerline adapter on pc

[steep gust]

You can check by network properties in windows

powerline has its own issues

[pallid silo]

its good tho xD as long as you put it in a wall

[steep gust]

yeah minus the interference and other issues

[pallid silo]

true 😛 but ive never had issues with my 40 down and 5 up

[latent light]

internet was off for 12 hours

[acoustic quail]

...

Learn Linus , they bypassed ISP

their network is directly hooked to the oversea internet traffic

they are their own ISP

[steep gust]

No?

They have pretty much a fast lane to whatever company connects them to the greater parts of the world

https://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/meshify/meshify-s2-black-tg oh shit

hinges, reservoir brackets, pump mounts, and fill port

420mm rad in the top, 360mm in the front, 280mm in the base

EATX support

400mm+ GPU length

Now I wish they went with 360mm in the top and didn't bother with 420mm since it makes the case long

[sonic osprey]

Think the 400mm gpu length is if you dont fit a reservoir, maybe something like 300-320mm with reservoir fitted

[steep gust]

Max 440 mm with front fan mounted

So 440mm with a 25mm fan

Most "long" GPUs are still like 300-320mm

my friend that's making a white build got this

[lime pollen]

niceu

still trying to find a good motherboard for my 8700

also waiting on navi

[latent light]

Navi's best card will probably compete with a 2070/1080

[lime pollen]

as long as it's under 400$ I'm fine with that

[latent light]

if Navi has HBM2 memory, then gg Navi

it would be expensive af

[lime pollen]

yeah I'd literally scream

why

[latent light]

GDDR6 hopefully, even GDDR5 would be fine

[lime pollen]

mhm

don't even ask

[lime pollen]

go look in xbox chat if you're wanting to squad up

[steep gust]

Navi isn't gonna have HBM2

[latent light]

good

[lime pollen]

It really shouldn't

[steep gust]

AMD's current budget lineup doesn't

They would have to do some serious changes to get HBM2

[latent light]

you think it will be GDDR6?

[steep gust]

Maybe

GDDR6 is expensive but still going to end up cheaper than HBM2

[latent light]

yeah lol

[steep gust]

and now that both Samsung and Micron make GDDR6, Nvidia can't pull a GDDR5X

[latent light]

8GB of HBM2 costs $150, for AMD it probably costs them under that though because partnership

[steep gust]

and as tech matures it gets cheaper

[latent light]

GDDR5X is high binned GDDR5?

[steep gust]

Pretty much

But Nvidia had contracts

[latent light]

yeah it's exclusive

if Navi can do 2070/1080/Vega 64 performance for under $400, it would be fine

[lime pollen]

^

[latent light]

well you can get a Vega 64 for $400

blower cooler though

[steep gust]

Vega 64 is garbage

Buy a 56 and mod it

[latent light]

Vega 64 LC is $500

I wanted a 56, but got a RX 580 instead

580 was like $120 cheaper

🤷

[lime pollen]

^

rn the 580 is around 200$ cheaper

but the 56 still has a huge performance gain over it

I just want to upgrade my 1070 already tbh

[latent light]

56 and 1070 are identical in most games

although the 56 pulls ahead in DX12

[lime pollen]

mhm

[latent light]

if I had any vega card, I'd undervolt the core and the memory

-50mV for both

[lime pollen]

[steep gust]

or mod it and let it draw like 200% more power

[latent light]

lol

[steep gust]

HBM2 should be left alone since you can easily harm performance

[latent light]

the PCB on the XFX Vega 56 is tiny wtf

[lime pollen]

squints loudly

[latent light]

only like 6 inches long

decent backplate

[steep gust]

Backplates do very little

[latent light]

it looks nice

[steep gust]

If its that cheap its not gonna have thermal pads between the backplate and pcb

[latent light]

[lime pollen]

time to make a custom backplate

[latent light]

I like custom heatsinks

although they take up so much space

[steep gust]

uh what

My backplate adds like 5mm to my gpu

[latent light]

I was talking about heatsink for the gpu, not the backplate lol

[steep gust]

Yeah GPUs draw 200w+

I think mine does nearly 300w

[ornate shale]

Is the new radeon 7 even worth it for gaming?

or should I wait for navi

[latent light]

it sits at the same price range as the rtx 2080 and get around the same performance

[ornate shale]

that's reassuring at least. I saw some people mention that it's not for gaming, but for content creating

so I got really really confused

[latent light]

it's a multipurpose gpu more than anything

it does content creation and gaming

this custom cooler is big

[ornate shale]

Ahh I see. I might get it then, but at $700 it's not a pretty price tag to look at. I heard it costs AMD about $300 usd to make this card (just the memory alone), but my wallet is still hesitant on this

I tink $550 or $600 sounds better

[latent light]

16GB of HBM2 memory costs average joes $300, probably costs AMD $200-250

[steep gust]

Radeon 7 will have the same issue as Vega at launch

tiny amount of stock and huge demand

[latent light]

low stock

[steep gust]

100% its super low production

Since its just a reskinned Mi50

[ornate shale]

ugh

As much as I wanna root for AMD, they're making it harder

[latent light]

if they release 8GB or a 12GB version which is unlikely, it would probably be $100-150 cheaper

some are claiming it's impossible to make an 8GB version of it

[ornate shale]

would it even be a big difference between 8/12 vs 16?

[latent light]

some games utilize more than 8GB of vram

when settings are maxed out

I hear resident evil 2 can use 12GB

[steep gust]

Why wouldn't it be possible?

People need to realize that disabling memory is not impossible

[latent light]

lol

[steep gust]

Literally just laser off the SMD that applies to it

or just BIOS mod it and not solder the memory

[latent light]

8GB Radeon VII would be a good purchase

it wouldn't have 1 TB/s bandwidth anymore though

[steep gust]

It wouldn't have much going for it then

1TB/s bandwidth and like a quarter of the FP64 compared to the Mi50

[latent light]

8GB version for gamers

[ornate shale]

I just want a viable GPU that's not over $500

[steep gust]

2060 then

[latent light]

yeah 2060 is pretty good

[steep gust]

GPUs over $500 are for 1440p / 4k nowadays

[latent light]

1070 Ti performance

you own a 2070 right?

2060 seems like a punch to the gut to 2070 users because it's much better value lol

[ornate shale]

I'm kinda trying to avoid nvidia, since I don't feel like they deserve the profit for price gouging their products

[steep gust]

I have a 1080

and we don't say the cost of R&D

So claiming price gouging isn't exactly accurate

[latent light]

Nvidia does have much higher R&D budget than AMD does for GPU market

AMD is more focused on CPUs

[ornate shale]

but nvidia also knows their monopoly and will take advantage of it as uch

[latent light]

and after CES, they seemed more focused on mobile CPUs than everything else

[ornate shale]

so many typos god dam this mechanical keyboard

[steep gust]

Mobile CPUs = money

Nvidia has had a monopoly on high-end GPUs for generations dude

[ornate shale]

I know and I wanted that to finally end ;_;

[latent light]

yeah since the GTX 700 series

[steep gust]

Its not going to

AMD doesn't have the budget

[latent light]

did you say bulge

AMD can sure compete in the mid range though

[steep gust]

Not if Nvidia really wants to

[latent light]

in fact, they've been doing better in the mid-range for the past year

[ornate shale]

damn it, well if the only viable option is nvidia, I'm waiting until black friday sales so they don't get as much profit from me

but if Radeon 7 has enough stock and if it's good, I'ma get it

[steep gust]

Nvidia already isn't making much of a profit off their GPUs

There is a reason why AIB cards cost more than the founders edition

[ornate shale]

well that's great to hear 😄

[latent light]

what gpu do you have right now

[ornate shale]

sadly only gtx 980

[latent light]

tbh you could buy an RTX 2060 for $350 then sell that 980 for about $150

[ornate shale]

that is true, yes. I'm just waiting to see how good Navi will be, first. Whenever possible, I want to support AMD if they make something worth buying. If not...I guess it's another round of Nvidia for me

I have never sold a GPU before though, so I don't know what wires to include or anything. I'm a dumb ass about this stuff, so I don't wanna miss a part, then have the buyer accuse me of scamming

[steep gust]

So just say no included accessories

[ornate shale]

Oh okay, thank you

[keen forge]

Saw you guys talking about the vega 56 PCB length, looked at mine, realised its half the length of the card xD

[latent light]

it makes sense because the memory is on the GPU die itself

so no need for all of that extra PCB space

[keen forge]

I like it, it's got a nice chonky heatsink there

[steep gust]

Stick the power monitoring on the backside and you can easily cut off 3-4in

HMB2 isnt on the die but the substrate

[latent light]

yeah it's the 2 dies under the main GPU die

they are logic dies with four 1GB HBM2 modules on each

they are stacked on top of each other

[steep gust]

You can see the two dies in the paste

[latent light]

I wonder why the VRMs are that color

the mosfets are white and the chokes are brass color

[steep gust]

Thermal pads?

dunno

[prime jasper]

nice

[tame topaz]

I had a question.. I'm playing battlefield 1 on Acer predator helios 300 with 8gb ram,1050ti and 17 7700hq..how much fps shall I get?

Can anyone help

[clever abyss]

@tame topaz do you have anything running in the background?

[tame topaz]

@clever abyss no

[clever abyss]

weird. its a laptop correct?

[tame topaz]

Ya

@clever abyss but benchmarks on YouTube shows that it should give 80-90 fps at least ,on low settings

[clever abyss]

are you playing on battery?

[tame topaz]

@clever abyssno..I Never do

[clever abyss]

ok yeah that's weird

[tame topaz]

But on high and ultra it gives 40-50 fps..which is fine.. according to yt benchmarks

@clever abyssit definitely is

[clever abyss]

so what fps do you get?

[tame topaz]

40-45 ultra

Around 50 high

[clever abyss]

and your saying thats not normal?

[tame topaz]

50-55 medium

@clever abyss 40-45 on ultra is normal..but not crossing 60 on low is not normal

[clever abyss]

i would just play on high then

[tame topaz]

My fps is not. Capped..

[minor turret]

1050ti is nothing special, especially on laptop where GPUs are often nerfed

@tame topaz you have 8 gig of ram most likely single channel with bad timings

[tame topaz]

@clever abyssya...guess I'll do that too

[minor turret]

that + laptop cpu will limit you

[tame topaz]

@minor turret ya...but I just ask for constant 60 on medium settings..is that too much

@minor turret ya but it's i7 7700 hq isn't it enough

[minor turret]

new games like black ops 4/battlefield v will absolutely demolish CPU/Ram

if you have single channel ram you will notice it

also, the 7700 HQ is worse than 2600k, a 8 year old desktop cpu.

at least on paper

[tame topaz]

@minor turret ya..I played bfV beta...and it gave me better frames than bf1...I got a constant 60 on low...60-65 to be precise

[lone wren]

Hi everyone, does anyone here play on a PS4 and uses an Elgato HD60S? To a Mac?

[latent light]

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2158453374193573

not bad

Geoforce though

[soft pecan]

My friend’s notebook is overheating and he opened up the internals to apple a new thermal pastes. His computer doesn’t boot anymore afterwards 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

he thought that maybe the problem is monitor and he dissected the whole notebook completely, now he cant put them back together...

[storm osprey]

570 for 120, with 2 free games

[keen forge]

@soft pecan Outstanding move

Does anyone have any idea when that stupid AMD graphics drivers bug with the outlines will get fixed? They knew it was an issue a while ago but at 19.1.2 it's still an issue

[latent light]

Never heard of it

[keen forge]

It’s a big thing on AMD

[latent light]

I tried to look it up but can't find anything on it

like what do you mean by outlines

[buoyant rover]

I mean

overclocking Ryzen breaks battlefield's sound engine

so not insane that other shit is breaking too

[latent light]

I hear overclocking is causing crashing without error messages

considering how fine optimized BF1 is in current state, all problems with BFV are game related

[buoyant rover]

BF4 and BF1 break too

if overclocking Ryzen

[latent light]

The problem is apparently caused by a recent AGESA update. If you haven't updated your motherboard's UEFI/BIOS, you're probably not going to experience the issue.

it happens mostly on B350 motherboards

[buoyant rover]

@latent light I experienced it on stock bios, an upgraded version, and the newest version

It's not a big deal, I only play at 60hz right now

but it would be completely fucking awful if I was trying to go for 144hz in Battlefield, which requires overclocking

[latent light]

what kind of sound problem is it

sound stuttering?

[buoyant rover]

sound seems to only be allowed 3-5 channels at a time

so it can play that many sounds but no more

the normal is 32+

so the sound constantly cuts out for everything and goes quiet

some things can be heard but most can't

game works fine otherwise

[latent light]

it's more of a motherboard issue

seems to happen more on the 300 series motherboards

[buoyant rover]

I do have a B350

like I said once I eventually upgrade to a 144hz panel it's going to fucking kill me though

going to be impossible to get anywhere near that in Battlefield on 3.2-3.4GHz Ryzen 1

[latent light]

I kinda regret getting a $80 B350 board since the VRMs aren't that great and the built in sound is so quiet

sound cutting out happens on intel too

[buoyant rover]

VRMs don't affect 1600s much at all

otherwise I might care

[latent light]

"I upgraded my PC to a high core Intel 7980XE overclocked and my sound is cutting out at random. I have tried onboard Realtek HD sound and astro a50 base station optical and USB direct. There is something that causes the sound cuts on high core overclocked systems. This is not exclusive to AMD ryzen. I have also disabled all the origin notifications and uninstalled nvidia HD audio out of the drivers."

[buoyant rover]

It's definitely a Battlefield problem

that Ryzen and apparently other overclocked chips happen to be triggering

[latent light]

does it happen with other games?

[buoyant rover]

no

just BF4/1/V

[latent light]

it's probably because battlefield sound design is too good for some hardware to work with it

[buoyant rover]

definitely not

It ain't 1995

sound cards and shit

[latent light]

I do remember getting crackling sounds in BF4 whenever big explosions or many explosions were going off

[buoyant rover]

but I will probably upgrade my board and CPU later so it should go away

[latent light]

but that was on a 4690K at 5.25 GHz

[buoyant rover]

that'll be by the time BF6 is out though

[pine vault]

also, the sound bug in Battlefront that went unfixed for so long

[buoyant rover]

or BC3 pray to jesus

[latent light]

my old 4690K could hit 5.25 GHz stable at 1.28v

now my friend has it and he has it running the same frequency

[covert heron]

you can have sound issues too if you have the sample rate and bit depth set too high in your audio settings

like on the advanced tab under speaker properites, you probably dont want the quality cranked as high as it can go

[storm osprey]

^

most people are running onboard, and those definitely dont support those rates

hell, even audiophile stuff doesnt

[covert heron]

yeah you'll get weird issues due to resampling

off top of my head im pretty sure youd want about 16bit and 44.1khz max for most setups

[storm osprey]

i just leave it default unless you have a dac that supports something else natively

[latent light]

is it true that most games don't do a good job of utilizing faster memory than GDDR5

[keen forge]

https://imgur.com/a/jENHrUm @latent light

Look at reddit, everyone with AMD gets it

[latent light]

I don't get it on my rx 580

[keen forge]

Driver number?

[latent light]

let me check

18.11.2

from november 19

[keen forge]

https://community.amd.com/thread/236170

Except since I've had the game every driver i've had has had the issue

[latent light]

I don't think it's a driver problem

more of problem with the game itself

[keen forge]

It's AMD's side, not DICE's

[latent light]

might have something to do with the new revive system

because that problem doesn't exist in other bf games

[keen forge]

Nah it's been like that since before that

[steep gust]

Try an older driver

DDU your current

[keen forge]

I did try that but it was still there - how far should I roll back?

[steep gust]

Till it works

or DDU and try the most recent one again

[latent light]

how long does the artifact last

[steep gust]

If you have any overclocks that has to go

[keen forge]

I turn off all overclocks for BFV - it crashes if I OC

[latent light]

BFV doesn't like overclocks

[keen forge]

and @latent light until you alt tab, enter squad menu or alt enter x2

[steep gust]

BFV handles my overclocks fine

It sounds like y'all are running unstable overclocks all the time

[keen forge]

Nope mine was stable

or, is

[latent light]

my ryzen 5 1600 at 3.8 GHz has no issues

[steep gust]

"Overclock is stable"

"BFV crashes when I overclock"

pick one

[covert heron]

sometimes games are just weird though

[keen forge]

I pick both

[steep gust]

Then your overclock ain't stable

That simple

[covert heron]

like GTAV would crash unless i downclocked my factory OC'd 980 to reference speeds

[keen forge]

I'll leave it on and hit you up with the results when I can be bothered

[covert heron]

while literally every single otehr game worked at another +150Mhz offset

[latent light]

war thunder used to crash my rx 580 when overclocked but at stock it was fine

[steep gust]

I'm had plenty of benchmarks pass at 2050mhz on core on my 1080, and then a few will crash (Siege hates unstable overclocks)

[keen forge]

Haven't OCd my GPU because i'm lazy

[steep gust]

That's like saying your RAM overclock is stable because it only returns an error once every blue moon

Any error on RAM = ticking time bomb to corrupting your windows install

[latent light]

betrayed, do games take advantage of higher bandwidth speeds than GDDR5

[steep gust]

They can

But generally benchmarks benefit more from memory bandwidth than games

[latent light]

people are saying an 8GB version of the Radeon VII will cut the bandwidth in half and will see equal performance to a vega 64

[steep gust]

It ain't that simple

[latent light]

I mean 8GB HBM2 is at 480 GB/s already

games shouldn't be able to take advantage of faster speeds than that

[steep gust]

Vega 64 is at 483.8 GB/s

Radeon VII is on a new node and runs faster than Vega 64

Also Radeon VII will have a few CU disabled so it'll overclock better

[latent light]

UFD Tech dude said an 8GB radeon VII would perform like a Vega 64

[keen forge]

I’ve rolled back to 18.5.1, came out before BFV, hope it works

[storm osprey]

you troll @latent light

[latent light]

[storm osprey]

mg42 rof too slow

[latent light]

now talking about battlefield in tech

[storm osprey]

LOL

[latent light]

[storm osprey]

post that link here

[latent light]

which

[storm osprey]

to amd stuff

[latent light]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-matisse-third-gen-ryzen-benchmark,38493.html

was tested as an "AMD Eng Sample"

possibly Ryzen 7?

[storm osprey]

ugh now im getting excited again

[latent light]

[steep gust]

Means very little

[buoyant rover]

@latent light That won't get 144hz tho

[latent light]

what won't

[buoyant rover]

1600x at 3.8

i think you were talking about something else

so nvm

[latent light]

[buoyant rover]

Radeon 7 is bad tho

if you're playing games

[latent light]

if the Radeon VII is bad then the RTX 2080 is bad too

🤷

[buoyant rover]

I have seen nothing good from the R7

for gaming

[latent light]

it's not even out yet

[buoyant rover]

we've seen some benchmarks

we'll see post-release how it is

but it's very obviously not meant for gamers anyhow

[latent light]

it's a multi-purpose GPU

[buoyant rover]

It has 16gb of HMB2 does it not

"multi-purpose" usually means it's going to be sub-par but playable

shits not going to be for games, you wait and see

[storm osprey]

i think of it as a titan equivalent

they kept saying r7 is for creators

[latent light]

if it's not for games then why does it come with 3 games

[buoyant rover]

AMD marketing

[storm osprey]

and literally said "and we know you want to see benchmarks"

[latent light]

they showed it playing games at CES

[buoyant rover]

I'm sure it plays games fine

but if you buy a R7 and all you do is play games

[storm osprey]

right, because its a gpu, and no matter its intentions, people want to see benchmarks

[buoyant rover]

you're in for a ride

[storm osprey]

same for titan gpus

you can spend hundreds less and get the same performance

at least for r7 its priced a lot cheaper than titan gpus

[minor turret]

LOL 116 SINGLE CORE SCORE, AMD BTFO

[storm osprey]

9700k is at 150-160

[minor turret]

https://imgur.com/a/juZCWla average 9900k

[storm osprey]

welp, lets wait for final numbers and prices

[steep gust]

@minor turret M8 userbenchmark is trash

I can run a 9900k at 7ghz or 1ghz and it gets treated the same

[minor turret]

Your OC must be unstable then

[latent light]

116 single core is at 3.6 ghz boost

The test result lists the 12-core 24-thread engineering sample with a 3.4 GHz base clock and a 3.6 GHz average boost during the test. The 2D3212BGMCWH2_37/34_N product identifier lists the peak boost clock as 3.7 GHz, and the TDP rating as 105W. We're expecting higher turbo speeds from the third-gen Ryzen processors, the current gen tops out at 4.3 GHz, but early silicon typically comes with dialed back frequencies as vendors fine-tune the design. In other words, these results likely aren't representative of the final clock speeds.

The chips' single-core floating point score is also telling - at 130 points it outstrips a current-gen Ryzen 7 2700X (at roughly the same clocks) by ~13%, an improvement likely born of improved instruction per clock (IPC) throughput. That implies this chip comes with the Zen 2 microarchitecture.

[steep gust]

wow 10-15% IPS improvement leaks and the leak happens to follow right down the middle

Y'all need to realize this shit is easy to fake and plenty of Zen2 leaks have been

[minor turret]

@latent light sssh AMD bad, look at single core score lul

wont be able to run wow at 300 fps

[latent light]

it will be able to run BFV a 4K 240hz at 2 GHz

[steep gust]

with what GPUs

[latent light]

NVlink RTX titans

[steep gust]

yeah no

Not strong enough

Also overclocked 2080ti crush the RTX titan in games

[latent light]

what can a RTX titan do at low settings in 4K

[steep gust]

SLI 2080ti is enough for 4k 144hz

But not more

[latent light]

what can they do at ultra

80-90 fps?

[steep gust]

Shit wrong game why google

[latent light]

lol

[steep gust]

https://www.tweaktown.com/articles/8741/geforce-rtx-2080-ti-nvlink-4k-120fps-gaming-now-here/index9.html

[latent light]

the only 4K 144hz monitor has to be overclocked to get to 144hz

[steep gust]

Best I can find

You mean the only 4k 144hz panel

There is more than one 4k 144hz monitor

[latent light]

yeah the acer one

[steep gust]

Asus has one

[latent light]

don't they both do 4K 120hz stock and have the be overclocked to 144hz

[steep gust]

and HP for some reason

Wait that is a TV

4k 120hz with HDR

[molten bramble]

Y’all see that new ultra wide screen from Samsung? Stupid big.

[steep gust]

4k 144hz with HDR when using chroma sub sampling due to bandwidth issues

The monitor itself has no issues doing 4k 144hz HDR

DisplayPort does

[latent light]

yeah 32:9 5120x1440

[molten bramble]

Insane

[latent light]

think they said 144hz too?

[molten bramble]

I thought it went higher than that?

I don’t know if I’d want it to be honest, I like to segment my applications across screens.

I don’t even think the 1050Ti could properly drive something like that, probably have to get into the 2070 realm.

[latent light]

I'd like a 32:9 3840x1080 but I don't want it to be too big

just two 24" screen together

[steep gust]

Considering an iGPU can drive 4k monitors

[latent light]

I never checked out if the 2400G can do csgo in 4K

[steep gust]

5120x1440 is almost similar to 4k in pixels

[molten bramble]

Hmm

[latent light]

yeah pretty close

[molten bramble]

I don’t think I would want a monitor that took up 90% of my desk.

[latent light]

3840x2160 = 8,294,000 pixels
5120x1440 = 7,372,800 pixels

[steep gust]

I want a 3440x1440p monitor

[latent light]

I want ultrawide

[steep gust]

It is ultrawide

21:9

but not excessive

[latent light]

ultrawide 1080p

[steep gust]

ew no

[molten bramble]

Who makes that @steep gust ?

[steep gust]

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=344001440 lots of people

[latent light]

3440x1440 is hard to drive at 144hz

[steep gust]

Now add IPS and gsync / freesync and the list becomes smaller

I think I'll go with freesync instead of gsync tbh

Shit NVM there is only one then (at 120hz)

[latent light]

my brother has an Acer Predator X34

only goes to 100hz

[steep gust]

I want the X35 to be release

[molten bramble]

Ah, i saw a predator the other day, but it was pricey.

[steep gust]

but then the price tag big oof

[latent light]

I like 32:9

I'm going to wait for those to become cheaper

[steep gust]

3440x1440p 200hz HDR VA is gonna be like $2500

I can't afford that

[latent light]

what gpu could drive 200hz on that

maybe a next gen gpu

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824736008&ignorebbr=1&source=region&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Gaming+Monitors-_-N82E16824736008&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7briBRD7ARIsABhX8aC1-PRFC3BHu1GkzIiYYxG4JE4My6nthk7Et2axtwgzwzbSLcUGrXkaApVlEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

interesting

[molten coral]

I've been thinking to buy a 43'' ultrawide monitor from samsung for a long time now.

[latent light]

but idk that brand

do competitive players prefer TN over IPS and VA

[molten coral]

https://www.samsung.com/nl/business/business-monitors/curved-ultra-wide-monitor-c43j89/lc43j890dkuxen/

[molten bramble]

I have had a great experience with all my Samsung products, except their IP cameras, those are literal crap.

[latent light]

[molten coral]

Samsung is great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh26IxwnkbY

it looks great

[molten bramble]

🔥

[molten coral]

only thing I don't like is the resolution

[molten bramble]

!jumbo 🔥

[latent light]

3840x1200

wtf

32:10 oh

so two 16:10 monitors

[molten coral]

Could also get the 49'' for 100 euro more.

The 43'' is 800

I'm using an 34'' ultrawide at the moment.

It's great but I wouldn't mind something bigger

[steep gust]

wtf why that aspect ratio

21:9 has issues

Don't make it worse by making it XX:10

[molten coral]

issues?

[latent light]

a few games have UI problems with anything wider than 16:9

[molten bramble]

Ah

[latent light]

then again, games that have problems with that don't deserve my money

[molten coral]

Most games are great although I never play old games.

A lot of people who tend to hate on 21:9 are people who play mostly old games so the UI looks like shit.

[latent light]

people that play csgo on 4:3

[molten bramble]

Ouch

[molten coral]

And a lot of old games don't support 21:9 so it isn't even worth to buy a 21:9 if you only play old games.

[latent light]

you can play at 16:9 on a 21:9 but there will be black bars

[molten bramble]

I mean, couldn’t you just dial it down and box it a little to play old stuff?

Yeah

[molten coral]

Black bars are terrible

I don't even watch youtube videos on fullscreen just because of the black bars

Mostly use the larger setting

[latent light]

if I had a 32:9 monitor, I'd play games on the left half and discord on the other

like how my two monitors are already configured

[molten coral]

This is what I have

[latent light]

that looks easier to deal with

I see megumin

[latent light]

[molten coral]

Also have darkness

[molten bramble]

So you’d window the game on the same screen and then run it side by side with discord? Seems like that would break up the fluidity that you get with a dedicated screen. I don’t like doing that at work on a monitor with applications, I suspect it would drive me bonkers with a game.

That said, I have three 24” monitors at work, and it’s still not enough workspace.

[molten coral]

Dunno, I don't really play old games.

97% of the games I have or have played had 21:9 support

[molten bramble]

I do like the organization of y’alls setups, clean.

[latent light]

GTA 5, camera zoomed out, 16:9 4K TV versus 32:9 gaming monitor

[molten coral]

I wanna get a 43'' ultrawide and replace the 27'' for the 34'' so i've stacked 2 ultrawide monitors.

My 1070 loves me for this idea

[latent light]

tbh 1080p ultrawide would be fine with a 1070

[molten coral]

my 34'' is 1080p

A lot of people say 1080p is shit with ultrawide but tbh I don't really care.

It doesn't look bad

[latent light]

get a 1080p 32:9 and put it above your 21:9 as the discord/chrome screen

[molten bramble]

Stretching?

[latent light]

and keep the 21:9 as the gaming monitor

and keep the 21:9 as the gaming monitor

[molten coral]

I'll be waiting for a 1440p 43'' ultrawide.

Is discord doing a oopsie doopsie again?

[latent light]

yeah my message failed to send too

yeah my message failed to send too

discord servers

discord is not a reliable voice chat for gamers yet

teamspeak and skype are still better in that regard

discord is the best text chat app though

discord is the best text chat app though

[steep gust]

TeamSpeak has better settings

and quality

like teamspeaks shits all over discord when it comes to group leading more than 4 people

[latent light]

yeah lol

btw, Lisa Su confirmed more than 8 cores for 3rd gen ryzen in an interview

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3331944/components-processors/lisa-su-on-the-record-amds-ceo-talks-ryzen-vega-ray-tracing-and-lots-more-at-ces.html?page=2

Reporter: So during the keynote, somebody messaged me about the core counts on Ryzen…

Su: So it only took like 30 minutes for somebody [to ask the question]!

Reporter: So can you give us any indication where Ryzen third-gen is going to be at?

Su: If you look at the evolution of Ryzen, we’ve always had an advantage in core count, and so in this particular case we wanted to show sort of a head-to-head comparison: eight cores, 16 threads. Some people may have noticed on the package that there’s some extra room.

Reporter: Yes, we’ve already done the math.

Su: So there is some extra room on that package. And I think you might expect that we will have more than eight cores. I didn’t say how many more.

[steep gust]

And I think you might expect that we will have more than eight cores. I didn’t say how many more.

big thing there

[lofty light]

@molten coral @latent light

Who needs one of those super ultrawide when you can have 3 monitors?

[latent light]

next up, 3 ultra wides

cover your whole field of view

[lofty light]

Even my massive desk isn't enough for that.... yet

You can see my PC hidden away at the right

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vttgjy

[steep gust]

Get a cheaper 580

or spend a little more and get a 2060

Get a better PSU

1070s are still pretty cheap

[latent light]

you can find RX 580s for $50 cheaper than that one lmao

Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 is going for $200 on newegg

probably the best 580 you can buy

RTX 2060 for $350 is another great option

also I can't recommend that ASUS Prime motherboard, 4+2 phase and doesn't even have a heatsink

just bare VRMs

[steep gust]

I can't recommend any of Asus' budget lineup

1. It needs ASUS Aura Sync regardless (and it needs to be M-ATX)
2. 20- - series Nvidia cards are getting RMA’d like crazy, but we’re also trying to do a RGB AMD build. The 580 you first had linked is a great card, just not RGB 😦

@latent light

Thank you for assisting all of you!

this RX 580 has RGB logo on it

[opaque sapphire]

That just might work

[opaque sapphire]

Problem is, I'd need Gigabyte hardware for the RGB sync unfortunately

[latent light]

what it looks like

[opaque sapphire]

As long as it cycles colors it'd be great

[latent light]

yeah it cycles by default

[opaque sapphire]

Thats not bad

Do you think there is a better ASUS M-ATX motherboard though than what I have? If not, I may have to cycle out the RAM and Mobo

[latent light]

that sapphire nitro+ does have RGB lighting, even on the fans

[opaque sapphire]

Thats a nice card

[latent light]

that ASUS prime motherboard you showed is just kinda meh

they didn't even put a heatsink on the VRMs

[steep gust]

@opaque sapphire Uh what? The RMA rates for founder's edition 2080ti was normal

[latent light]

if you get a DOA card, just send it back for another

[steep gust]

yeah they died slightly more than expected, but nothing crazy

[opaque sapphire]

I've had friends say they've RMA'd their 2070's and one 2080

[steep gust]

Its been mostly dealt with now and it only really did anything to the FOUNDERS EDITON 2080ti

[latent light]

well 2080 Tis with the reference PCB

[steep gust]

I know someone who has RMA'd 4 Titan X (pascal) and yet to get a fully functional one, one experience means very little

[opaque sapphire]

The 2080 was Asus and the 2070's werent founders i think. Not calling these new cards bad, they just had a rushed launch that's all

[steep gust]

I mean the cards are also bad generally for their price

[opaque sapphire]

Personally I'd love to get a 2080 though

[steep gust]

The 2080 is a terrible buy

[opaque sapphire]

Oh yeah def

[steep gust]

Price to performance wise its shit

[opaque sapphire]

raytracing

[steep gust]

The 2080ti got away with being the best of the best

"ray-tracing"

a single GPU can't do full on ray tracing and the BFV reflections ain't proper ray tracing

[latent light]

would be nice to see a Navi announcement

[opaque sapphire]

^^^

[steep gust]

Computex

[latent light]

Navi is rumored to launch as late as July though

[opaque sapphire]

Literally my R9 fury is about to die so they need to hurry it up lol

[latent light]

die out of no where?

[opaque sapphire]

No, its just now started experiencing artifacts, occasional black screens (for a second), etc

[latent light]

weird

[steep gust]

lower overclock if you have one

[opaque sapphire]

My fury is the highest clocked on the market (iirc) so its no wonder its dying so soon

[steep gust]

eh it should be fine

Binning doesn't increasing the risk of dying

[opaque sapphire]

It's at stock from the factory but I can try to lower the clock to see if it helps

[steep gust]

Does the heatsink contact memory?

[opaque sapphire]

Um

[steep gust]

A lot of cheaper GPUs cheap out on thermal pads

Which can end poorly if your GPU runs hot

[opaque sapphire]

I mean, this would happen at Idle too

[latent light]

I wanna check my RX 580 to see if there's thermal pads for the memory but I don't want to void warranty just yet

[steep gust]

Legally it can't void the warranty

You now just have to prove you didn't kill it via removing the cooler

[latent light]

like there isn't a void warranty sticker on any of the screws

[steep gust]

Check the warranty

Lots of companies allow repasting

[latent light]

it's gigabyte warranty

[steep gust]

dunno about gigglebyte

They are all over the place with everything

[latent light]

for AMD, I'm just going to get Sapphire from now on

they are the best AIB for AMD

XFX is good too but XFX coolers are meh

XFX used to be Nvidia exclusive

now they have no partnership with them

Thats what I have (although it was new when I got it)

Hell of a card

Crushed 1060's and rivaled 1070's at the time

[latent light]

4GB HBM

[opaque sapphire]

Yeah but I can still run titles (FFXV, Black Ops 4, etc) 60+ fps 1440p

I even ran BF1 at 50fps max settings on 4k

[latent light]

Vega 64 LC is nice but the power consumption

360W

I like hybrid cards

cool and quiet

[opaque sapphire]

Yeah. I really want that Radeon VII tho

[latent light]

do you need an ASUS board for that build

one you posted earlier

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813119141

this one would be a better option

[opaque sapphire]

Thanks!

mother of oof

[minor turret]

Cheaping out on thermal pads is a big thonker

unless labour costs are a big part of it

[steep gust]

couple of dollars per GPU adds up

[tepid river]

@latent light vega is like a jet engine

Idk about the hybrid+air cooler

But the power it draws its gross

It isnt even worth it

[snow snow]

can anyone help me helping a friend to update the drives for battlefield 5? his geeforce experience is in version 388.57, but he needs 416.94 driver version or later for playing battlefield 5!

[tepid river]

Delete geforce experience plz

[steep gust]

Vega is fine

[night talon]

@snow snow he just needs to look for updates. What is the problem?

@tepid river why?

[tepid river]

wehat wh

what

[minor turret]

@steep gust its not dollars per gpu but cents per gpu

unless labour is really expensive

[snow snow]

it says in geeforce experience that there is no more updates! @night talon

[queen radish]

I am about to buy an asus with i7-8750h and gtx 1060 3gb vram, 8gb ram, will it run bf1 smoothly?

[steep gust]

Thermal pads are not super expensive, but when you need a lot of them then cutting out $1-2 worth per GPU when you make 10,000 adds up
